If you put powerful AI models directly into the hands of every American warrior, we are going to create so much porn. New frontiers of porn. Porn you haven't even imagined.
Pete Hegseth: "The future of American warfare is here, and it's spelled AI."
He says the military has launched a new platform that "puts the world's most powerful frontier AI models, starting with Google Gemini, directly into the hands of every American warrior."

The thing is, this new foreign policy is obviously very bad news for Europe, but it is also INSANELY contrary to US economic, military and general geopolitical interests.
This is far beyond 'NATO as we've known it is done.'
"The Trump administration had “a clear and consistent vision for Europe: one that prioritises US-Russia ties and seeks to divide and conquer the continent, with much of the dirty work carried out by nationalist, far-right European forces.”

We spent all that energy catastrophizing about what environmental regulations would do to beef availability and pricing and apparently failed to adequately catastrophize about what climate change would do to beef availability and pricing absent those regulations.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Let me try, and I won't turn off replies, and you can quote-post me if you like. Claire Lehman was and is a bad actor. She and the whole Quillette gang used "heterodox" as a way to make it sound sexy that they believed black people are genetically destined to be less intelligent than white people.
Update: actual Peak Bluesky has been achieved, the author has done a HELEN, ANSWER FOR YOUR CRIMES quote-tweet and then not allowed me to answer for my crimes by turning off replies.

I mean, yes, going to bat for Clare Lehmann isn't actually that laudable, Helen. The technocapitalists are awful: but do you think that the intellectual climate wasn't primed for this nonsense?

The answer is no, it's not the job of journalists to never criticise the left in case it drives Joe Lonsdale to be more sexist. You could just as easily argue that leftwing over-reach caused that and it would be better if it had been inhibited by more scrutiny. Reality is more complex than either.

The idea that public opinion on immigration is directly negatively correlated with the number of immigrants who enter the country is categorically false. It's entirely the information environment. Why have attitudes changed so fast in the other direction since Trump took office?
Anger over illegal migration helped return Donald Trump to the presidency. A New York Times review of former President Joe Biden’s actions on immigration found that Biden and his advisers repeatedly rebuffed recommendations to stem that migration. Here are key takeaways.
4 Takeaways From The Times’s Reporting on Biden’s Immigration Record
A New York Times review of President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s actions on immigration showed that they created an opening for a more aggressive Trump administration agenda.

They do not want legal immigration. It is a racist, nationalist cult.
