The Real IRA “issued an evacuation order” just before the Omagh Bombing

Great!

Excellent!

I had filed an EU Ombudsman complaint about the European Parliament incessantly pushing X and other US big tech platforms on its website.

Omg Chomsky went to collect his prize too. That’s depressing.

Depends what you mean by preaching non-violence. If it includes conscientious objectors supporting other soldiers to quit, then I disagree. There’s plenty of that happening right now in the US, Russia, Ukraine, and elsewhere. They are the biggest threat to the state and to capitalism

Most of the Bundeswehr strategy remains classified

According to the military strategy, Russia represents "the greatest and most immediate threat for the foreseeable future" to Germany and transatlantic security: "Russia is laying the groundwork for a military attack on NATO member states."

The document then goes on to analyze how the Bundeswehr should respond to potential war scenarios, such as a Russian attack on NATO territory, though the details are classified.

"It goes without saying that we cannot make these scenarios public. Otherwise, we might as well add Vladimir Putin to our mailing list," Pistorius said.

Greek gov commits to waste billions on warships—that’s the story.

EU: “Deeply concerned.”

I wonder what could have prompted this? 🤔

OpenAI's Sam Altman says today that they're gonna take Anthropic's place on DoW classified networks (https://xcancel.com/sama/status/2027578652477821175#m).

Still, Anthropic being designated a "supply chain risk" is good news, as it means Claude cannot officially be used anymore by the Pentagon and by all of its suppliers. That's massive.

Good discussion of this on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47188473

I haven't read anyone say that it was about retaining the IP. Anthropic says, and others agree, that it would be totally irresponsible to use current frontier AI systems for lethal autonomous weapon systems -- even if you think that LAWS are okay. Current AI systems are far too error-prone.

What if you drink alcohol or use recreational drugs? You can still take the bus and won’t endanger anyone (unless you’re totally off your head). Drink/drugged drivers are a danger to everyone.
