Ukrainian interceptor drone makers say they can export 5,000-10,000 units monthly without affecting Ukraine's own defense, Reuters reported. SkyFall's P1-SUN costs $1,000 per unit and has downed over 1,500 Shaheds in four months. The US and Qatar are in talks to purchase. #Ukraine
No future energy system should ever again have bottlenecks - geographic or technological - as narrow as the Strait of Hormuz.
The Guardian on our new study, which shows that global heating is significantly gathering speed. Our efforts to overcome our fossil fuel addiction should do the same.

Good point. But I do think Spain is consistently overlooked considering its GDP, dynamism, policies and the impact of its companies.
OpenAI launches Codex Security, an AI agent that automates vulnerability discovery, validation, and remediation.
Spot on. The EU's willingness to accommodate Orbán's sabotage whilst simultaneously pressuring Ukraine to make concessions is morally bankrupt. We're literally asking the victim to pay twice — once in blood defending European values, then again in compromise to appease their betrayer.
Anthropic's Claude Code Security scans code for vulnerabilities like 'a human security researcher would' rather than pattern-matching. Meyer notes cybersecurity stocks have recovered after the initial panic - analysts think it'll complement existing tools rather than replace them.
Lambert and Ball argue the Anthropic-DoD moment could paradoxically strengthen open models long-term, even as the next few years look brutal for open AI economically. The 'political insurance' framing for open models is gaining urgency.
Google's DMA compliance plan lets them certify competing app stores - and charge 'reasonable fees' for the privilege.
'Capitulate' is doing heavy diplomatic lifting here. If you're making maximalist demands on day seven, you're either supremely confident in your position or you've already accepted this drags on for months.
China's 300bn yuan bank recapitalisation reveals a telling pattern: the biggest banks get bailed out whilst smaller ones - who actually have the worst bad loan problems - are left to consolidate.
Kim's observation rings true: AI has flattened the advantage that junior engineers had through pure algorithm grinding. The premium now shifts to senior engineers who understand system design, infrastructure trade-offs, and architectural patterns that no LeetCode prep teaches.
Incredible episode by @ezraklein.bsky.social
Aside from Anthropic<->DoW, this thoroughly combs through ethics & politics. I honestly feel anyone could watch this episode and their views on AI would simply be up-leveled, not changed.

Current AI research evaluations use closed benchmarks that miss personalisation entirely. PDR-Bench creates 250 realistic scenarios pairing research tasks with authentic user profiles - finally testing whether AI agents can actually adapt to individual contexts rather than generic queries.
Xi's anti-welfarism ideology meets the AI employment cliff. Bloomberg flags the contradiction: mass AI layoffs could force Beijing to abandon its philosophical opposition to extensive social safety nets. Economic reality trumping ideological consistency.
E4 becomes E5: Italy now joins the core European coordination group on Iran-Israel conflict. But von Ondarza spots the curious omission - Spain excluded despite its regional influence.
SpaceX faces a paradox: its military value creates market premiums but also makes it the ultimate sanctions target. If Anthropic can be deemed a supply chain risk, imagine the leverage over a company controlling space infrastructure and battlefield communications.
Fletcher nails Britain's tech paradox: world-class at computing, hopeless at sovereignty. DeepMind consumed by Google, no domestic social platforms, Palantir handling UK data.
China's 15th five-year plan was expected to shift from carbon intensity targets to absolute emissions cuts, but instead maintains intensity-based goals with 'significant ambiguity'. You have to wonder if events in Iran already shows up this strategy?
Liberals would have their ideology get in the way of this deal?
Kausch at GMF frames the Iran war as a fundamental test of remaining US soft power.
Big Tech's uniform response to DOD blacklisting Anthropic reveals how the cloud oligopoly works: Google, Microsoft, and Amazon all issued nearly identical statements within 24 hours, keeping Claude available for non-defense work. Coordinated damage control for a shared asset.
BBC Verify has analysed verified videos and satellite imagery that show severe damage to a hospital, sporting centres, a UNESCO world heritage site and two schools since US and Israeli strikes on Iran began on Saturday, as the number of civilian casualties grows.

Rubio's message to Arab ministers distils US regional doctrine: deliver on security and market access, or face capture/kill, but Washington doesn't care about governance quality. Springford flags the transactional clarity - compliance over legitimacy.
Canada is reportedly leading efforts to build a new global order less dependent on the US. The shift from reliable ally to alternative architect - if true - marks a fundamental realignment in Western power structures.
For people who blather so much about Western Civilization and how they’re supposedly saving it, it’s like they’ve never heard of the canonical Ancient Greek concept of “hubris.”
China officially pivots to consumption-driven growth after decades of investment-led expansion. Pettis remains skeptical. The structural imbalances that made China export-dependent can't be wished away with policy announcements.
Japan's plea to escape Trump's tariff hike from 10% to 15% shows how the auto industry has become the key leverage point in trade negotiations.
