Anthropic’s Statement To The ‘Department Of War’ Reads Like A Hostage Note Written In Business Casual We’ve been covering the ongoing saga of the Trump administration’s attempt to destroy Anthropic for the sin of having modest ethical guidelines around its AI technology. The short versi…

The reason the regime get its way : the silence & tacit compliance, preemptive obedience of the technology sector.

Anthropic and the Pentagon This piece by Bruce Schneier and Nathan E. Sanders is the most thoughtful and grounded coverage I've seen of the recent and ongoing Pentagon/OpenAI/Anthropic contract situation. AI models are increasingly …

Trump Deports Noem Trump abruptly fires Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Dan and Jon discuss the Congressional hearings that led to her dismissal, Trump's announcement that Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin will replace her, and the future of DHS. Then they react to the adm...

Sad to see Steven Bartlett fall into the conspiracy trap with The Banned Professor, Bret Weinstein relying on RFK to peddle Wuhan lab COVID-19 theories.

We may not like it, but I'd rather see the event succeed with Google money, than the event not happening for lack of means to exist..

its probably the same with a lot of initiatives around; we're all between two or more "tensions" between ideals & reality

That's the thing, purism and reality will never match because we live in a imperfect world, take Mozilla same issue, there is always compromise to survive, I don't think that taking Google's money to organize a great event around OSS and getting thousands of people to collab is a crime either.

Well... what where the #FOSDEM "sponsors" just a few weeks ago ?

Should FOSDEM also deprive itself of corporate sponsors to abide to purism ?

Who's going to be left for sponsoring if/when purism is more important than the ability of open-source organisation to survive ?

FR#156 – Share Where? On Mastodon's new Share button, and protocol ownership.

in this week's article I talk about Mastodon's new Share button, and how a network that cares strongly about open protocols gradually became dependent on proprietary protocols instead

A GitHub Issue Title Compromised 4,000 Developer Machines A prompt injection in a GitHub issue triggered a chain reaction that ended with 4,000 developers getting OpenClaw installed without consent. The attack composes well-understood vulnerabilities into something new: one AI tool bootstrapping another.

The Trump Administration Just Admitted Its War On Law Firms Was A Bluff. The Cowards Who Folded Already Paid The Price. We’ve said it over and over again on this site: when you stand up to the bully, the bully backs down. When you capitulate, you get nothing but a permanent stain and an invitation for more abu…

Like pretty much everything this regime does, but what about all the cowards from law-firms and Universities that bowed to the king ?

Israel’s Gaza War Is One of History’s Worst Crimes Israel’s war in Gaza combines a staggeringly high death rate, shocking violence toward children, unparalleled physical destruction, and now a world-historical famine. The world has, by objective measure, never seen anything like this.

Trump insists Israel did not force US hand on Iran attack as he meets German chancellor – live US president appears to contradict Marco Rubio remarks that Israel planned to strike Iran first, claiming ‘If anything, I might have forced Israel’s hand’

Well… I have serious doubts about this

* US decided to attack because Israel was already doing it and the US didn’t want to suffer a “blow” without also blowing things on its own
* Trump regime is stuck with a “partner” that is as rogue as the Trump re…

Who’s Deciding Where the Bombs Drop in Iran? Maybe Not Even Humans. Behind last week’s scrum between the Trump administration and Anthropic lies a deeper question of how warfare is conducted—and whether accountability even exists anymore.
