🚨Holy shit. Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince told Reuters, "I think we're going to have a couple years where every single week it's going to feel like the sky is falling," as AI keeps surfacing software flaws.
Same story says experts are split on whether more bugs means more successful attacks, and Prince calls it a net positive in the end.
What Sam is not saying yet is: There is a solution here which is to use coding agents to replace all the bad code (i.e. essentially all code) with code that is formally verified to have safety properties.
This is a huge and difficult undertaking yet the same non-AGI-yet-superpowerful AI tech that is doing all the hacking is capable to enable this.
If government wants to do something valuable to smooth the path to the Singularity, one helpful step would be to allocate a trillion dollars (oh maybe just try $500B for starters?) to open-source communities to roll out software for automatically replacing badly buggy code (again almost all code) w appropriately formally verifiable code...
Gov't can find trillions of $$ to bail out "too big to fail" companies in crisis -- it did it for the banks in 2008 and will do it for Big Tech if the circular financing causes a tech-industry financial collapse in late 2027/2028 ... it can find massive $$ for wars... but finding hundreds of billions of $$ to end world hunger or give the world a solid software foundation is somehow utterly infeasible...
We are not even to the stage of human-level AGI yet but we are already meeting fascinatingly and disturbingly unprecedented situations as modern AI tech meets legacy society and legacy IT systems. It's just going to get crazier, before ultimately -- if all goes well -- getting gloriously abundant for all... We need some "out of the box" thinking across all levels of society to get through this transitional phase with a modicum of grace amidst all the chaos...
Elon Musk spreads disinformation about Ukraine after being exposed for sabotaging military operations by the WSJ.
The US tax funded billionaire, Trump's largest donor, (backed by Israel and Russia); tied to the deaths of thousands of children due to USAid cuts, blames Ukraine for not surrendering.
Did you know Ukraine was one of the founding members of the United Nations in 1945?
For eight decades, Ukraine has contributed to the UN’s work across human rights, the rule of law, sustainable development, and, above all, peace and security.
Today, Ukraine continues to defend the principles on which the organisation was built and work towards a just and lasting peace.
Christian Bale spent roughly 15–16 years quietly working to create a foster-care village in Palmdale through the nonprofit Together California. The project, costing around $20–22 million, was designed to keep siblings from being separated in the foster system by housing them together in family-style homes. It also includes apartments for teens aging out of care and a large community center offering support services to help them transition successfully into adulthood.
Christian Bale was deeply involved for over a decade in helping make the village a reality.
Ukrainian drones have reached deep into Siberia in a spectacular another long-range operation, targeting Russia’s massive Omsky Kauchuk chemical plant in Omsk, approximately 2,500 kilometers from Ukraine.
Established in 1962, the Soviet-era industrial giant is one of Russia’s most important petrochemical producers, with several significant national distinctions:
- Russia’s largest single-unit MTBE production capacity, producing a critical additive used in high-octane gasoline.
- Russia’s largest isopropyl alcohol production facility, with an annual capacity of 60,000 tonnes.
- Russia’s second-largest MTBE producer, accounting for approximately 16% of national production in 2026.
- One of Russia’s leading phenol producers, accounting for approximately 18% of national production in 2021.
- A top synthetic rubber manufacturer, supplying materials used in tires, industrial equipment, hoses, and other civilian and military applications.
- Volodymyr Zelensky 🇺🇦:
"We are not losing this war.
But we are losing people because Russia attacks. We are losing people and time. It's a pity, because our children don't have a real life, childhood – and all the people, to be honest. That's why we need to end this war as quickly as possible.
I hope that our partners, Americans and Europeans, will help us.
God bless our strong soldiers. They stay strong on the battlefield, and it helps me be strong during any kind of negotiations.”
...............
They will have my support until victory and beyond 🫡❤️
Respect to Volodymyr Zelensky and to all defenders.
You are incredible 🫡🇺🇦
Omsk is on fire! 🔥
A Russian city 3,000 kilometers away from Ukraine is under attack again. Something that was unthinkable only a year ago is a repeating reality now.
The Omsk Caoutchouc (Synthetic Rubber) plant is on fire. The local Ozon warehouse is reportedly too.
270 of our people are home.
A very important result.
National Guard members, including Azov warriors, border guards, warriors of the Territorial Defense Forces, the Navy, the Land Forces, the Airborne Assault Forces, and the State Special Transport Service, as well as nine civilians, are returning home. Most of them had been in captivity since 2022.
Most of those released are warriors who defended Ukraine in Mariupol. Defenders from the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, and Chernihiv sectors are also returning. Many were illegally convicted in Russia. Among those returning are five people who survived the Russian terrorist attack in Olenivka in July 2022.
We remember one and all and continue searching for everyone. I thank everyone who works to make these exchanges possible. And, of course, I am grateful to our warriors who are replenishing Ukraine’s prisoner exchange fund on the front so that we can bring our people home. Glory to Ukraine!
