Perplexity CEO on China catching up in AI:

“Whatever you did to not let them catch up didn’t even matter. They ended up catching up anyway.

What’s more dangerous is they have the best open-source model. And all the American developers are building on that.”

That was DeepSeek.

Now https://t.co/4mU5qMAq5u just dropped GLM-5.2:

• MIT open weights
• 1M context
• 81.0 on Terminal-Bench 2.1
• within a few points of Claude Opus 4.8

The open-source AI race is not theory anymore.

Rule #2: The Exact Email Script

Send this to the bank's fraud department and copy the dispute team:

"On [Date], I identified unauthorized transactions totaling $[Amount] on my card ending in [XXXX]. These were not authorized by me and occurred in [Location], where I was not present. Under the Visa/Mastercard Zero Liability policy, I am requesting an immediate provisional credit. Please confirm receipt and provide a reference number within 24 hours."

Email creates a timestamp. Phone calls create nothing.

🚨 BREAKING: Everyone who joined our NHS–Palantir campaign has now had a reply from NHS England's Data Protection Officer.

In writing, they confirmed:
▸ Palantir staff can access identifiable patient data before it's pseudonymised
▸ There is no opt-out from the Federated Data Platform
▸ Your Article 21 right to object has been formally refused

They've confirmed it. They won't change it.

Next step: a formal ICO complaint, citing their own response.

We're building a one-click escalation tool for campaign participants. Watch this space.

She was 57 years old.
White hair. No carefully managed image. No media training designed to make her more palatable. Just thirty years of accumulated knowledge and the calm, unhurried authority of a woman who had spent her life mastering her subject.
She sat on a BBC panel, answered questions about immigration and politics, cited evidence, made arguments — and then went home.
The next morning, her inbox looked like a crime scene.
Her name is Mary Beard — Cambridge professor, classicist, one of the most respected scholars of ancient Rome and Western civilisation alive. And the internet had decided that a woman speaking with quiet authority on television needed to be punished for it.
The messages were not criticism. They were not debate. They were rape threats. Death threats. Coordinated campaigns of personal destruction targeting her appearance, her age, her voice — anything that could be used to remind her that spaces like the one she had just occupied were not meant for her.
Most people would have gone quiet.
Mary Beard went further in.
She did what scholars do when they find a pattern that disturbs them: she followed it backward. Through decades. Through centuries. Through millennia. All the way back to some of the oldest texts in Western civilisation.
And she found it had always been there.
In Homer's Odyssey — one of the foundational works of Western literature, nearly three thousand years old — there is a scene that most readers pass over without registering its quiet violence. Penelope comes downstairs and asks the poet to sing a different song. Her own son, Telemachus, cuts her off. He orders her back to her room and tells her plainly: speech is the business of men.
She goes.
Mary Beard read that scene and recognized it immediately.
Not as ancient history. As a pattern.
In ancient Rome, women who dared to speak in public were not described as orators or thinkers. They were described as noise — disorderly sound, something that did not deserve to be called language or argument. Their voices were not speech. Their thoughts were not thoughts.
In the medieval world, women who claimed public authority were labeled as witches.
Elizabeth I — Queen of England, ruler of a nation — had to rhetorically reshape herself into something masculine just to be taken seriously as the leader of her own country.
The silencing of women who speak with authority was not invented by social media. It was not a modern pathology or a cultural accident. It was built deliberately, over centuries, into the very foundations of how Western civilisation defined who gets to speak, what authority sounds like, and who is allowed to take up space in public life.
Mary Beard had found something important.
In 2017, she published Women & Power: A Manifesto — short enough to read in an afternoon, substantial enough to reframe everything you thought you understood about why this keeps happening.
Her argument was precise and devastating.
The problem is not that women lack the ability to lead. The problem is that the model of leadership itself — the template for what public authority looks, sounds, and feels like — was built by men over centuries and has never been redesigned. When a woman enters public life and doesn't fit that template, she is not failing. The template was never built for her. It was built specifically to exclude her, and it has been doing exactly that, efficiently and continuously, for three thousand years.
The solution, Beard argued, is not to teach women to perform power the way men have always performed it. The solution is to dismantle and rebuild the very concept of what power is allowed to look like.
She kept teaching. She kept writing. She kept appearing on television — white-haired, unhurried, carrying her decades of authority without performing it, without packaging it for comfort, without apologizing for it.
The threats continued.
But other messages began arriving too. Letters from women and girls who had spent their entire lives feeling that every door was slightly too narrow, every table slightly too high, every room slightly reluctant to make space for them. Women who had spent years wondering what was wrong with them — why they couldn't quite fit, couldn't quite belong, couldn't quite be taken seriously no matter how much they knew or how hard they worked.
They read the book and understood, perhaps for the first time, that nothing had ever been wrong with them.
The room had been designed without them in mind.
That is not a personal failing.
That is a three-thousand-year-old architectural decision.
And one Cambridge professor with white hair and a calm voice — who refused to go quiet when the internet told her to — spent her career documenting it, naming it, and handing that knowledge to everyone who needed to hear it.
Telemachus told Penelope that speech was the business of men.
He was wrong then.
He is still wrong now.
And Mary Beard has three thousand years of evidence to prove it.

Former BlackRock fund manager Ed Dowd on the SpaceX IPO:

"people gotta understand... [SpaceX] raised $75 billion... [and only] floated 5% of the stock... it's a very small float"

"[But its valuation], that's a different story"

"$1.7 trillion did not go to SpaceX. [It is] $75 billion. So people need to understand that"

"then when Anthropic and OpenAI, if they ever make it to IPO, they're going to raise about $100 billion each. So the total raised actual real money is about $300 billion between these three IPOs"

"Their valuations, that's a different story. And those probably won't hold and they'll probably, you know, go down 80%. So anybody buying these stocks at these prices is probably going to lose a lot of money if they hold on to them"

[World of Engineering @engineers_feed]

Voyager 1 is 24 billion kilometers from Earth.

It communicates with us using a 23-watt transmitter.
Less than a refrigerator light bulb.

The signal takes 22 hours to reach us, traveling at the speed of light.

By the time it arrives, it's 20 billion times weaker than the power of a digital watch battery.

NASA's Deep Space Network picks it up using 70-meter dish antennas cooled to near absolute zero to reduce electronic noise.

The engineering required to hear a 23-watt signal from 24 billion km away is arguably more impressive than the spacecraft itself.

Launched 1977.
Still transmitting.
Still being heard.

We built something that works perfectly, 47 years later, in conditions no one has ever tested in.

That's what engineering for the long term looks like.

If 9 Israelis had been burnt alive yesterday, they’d have called it a barbaric & savage antisemitic massacre.

When Israel burns alive 9 Palestinians to death, they call it a ceasefire.

EXCLUSIVE 🚨 I have seen an embargoed government report that national media cannot publish until tomorrow.

Here is what it says….

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor spent years refusing to leave Royal Lodge. While there, he sublet THREE cottages on the estate and kept the income for himself.
Those cottages went vacant in April 2026. Shortly after he suddenly left.

And now? Under the lease’s early surrender clause, he could legally walk away with £301,967.66 in compensation.That’s not all.

The National Audit Office has confirmed that Beatrice, Eugenie and Prince & Princess Michael of Kent have been living in Crown properties at BELOW market rent — as low as 50% of market value in some cases.

Who is paying those rents right now? The KING. Out of his private Privy Purse.

The NAO’s own words: the rent rules have ‘not always been strictly followed.’

This is not a tabloid story. This is the government’s own auditors.
The papers get to run this tomorrow. You’re reading it tonight on my X. Mainstream media is over.

🛑 Nigel Farage should resign and face criminalinvestigation.
I do not often speak publicly about the riots of 2024, because my family still carries the scars of what happened afterwards. My son was followed by a far-right thug who threatened to burn and kill him, before smashing up our car when my husband arrived to protect him.

So it is not lost on me that Nigel Farage has escalated from suggesting, in the wake of Southport in 2024, that the truth was being hidden from the public, to now explicitly calling for “pure, cold rage” in 2026.

We know where this kind of rhetoric leads. Calls like that, alongside Tommy Robinson’s calls for people to gather outside police stations, have been followed by violent disorder in our communities.

Tuesday night in Southampton, 11 police officers were injured, people were reportedly arrested for offences including possession of weapons and assaulting police, property was damaged, cars were smashed, and communities were left frightened and distressed.

This is not responsible leadership. This is not justice for victims. This is the politics of rage, hate and division, and it has real consequences in communities like ours, and for families like mine.

Nigel Farage is a dangerous politician. He is dealing in a mendacious, hate-fuelled style of politics that puts ordinary people at risk.
He should resign.

If only someone in the media would expose Farage's incitement yesterday via performative utterance in the same way that Jonathan Miller humiliated Enoch Powell and his grubby little racism.

I have close friends who are Sikh. Their community has been a credit to the UK. They’re devastated by the heinous crime committed by Vikrum Digwa. They’re vocal in condemning the brutal and senseless murder of young Henry Nowak. I stand by Henry’s family and the Sikh community as hard right forces shamelessly exploit this tragedy.
