TELEGRAPH: TRUMP BLOCKS UKRAINE PATRIOT LICENSE FEARING RUSSIAN CAPTURE OF TECHNOLOGY

Authorization for Ukraine to produce its own Patriot missiles was withheld by the Trump administration amid concerns that the underlying technology might fall into Russian hands, The Telegraph reported.

Growing internal disputes over technology-transfer risks prompted the change.

Enabling local manufacture would necessitate supplying not only hardware but also detailed designs, software and trained specialists.

Identification of all Ukrainian plants, staff and subcontractors with access to the systems, plus firm assurances against leakage to Russia, were described as major obstacles by a high-level UK official familiar with U.S. deliberations.

Previous cases of allied weapons reaching European black markets were cited by a source close to Trump as an additional source of administration unease.

Gianni Infantino surely cannot survive as FIFA president now. UEFA, AFC and CONCACAF have begun preliminary discussions about the possibility of organizing competitions among themselves to ensure that players can continue to compete - such as in the Women’s Under-20s World Cup which starts in less than a month - and are not impacted by the ongoing crisis surrounding Gianni Infantino.

The message from the three confederations to Infantino is very clear. He is being given the opportunity to resign and leave his position with dignity. He has the opportunity to go now and should not seek re-election in March. Because the pressure, the heat and the headlines are not going away. Change has to come. Infantino has to go.

China created a system that simulates the earth with billions of AI agents that has real personality, memory, beliefs and human-like desires.

it gives them a terrifying ability to predict the future.

they published a paper called "Modeling Earth-Scale Human-Like Societies with One Billion Agents."

they built "Light Society," a framework that efficiently models human-like societies powered by large language models.

traditional agent-based models were always limited by simple, predictable behaviors.

but this new earth-scale simulation framework uses a "mixture-of-models" engine to change everything.

by combining massive llms with smaller, highly efficient distilled surrogates, the researchers successfully simulated a society of over one billion autonomous agents.

they grounded these agents using real-world demographic data from the world values survey. these agents don't just act like generic bots..

they exhibit sophisticated social behaviors that mimic actual, diverse human populations.

they ran simulations on trust games and massive opinion diffusion, tracking how information spreads and how society evolves in real-time.

the simulation proved to have incredibly high fidelity in modeling diverse social phenomena, giving researchers a practical foundation for hypothesis testing.

think about what this means for predicting global elections, market crashes, or how a population will react to a crisis..

you don't need to poll people or guess anymore. you just run the simulation.

the infrastructure for agentic simulation is scaling faster than anyone realized. social sciences and predictive modeling will literally never be the same..

🇧🇬🇺🇦 A drone of Ukranian origin has crashed in Bulgaria, 100m from the Romanian border and near the critical gas pipeline compressor station.

This would mark another failed Ukrainian false flag on Europe, trying to escalate by blaming Russia, while their AD and army collapses.

Israel is preparing to attack "alone." Yeah, sure..

*So far Israel has shown it can't attack Iran without US air defense suppression capabilities & active U.S./French/UK defense of Israel (fighter jets chasing drones + THAAD)

*If they do so, Iran will respond by striking Israel, at a stage the stockpiles of air defense supposed to protect them is critical. 🍿

While they’re telling you to put more beans in your beef so you can afford to make burritos for your family, remember the Israeli lobby spent $30 million to take me out of Congress because I wouldn’t vote for the things that have made your grocery bills so high.

CNBC just noted that half of Under Armour's profit is coming from tariff refunds, and that broadly the refunds are propping up corporate profits.

Weird those refunds aren't going to consumers. Also weird prices aren't coming down. Almost as if tariffs don't drive inflation.
