SUPERPOSITIONED: QUANTUM SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
While everyone watches AI, quantum crossed a threshold in 2025 thought impossible 30 years ago.
Yet, no analysis exists covering the breakthroughs, the money, the key players, and what's next.
Until now.

⚡️Emergency Pentagon meeting: generals in panic
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegset has called an emergency meeting for hundreds of generals and admirals, scheduled for September 30 at a Marine Corps base in Virginia.
The reasons for the meeting were not explained, even to senior officers, causing panic among military command, according to The Washington Post.
Military sources told the newspaper they couldn't recall any instance when the Pentagon head had ordered such a gathering of generals and admirals.
Some military personnel expressed concerns about the safety implications of the meeting.
WP notes that the order came after Hegset announced major changes within the Pentagon, including a 20% reduction in the number of generals.
Another sign the singularity is near:
Researchers successfully trained an AI to discover NEW LAWS OF PHYSICS
"The AI corrected some faulty assumptions that shaped plasma theory for years."
"The development shows that AI can be used to uncover previously unknown laws."
“We showed that we can use AI to discover new physics. Our AI method is not a black box: we understand how and why it works. The framework it provides is also universal."
“For all the talk about how AI is revolutionizing science, there are very few examples where something fundamentally new has been found directly by an AI system.”
Questo è un momento decisivo nella storia, un momento di svolta e di resa dei conti. Ho detto che queste tecniche intimidatorie mi ricordano molto quelle della Mafia. Per prima cosa si mette a tacere, si distrugge la reputazione, poi si intimidisce e infine si minaccia chiunque osi denunciare il sistema, la collusione tra interessi politici, economici e finanziari. Sapete, provengo da un luogo che è stato afflitto da questo tipo di logica un luogo dove giudici, avvocati e attivisti da Peppino Impastato a Giovanni Falcone e Paolo Borsellino sono stati uccisi per essersi schierati a favore della giustizia. Quindi so cosa rischiano le persone quando si oppongono ai grandi poteri. Ma quello che so anche (ed è una lezione che ho appreso dal luogo da dove provengo) è che queste tecniche funzionano solo se riescono a mettere a tacere le persone. Se le persone restano unite, denunciano e reagiscono, ancora una volta, queste sanzioni funzionano solo se le persone hanno paura e smettono di impegnarsi per la giustizia.

Dario Amodei: "We need to be raising the alarms."
THE INTELLIGENCE CURSE: Due to AI job losses, ordinary people will lose their economic leverage, which breaks democracy and leads to severe concentration of power.
"Policymakers do need to worry about it."
"We can prevent it, but not by just saying 'everything's gonna be OK'."
"People have adapted to past technological changes but I'll say it again: this looks different. It looks faster, it looks harder to adapt.
The pace of progress keeps catching people off guard."
