Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.

Genuinely and sincerely, f*** you Anthropic.

It would be much easier to take Anthropic at the face value with their concern for safety were it not for the fact that every single experience with the “safety” censoring of their AI models didn’t involve some utter patronizing condescending ideological bullsh*t.

Jefferies Managing Director Andrew Tsai said he believes all psychedelics makers are currently undervalued.

“I’ve dealt with the depression landscape for a long time now—many years—and the class of drugs, the type of efficacy we’re seeing, is disruptive and paradigm shifting,” he said. “When you talk to doctors or psychiatrists specifically, they’re eager to adopt, and they tell me that patients are lining up the door for these psychedelics.”

Tsai noted that despite the fact that there are multiple antipsychotics such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) on the market, “The newer antidepressants or antipsychotics still manage to do blockbuster sales.” Because of this, he believes there is a large enough market for numerous psychedelic entrants.

“Sure, there are advantages and disadvantages within each, but I don’t really think there’s a winner take all scenario,” he told BioSpace. “I think all of them can win ultimately.”

@deanwball The "ungovernability" (and openness) of Linux and the Internet is precisely what has made their success.
The same will be true of open weight AI foundation models.

Hey, @Europarl_EN, your “This is not Chat Control” claim is nothing more than wordplay.

You yourselves confirm that private communications without end-to-end encryption may be scanned automatically.

Exempting encrypted chats for now (!!) and calling the measure “temporary” does not change the principle: private communications are being opened up to surveillance. Call it whatever you like. It is still Chat Control.

Shame on you.

[Chubby♨️ @kimmonismus]

Today is a dark day for freedom and democracy in Europe. General chat surveillance has been implemented in Brussels. A disgrace.

The so-called Chat Control 1.0 cleared a crucial hurdle in the European Parliament today. This means platforms may once again be allowed to scan private messages, officially on a “voluntary” basis, but in practice this marks the return of indiscriminate monitoring of private communication.

What makes this especially bitter is that a majority of the MEPs who voted were reportedly against it. According to Patrick Breyer, 314 MEPs voted against the regulation, 276 voted in favor and 17 abstained. And yet the rejection failed because it was not enough to have a simple majority of those voting. An absolute majority of all MEPs would have been required.

That is the democratic scandal.

When a majority of those present votes against a proposal and it still passes because a formal threshold is not reached, it does not feel like democratic decision-making to many citizens. It feels like a procedural trick.

And it becomes even more problematic when you look at the context: Chat Control had already been rejected before. Yet the issue was put back on the agenda shortly before the summer break, through an urgent procedure, at a time when absences could become decisive.

This is not just some technical regulation. It goes to the very core of private communication. It is about whether digital messages remain fundamentally private or whether platforms may systematically scan content again, without concrete suspicion, without a court order and without any individual cause.

A free society must not turn private communication into a potential surveillance zone. Anyone who takes digital fundamental rights seriously cannot accept millions of innocent people being placed under general suspicion.

Today, a dangerous signal was sent: fundamental rights can be hollowed out through procedural logic, timing and political tricks. Not through an open, clear and honest majority, but through a system in which absence effectively helps the supporters.

This is a dark day for Europe.

Not because the fight is over, but because today showed how easily digital fundamental rights come under pressure when surveillance logic, symbolic politics and institutional tricks come together.

Anyone who wants a free internet, anyone who wants to protect private communication and anyone who takes democracy seriously should talk about this.

Share this issue. Inform yourself. Look at who voted how. And never forget: freedom rarely disappears all at once. It disappears step by step, often in technical details, often in complicated procedures and often exactly when too few people are watching.
