I work at Google DeepMind. This won't make me popular. But it's all public reporting:

2014: DeepMind reportedly sold to Google on conditions: no military use, independent oversight

2026: a Pentagon contract for "any lawful government purpose"

Not one safeguard survived intact

And guess what? There’s a pattern. Starting with the now infamous £5m gift.

Ok folks. It’s time we talked about eels.

I’m a geologist but I recently learnt about eels and… wow.

Since then, I’ve been greeting strangers with ‘DO YOU KNOW ABOUT EELS?!’

Well, consider yourself a stranger in my path.

Strap in. It’s a 🧵
