NEW: Ukrainian forces conducted an FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile strike against the Russian Titan-Barrikady ballistic missile development and production plant overnight on June 26 to 27.

Ukrainian forces also struck Russian oil infrastructure in Vladimir Oblast overnight as part of Ukraine’s 40-day intermediate- and long-range strike campaign to influence Russia to end the war in Ukraine.

The United States reimposed sanctions against Russian seaborne oil exports after temporary sanctions waivers expired and were not renewed.

Ukrainian forces recently advanced in the Borova direction.

Russian forces launched 129 drones against Ukraine overnight.

Yann LeCun was right the entire time. And generative AI might be a dead end.

For the last three years, the entire industry has been obsessed with building bigger LLMs. Trillions of parameters. Billions in compute.

The theory was simple: if you make the model big enough, it will eventually understand how the world works.

Yann LeCun said that was stupid.

He argued that generative AI is fundamentally inefficient.

When an AI predicts the next word, or generates the next pixel, it wastes massive amounts of compute on surface-level details.

It memorizes patterns instead of learning the actual physics of reality.

He proposed a different path: JEPA (Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture).

Instead of forcing the AI to paint the world pixel by pixel, JEPA forces it to predict abstract concepts. It predicts what happens next in a compressed "thought space."

But for years, JEPA had a fatal flaw.

It suffered from "representation collapse."

Because the AI was allowed to simplify reality, it would cheat. It would simplify everything so much that a dog, a car, and a human all looked identical.

It learned nothing.

To fix it, engineers had to use insanely complex hacks, frozen encoders, and massive compute overheads.

Until today.

Researchers just dropped a paper called "LeWorldModel" (LeWM).

They completely solved the collapse problem.

They replaced the complex engineering hacks with a single, elegant mathematical regularizer.

It forces the AI's internal "thoughts" into a perfect Gaussian distribution.

The AI can no longer cheat. It is forced to understand the physical structure of reality to make its predictions.

The results completely rewrite the economics of AI.

LeWM didn't need a massive, centralized supercomputer.

It has just 15 million parameters.

It trains on a single, standard GPU in a few hours.

Yet it plans 48x faster than massive foundation world models. It intrinsically understands physics. It instantly detects impossible events.

We spent billions trying to force massive server farms to memorize the internet.

Now, a tiny model running locally on a single graphics card is actually learning how the real world works.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

When I travel outside of Ukraine, I get daily intelligence updates online. This morning, I was briefed that U.S. military facilities in the Middle East and the Gulf region were photographed by Russian satellites in the interests of Iran.

On March 24th, they imaged the U.S.–UK joint military facility on Diego Garcia located in the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean. They also captured pictures of Kuwait International Airport and parts of the infrastructure of the Greater Burgan oil field. On March 25th, they took pictures of the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. The Shaybah oil and gas field in Saudi Arabia, İncirlik Air Base in Türkiye, and Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar were all imaged on March 26th.

There are no Ukrainian facilities on this list. But who is helping whom when sanctions are lifted from an aggressor that earns daily revenue and provides intelligence for strikes against American, Middle Eastern, UK, and U.S.–UK bases and so on?

When surveillance is carried out over facilities in Ukraine, we always understand that they must be protected, since plans are in motion to destroy them – energy and water infrastructure, military facilities, and so on. Everyone knows that repeated reconnaissance indicates preparations for strikes. How can sanctions be eased if this is what the Russians are doing?

There must be pressure on the aggressor. And lifting sanctions is certainly not pressure. It looks strange. Sanctions are being lifted, while the aggressor is providing intelligence to strike facilities, including those of the countries that are discussing or have already lifted sanctions.

From my conversation with journalists (3/3).

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Report by Chief of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine Oleh Ivashchenko.

First, we have irrefutable evidence that the Russians continue to provide intelligence to the Iranian regime. Russia is using its own signals intelligence and electronic intelligence capabilities, as well as part of the data obtained through cooperation with partners in the Middle East.

Second, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine regularly provides assessments of the situation on the frontline, as well as internal Russian information regarding activity on the battlefield. The Russian command constantly seeks to exaggerate the achievements of Russian forces on the frontline and subsequently use such inflated data from the headquarters of the Russian occupation contingent grouping in the negotiation process.

Third, we have clear information that Russia is planning further deployment of ground-based control stations for long-range UAVs in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, as well as four stations in Belarus. We will respond accordingly. I have instructed Oleh Ivashchenko to inform partners and media representatives about the data that we can make public.

The US is not sharing the burden with the rest of NATO regarding support for Ukraine. Trump cut to zero our direct military and economic assistance. Zero. (Selling weapons to NATO to make money is not “help.”)

After President Trump claimed to reporters twice today that he had recently spoken to a former president who praised his actions in Iran, saying: “I wish I did what you did.” Aides to all four living presidents, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, have issued statements to CNN, saying there is no record of any communications between them and President Trump.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

We received a request from the United States for specific support in protection against "shaheds" in the Middle East region. I gave instructions to provide the necessary means and ensure the presence of Ukrainian specialists who can guarantee the required security. Ukraine helps partners who help ensure our security and protect the lives of our people. Glory to Ukraine!

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

The U.S. Government and Pentagon under Pete Hegseth has now effectively blacklisted Anthropic, as well as it’s language model Claude AI, which is currently being used as a backbone by several defense systems, while listing the company as a “supply chain risk,” a label not even placed on a majority of defense contractors or companies working for the Armed Forces of China and Russia. All because Anthropic refused to remove safeguards that would allow the Pentagon to develop weapons that fire without human involvement and commit mass domestic surveillance directed at Americans.

NEW -- Last night Donald Trump announced a $1,000 match for lower-income workers' retirement accounts.

He forgot to mention that it was created under a proposal signed into law by Joe Biden. It is already going into effect in January.

On January 23, Crypto,com quietly transferred over $5M to one of Donald Trump’s largest super PACs, MAGA Inc.

During this time, Crypto,com was involved in a massive lawsuit, and found in violation of Nevada state law for offering prediction markets on sporting events. The company was sued and lost, resulting in a state ban.

On February 17th, less than a month after their donation, Trump’s CFTC filed an amicus brief and is now fully backing Crypto,com’s appeal, in which they’re now expected to win.

The Trump administration runs a corrupt pay-to-win scheme for business elites. You donate to them, and they’ll do secret backdoor favors for you.

Who remembers how billionaire crypto fraudster CZ was magically pardoned right after investing billions into Trump’s crypto token? Surely just a coincidence.

🚨🇺🇸 LUTNICK SWINDLES AMERICA AGAIN!!

The Supreme Court just ruled Trump's tariffs illegal. Guess who's about to make a fortune off it?
Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm now run by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's sons, has been buying up the rights to tariff refunds from U.S. importers at pennies on the dollar.

Here's how the scheme works:
→ U.S. companies paid billions in tariffs that are now ruled illegal
→ Cantor approaches those companies and says: "I'll give you 25 cents now for every dollar you're owed in refunds"
→ Companies take the quick cash rather than wait years for the legal process
→ When the refunds come through, Cantor collects the full dollar

Lutnick "divested" from Cantor by handing it to his twenty-something sons and placing his equity in a trust for those same sons. He paid zero capital gains tax on the transfer.

As Commerce Secretary, Lutnick has direct visibility into the government's legal strategy, how their lawyers rate their odds, and what arguments they'll make. His family's firm is betting against the very tariffs his boss created.

They bought at 25 cents on the dollar, and after today's SCOTUS ruling, those rights could be worth 80–90 cents.

The potential payout could be in the billions. This is insider trading with extra steps.
