Everyone’s saying OpenAI got the “same deal” Anthropic was banned for.
Read the fine print. They’re not the same:
On weapons:
Anthropic asked for “no fully autonomous weapons without human oversight” = a human involved in the decision.
OpenAI’s deal says “human responsibility for the use of force” = someone accountable, which can happen after the fact.
Oversight ≠ Responsibility. One requires a human before the trigger. The other requires a name on the paperwork after.
On surveillance:
Dario said explicitly: current law hasn’t caught up with AI. The government can already buy your movement data, browsing history, etc without a warrant. AI can assemble that into a complete picture of your life, at scale. That’s mass surveillance without breaking a single law.
Anthropic wanted protections beyond current law.
OpenAI’s deal says the Pentagon “reflects them in law and policy.” That’s existing law as the safeguard, the exact law Anthropic said is insufficient.
Same words. Different agreements. Read them carefully
I got chills when reading this article.
I've never been more bullish on AI. And I've never been more terrified of what that means.
It's written from the POV of June 2028.
But it's long, so I summarised it for you:
• AI gets good. Companies lay off workers. Margins expand. Stocks rip. S&P hits 8,000. Everyone celebrates.
• But fired workers stop spending. Companies weaken. They buy more AI to cut costs. More layoffs. Less spending. A negative feedback loop with no natural brake.
• The top 10% of earners drive 50%+ of all consumer spending. They're the ones getting replaced. A $180K product manager ends up driving Uber for $45K. Multiply that across every major city.
• Ghost GDP emerges - the economy is "growing" on paper, but the money never reaches real people. Productivity is booming. Wages are collapsing.
• Then it hits housing. $13 trillion in mortgages, all underwritten on one assumption: you keep your job for 30 years. In 2008, the loans were bad on day one. In 2028, the loans were good. The world just changed after they were written.
• S&P crashes 38% from highs. Unemployment hits 10.2%. Markets barely react anymore.
• The punchline: you're not reading this in 2028. You're reading it in February 2026. Every domino they describe has already started falling.
The canary is still alive. Barely.
Klopp absolutely fried Slot here without even meaning to. Slot ticks all the boxes on the ‘Don’t do this’ side.
This is the gap in quality. This is the gap in understanding.
But our fans would rather cope calling Slot’s lack of understanding of athletes as ‘ruthlessness’.
A big mess. 🔎
The big problem Slot has right now is if he goes zonal in midfield then he doesn’t have the collective defensive nous to shift as a unit which breaks the system and turns out too passive because Liverpool don’t have the speed of thought [time to engage/cover] which outweighs the speed of movement.
But when he goes to M2M in midfield with no pressure from the first line, Liverpool don’t have the recovery speed after being bypassed because against fluid players [Wilson/Jimenez] communication is key. Konate [had a decent game tbf] is too passive and is too late the moment the striker shows to feet. Gravenberch vacates the zone and then doesn’t have the pace to recover [not many would from that position] but further up Liverpool don’t have the ability to defend front-foot and recover situations.
So what do the best teams do? The core principle from a hybrid press is you defend space by default but engage M2M by triggers but Liverpool don’t have the intelligence to screen passes into the half spaces [Diaz and a few others were brilliant at it] and they also don’t have the intensity from the front to give them the aggressive jumps bar Szoboszlai who currently finds himself on the RW with Wirtz pressing from the 10 [compare that to Diaz & Szobo from last seasons] — elite screeners and jumpers.
Slot will argue that’s a personnel issue and to an extent, it is, but it’s also down to his broken pressing chains. There are so many occasions, some players are pressing the ball, but others are holding and vice versa, all resulting in easy progression. No defensive line should ever press alone!! His OOP problems have been an issue since I first pointed out his passive 4-2-4 last season but it was masked by a few players like I mentioned above. Slot has totally misread the league. His obsession in how to breakdown a low block made him lose sight of how to get to the halfway line in the first place and control teams from there. Going to a different formation was fine but the biggest mistake he made was thinking Salah was the problem. Instead of making tweaks to the ‘Salah trade-off’, he dropped his main creative outlet and decided to pack the midfield where we saw Gomez playing RW at Anfield against Sunderland.
He went too far with the change in the brand of football especially against the types of sides we’ve come up against in the last month. If you’re going to sit off this much then you must possess the attacking transition quality and have the luxury of getting a goal via 3 passes [God, I miss those days]. Furthermore, in settled play we’re starved of 1v1 quality outwide to penetrate 5 man defences. Last season when things weren’t going right, he could rely on ‘Kloppism’ to get him out of trouble, now he simply doesn’t have the players and his structure doesn’t allow him to even try.
This team is undercooked, but Slot’s mentality and coaching is making things a lot worse. #LFC
‼️ If standards matter, Liverpool cannot pretend much longer
So Manchester United have sacked Ruben Amorim this morning and Chelsea have already torn up their latest plan, both clubs reacting to performances and results they judged unworthy of their status. Chaos, yes, but also conviction. They have decided that what they are watching is not good enough and acted accordingly.
I believe Liverpool should already have done the same with Arne Slot, and I know many do not agree, even now. That disagreement does not change the standard Liverpool set for themselves last season. They were champions. Not hopefuls, not rebuilders, champions. That matters.
There is a lazy comfort in pointing at Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge and telling ourselves that Liverpool are nothing like them. It misses the point. Big clubs do not measure themselves against disorder elsewhere. They measure themselves against what they know they can be. Liverpool proved what they can be only months ago.
Slot did not inherit a broken side or a fractured dressing room. He inherited momentum, authority and belief. This season’s output has drained all three. The football has dulled, the edge has softened, and too often the explanation arrives quicker than the solution. At Liverpool, that has never been enough.
United and Chelsea look chaotic, but their actions reveal something Liverpool once understood instinctively. Titles raise expectations, they do not buy time. When performances slip, sentiment becomes a luxury.
This is not about copying rivals or embracing their instability. It is about refusing to let lowered expectations creep in unnoticed. Liverpool did not win the league last season to become patient observers of decline.
If others choose to tolerate the present, that is their right. Liverpool’s history suggests they should know better.
I’ve lived through some absolutely piss poor teams, endured some piss poor managers, and watched us throw money at genuinely piss poor players. And most of the time, I never expected much. Hope, yes. Miracles, no.
But this season is different. This is easily the most disappointing I can remember.
We are supposed to be Premier League champions. We have spent £400m. And for that, we are served up the most boring, lifeless brand of football I have ever had the misfortune of sitting through. No intensity. No swagger. No fear factor. Just sideways passing and players who look scared to take responsibility.
To be 15 points off the top when we are only halfway through the season is not just poor, it is embarrassing. There are no excuses at this level. Not with that budget. Not with that squad. Not with those expectations.
Slot has sucked the life out of this team. Whatever philosophy he is trying to implement has stripped away everything that made us dangerous. We look coached to death, cautious, predictable, and miles away from a side that once overwhelmed teams. If this is control, it is control without threat, and it is painful to watch.
And Hughes deserves just as much scrutiny. Spending that amount of money and ending up with a squad that looks unbalanced, slow, and devoid of personality is unacceptable. Recruitment was meant to push us forward, not leave us standing still while everyone else flies past.
What makes it worse is the complete lack of identity and accountability. You cannot tell what we are trying to be, and nobody seems to be held responsible when it goes wrong. That hurts more than any single defeat.
This is not a rebuild. It is a regression. And watching it unfold week after week is honestly grim. Disgusting, even.
