When I wrote my book The Tech Coup, quite a few people remarked that the word ‘coup’ might be an overstatement. Today it sadly seems like an understatement ↘️ https://t.co/Y9tOuYe0PF
Canada is going to Eurovision 2027.
If you have what it takes to represent Canada at the most gloriously over-the-top celebration of music on earth, apply now:

The deepfake epidemic in schools is affecting more than students. Four teachers tell WIRED about becoming targets of sexualized, AI-generated content—and how difficult it was to find accountability. https://t.co/tHxu5CyGQL
Ahead of an European Council meeting scheduled for this fall, @MarietjeSchaake calls on leaders to prioritize trust and safety in AI sovereignty and take a more proactive role in formulating strategies and policies to govern the technology. https://t.co/G5DXGyHEXK
SCOOP: Trump’s Board of Peace plans to grant itself sweeping immunity to shield its members, security forces and contractors from potential prosecution for work in Gaza

Mythos is telling us there is the obvious — there no Special Relationship for tech. The UK will not be treated as “American.”
What I’m worried about now is this coupled with the inevitable European export controls and Buy European regulations. Without a much deeper game changing Special Relationship with Europe — the UK will not be treated as “European.”
What this means for the future of London as a global AI hub is nothing good. American and European frontier restrictions and British firms cut out of European critical AI infrastructure projects.
This is the logical consequences of being outside a major regulatory bloc in an age of great power competition.
Carney: The new world order will be built from Europe. Canada is the most European of non-European countries, and we are transforming our cooperation with the EU ... In a more dangerous and divided world, Canada has chosen to build and work in partnership with Europe.
As evidenced by the unbridled promotion and implementation of technology at the expense of human dignity, we are truly experiencing an eclipse of the sense of what it means to be human. It is imperative to recover an understanding of the true meaning and grandeur of humanity as intended by God. It is in this sense that the challenge we currently face is not technological, but anthropological, and it is my hope that the Encyclical Letter to be published within a few days will contribute to answering this challenge.
This is incredible. Artificial intelligence getting booed out of the stadium in any commencement speech it’s mentioned. Maybe telling college students AI was taking their jobs wasn’t the best strategy. Must watch —>
.@MarietjeSchaake, no @FT: "Trump administration’s anticensorship campaign against Europe is a powerplay with a free speech facade. It is geopolitics defended by First Amendment rhetoric" https://t.co/rfMN5YkW40
