Make sure you update your browser and OS asap!
Why? Most of the big tech companies have had early access to 'Mythos', the most advanced AI model from Anthropic, which is good at finding software bugs.
A month later we are seeing huge numbers of software patches.
Soon this tech will be more widely available, and bad actors will be able to exploit it and potentially hack your system.

DeSantis opened it thinking Trump would reimburse the $600+ million of Florida Taxpayer money he spent on Alligator Alcatraz.

DeSantis forgot: Trump pays no one.

George Washington died in 1799.

The first dinosaur fossil was discovered in 1864.

George Washington never knew dinosaurs existed

I’m fascinated by how obsessed Trump is with his ballroom but still unsure why he wants it so bad. There is definitely an untold story there that goes beyond him just wanting a larger event space.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

This explanation of the 'greenhouse effect' in 1985 by Dr. Carl Sagan remains a landmark of science communication for its clarity and planetary perspective.

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

This war is costing a billion dollars a day. In one fucking month we will spend more over there than we needed to save healthcare for more than 2 million Americans. They literally are taking away your food and your healthcare for this regime change war of choice.

Neguse: Where is this company headquartered?

Noem: I don’t know.

Neguse: I don’t know either. We can’t find it. We did find an address that’s registered to a political operative. This company that received 143 million dollars was incorporated 8 days before this contract went out.

You want the American people to believe that this is all above board, that $143 million of taxpayer money just happened to go to this one company that doesn't have a headquarters, doesn't have a website, has never done work for the federal government before and is registered apparently or attached to a residence from a political operative, and of course one of the subcontractors of that contract, as you know, is a political firm that's tied to, to you back when you were governor of South Dakota?

[Ejaaz @cryptopunk7213]

it’s official - Anthropic just refused the Pentagon’s demands, dario’s statement is doesn’t fuck around:

- “these threats do not change our position: we cannot in good conscience accede to their request.” - dario

- he described the pentagons efforts to force him to enable claude for mass surveillance and autonomous killing weapons

- dario’s response: mass surveillance is not democratic and Claude isn’t good enough to enable autonomous weapons - we won’t cave

- dario will help governmenr transition to a NEW provider if they choose to blacklist anthropic.

fucking wild - fair play for sticking by their code of honor.

You have to completely economically illiterate to believe that there has been an $18 trillion influx of foreign investment.
(Which would have created 60% GDP growth and required filling 100 million new jobs out of the 7.5 million unemployed workers). 🤡

The genius of American foreign policy since 1941 was that it found a way to be *both* the single strongest state *and* the leader of the strongest coalition of states: power and legitimacy, together. That's the achievement Trump has jeopardized - and possibly permanently wrecked.
