Tu t'appelles Charlotte. 23 ans. Tu étudies à Sciences Po Paris. Tu milites à La France insoumise et tu vas à la techno-parade contre la vie chère ce weekend.

Ton père, Philippe, est ingénieur chez Total, à côté de Bizanos.

Il travaille depuis 36 ans dans l'énergie, a commencé foreur et dirige maintenant le projet "Exploration puits 2035" avant de partir à la retraite.

Philippe te fait un virement tous les mois pour financer ton 2 pièces à 1350€ dans le quartier latin et tes cours de pilates reformer.

Tu as un tote bag « taxez les riches », un iPhone 17 Pro et un abonnement à Mediapart.

Tu considères que les grandes entreprises sont "une catastrophe sociale et écologique". Tu as d'ailleurs écrit un mémoire de 42 pages sur les violences symboliques du capitalisme.

Philippe qui se lève à 6h depuis 1987, te paye tes études grâce ses à anciennes stocks-options chez Shell.

À Sciences Po, tu as enfin rencontré des jeunes qui partagent tes convictions. Leurs parents sont avocats, médecins, hauts fonctionnaires ou dirigeants.

Vous avez fondé un collectif de "house music" en résistance au néolibéralisme.

Vous vous réunissez chaque jeudi dans un café du 11e pour discuter de la lutte des classes autour d'une bouteille de vin naturel orange à 38€.

Tu n'as jamais travaillé dans une usine, mais tu connais parfaitement les conditions de vie du prolétariat grâce à tes stages à l'ONU et au PNUD trouvés par les contacts de ta mère Christine à L'Oréal.

Tu expliques à ton père que les grandes entreprises exploitent les travailleurs.

Il te propose de venir rencontrer les techniciens de son usine pendant les vacances. Tu peux pas car t'as anniversaire de Julie à Santorin.

À Noël, tu rentres au "pays".

Ton père vient te chercher à la gare de Dax avec sa nouvelle Tesla.

Pendant le trajet, tu lui expliques que les cadres supérieurs sont complètement déconnectés des réalités populaires et que Elon Musk est la lie de l'humanité.

Philippe sourit nerveusement.
De retour dans ta maisonnée de famille, Philippe demande si ta recherche de stage en cinéma militant avance en te proposant du foie gras et du serrano-manchego.

Tu lui dis que tu es vegan depuis cette année et qu'il est insensible à la cruauté animale.

Philippe se sert un verre de Jurançon, s'asseoit sur son fauteuil Roche Bobois et te demande si tu es pour la taxation de l'héritage à 100%.

7 BILLION DOLLAR crypto hack came from a homebrew install from someone tryna vibecode something 😭

@anamorfosis Ναι, πρωτοπόρησε σε αυτό η Uniqlo. Η εμπειρία του self checkout εκεί είναι πραγματικά frictionless.

@ChristosXanthak @vivian_e @GiorgosMelingon Το γεγονός ότι η ιστορία αυτή έχει ξεκινήσει εδώ και ένα μήνα και έχει οδηγήσει σε 4 πρωτοσέλιδα/αποκλειστικά άρθρα στην WSJ, δηλώνει ξεκάθαρα συντροφικά μαχαιρώματα. Επίσης, αυτό που ξεχείλισε το ποτήρι ήταν το γεγονός ότι δεν έκανε deliver. Θέλω να δω τον αντικαταστάτη.

Amazing detail in this @wsj article about Kimberly Guilfoyle, US ambassador to Greece: she told a Greek minister, in a conversation about the collapse of the Romanian government,“We can do that to any country we want. We can do that here."

JUST IN: Anthropic says they’re highly profitable if you take out some of their biggest expenses.

So much for private ChatGPT sessions being private and not being used to train the model…

[etale27 @etale27]

If I am reading this correctly, Tristan Buckmaster is alleging OAI has a resolution of Navier-Stokes(via Córdoba and Martínez-Zoroa’s program) which maybe used info from Buckmaster and Levent Alpöge’s private Codex sessions

What the fuck is happening!!!

[Michael Martens @Andric1961]

More than a decade ago, Alexis Tsipras – the (alleged) Greek resistance hero fighting the “austerity measures imposed by the creditors” – threw me out of an interview after less than 8 minutes (or 5 questions, to be precise). He had grown angry at my questions. One of those questions was why he was flirting with semi-fascist parties such as the Independent Greeks, led by his political friend Panos Kammenos. Tsipras was outraged. He defended his buddy by insisting that Kammenos’s party displayed “a differentiated democratic presence in Greece”. Duly noted.

Fast-forward to 2026: The "differentiated and democratic" Mr. Kammenos downplays the crimes of war criminal Ratko Mladić, one of the most heinous military figures Europe has seen since 1945, with these words:

“I bid farewell to my friend, General Mladić. He was an Orthodox patriot, never a ‘butcher.’ He left this world standing tall and proud; he did not kneel. They took revenge on him right up to the end.”

So much for the differentiated and democratic Mr. Kammenos – and for the partners Tsipras defended in order to satisfy his greed for power, which almost ruined Greece. (But fortunately only almost.)

Completely false.

I like Gavin's takes, but whoever he heard this from is lying so that it fits the narrative some people so desperately want you to believe.

The same people will try to convince you Anthropic has no moat, and a sentence later that it might become so powerful it could be the only company left.

In fact, one of the things we are _most_ worried about is economic concentration of power. There is no world where the government should let any company have that much influence. We need competition and capitalism. https://t.co/5lDtUfmop3

The AI market is literally the most competetive market in the world right now - every single one of the largest companies on earth is singularly focused on getting you smarter, cheaper models. If it all works out, we'll succeed in reducing the cost of everything to the cost of energy. This is awesome, but it threatens a lot of people's old moats. They are frightened.

For sure with AGI capitalism gets _super_ weird and what a company even is might look different. Good takes here: https://t.co/usey6IY2sf.

@levelsio @zmbnski Come on, any place in Southern Europe has AC, only people in the North are so strongly against it…

@anamorfosis Η αλήθεια είναι ότι τα πιο original κινέζικα εστιατόρια είναι στην περιοχή κάτω από Ψυρρή, όπου είναι και τα περισσότερα κινέζικα μαγαζιά. Δεν ξεχωρίζουν για την εικόνα, αλλά από φαΐ είναι σωστά.

@rosyna I think someone prepared some tzatziki

[Chris Vosnidis @vosnidis]

tldr; It is highly probable that the Homeric Ithaca is the Paliki peninsula on the island of Cephalonia rather than the island that we nowadays call Ithaca

@tbickle1976 Consistency trumps effort. Καλά, δε μιλάμε για περπάτημα βιτρίνας βέβαια. Χωρίς να το καταλάβω πάντως, και εγώ με αυτόν τον τρόπο σε 2 μήνες έχασα 4kg που δεν νόμιζα ότι μπορούσαν να χαθούν.

[Chris Vosnidis @vosnidis]

@gnievchenko Southern Europe has been coping with higher than average temperatures and heatwaves for the last 30 years. Back in the early 90s, ACs were not demonized, they were a luxury to be desired. Being forced to live in places with no ACs was a matter of necessity not an option

“People shouldn’t read too much into the language of the MOU,” one US official told me, describing the agreement as a “political document.”

“What’s more important than the actual document is the understandings we have with each other... We came up with language that allows (Iran) to say what they need to say for their domestic politics.”
