A CNN report published on 18 September, which hasn’t been verified by other major outlets, describes how the US “almost started a war” with China, based on a...

  Elon Musk and Peter Thiel: The billionaires fomenting a global race war For the ideologues of the billionaire class, the favoured strategy to hold on to power is to rile the masses into genocidal hate, to whip up fear, anything to stop them from joining the dots and turning on the billionaires who are expropriating our present and future and profiting from permanent war. It is a time of nightmares. We must wake up. Nothing revolutionary in this article, but I appreciate the common thread...

  The end times fascists are plotting their escape from our world. Our mission is clear And among tech oligarchs, Bezos is all too typical. Peter Thiel, for one, once revealed that his three best ideas for achieving true freedom are “cyberspace”, “outerspace” and “seasteading” (the idea of building new countries on floating oil rigs). In other words, this man, whose enormous wealth affords him access to the most spectacular settings our planet has to offer, actually believes these three cold, dea...

  AI Is Making Us Dumber. Can We Design it Not To? Law schools are already wrestling with the tradeoff. The University of Chicago is creating AI-free spaces in required first-year classes and exams while introducing AI into legal writing and advanced courses. Stanford students analyze legal problems independently, then critique AI-generated answers. These schools are separating the work that establishes a cognitive foundation from the work where AI can extend it. This issue often manifests as...
