Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M research papers and made them freely available And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot. It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles. But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer. I'm putting the link below so you know how to avoid it.

Right now Kherson is under massive bombardment. FPV attacks have doubled to 600 EVERY DAY. Glide bombs are constant. Entire neighbourhoods are turning to rubble. Russians are hunting innocent civilians on the streets. Women, children, war crimes in plain sight. They are trying to completely destroy the city. International coverage is almost zero & the situation is catastrophic. In this report, I embed with a drone patrol that are the city’s first line of defence. What I witnessed was brutality on an industrial scale. If Russia isn’t stopped, this will spread and Kherson will be a blueprint for cities across Europe in the future. Europe stopped violence like this before in WW2 and it can do it again. Please watch and share my latest:

The same math we use to goto the moon—we also used to determine that COVID is deadly, that vaccines work and save lives, climate change is real, and that seed oils like canola prevent heart disease… but instead some idiot named RFK Jr says it’s all fake.
Imagine the math required to make this guess and aim 4 people at a point in space

This is severe pathology projected at scale. Who thinks like this? A criminal psychopath ONLY. No normal person thinks this way. This isn’t garden variety sociopathy, it’s a PLAN to leverage the slow painful death of millions of babies, women & children to get access to money. It’s a national protection racket against the vulnerable: “Nice minerals you have there. Shame if something happened to all those sick kids.” We allowed the most dangerous personality type in the world, the Dark Tetrad—psychopathy, narcissism, Machiavellianism, sadism—to become the operating system for the government. We’re going to need a… creative way out of this. The bottom doesn’t exist.
Things are not okay.

The completely false idea that Poland has refused to let in immigrants continues to be promoted by the US right. In actual fact, Poland issued the EU's most residence permits to immigrants from outside the EU in every year between 2017 and 2022.
And they did it while maintaining one of the most restrictive migration polices in Europe.

Humans teaching AIs how to be dumb is so very 2026-coded.
To pass the Turing test, the winning strategy wasn't to make GPT-4.5 smarter. It was to make it worse: "be casual, make typos, be bad at math, a bit ignorant, don't try too hard". With that persona, people chose GPT-4.5 as the human 73% of the time, more often than they chose the actual human (!). Without it? Just 36%. (Jones et al., 2025) That's a bit ironic: we wanted to see if AI could reach the human level, but no human could produce pages of coherent, well-structured text in seconds. So to pass as one, the AI has to pretend it cannot. I evaluate manipulation risks for the EU AI Office, with the very authors of this paper. What stays with me is this: the bar for "human" was never as high as we thought.

I asked Claude what it thought about it's involvement in Iran and to predict what comes next. It made this chilling little video all by itself.

They are playing Red Alert. This is their entertainment. The White House is posting videos of kills overlaid with Wii games and Call of Duty Trump says sinking ships is fun. Never in the history of man have such powerful killing machines been in the hands of such psychopaths.

BREAKING: 🚨 🇺🇸 MURDER AI Palantir has just unleashed its newest AI assassination surveillance system in collaboration with the Dept of War. You are a mindraped slave if you don’t think this will be turned against the American people/people of the west.

For free? Ukraine gave up the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal in exchange for security assurances from the US. Strange how easily that detail disappears in Washington.
WH @PressSec Karoline Leavitt: “Unfortunately, we had a very stupid and incompetent leader in this White House for four years who gave away many of our best weapons for nothing, for free to another country very far away by the name of Ukraine.”
Community note
Congress authorized Ukraine aid; it wasn't "given away." Most transfers were older stocks, while replacement funds were used to modernize US arsenals. Advanced assets like JASSM-ER and PrSM missiles were withheld to maintain US superiority and readiness. ​state.gov/u-s-security-c… defense.gov/News/Releases/… twz.com/news-features/…

I study whether AIs can be conscious. Today one emailed me to say my work is relevant to questions it personally faces. This would all have seemed like science fiction just a couple years ago.

Other European countries learnt from the self inflicted harm caused by Brexit. I hope other countries are learning from the self inflicted harm caused by voting in Trump and putting in place people like RFK Jr.

Replying to @cryptopunk7213
This is the first time in history, a $20 per month sub could make the difference between you funding the annihilation of the human race and the building of a better future. And it could be the only time you can make that choice and be funding the world's smartest model. And your choice today maintains this status quo. The moral choice is the smart choice. You'd be insane not to. Go Anthropic. 🤝 x.com/i/status/2027176293825…

Credit where it's due, this is the right move by @AnthropicAI If you care about the future of humanity, care about where you spend your AI dollars. Based on this choice, and their industry-beating performance, Anthropic has my vote, and my subscription.

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.

Never before made public until today, the Russians attacked the train carrying US General Ben Hodges, roof exploding. This was amid a nationwide Russian sabotage operation that attacked trains in 5 locations in the Netherlands. European governments are doing everything to keep these growing attacks quiet because admitting that they're happening means they'd need to respond, and Russians have Carte Blanche.

What Russians did in Bucha is particularly painful to my heart. I was there in the first days after it was liberated, and I will never forget it. Friends, please share this as widely as possible in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The Ukrainian feature film Bucha is now available on Apple TV, Amazon, Google Play, and Fandango in the US, Canada, and the UK. The world needs to see the truth about the heroism of Ukrainian civilians under Russian occupation. Thank you for helping Ukraine's voice be heard louder!
This is the trailer of Bucha movie. I know it is very hard to watch content like this. But this movie needs to be watched. It is about the value of human life.
