👁 Why AI is getting dumber at dizzying speed A growing body of research sheds new light on a widely observed trend: AI assistants don’t seem as sharp as before, and prompts tend to bring back dull, flatter responses. Studies show that when AI models train on content created by other AIs, they degrade over time. This phenomenon was described as “model collapse” in a paper by a team of researchers from Oxford and Cambridge. In simple terms, what is happening is a self-consuming loop. The internet is flooded with machine-generated text When companies scrape this data to train the next AI, the new model learns from content that has already lost much of its originality The core mechanism is that each generation trains on the output of the previous one, systematically erasing the least common data points from the original human source The result is a steady decline in diversity: The "tails of the distribution" — the rare, creative, and sometimes imperfect human elements that make language interesting — are the first to vanish What remains is an increasingly bland and narrow average A model can reach catastrophic collapse and produce complete nonsense within just nine generations Even preserving 10% of the original human data isn't enough to prevent this degradation – it only slows it down Hence, with each generation, the internet's unique "human" data is being diluted, as large language models “pollute the environment" with AI generated content - reshaping the core of online information. Funny how the one thing ChatGPT absolutely refuses to get dumber about is refusing to say anything bad about Israel. So who benefits from AI quietly lobotomizing itself?

⚡️ Iran's regional standing strengthened following support for Palestine and Lebanon Tucker Carlson, American media personality, referring to regional developments: Iran has uniquely stood by the people of Palestine and Lebanon, and this has strengthened Iran's position among public opinion in the region's countries.

🇵🇸 One of the most horrifying scenes ever captured has emerged. Footage reportedly shows thousands of starving Palestinians rushing toward an aid truck, moments before an Israeli airstrike hits the area, killing large numbers of civilians. A video the world will never forget.

⚡️Turkish President Erdogan: As Türkiye, we will continue to stand for peace and stability against those who invest in war and chaos. In Gaza, Lebanon, and other parts of our region, we will remain firmly committed to defending the shared values of humanity against genocidal networks that massacre children, women, and the elderly without distinction.

Cuba's military drills featured its only relatively modern air defense system, the S-125-2BM. It would stand little chance against a full US strike. Geography and the balance of forces remain overwhelming disadvantages. Cuba's S-125-2BM is a modernized version of the Soviet-era SA-3 air defense system, more capable and mobile than the original, but still limited against stealth aircraft and precision weapons.

Italy’s PM Giorgia Meloni wants to revive nuclear power after a 40-year ban, arguing it would boost energy security and lower reliance on imported electricity. Her government plans a legal framework this summer focused on small modular reactors (SMRs). But Italy remains deeply divided over nuclear energy because of the legacy of Chernobyl disaster and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, which led Italians to reject nuclear power in referendums in 1987 and 2011.

Channel 12: In recent days, the Israeli army has observed a change in Hezbollah's firing strategy, which is shifting to a war of attrition against the army's forces in southern Lebanon and deep inside Israel. Hezbollah's new method involves launching drones, suicide bombers, and smaller-sized missiles in each individual round. However, the frequency of launches has increased, and they are being carried out widely along the entire frontline. Military sources indicate that Hezbollah is capable of conducting more massive launches, but it chooses to distribute them to create a continuous series of alerts and attempt to exhaust the forces operating in the field.

Reuters: The Iranian war has cost global companies $25 billion so far, and the losses are still increasing. - At least 279 major international companies have resorted to preventive measures to mitigate the financial impact, such as raising product prices, reducing production, suspending profit distributions, halting stock repurchases, and laying off employees, or imposing additional fuel charges. - With the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and oil prices rising to more than $100, airlines were the most affected, with losses amounting to about $15 billion due to the doubling of aircraft fuel prices. Giant companies like Toyota expect losses of $4.3 billion. - The petrochemical, automotive, and consumer goods sectors have been severely affected. Experts warn that continued price increases could exacerbate global inflation and destroy the fragile consumer confidence worldwide

🇮🇷 🇩🇪 Iran’s FM spokesperson Baqaei on German Chancellor Merz's unfounded accusations against Iran: Mr. Friedrich Merz - The hypocrisy is plain to see. When the United States and the Israeli regime openly attack Iran’s safeguarded nuclear facilities, there is no condemnation—only excuses and justification. But the moment a false-flag operation occurs—one that even the UAE has refused to officially blame on Iran—the same voices suddenly begin preaching about “international law” and “regional security.” - If strikes on nuclear facilities truly threaten the people of the region, then that principle must apply to everyone—not only when it aligns with Western political convenience. - This selective approach to justice brings to mind Judge Adam in Heinrich von Kleist’s The Broken Jug: a man whose own unforgivable wrongdoing demands judgment, yet who still, with pompous self-righteousness, assumes the authority to sit in judgment over others

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷🇾🇪 — Iran is preparing for a short but intense conflict scenario, with expectations that dozens or even hundreds of missiles could be launched daily. Gulf states may need to prepare for possible strikes targeting energy infrastructure, refineries, and ports. Another scenario being discussed is the potential disruption of the Bab al-Mandab Strait by the Houthis, which could heavily impact regional shipping and energy routes. — The New York Times

🇮🇱✈️🇦🇪❗️ — A Bombardier Global 5000 business jet carrying the tail number N410AT flew from Tel Aviv to Abu Dhabi yesterday and is now returning to Israel. The aircraft was previously owned by Sam Bankman-Fried before later ending up in Israeli ownership. The same jet was also used earlier this year to transport Albania’s Prime Minister to Israel.
