🔺Telegram founder Pavel Durov compares the lack of panic during the sinking of the Titanic with the current lack of awareness in Europe as citizens freedoms are stripped away: “I came here today to tell you-that we find ourselves in a similar predicament. In a similar situation. Our ship. Has already hit the iceberg. We have already started to sink. Without even realizing it. And I'm talking about the ship of our personal freedoms” Continuing giving examples of his personal experiences of fraud and corruption with Russia, the EU and France. Before moving onto Keir Starmer’s UK clampdown on social media: “Thousands of people are getting arrested every year in the United Kingdom for social media posts. You say somethingpolitically incorrect online, you may end up being fined or spend some time in prison in Germany”

The introduction of a mandatory Digital ID will explain itself as many things, at many times. At its core, it will require you provide identification – not just at ports of entry – but to access your way of life in your own nation. The Social Media Ban for under 16s, inherently requires over 16s provide identification to access large portions of the internet. Say NO to Digital ID.
We are banning social media access for under 16s. These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life. I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.
Community note
The UK Government's 'careful review' of the research found a small correlation between children's use of social media and wellbeing, but no evidence of a causal effect: gov.uk/government/pub… assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/696e0b46…

Not long ago, requiring adults to submit to facial age checks before accessing parts of the internet would have been dismissed as dystopian. Today, in the UK, it’s presented as a reasonable safeguard for children. #keirstalin

This is the first case of its kind in UK criminal justice history. A Derbyshire officer allegedly used AI to fabricate evidential material across multiple cases not one. The Crown Prosecution Service is now reviewing every conviction those cases touched. Three days ago, the UK government announced PoliceAI. £140 million. a national AI centre for policing. 40 new facial recognition vans. AI tools for every force in England and Wales by 2027. the official goal: "get responsible AI into the hands of officers." Three days later: criminal investigation into an officer for using AI to manufacture evidence. the interim director of PoliceAI put out a statement today. "our work is rooted in transparency." 97% of all criminal investigations in the UK now involve digital evidence. that's this year's figure. AI is already being used to summarise case files, triage evidence, and assist with disclosure. one officer already used it to manufacture evidence across multiple cases. nobody noticed until now.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

Read this open statement by Signal and your jaw will hit the floor. Govts always use “protecting children” as their guise for more control and censorship. I interviewed a prev Govt minister, who wrote the Online Safety Bill, and asked if they could tell me how a VPN worked. They couldn’t. These are the people writing these laws. This new tool is another dangerous form of silent oppression that once again uses children’s safety as a guise to control the masses. We can protect children online, but that starts at home, with parents, not in the Home Office, GCHQ, Apple, Google, Microsoft or Samsung.

Remember, folks. The problem isn't that imported foreigners are beheading your neighbour. It's that Elon bought a platform and people can now openly say this is destroying society.

The UK went from “we need to stop kids from watching porn” to actual dystopian mass surveillance in the span of two years Digital ID is the slipperiest slope of all time
BREAKING: The UK is drafting a law to scan every photo, video and message on every phone in the country. Tech CEOs who refuse to implement this could face up to 5 years in prison. The proposal would force companies to build device level scanners that inspect content before encryption. That means: • Every image scanned • Every message inspected • Every video analyzed All directly on your phone. Governments and companies pushing these safety” systems already have a terrible track record protecting user data. Last month, Europe’s new age verification app, promoted as a way to "keep children safe," was hacked in under 2 minutes. In another case, over 70,000 IDs and selfies linked to online verification systems were exposed in a major breach. Now the UK wants even deeper access directly inside your device. Once governments force surveillance tools into every phone, they can expand what gets monitored at any time.

Claude Fable 5 (Mythos) first impressions… seems more diligent than Opus but I’ve already ran into the guardrails a few times. Doing some security work it triggered a rule around “biological and or security” issues so booted the session back to Opus. It’ll be an

Impossible problem to solve; there’s no easily distinguishable difference between someone patching security issues and someone finding/exploiting them.

Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use. Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.

Javier Milei: “I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that it never worked anywhere, and they refused to accept it.” “But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, and unequal treatment under the law. They are very violent, and since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.”
