an important element in US vs Canada on this now out-and-out trade war is that Carney is confident his country is willing to bear the cost of resisting US demands. US public isn't willing to bear any costs. thepolycrisis.org/canadas-new-...

What I wouldn’t give for a water sample of the reflecting pool right now. #environmentalDNA

I was just checking on the meaning of this German phrase, but AI overviews thought I was saying "see ya!" and responded in kind. I actually like this kind of diffuse, free-floating personification ...

I think I figured out exactly how the “AI used a bottle of water per prompt” miscalculation happened - Andy Masley blog.andymasley.com/p/i-might-have… #AI #DataCenters #water

When I woke up this morning I didn't think I'd be spending a bunch of time today getting familiar with Catholic theology, but here we are. Notes on Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on AI. https://simonwillison.net/2026/May/25/encyclical-on-ai/

This "Unethical Guide to Surviving AI Layoffs" by Mo Bitar perfectly captures the current moment www.tiktok.com/@atmoio/vide...

We've shipped more than a thousand versions of Zed, but all of them began with zero. Today, that changes. zed.dev/blog/zed-1-0

if you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars", "Star Trek", "Dr. Who", or "Transformers.”

I wrote about the most ambitious form of AI-assisted software development I've seen yet - Strong DM's "Software Factory" approach, where two of the guiding principles are "Code must not be written by humans" and "Code must not be reviewed by humans" simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/7/s...

Spending more time with Claude Code tonight and I do think one basic reality is that AI skeptics need to update their priors: Plenty of cause for concern, plenty of room to hit these companies for unethical behavior, resource demands, etc, but we are so, so far past the era of "stochastic parrots"

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Oldest has a question. 🧪 What type of scientists are responsible for making sure nature is happy and fixing it when it hurts? Conservation officer Environmental scientist Wildlife veterinarian Who else?

As great powers abandon rules and values for their own interests, middle powers like Canada have a choice: compete with each other for favour or act together with impact.

Get Good at Agents The tools are getting so powerful that we need to change how we scope, manage, and approach our work. A.k.a. not getting them to work is a skill issue. www.interconnects.ai/p/get-good-a...

So anyway, xAI's response to rampant use of Grok to generate CSAM and sexual abuse is to... monetize it

I think the Greenland threat is a troll. I think. But it would sure be nice for some senators and GOP house members to speak up now and make it clear that an attack on a nato ally would lead to removal from office

The author of a viral Reddit thread alleging fraud at a food delivery company tried to back up his claim by sending me AI-generated documents. Today I'm publishing those documents in the hopes that it helps other reporter see what we're up against in the age […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

My sense is that China is using this oldie but goodie @rockymountviews.bsky.social playbook to destroy global oil demand. With subsidized EV technology, China can help 50+ emerging markets destroy 3-4 million barrels per day of oil demand by 2030.

Finnish learn media literacy since pre-school to resist Russian disinfo My highly educated family needs to do it too: "students have been learning about fake news and disinformation for years, beginning with reading headlines and short texts... the fourth graders were tasked with coming up with […]

I'm not joking and this isn't funny. I have been trying to build distributed agent orchestrators at Google since last year. I was just starting to make progress with Claude Code when security asked me to leave because I “don’t work there” and “nobody knows who I am”

I suggest we call this “The Epstein Files War”.

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.

Uploaded my State of LLMs 2025 report for this year: magazine.sebastianraschka.com/p/state-of-l... I planned to just write a brief overview, but yeah, it was an eventful year so it was impossible to keep it below 7000 words :D.

Happy birthday to Anthony S. Fauci! He won a #LaskerAward in 2007 for his role as the principal architect of two major U.S. governmental programs — one aimed at #AIDS and the other at biodefense. 🧪 ow.ly/gYBZ30mlgJf #NIAIDNews

I've felt starved for cool science news in 2025. Here's a small morsel! 🧪 www.npr.org/2025/12/24/n...

Can confirm: Pulled 60 Minutes “Inside CECOT” segment on the El Salvador mega prison housing hundreds of Venezuelan deportees sent by the U.S. is on Global TV’s free app

BREAKING on MS NOW: Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

👀 BlackRock just lost another ~$6B mandate after backsliding on addressing climate risk to its clients’ portfolios. NYC pension trustees meet this week and could approve the @nyccomptroller.bsky.social recommendation to shift $42B for the same reason. 🍿

I am late to the game but I finally read the NeurIPS 2025 best paper on gating in LLMs, it is great. Qiu et al. Alibaba, U Edinburg, Stanford, MIT, Tsinghua U arxiv.org/abs/2505.06708 1/3

Can't believe a product called Nano Banana is what is going to take plucky underdog Google Gemini to finally beat the incumbent ChatGPT. Fast, precise image gen and editing is such a joy to use and surely mass market adoption is cranking. More warranted to call a Code Red for that than Gemini 3.

Everyone is wagging their fingers at Disney for not being as tight-fisted and defensive as they expected. The thing is, y’all, Disney suspects a new market is emerging. That’s also why newspapers and music publishers are making deals. Possibly they’re all wrong.

In 2025, much of the financial sector backtracked on climate action — but one major pillar stepped up: public pensions that manage trillions in workers’ savings. 🫰 Here’s our @sierraclub.org campaign year-end review of key developments & what’s next 👇 www.sierraclub.org/articles/202...
