New post from me about Trump's tariffs and why Harold Macmillan was right - we Brits are truly Greece to America's Rome - because our Brexit-era compulsion to think everything was 'simple' has a Trumpian heir. A short thread. 1/n

On the tariffs @strangeloopcanon.com over at the other place has pretty convincing evidence that the White House may have used LLMs to come up with its tariff model and that that evidence may have come from LLM scraping of a Peter Navarro book. We are in the dumbest AI timeline.

the "Our Blessed Homeland / Their Barbarous Wastes" meme, which depicts identical societies with different coloured flags, and labels describing features of "our" side as glorious, noble, etc, and "their" side as primitive, backward etc. i've edited it so the little boats approaching eachother are labelled "our world-changing technology" and "their dangerous copyright infringement"

Relevant to the debate on fact-checking amidst Meta's decision, Adam Szeidl and Ferenc Szucs tell a clear and terrifying story about the power of misinformation and propaganda, and its effects on democratic accountability.

Le décès de Claude #Allègre a provoqué un fait inédit : dans son communiqué nécrologique, le ministre de la recherche souligne que ses mensonges et falsifications sur les sciences du climat signifiaient une rupture avec la méthode scientifique. Je n'ai connaissance d'aucun précédent.

With 17 days to go until the US takeover by the new Trump (or Musk?) administration, I thought it might be worthwhile to share a number of recent papers published by our team that counter arguments that have been leveled against misinformation research. 1/n
