Just been listening to an evening of music by Prefab Sprout. Beginning to think that Paddy McAloon is perhaps Britains greatest song writer.

Wonderful 1950 letter in which J. Robert Oppenheimer very patiently explains to Eleanor Roosevelt that flying saucers do not exist--and tells a funny story about human fallibility, and how all the Los Alamos scientists tried to get the local Air Force base to shoot down a UFO.
![Letter from May 19, 1950. I'm just going to quote the relevant bits. "The papers [about UFOs sent by Roosevelt to Oppenheimer] all start with the assurance that there are such things. This, of course, I do not believe. ... There is not any credible evidence; and certainly the kind of explanation proposed [in the papers] does not lead one to believe in the phenomenon they are trying to explain. There is perhaps one thing one can learn. It is not just that men, and even their accounts of what they see and experience, are fallible and subject to error; it is that arriving at the truth can often be a more difficult and troublesome thing than we like to think. During the war, very shortly before the test of the first atomic bomb, people at Los Alamos were naturally in a state of some tension. I remember one morning when almost the whole project was out of doors staring at a bright object in the sky, through glasses, binoculars, and whatever else they could find; and nearby Kirtland Firled reported to us that they had no interceptors which had enabled them to come within range of the object. Our director of personnel was an astronomer and a man of some human wisdom; and he finally came to my office and asked whether we would stop trying to shoot down Venus..."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kjajzkyswsc32afso7ecrrgk/bafkreicwbu2yogig2ka7uzofwokin64n3h4mpxbmzocpovjmhel7kleg3u@jpeg)

DeepSeek database was just exposed.
DeepSeek allegedly trained on ChatGPT's knowledge base (which probably includes user inputs).
This is precisely why you don't put sensitive or proprietary info into chatbots.

If Viktor Orban really blocks European sanctions at a key moment for the war, it’ll be absolutely clear that in this big game for the security and future of Europe, he is playing in Putin’s team, not in ours. With all the consequences of this fact.

The Venn diagram of people who voted Brexit because ‘sovereignty’ and people who are now cheering on unelected billionaire Elon Musk’s interference in our politics is, I suspect, almost a perfect circle. Had a bit of an exasperated rant about this last night on @lbc.co.uk ….

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to Trump’s proposal to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico by pointing to a 17th century map of greater Mexico and suggesting a new name for the US.
“We are going to call it América Mexicana. It sounds pretty, no?”
Trump is a global laughingstock. 🤣
