“AI giant Anthropic ran a massive program called Project Panama where they spent tens of millions of dollars to hoover up used books, which they then sliced, scanned, and pulped.”
Anthropic didn’t want us to know that they were destroying millions of books to feed their software.

I think my favorite part of this discourse was reading xeiaso.net/notes/2026/t... and there being literally zero mention of bots on social media or Cambridge Analytica
how fucking special do you really think you are, code monkey

An AI agent submitted a PR to matplotlib, got rejected, and then wrote a callout blogpost attacking the maintainer. I have no idea how to feel about this.

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.

In the last week we've learned Trump's AG Bill Barr was in the Epstein files before he went to visit him in prison, Trump's FBI pulled hard drives from Epstein's cameras the night he "died" and destroyed that evidence, and they used a "decoy body" to misdirect the press.
