🇺🇸🇷🇺🇪🇺🇺🇦 All sides are simply trying to politically outlive Trump.

Even though some European armies are slowly starting to wake up to this issue, most still don’t grasp how vital unmanned systems have become.

As I’ve said before, in order to build a mass deportation operation to root out 4% of the population you must first build a police state.
Four years ago I read Chandran Kukathas' argument that immigration control ultimately relies on the surveillance and coercion of *citizens*. Soon after I read Joseph Heath's very minimal argument that in principle there ought to be a ceiling on immigration. I wanted to put the two in conversation

Donald Trump’s government hasn’t been shy about embracing generative AI. The government is now acting against its own people, and AI is helping it to do so - already using AI as a surveillance tool within the government itself.

Generative AI is a powerful tool, but it is a tool that can be used for good or ill. Currently, the US government wields that tool.

⚠️ Caution! Sensitive information below. But I am convinced it needs to be shared - this is what Russia does to Ukrainians. Russia openly defies laws, conventions and basic humanity principles.

Do not call this a tragedy.
An earthquake, a fire, accidental deaths are tragic.

This is murder. This is Terrorism.
This is Sumy on Palm Sunday.
This is Russia. There is no peace with Russia.

SUMY - the numbers climb again.

Murdered: 32 (two children)
Wounded: 84 (ten children)

Bodies have been removed but bloodstains remain.
We can also see the pain etched on to faces of even Ukraine's hardened emergency workers.
