If you’ve not read enough this weekend on an AI bubble, here is our take.
Much of the AI investment isn’t made for AI as it exists now, or even this at its full potential. It’s for a sci fi dream of AI.
When dreams meet reality something breaks.

What an unsurprising decision by corporations that desperately need to make money with AI. If every other company with a chatbot isn't already doing this, then expect them to be following Meta's lead soon. The chatbot is not your friend; it's a corporate listening device. www.ft.com/content/22f7...

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.
Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.
This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

Curating your own set of news sources through an RSS reader is the best way to do it. Highly recommend checking out Molly’s guide and making your own. I use Inoreader for mine.
Newsletter: In a media landscape dominated by algorithmic feeds that aim to manipulate and extract, sometimes the most radical thing you can do is choose to read what you want, when you want, without anyone watching over your shoulder.

Let's be clear: what is happening in Los Angeles started because ICE launched a series of immigration raids.
Then, when people protested against the raids, Donald Trump sent in the National Guard.
It's not about "lawlessness", it's about state repression.

Reform aren't replacing the Conservative party; Labour are. This is 2010 all over again but with a red tie. Disgraceful. People are voting Reform because they want things to change, Labour are doing everything they possibly can to keep things the same.
