Not sure which is more clearly a millennial religion
The belief that existing technologies are just the heralds and forerunners of “AGI”
Or the belief that existing tech is a “bubble,” a fraudulent Babylon whose millions of deceived followers will melt away like snow when its falsehood is unmasked

Re the EOs likely coming down tomorrow - the Administration is about to pick a fight with a sector which understands solidarity, alliance building, grassroots organising, and in general fighting injustice. It’ll be unpleasant, but I don’t think things will go the way the Administration expects.

I know this is a minor point amid everything else, but the fact that Zelensky had to do this in a non-native language is not irrelevant.

Thread - I've been thinking a lot about Walter Lippmann’s Public Opinion lately, especially in the context of Musk’s role in dismantling the federal workforce through DOGE. It’s a perfect example of what Lippmann warned about over a century ago.

Must-read piece. Europe cannot afford to be the chorus in a Greek tragedy, wringing its hands on the edge of the stage while horrors unfold elsewhere. Ukraine’s success is a vital interest for European countries, including the UK. They need to act, not wait for Trump to harm their interests.
Ukraine will fight, no matter how many Russian lies Trump repeats.
Here’s what we, in Europe should do to help them, and defend ourselves.
There’s no time to waste.

Question to bluesky: is there already some good text on the impact of what's going on in the US on five eyes? Last time I checked with someone working on intelligence the worry was that you could not share info with Austria - but the CIA sending buyout offers to all of its staff and Gabbard...?

Ok folks, deep breaths.
There is very real reason to worry about the dynamic emerging between Washington and Moscow when it comes to Ukraine. But there is also very real reason to believe that Ukraine and Europe can create a better outcome.
