Today is the 250th anniversary of Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations, one of the most important books ever. If you don’t have the stamina to read it all, we made a film about him a few years ago. My favourite part is when his metaphor of “the man of system” comes alive.

WOW! Biden's former Secretary of State Todd Blinken on how the Israelis tried to get Biden to initiate a war, but he refused: "The Israelis were insisting that in the North, Hezbollah, and from Lebanon, was about to attack, and they wanted to strike preemptively against

Initial reaction: the legal theories are not a surprise, but one thing worth flagging: Anthropic was designated under two different authorities: 10 U.S.C. § 3252 and 41 U.S.C. § 4713. The first is the DoD covered-systems designation; the second is the FASCSA designation. To

I signed this brief opposing the Supply Chain Risk designation against Anthropic, and supporting the importance of restrictions on domestic surveillance and autonomous weapon applications for current models. Very grateful for all the people who worked hard to make it happen.

Interesting that JD Vance has basically gone dark since the war in Iran started. No long, indignant Twitter essays whining about the media or whatever bullshit. You think you can hide from this disaster, JD? Your team briefed that your advice to Trump was to "go bigger" in Iran!

Willy Brandt, icon of postwar German history as mayor of Berlin, SPD leader, Chancellor, architect of West Germany's Ostpolitik, was a CIA asset after WWII. Here he seems to be translating a Swedish article on Nazi gatherings for the CIA in 1951, from the CIA archives

Ironically, Brandt himself was brought down by the Guillaume Affair, an espionage scandal in which one of his personal aides, Guenter Guillaume, was found to be an East German spy. Brandt resigned over the affair in 1974. Here they are in a picture that has since become iconic:
