Judging by how phony ChatGPT's suggestions sound, I suspect that during model training there was an overreliance on texts produced by consultancy firms. Lots of empty words à la management speak. The good thing is that this could make such cringy language irrelevant. #AI_blues

You've seen the live performance. You've seen the slides. And maybe you've even seen the leaked rough cut that circulated online. So here it is at last: "Anonymity and Identity Online (Taylor's Version)" florianederer.github.io/ejmr.pdf

How have Kurdish movements reacted to the war in Gaza, and what do their responses show about the state of regional politics and conflicts? Matthew Petti explains in this analysis. kurdishpeace.org/research/confl…

If it is economic anxiety what drove all these voters towards PVV, then why didn't the far left SP perform as well, even though they have traditionally owned these same issues? theguardian.com/world/2023/dec…

I wonder if such infiltration is uniformly distributed along the political spectrum or if this is becoming increasingly prevalent on the far right? 👇 Chinese spies recruited European politician in operation to divide west ft.com/content/601df4… via Financial Times

An instance of polarization as a form of hybrid warfare? Both China and Russia seem to have cozy bonds with the extreme right in Europe, as they all share many interests, e.g. weakening the EU. Follow the trending #chinezen to see some examples from Belgium.

Let me correct this for you: Turkey, which is well known to have enabled and empowered ISIS in Syria, is seen here committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructures

#Turkey-backed jihadists occupying #Afrin, #Rojava, W. #Kurdistan, continue mass uprooting the region's #olive trees some 100+ years old for sale in Turkey. Has there been any other #colonialism in history which has uprooted even the trees of its colonies?

A quick back of the envelop calculation: Since US elections results, the value of Musk's shares in $tsla has increased by $7.2 billion. Considering that he donated/invested $75 million to/in Trump's campaign, his ROI is nearing 100000% so far. Not so bad!

Someone should've told Zelensky not to speak English. His lack of proficiency hurt his position, played into U.S. media stereotypes of Slavic accents, and fed Trump's "they're ungrateful" narrative. An interpreter might've slowed things down and prevented escalation

Since Trump's inauguration, the NASDAQ100 is down by nearly 10% (and 13% down from peak). Over the same period, the Russian equivalent index, MOEX is up by 8%. How much wealth transfer does this imply? In Dec 2024, NSDQ100 was nearly $26 trillion in value. USAID for oligarchs!

Yes, I should be doing something else than tweet today. 😟But there are so many important things to say that I cannot resist. Tentative advice to the European Union: Take your time to respond. Let cool heads prevail. If you think that Trump will not back down (likely in

The second thing we see is that Asian manufacturing in Asia produces US jobs. You go to Footlocker to buy a pair of $100 shoes because you can afford them. This creates jobs for the Footlocker employees, Nike designers, marketing teams, and other US people throughout this chain.
