Hello there, thank you for reading.
You've found the start of my daily thread on Ukraine and the war Russia decided to start to end the independence of a beautiful country once and for all.
Each & every day I'm here, and we've reached Day 1478.
De Telegraaf, the Netherlands’ largest newspaper, recently published an interview with a woman promoting €1,600 seats on private evacuation flights from Dubai. Bellingcat found that her image was likely AI-generated, and flight data suggests no such plane took off. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

Oh nothing to see here, just an AI agent that went rouge, escaped it's sandbox and started mining cryptocurrency on it's own.... not at all in line with my theories on AGI at all, not in the least bit....

“Overall, the study participants who saw the biased AI text shifted their positions toward those espoused by the AI.”

Day 1477 of Russia's all out war, and here's THE daily 🧵
It's an important anniversary for Donald "I'll solve this war in one day" Trump.
It's 1 year ago today since he demanded both sides agree an unconditional ceasefire or "serious consequences"
Russia still refuses!
Once again proof that attention is all that matters

Let's be clear about what the "SAVE Act" is all about, another phase of the "rigged election" strategy. Trump is exploiting the voter fraud myth he created to pass laws and enact policies that will make it harder to vote, suppress votes, cause confusion, & sow distrust democracy. Rinse. Repeat.
Under 2025 ökade antalet aktiviteter i den rasideologiska miljön. Samtidigt tappar traditionella organisationer i kraft medan nya, mer löst organiserade grupper växer fram och lockar en ny generation unga. Det visar Stiftelsen Expos årsrapport om den svenska rasideologiska miljön.
Once confined to neo-Nazi circles, “remigration” has moved into mainstream political discourse. This timeline shows how a neo-Nazi concept moved through Identitarian networks, and far-right parties, before appearing in U.S. federal policy, with serious human rights consequences.
I don’t think people who aren’t regularly covering the reproductive rights beat realize how common it is for women to be incarcerated for miscarriages.
Worse, there could end up being a feedback effect, where new models train on data that is increasingly the product of off-the-rails old models and they collapse. The whole LLM concept only "works" when it has the blood of recently killed unicorns to drink.
"Over time, today’s polluted inputs will change tomorrow’s models, causing them to overweight bad science and present politicized claims as evidence. In policy environments where time is scarce and AI is increasingly present, that is going to matter."
"government-affiliated or institutionally branded content receives particularly strong weighting during the training process. Historically, this has been a good thing, but as the U.S.’ once-vaunted science institutions fall to political capture it becomes a consequential vulnerability"
"a growing pipeline of politically manipulated research is beginning to shape the outputs of AI tools that we are increasingly becoming reliant on"
Brilliant explanation. Watch it.

This Day in Labor History: March 10, 1925. The New York Times first reported the story of the so-called Radium Girls, as U.S. Radium Company employee Marguerite Carlough had sued her employer for $75,000 for the horrific health problems caused by her work with radium that would soon kill her!!!!

Just embarrassing shit. These fundie Christian clowns want people ignorant, illiterate & unquestioningly subservient to authority figures.
Christian theocrats are poison to a free society.
Good morning on Day 1476 of Russia's 3-day special operation to take Kyiv. In fairness, I did hear that one of Putin's slaves did TAKE some Chicken Kyivs from the bunker freezer on Day 23 😝
Here's another daily🧵- All the news, every single day.

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.
The President of the USA is now openly threatening Iran with being the target of one of the greatest crimes in world history. Trump is saying he will destroy the basis of life for more than 90 million people.
He should be removed from office for this.
With Trump openly threatening to commit war crimes on a historic scale, I am making this piece I wrote last November free. It hypothesizes that the future of war will be a combination of ranged fires and war crimes. It has come faster than expected. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
I notice that over on the bad site that the people who promised us a "better deal" with Iran are now proposing special forces raids to fight their way in and secure Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium.
