Super decoding from @jburnmurdoch.ft.com & @sarahoconnorft.ft.com of That Chart. Sarah sees it as a Rorschach test for how people feel about AI. John says the real value is from Anthropic estimating actual AI usage across tasks, and says we should reason from actual data

Drones present a different threat to Silkworm knock-offs and speed boats but presumably the USA is working up a modern Armilla Patrol where its warships act as flyswats and buffers to Iranian weaponery? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armilla...
Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
Do watch. Hilarious if it were not so painful and damaging.
No lie, I really did think this was an Onion headline, but no. @bencollins.bsky.social, I'm so sorry your staff's job is this hard now.
Secretary Rubio, the President will see you now. Go right in.

You won’t find a sharper analysis anywhere of how Iranian leaders will be thinking about their interests and options at this stage of the war, and of how/when it is likely to end. Simon Gass really knows what he’s talking about. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

AI bots are taking Oxford University websites offline by attempting to scrape scholarly databases. Bodley's Librarian, Richard Ovenden, said: “It's the result of massive bot activity, downloading data at a scale which our infrastructure has found challenging.” status.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/detailed/
The truth is these are not very bright guys and things got outta hand.
Badenoch's snide remark about Lib Dems being the kinds of people who fix the local church roof was very revealing about her party, which used to consist of people who fixed church roofs
Meta's Australian fact-checking operations - which successfully flagged Bondi terror attack lies - are on the chopping block, following Donald Trump's America.

from the makers of "I am an infectious disease expert" and "wait now I am an expert in land warfare," now enjoy "extreme knower of middle east geopolitics and ballistic missile defense"
I disagree with this. they are taking shots at many things, including sensors, but I don't think it's a concerted plan, and there has not been much of an operational impact -- maybe iran doesn't know that, but patriot radars can cue thaad batteries, and will if the thaad radar is dinged

The Conservative party logo is a tree.
BREAKING: Unite the union has voted to cut Labour affiliation by 40% - £580,000 - on the anniversary of the Birmingham bin strike.

Pediatricians across the U.S. are contending with a sharp rise in vaccine hesitancy. They are trying to do what is best for children’s health while staying sensitive and supportive, even as they bear the brunt of parents’ mistrust and confusion.
Putting pictures of animals on our currency would be "deeply depressing," say the Conservatives.
The scene: a tiny office somewhere in Whitehall; several grey suited government officials in a state of some stress.
‘How can we possibly distract everyone from the release of the Mandelson papers?’
A hand is raised…
‘What about badgers on banknotes?’
superficially this first tranche is less revealing than the normal 20 year rule stuff that comes out, not least as there is no hand written marginalia by the PM nor others.
A tax barrister sued me personally for £8m for libel after we linked him to a tax avoidance scheme.
Today the High Court struck out the claim, granted summary judgment, and ruled it was a SLAPP. The judgment is highly critical.
When I said 'Kemi Badenoch is so partisan, under her the Tories would oppose puppies and kittens if Labour said something nice about them', I didn't mean it literally.
