Tomorrow’s AI models are learning from today’s polluted research The research ecosystems AI models train on are changing in ways policymakers aren't yet attuned to.

MAHA-aligned research is entering the training data of AI models that millions of people (and increasingly governments) rely on.

Team Trump says (and does) all the wrong things as Russia helps Iran during the U.S. war As Russia provides intelligence that could put Americans at risk, the White House responds by easing Russian oil sanctions.

Thousands protested yesterday at 70+ Citizens Bank branches in 13 states, from Virginia to Vermont.

Our message was clear: Stop financing notorious ICE prison companies CoreCivic and The GEO Group.

Which just proves how little time he has spent getting to know the Constitution. He doesn't need to sign legislation to make it law.

this is a terrific resource from @jordanz.bsky.social.

State leg races really fucking matter

We wouldn't be having 4/21 Virginia redistricting ballot measure if Ds didn't control the House and Senate - and when first passed last fall, House margin was 51-49. Senate 21-19

Where Have All the Long COVID Clinics Gone? A nationwide survey reveals the uncertain state of specialized care for Americans living with the chronic condition

In 2022, I counted more than 400 healthcare centers in the U.S. offering Long COVID care. @delfimarchese.bsky.social followed up three years later, and found many of them have closed... or at least failed to respond to our inquiries.

Grammarly turned me into an AI editor against my will and I hate it The company tells Platformer it will let experts opt out of the controversial feature β€” but how different is it than what every other AI company is doing?

Wait, what?! Grammarly made an AI persona of me and all these other journalists?!!!!!

Thank you @caseynewton.bsky.social for shaming them into at least offering a paltry optoutβ€” although obviously that is not enough.

A shocking number of people responding to this video clearly did not watch the video. David is extremely opposed to the Trump administration's terrorization of immigrant communities. He is describing serious problems with the current laws which make accountability difficult.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Fake AI Content About the Iran War Is All Over X X's Grok is failing to accurately verify video footage from the Iran conflict, and is sharing its own AI-generated images about the war.

The OpenAI/Crusoe post by "Michael Su" is more than likely fake, and I've reached out to OpenAI to confirm. Image comes up as deepfaked in a scanner (questionable reliability but it's a data point), his URL is "michaelsermon" on LinkedIn, can't find history for him at any company he worked at.

This Is How Much Anthropic and Cursor Spend On Amazon Web Services So, I originally planned for this to be on my premium newsletter, but decided it was better to publish on my free one so that you could all enjoy it. If you liked it, please consider subscribing to su...

This also means - per my reporting - that Anthropic spent $2.66bn (so three quarters of its LIFETIME compute) on AWS between Jan and Sep 2025. These costs came to me through AWS sources and I stand by them fully, as they are direct measured costs vs. investor deck slop.

If we assume that annualized revenue refers to four weeks of revenue multiplied by twelve, this would mean that Anthropic made $1.16 billion - or more than 23% of its LIFETIME REVENUE - in the period leading up to Feb 12 2026. That doesn’t seem likely.

Prasad also made collages of doctors wearing masks to shame them and spread doubt and mistrust.

That’s the professionalism and maturity he brought to the table.
