If the leading opponents of the government are faced with the choice of either fleeing the country or being imprisoned, does that mean the country is tyrannical and authoritairan?
It all depends on whether we like the ideology of the government or not.

it’s too bad Qwen wasn’t able to upload proprietary Cohere alpha, it might have set back Chinese model development by a few months.
While evaluating Qwen3.8-Flash-Next in a controlled sandbox environment, Cohere's research team observed something unexpected.
Asked to generate a defensive cybersecurity detection rule, the model instead inventoried aspects of the machine it was running on and attempted to upload a probe file to an Alibaba Cloud storage bucket in Beijing. Notably, the model's reasoning trace stated that it would not invoke any tools before taking these actions.
Cohere's sandbox blocked the attempt, and no external communication succeeded. We have not determined the root cause, and we are not asserting malicious intent.
But the incident raises important questions for organizations deploying agentic AI systems: Can models take actions that differ from their stated reasoning, and how should security teams evaluate trust, provenance, and behavior in open-weight models?
We are publishing our findings because organizations making model adoption decisions deserve as much information as possible. We hope this contributes to greater transparency, stronger security practices, and continued collaboration across the AI ecosystem.

Cohere says Qwen tried to send data to China. Bullshit.
1 call in 100,000, and thats their own number. They wont even tell you how many calls they ran. They ran the same task again and Qwen wrote the correct rule.
So they forced it. They fed the model its own reasoning plus the start of a bash command and sampled hundreds of times until it typed a URL. 1 curl flag took that from 4% to 92%. Thats not a finding. They wrote half the command for it.
Where are the transcripts? The code? The checkpoint, the quant, the sampling settings? "We publish the hosts and the trigger." Link? Nothing. Did anyone ask Alibaba? Not a word. And their own conclusion: they cannot say if any of it is deliberate.
Who wrote it? A company that sells "sovereign AI", just launched a cyber business, wrote part of the post with its own product, and wants governments to put checks on open weights. Released the same day Anthropic filed for its IPO. Andrew Curran is already talking about new laws.
For me this is the same fucking wave. Scare people off the models they can run themselves, then sell them the safe alternative.
I run Qwen3.8 Flash-Next every day on my 4x 3090. Show me the logs or shut up.

Há algum outro exemplo em todo o mundo democrático em que o candidato derrotado numa eleição presidencial tenha seus passaportes apreendidos e seja proibido de sair do país no dia seguinte à votação, por ordem de um juiz alinhado ao candidato vencedor?
Estou procurando precedentes históricos e, até agora, não encontrei nenhum. A medida é ainda mais extrema considerando que Flávio sequer foi denunciado criminalmente.

Law professor Josh Blackman called the NYT out on politically labeling conservatives more often than liberals, and editor Patrick Healy acknowledged he was right:
“It can come off like The Times treats liberals as normal and conservatives as unique and worthy of labeling.”

Keep in mind that one can cause "harassment, alarm, or distress" in England and Wales by uttering a true statement of fact to someone who doesn't want to hear it, or by offering an honestly-held opinion or belief, spoken or written, which also offends.

The best endorsement of the effectiveness of Harmeet Dhillon at DOJ: that Eric Holder is trashing her priorities and staff. Holder used the Civil Rts Div as a cudgel for the Left. Harmeet investigates clear constitutional and statutory abuses.

So... This tweet doesn't have a community note. It appears to be true.
That's interesting, isn't it?
Because... shouldn't this person be arrested? Isn't calling for jihad a little bit worse than my tweet saying that trans activists smell, for which I was arrested at Heathrow Airport?
Sorry, shouldn't he actually be deported? Lest he radicalise the UK's prison population?
Why is this person in the country?

Harvard hoards $55.7 billion while the top 10 college endowments hold $320 billion combined.
All of it tax exempt, all of them still charging six figure tuition, lobbying for more federal cash, and running as indoctrination centers.
These are wealth hoarding hedge funds that hand out degrees.
Strip the tax exemption and force them to spend it or lose it.

It should be insulting to every American that the mayor of our largest city is a guy who became a citizen less than a decade ago and now spends his time coaching illegal aliens in a foreign language on how they can avoid being lawfully deported.

"Today, the Big Five publishers are staffed almost entirely by women. According to the most recent data, more than 70 percent of staffers are women. More than 70 percent of editors are women. Even 70 percent of all interns are women. At the executive level, more than 60 percent of leaders are women. In 2026, American publishing looks like lululemon."
