"AI executives have become cultishly attached to the belief that their chatbots are actually conscious people, with The New York Times reporting that the leaders of Anthropic have been relating to their LLM “Claude” as a conscious being with a moral status on par with human beings.

Personally I refuse to even start entertaining claims that chatbots are conscious beings whose rights must be protected until I live in a society where all humans are treated as conscious beings whose rights must be protected."

Using AI Instead Of Writing Turns Your Brain Into Cheez Whiz

Today I saw a post from a popular Twitter account saying, “As soon as AI is good enough to write blog posts in my voice as good as I would have written them, i intend to use AI to do so. I know what I want to say, and I could say so much more if I didn’t need to manual labor the words out one by one.”

“I kinda hate writing,” she said further down in the thread.

This sucks. I don’t like what we’re becoming. I don’t like how AI is making us so dumb so quickly that the simple act of writing is already being described as “manual laboring the words out one by one,” like it’s some superhuman feat of exertion that nobody should be expected to be capable of.

@Aella_Girl do you expect readers to manual labor the words in one by one?

Most of the excuses people make for letting chatbots “write” for them are just admissions of a glaring personality defect.

“But I hate writing!”

Okay, that’s a character flaw, and you should change that about yourself.

“I know what I want to say, I just don’t know how to say it.”

That’s a character flaw and you should change that about yourself.

“I get an idea I want to express, but when I sit down to write I get overwhelmed with frustration and restlessness.”

Yeah, that’s a character flaw and you should change that about yourself.

Writing isn’t just some skill you can have like juggling or surfing. Writing is thinking. Writing is the practice of sorting through the flotsam and jetsam of your own consciousness and transforming your thoughts and feelings into coherent, logical expression. Engaging in this practice makes you a more mature and cognitively lucid person than you otherwise would be.

It’s not always easy to delve into your depths and form articulate word-sculptures out of the jumbled messes you’ll encounter there. It can be frustrating. It can be confrontational. It can force you to challenge your pre-conceived notions and interrogate your own belief systems in ways you find uncomfortable. Sometimes you feel like you want to jump up and start running as fast as you can to escape the intimidating stare of the blank page in front of you.

Learning to work past these escapist impulses and drill down into the meat of your own vulnerable expression is what personal growth looks like. You learn to be courageous. You learn that the emotional surges which feel like they’re trying to whip you out of your desk chair are only feelings, and that you are large enough to safely embody them. You learn to calm your inner waters so that you can stare at the blank page until something inspired bubbles up from deep within you.

Man AI has made the world so deeply ugly in such a short period of time. Like aesthetically it’s just nightmarish

I never really know what I want to say when I sit down to write an essay. I’ll begin with an opinion, a feeling, maybe a snappy line or two if I’m lucky, but everything after that point arises from a process of patient and methodical internal excavation.

I need to get very clear, sentence by sentence, about what I know and how I know it. Every step of the way I’m asking myself “Okay, what’s the next thing that needs to be said? Is that true? How do I know it’s true? Is that morally correct? How do I know it’s morally correct? How can I defend that position?” I often need to do research and gather sources to support my claims, depending on whether I’m writing about things out there in the world or things inside myself I can discuss from personal experience.

Line by line I’m becoming clearer and clearer about the subject I’m writing on, and I get to take that clarity with me for the rest of my life. At the end of every essay, I am a deeper and more edified person than I was when I began.

None of that would have happened if I just told a chatbot to generate some text for me. I would end exactly where I began: with the basic nub of an opinion, plus a midwit validation machine telling me I’m correct and awesome for having that opinion.

It doesn’t make me grow. It doesn’t make me mature. It doesn’t make me deepen my understanding of the subject at hand. It leaves me completely unchanged as a person.

No actual, meaningful improvements will have been made to me. The only benefit it provides is the ability to avoid feeling uncomfortable feelings and freeing up some time that I can then spend watching TV or scrolling TikTok.

Coming soon to a school near you: AI monitoring of classrooms for signs of “antisemitism”

The most dangerous consequences of AI are the mass surveillance systems and war machinery that our rulers are building these new technologies into, as well as the environmental impact of all the new data centers required for their operation. But individual use of generative AI is also having highly destructive effects on human consciousness, the most widespread and consequential of which is surely the disappearance of our ability to write.

P.S. Fuck ChatGPT for ruining em dashes for everyone. I loved those little guys.

COL. Lawrence Wilkerson : Will Trump Let Israel Use Nukes?

Judge blocks US sanctions on rights groups helping ICC Gaza war crimes inquiry

A US federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from placing sanctions on two US-based human rights groups for working to help the international criminal court’s (ICC) investigations into war crimes in Gaza. In a 30-page order issued on Tuesday, Jesse M Furman, a judge at the US district court for the southern district of New York, granted a preliminary injunction to the two groups, Democracy for the Arab World Now (Dawn) and Taxpayer Alliance Against Genocide (Taag).

The two organizations sued the Trump administration this summer, challenging an executive order issued in February 2025 that imposed sanctions against the ICC. The order warned the US government would “impose tangible and significant consequences” on people involved in investigations that Washington said threatened the national security of the US or its allies, including Israel.

In his opinion, Furman noted that last year two law professors brought a separate lawsuit challenging the 2025 executive order, and that the court had held that the order “violated those plaintiffs’ first amendment rights because it constituted a content-based regulation of their speech-based activities and did not survive strict scrutiny”. Furman said that this lawsuit brought by Dawn and Taag – groups he described as “American advocacy organizations” – raised a “substantially similar challenge”. He wrote that the groups were challenging the 2025 order on “both statutory and constitutional grounds, re-upping many of the arguments made in the earlier cases”.

Dawn and Taag are rights groups that had worked to gather information for the ICC as it investigated allegations of war crimes against Palestinians. “The court concludes that the 2025 order likely violates plaintiffs’ first amendment rights because it constitutes a content-based regulation of their speech-based activities and cannot survive strict scrutiny,” Furman wrote.

However, the judge stopped short of declaring the executive order “facially unconstitutional” and rejected the groups’ request to “enjoin the president and to enter a ‘universal’ injunction barring enforcement of the 2025 order against anyone”.

Prof. Mohammad Marandi : What Iran Expects From Trump

Israel blocks construction of key Gaza base created by Trump peace board

Israel is refusing to allow a key military outpost project for Donald Trump’s Board of Peace to proceed in Gaza, the Guardian has learned. In early August, the Board of Peace, the international organization authorized in 2025 by the UN and chaired by the US president, issued its first construction contract for Gaza: Louisiana-based Arkel International would construct a military outpost for 150 international troops that would be the vanguard of an international stabilization force.

Two months later, Israel has still not permitted the contract to move forward, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter. Contractors and trucks are not being allowed to cross into Gaza and begin the work. “Israel won’t open the border,” they said.

Israel’s war in Gaza is one of the eight wars Trump claims to have resolved. He listed it again last week in a screed on social media, protesting that it was unfair he had not won the Nobel peace prize. The Board of Peace, formed in the wake of an October 2025 ceasefire in Gaza, is central to Trump’s claims to have ended the conflict.

Arkel’s planned “mission support site temporary outpost” is decidedly rudimentary: a fortified position of about 100 meters by 100 meters, at a site that was once part of the controversial and now defunct Gaza Humanitarian Foundation project, according to the person familiar with the matter. The US-backed GHF operated in Gaza from May 2025 till October 2025 to deliver aid protected by private contractors. The base would host short rotating deployments of a well-armed force of 150 troops in Gaza, the person said. They would come from a larger component of 500 sent already from Morocco and Kosovo.

But without this contract, the source said, the rest of the Board of Peace program cannot launch. Israel’s refusal to allow Arkel, the contractor, to build the base, essentially cuts the Board of Peace off at the legs. “You can’t get in without [an international stabilization force (ISF)]. You can’t rebuild,” the person said. “There’s no security. There’s no deliveries of construction equipment. You can’t even start putting utilities. You can’t start putting in basic life-support facilities you know because without the ISF you can’t go in.”

Israel Declares ALL ARAB STATES ILLEGITIMATE: Pretext For INVASION

Two container ships sink near strait of Hormuz amid surge in Iranian attacks

Two container ships near the strait of Hormuz have ⁠sunk after being struck by missiles, amid the sharpest rise in Iranian attacks on shipping since the start of the US-Israel war with Iran. The increase in attacks suggests Iran is trying to fully close the strategic waterway in an attempt to frustrate Donald Trump’s efforts to bring down fuel prices before the US midterm elections on 3 November.

The Trump administration has been attempting to deflect attention from the economic impact of the war on Iran by blaming Ukraine’s attacks on Russian refineries for increased fuel prices. On Wednesday, UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported at least five incidents including drone strikes in the previous 48 hours targeting tankers and other commercial ships around the Hormuz area. “There is a tempo increase in strikes, which looks deliberate,” one maritime security source said.

The Singapore-flagged ​container ‌ship GFS Pride sank on Wednesday after an attack the previous day. Hours later, the Antigua- and Barbuda-flagged Cape Dao sank close to the strait, having been hit by a ​projectile ​on 23 September, according to data from ‌the ‌International Maritime Organization. Apparently referring to the GFS Pride, Iran said a cargo ship had sunk after hitting a naval mine while making an unauthorised passage through the strait.

Iran has repeatedly warned ships against trying to transit through the strait without its approval. The US military has been guiding ships through the waterway on a route nearer to Oman’s coast. Ships in the area were reporting an intense series of attacks in recent days, with six vessels attacked on Sunday alone, according to UKMTO’s monitoring.

Analysis by the Financial Times said 24 ships were hit in the two weeks to 11 October. Of the vessels hit, three were refined energy product tankers and two others were crude oil tankers. The increased tempo of Iranian attacks appears to have caused a dramatic drop-off in oil shipments through the strait, as Tehran appears determined to demonstrate its ability to strike ships before the US midterms that will decide control of Congress.

‘Murdering People Has Failed’: Cheap Cocaine Flows Into US as Trump Bombs Boats

US President Donald Trump has bombed dozens of boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean over the past 13 months, killing more than 230 people, but “record supplies of cocaine still arrive in the US, Europe, and as far away as Australia every day, cheaper and purer than they’ve been in decades,” The Wall Street Journal reported late Tuesday.

After speaking with scholars of the cocaine trade and law enforcement officials across four continents, the Journal’s Juan Forero detailed how “Colombian navy divers are detecting greater use of ‘parasites’—metal modules packed with cocaine that traffickers bolt onto the hulls of freighters preparing to steam out of this country’s largest Pacific port.”

“Deep in the Amazon, smugglers have shifted shipments east, hiding drugs on boats moving through the rainforest’s vast river network,” he noted. “And on Colombia’s long coast, crews evade US military airstrikes by hugging the shoreline in the exact same speedboats the Americans are targeting.”

13.5 months into the US's lethal boat strikes, cocaine "supply is outstripping demand to the point that prices are plunging" in the US.

This piece details many deviously innovative ways that traffickers have adjusted… not really seeing @Southcom's “systemic friction” here.

— Adam Isacson (@adam_wola) October 14, 2026

“In Europe, the influx is overwhelming authorities. The drugs arrive on container vessels, smaller boats from way stations in Africa, and semi-submersible vessels that cross the Atlantic to rendezvous with ships near Portugal or Spain,” the journalist added, pointing out that cocaine prices have dropped in both the United States and Europe.

Since Trump began bombing the alleged drug boats last year, his administration has argued his deadly campaign is both necessary to stem the flow of illicit drugs and lawful because the US is purportedly at war with cartels. Critics, including Democrats in Congress, legal experts, and human rights groups, have condemned the strikes as murders.

Murdering people has failed: “Record supplies of cocaine still arrive in the U.S. … every day, cheaper and purer than they’ve been in decades, said law-enforcement officials across four continents.” https://t.co/MvtutSyJsk

— Conor Lamb (@ConorLambPA) October 14, 2026

The Journal’s reporting isn’t the first to highlight the initiative’s apparent failure. It follows a July article from The Washington Post about a Drug Enforcement Administration analysis concluding the campaign “had failed to affect the supply or price of cocaine in the United States, and had led traffickers to diversify beyond go-fast boats and to avoid international waters, opting instead for larger boats and hemming close to coastlines, where US forces are less likely to open fire.”

Sharing the latest article on social media Wednesday, writer Jesse Walker wrote, “Washington’s extrajudicial murders of alleged drug smugglers: not just grossly immoral and flagrantly illegal, but a ridiculous failure on their own terms.”

Because a) they're not bombing cartels, they're bombing fishing boats and cattle farms b) they're partnering with narcostates and paramilitaries, the biggest criminals and c) the US fuels violence with weapons sales, drug demand, and constant destabilization.

— Joseph Bouchard (@GeopolWonk) October 14, 2026

Journalist Glenn Greenwald similarly said: “As was completely predictable (and predicted), Trump’s policy of bombing speed boats near Venezuela and Colombia has killed hundreds of people while having no success in impeding the flow of cocaine into the US. In fact, reports the WSJ, cocaine is more plentiful, purer, and cheaper in the US than ever, in part because of these bombings. At some point, will people realize that the justifications they’re given for US bombings and wars are almost always—always—lies?”

Zelensky's diesel blackmail - Max on Judging Freedom

Volodymyr Zelenskyy feels ‘betrayed’ by Donald Trump over Starlink access

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he feels personally betrayed by Donald Trump after it emerged that Ukraine’s military has had its access to Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite squeezed, raising doubts about long-term US support for Kyiv. The Ukrainian president, on a visit to London, accused Trump of picking the other side after more than four years of war, risking a breakdown in relations already strained by the US agreeing to buy diesel from Moscow.

Ahead of a meeting with prime minister Andy Burnham in Downing Street, Zelenskyy appeared in a TV interview where he was asked whether the sudden restriction of Starlink was deliberate and if he felt betrayed by Trump. “Really, yes … but it’s a little bit more complicated ⁠than just my emotions or my feelings,” the Ukrainian president replied, adding: “It’s a pity that we are losing, we are losing a strong partner.”

Overnight, Ukraine’s military reported that, without explanation, the Starlink satellite communications system, produced by Musk’s SpaceX but managed by the US government, was no longer working at speeds greater than 100mph. That effectively rendered most of the drones used by Ukraine to strike behind the frontlines inoperable – and, it later emerged, affected the most effective air defence system to stop Russian jet-powered attack drones bombing Kyiv.

“I am sure they knew what they did, absolutely. Because it was 1am at night, Starlink was blocked by SpaceX and the United States,” Zelenskyy said in an interview with Piers Morgan. “This decision will bring a lot of human losses … of course, people will die.” Trump denied that his administration had cut intelligence sharing on Tuesday, but Zelenskyy said in an interview with US broadcaster NPR, aired on Wednesday, that military advisers had received threats from the US that intelligence sharing could be limited in the future. The US president has demanded that Ukraine stop striking Russian oil refineries, which he has blamed for the high cost of diesel, although most analysts say the closure of the strait of Hormuz after the US-Israel attack on Iran has had a far larger impact on global energy prices.

Ex CIA Officer Larry Johnson confronts the UN security Council on UKRAINE

Sally Rooney says she can no longer sell books in UK due to Palestine Action support

Sally Rooney has said she is being forced to withdraw her books from sale in the UK because of her support for the banned organisation Palestine Action. The Irish novelist, whose books include Normal People and Conversations With Friends, said her public support for the direct action group meant she could no longer receive royalties from UK sales.

After Palestine Action was banned last year, Rooney said she would use proceeds from her sales to support Palestine Action. Supporting organisations banned under the Terrorism Act is an offence and she subsequently cancelled a trip to the UK to pick up an award, for fear of arrest.

In a statement provided to the Guardian, the bestselling author said: “‘In July 2025, the direct-action protest group Palestine Action was proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the UK. The following month, I wrote an opinion piece expressing my intention to go on supporting Palestine Action, which is not a proscribed or otherwise prohibited group here in the Republic of Ireland.

“As a result, the fulfilment of contracts to publish my work in the UK could now constitute a serious criminal offence. After a process of consultation and deliberation, and with my full agreement, my publisher Faber has therefore determined that it can no longer supply my work within the UK. I have made every effort to be honest with the public about my beliefs and intentions, and I am wholly prepared to accept the consequences.” In a high court statement in support of the legal challenge to proscription, warning against its impact on freedom of expression, Rooney said her books could disappear from UK stores and the publication of new works in the UK could be prevented.

Her books have been critically acclaimed – she has been described as the voice of a generation – and hugely commercially successful in the UK. Normal People has sold more than 1m copies, while Conversations With Friends and Beautiful World, Where Are You have each sold more than 500,000. Normal People and Conversations With Friends were adapted by the BBC, and the former racked up 62.7m views, becoming the broadcaster’s most-streamed series of 2020.

Trump administration promises social security recipients 3.6% increase in 2027

Social security recipients will see a 3.6% cost-of-living adjustment (Cola) in 2027, increasing retirement benefits by an average of $75 a month as millions of Americans continue to grapple with rising prices.

Nearly 72 million social security beneficiaries will see higher payments beginning in January 2027, while approximately 7.3 million supplemental security income (SSI) recipients will receive increased payments starting on 31 December 2026, according to the Social Security Administration.

Although social security increases are meant to keep up with inflation, they often do not cover rising costs like healthcare, housing and prescription drugs, particularly for senior citizens. “Seniors have spent years watching their expenses outpacing their benefits,” Shannon Benton, director of the advocacy group Senior Citizens League, told NBC.

Pointing to the Cola adjustment, Benton said: “This provides a little breathing room but won’t undo the damage of what we’ve seen this decade.”

US inflation rose to 3.7% in September in blow to Republicans before midterms

Republicans are entering the midterm elections with the highest rate of inflation since the spring, according to a government report released on Wednesday. US price increases reached an annual rate of 3.7% in September, according to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, up from 3.4% in August. This final inflation report before the pivotal midterm elections comes amid polls showing widespread dissatisfaction with the Trump administration over the cost of living.

Price increases are the highest they have been since the annual inflation rate reached a three-year peak of 4.2% in May. Gasoline accounted for over half of overall price increases, up 34% from last year. Fuel oil, which is used to heat homes, increased by 74% from last year, a worrying sign for households heading into the winter. Air travel, which many Americans rely on during the holidays, also increased by 22.4%.

Overall, consumer prices went up 0.6% from August. Core inflation, which strips out volatile energy and food prices, also ticked up by 0.3% in September to 2.6% annually.

Price increases this year have largely driven by the US-Israel war with Iran, which has caused energy prices to soar. Average gas prices remain over a dollar per gallon more than last year, according to data from AAA. Meanwhile diesel, which powers domestic supply chains, reached a record high last month. September’s inflation rate is the highest it has been before a midterm election, with the exception of the pandemic, since 1990.

Lawyers for man shot by ICE in New York City say agent did not identify himself

Lawyers for a man wounded by an immigration officer while driving with his young son in New York City said in a court filing Wednesday that the agent who shot him never identified himself before he ran up to the car, smashed one of its windows, then fired several shots into the vehicle. The account by lawyers for Oscar Belgal contrasted sharply with the version of events outlined by Department of Homeland Security officials. They have said officers opened fire only after Belgal smashed his car into two government vehicles and “accelerated toward other officers”.

The Legal Aid Society, in a petition filed in Brooklyn federal court seeking Belgal’s release, said he had picked up his son from school and was stopped in front of a fire hydrant, looking for a parking spot, when “an anonymous, masked man” stormed up to the vehicle with his gun drawn, followed by other masked men with guns. “The men did not identify themselves, show any documents or otherwise communicate with Oscar in any substantive way,” Belgal’s lawyers wrote. “Instead, without identifying himself, the first man struck and shattered Oscar’s window and began firing a pistol into Oscar’s car while his son cowered in the back seat. One of those bullets struck Oscar in the neck and he immediately began to bleed.”

New York City police security camera footage released by the department last week shows some of the encounter but doesn’t conclusively resolve the dispute about how the shooting happened. The video shows a man wearing a sweatshirt and a red hat running up to the car with his gun pointed at Belgal, then immediately using the barrel of his gun to bash the driver’s side window. The window shatters on the second blow. A second officer comes into view alongside the car and draws his gun. Belgal then pulls into the street, away from the two officers. The car pulls out of view of the camera, with the officer in the red hat in pursuit.

Whatever happened next didn’t appear on the NYPD’s security cameras, but the chase ended just a moment later, with Belgal’s damaged car resting against a concrete barrier with bullet holes in its windshield and a rear window.

Texas prosecutor considering felony charges for ICE agent who ran over man

A Texas prosecutor said he was considering felony assault charges for an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer who ran over a man following an attempted traffic stop and broke his leg in multiple places. Sean Teare, district attorney for Harris county, said video of the incident in west Houston on Saturday morning, in which the officer’s unmarked SUV is seen veering into the man as he runs away across an empty parking lot, could support a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. A conviction carries a possible prison sentence of up to 20 years.

“It’s pretty obvious that this was an intentional striking and running over of the person by the vehicle,” Teare told NBC News, adding that his view was shared by “many other investigators” who had seen the footage. The injured man, Miguel Parra-Hernandez, remained under ICE supervision at a hospital in Houston on Wednesday with serious hip and leg injuries that his representatives said would require a series of future surgeries. ICE has conceded the 48-year-old was not the target of the traffic stop, but said he was in the country illegally.

The district attorney told NBC that ICE was refusing to cooperate, and had denied his investigators’ request for access to information from the vehicle’s data recorder. “Our office began drafting a search warrant that we were in the process of drafting when the ICE agent in question, the one that had been driving, we believed, at the time of the collision, jumped back into the car and drove it away from the scene,” Teare said. “In my 20-year career, I’ve never heard of anything like that. [You] put it on a flatbed trailer and you take it to forensically download it.”

He said he believed two other persons from “an entirely different operation” were in custody in the back of the ICE vehicle when the driver began to pursue Parra-Hernandez, and that his office was working to ensure they remained in the country to provide evidence as material witnesses.

Mont Blanc, the ‘roof of Europe’, loses more than a metre of height in a year

Western Europe’s highest mountain shrank by more than a metre last year. The peak of Mont Blanc in France now stands 4,807.47 metres above sea level, a team of surveyors said on Wednesday, putting “the roof of Europe” 1.29 metres lower than in 2025.

The mountain is about 4,792 metres tall but the summit constantly shifts as heat, wind and precipitation change the thickness of snow and ice on top. The height scientists recorded during an expedition last month was 1.88 metres greater than it was in 2023, when it reached the lowest levels in recent memory.

The experts cautioned against linking fluctuations in height from year to year to the rapid loss of Alpine ice being caused by fossil fuel pollution. “Regarding ice mass, it is essential to distinguish between changes in surface altitude and changes in the total volume or mass of ice,” a UNGE spokesperson said. “An increase in summit altitude does not necessarily mean that the mountain has gained ice mass, nor does it contradict the documented retreat of Alpine glaciers.”

Climate breakdown was a factor in western Europe’s hottest summer on record this year, scarring Alpine regions and melting ice at dizzying speed. Earlier this month, Swiss glaciologists warned of an “explosion of melt rates” after confirming that one-fifth of the country’s ice had been lost in the past five years, and 5.5% of volume was lost between 2025 and 2026.

Southern California beach closes after sighting of great white shark ‘exhibiting aggressive behavior’

A popular southern California beach was closed after a great white shark was reportedly spotted “exhibiting aggressive behavior” on Tuesday afternoon.

The Huntington Beach fire department said there was a “credible report” of a 10-12ft great white shark circling near a lifeguard tower, which is considered aggressive behavior according to the city’s marine safety division’s “shark response protocols”.

California saw an unusually high number of great white sharks over the summer as juveniles fled warm waters in Mexico amid El Niño. Experts said humans shouldn’t be alarmed.

Shark incidents involving bites are “extremely rare” in California, according to the state’s department of fish and wildlife. There have been fewer than 250 shark incidents in the state since 1950, and fewer than 20 were fatal.
