'public opinion on A.I. has turned sharply negative; it now polls beneath ICE or Donald Trump (though above the Democratic Party or Iran). There is an A.I. backlash building, and understandably so: Who wants a technology that may take your job and eventually threaten human sovereignty? At the same time, A.I. is everywhere, and being woven into almost everything, and a staggering number of Americans use it daily. Backlash or no, I expect that trend to accelerate, not reverse'

'In peacetime, dependencies like sulfur were easy to miss. Understanding this prelogistical dimension is essential because it forces planners to look beyond stockpiles and shipping, and instead ask a more fundamental question: Do we have the basic industrial and chemical inputs required to regenerate combat power in a protracted conflict?'

The new uncomfortable normality
No Worries? Australian attitudes to national security, risk and resilience (report): National security starts at the front door – not at the territorial borders.

"For most Australians, the 18-month research project revealed, national security starts at their front door – not at the territorial borders of the island continent. It showed they are worried the country is not prepared for the demands of a volatile 21st century in a polluted information ecosystem, where the rules-based international order is crumbling, economic precarity has become uncomfortably normal and trust is more fragile." >>
