2) 'One Step from Skynet'
Nick Milani masterfully explores the inability of generative AI to comprehend the consequences of its actions, and how close we already are to an inadvertent Skynet scenario: https://nickjmilani.substack.com/p/one-step-from-skynet

This week, for example I read two excellent Substack articles addressing the dangers of combining AI with drone warfare:
1) 'The Moral Weight of a Kill Decision: Why AI in Warfare Demands a Human in the Loop'
Michael Lubrano, an Iraq combat veteran who now works in AI tech, lays out why human decision-making in war is crucial to accountability:

Yes, Let's Keep a 'Human in the Loop'...
Hi All! If you've read my techno-thriller KILL DECISION (2012) or my posts over the past 14 years, it will come as no surprise that I'm against the deployment of autonomous robotic weapons. We've all seen how cheap, remotely piloted kamikaze drones have transformed the modern battlefield. Yet, AI-controlled weapons would make it much worse. As I've stated in my TED Talk from 2013, we must not deploy AI weapons capable of making a 'kill decision'.

If there is going to be a talking filibuster over the save act, the Dems need to read Epstein files that mention Trump into the record for the entire time.
Underappreciated story: Trump and Bondi have decided to disregard the constitutional requirement that US Attorneys require Senate confirmation. In state after state they install unqualified apparatchiks, and it's up to the courts to discover that these stooges are serving illegally.

Joe Kent, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, announced his resignation on Tuesday over the Middle East conflict, saying "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation." CBS News' Olivia Rinaldi has the latest.
Be clear about this outrage: Trump and Republicans are attempting in broad daylight to disenfranchise 21 million American voters.
If they want to require a certain kind of ID for voting, they must first provide all eligible voters with that ID. They are making no attempt to do that. It's a Voter Disenfranchisement bill.
