Weaponizing Perception: China and Russia’s Cognitive Warfare Against Democracies

The new front in great power competition is not cyber or space, but cognition. Beijing and Moscow are systematically weaponizing perception — deploying artificial intelligence, disinformation, and psychological operations to erode trust in institutions, fracture alliances, and weaken democratic resolve from within.

MAGA: "Mask bans are unconstitutional and federal law trumps state law"

YES I agree. Such as the following FEDERAL law: Title 18 section 241 - "Conspiracy against rights"

Makes it a FEDERAL CRIME for two or more persons to disguise themselves and then stop people on the highway for the purposes of kidnapping a united states citizen. And here's the really fun part. If aggravated injury or sexual assault occurs during the kidnapping, the recommended penalty is DEATH. That law has been on the books since 1948. So have fun when we start charging ICE Gestapo shitstains with that particular federal code you fucking Nazis.

I'm planning to upgrade this year. My series 5 isn't getting a full day of battery anymore, but if an apple watch comes out with reliable blood sugar sensor, that's gonna be an instant buy from me.
I imagine good hypertension and blood sugar sensors would be complete game changers.

Assistant for Essay Writing Task https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08872

Fascinating paper. It's long, 200 pages; you can read the intro and the Discussion section and get much out of it already though, but they do their homework.

Effects of LLM usage on memory retention and task execution:

Jeg er ved at brænde inde med fire RIP billetter til alle dage på Copenhell. Og det er bare mega synd, men Vi kan simpelthen ikke selv komme af sted.

Copenhell begynder i overmorgen, og derfor er jeg nu der, hvor du kan give et rimeligt bud, og så siger jeg sgu nok ja 😅

Og ja, jeg krummer lidt tæer over at markedsføre to gange på en uge. Men. Det er sørme også synd, hvis de skal gå til spilde.

Jeg ved ikke hvordan vi håndterer tillid osv., men jeg forudsætter betaling via Mobilepay eller straksoverførsel og så Ticketmaster Transfer. Eller vi kan mødes i Odense, hvis du hellere vil give hånd og af med nogle kontanter.

I was at a concert tonight with a lot of upcoming bands. There was a mosh pit full of teens, circle pitting as if there were no tomorrow and that filled me with joy.
When the average age at my local metal festival appears to increase by one every year, it's nice to see that it's not all grey beards out there.
