We must regulate AI for safety, agree AI pioneers & firms. But now, two signers of a new letter calling for independent outside evaluators warn that regulation could lead to “state control” and “ideological domination” by left-wing evaluators.

Last year, the French government launched a criminal investigation into Elon Musk's X over evidence of "foreign interference." But now the man who sent the letter that triggered the investigation admits to me that he was targeting Musk's politics, not any foreign interference.

Since Trump returned to power, Australia's Prime Minister, @AlboMP, has boasted about their relationship. But now, with his new demand for sweeping online censorship, Albanese is willing to sacrifice his nation's coveted minerals deal so he can silence critics of mass migration.

Before @ElonMusk bought Twitter, you couldn't notice that foreigners committed most of the group rapes in Germany, despite being just 15% of the population. By lifting censorship, says @Pauline__Voss, Musk unleashed a “vibe shift” that led to @AfD's historic victory.

No country did more to make the case for free speech over the last 300 years than Britain. And yet it has made over 62,000 arrests over the last five years for "communications offences," which have included doing nothing more than watching a TikTok video. It's terrifying just how totalitarian the UK has become.

Elon Musk may have used his Starlink satellites to steal the 2024 election for Donald Trump, according to a new Alex Gibney documentary seen by The Hollywood Reporter (THR). “Two revelations, or at least intimations, especially stand out,” writes Steven Zeitchik. The first is an allegation by “Musk ex and former conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair, a central figure in the documentary,” who says Musk had a “degree of certainty” about the elections that “I had never seen before.” She says Musk told her, “I have ten thousand lasers in space.” “So you think he was referring to Starlink?” asks Gibney, who has made a series of films about frauds including “Enron,” “Scientology,” and “The Inventor,” about Elizabeth Holmes’s start-up Theranos. “I mean, I don’t know where else he has space lasers,” replies St. Clair. According to Zeitchik, Gibney “hints he is taking it seriously when he then says in his patented voiceover, ‘What is Elon building, what are his goals, what are his actual motivations, and do we even know this man at all?’” But election officials in North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania confirmed what most journalists and people in politics already knew, which is that voting equipment is not connected to the internet. “Our election equipment is 100% air-gapped,” said Georgia elections spokesman Mike Hassinger, who called the claims “absolutely conspiratorial nonsense.” And fact-checkers hostile to Musk debunked the Starlink theory in November 2024. quoted a Georgia official saying “No Georgia election tabulation is connected to the internet, ever, not by Starlink or anything else.” PolitiFact rated the theory “Pants on Fire.” Poynter traced the theory to Threads posts from despairing Democrats “amid a larger wave of election denial claims from liberals that mimic Republicans’ false claims about 2020 election fraud.” And yet at no point in the over 5,000-word THR article does Zeitchik ever mention the fact-checks.

To the public, Hunter Biden’s laptop, Russiagate, and Hillary’s email server appeared to be separate and unrelated events. But they never were. In fact, the best way to understand them is as a single, decade-long FBI operation to deceive the American people.

Ghent University's rector has retaliated against the researcher who exposed Jason Arday's plagiarism. It turns out the rector, Petra de Sutter, violated his own university's policy against AI plagiarism last year.

Newly declassified files reveal that the FBI dropped its investigation into Rep. Eric Swalwell's romantic relationship with an alleged Chinese spy — even though it had concluded she was an “illegal source of campaign contributions” — as it ramped up its investigation of Trump.
