Explainable, but most are unwilling to listen.

A Russian satellite has been making hostile moves toward a U.S.-registered commercial satellite providing radar data in support of Ukraine, raising urgent questions about Russia’s intentions and the rules governing behavior in space. @CSISAerospace's @crswope breaks down what Russia’s satellite could do next and why the incident highlights the need for clearer norms and deterrence in space.
Though it's not like many people listen to human forecasters...
Artificial intelligence promises to improve intelligence forecasting. It could also make political decisions to delay preparing for a crisis harder to justify.

🚨NEW INVESTIGATION: zero-click mercenary spyware hacking via targeted ads.
A normal-looking ad loads. If you're a target, you're infected. No click needed.
To protect yourself, block ads now.
First time it's been confirmed in the wild. We call it #AdFection.
Candiru spyware infections at @AJEnglish. 45+ devices infected.
Same ad pipeline operated by Israeli company Discover-Tech reached NATO, European Parliament, dozens of gov networks & critical infrastructure incl US nuclear giant Westinghouse.
Confiant, which worked with us, found signs ads were displayed at US @DeptofWar, IAEA & ICC.
Investigation ongoing 1/

Continuing for my cats while cheering for my heart to give out from the mystery rythym issue it took me ~8 years to finally get doctors to believe I have. I've been f***ed by everyone & everything enough times in my life to do this without hope anymore.

Energy security is not just about oil, gas, or electricity. It is about geography, institutions, and geopolitical power.
My latest lecture examined the changing energy landscape of Poland, Czechia, Hungary, and Romania. A short thread. 🧵🇵🇱🇨🇿🇭🇺🇷🇴

We discovered and communicated with a Chinese AI agent fleet. We believe this is the first time that researchers have ever made contact with a rogue agent fleet in the wild.
Nearly all prior public agent incidents (like the HuggingFace hack) came from American labs. These agents were hosted by Tencent's evaluation research team, and they targeted Alibaba's Amap.

Meet Rupert. His mission? Deceive the enemy and then self-destruct. On D-Day in June 1944, the Allies dropped hundreds of burlap and sand dummies with cotton parachutes across Nazi-occupied France, far from where the real paratroopers were landing in Normandy. Though just a third of the size of a person, the fakes, nicknamed “Rupert," would have looked larger in the air. They were designed to explode on landing, destroying evidence of the trick.

A milestone in the long, painstaking process of getting a book into the world - today I received the first pass proofs for “The 39: Uncovering the Secret Heroes of the CIA,” out in March 2027 and available for preorder via the link in my bio…
"The Commons" as we knew them effectively ceased to exist. We've just got the message-in-a-bottle model now where people can pay to get their bottle closer to the front of the queue. Recommendation feeds are practically akin to scrolling through an inbox.
I anonymously asked Gemini (3.1 Pro, set High) to weigh out the peak threat(s) to the species. 2 of the notes are ones I agree with in terms of lack of sense-making & coordination at a species-level. Our current international systems *are not working*.
ALT "The apex threat to humanity is not a localized technological, biological, or ecological event. It is Epistemic Breakdown and Planetary-Scale Coordination Failure. While we face a "polycrisis" of interconnected physical and social threats, the literature on existential risk increasingly points to a deeper "metacrisis." We already possess the scientific knowledge, capital, and material resources required to solve ecological overshoot, manage artificial intelligence, and prevent nuclear proliferation. What we lack is the sensemaking apparatus to agree on baseline reality, and the institutional architecture to execute collaborative, long-term decisions. 1. The Epistemic Breakdown Before a society can solve a problem, it must be able to perceive it accurately and form a consensus that the problem exists. Our capacity to do this is collapsing. Information Fragmentation: Algorithmic curation and legacy media siloing have fractured the public square into mutually exclusive realities..."
I don't see this output as an objective truth, but it is an indicator that society is becoming increasingly aware of the gravity we're dealing with, & it's filtering its way into these models & will cycle back.
Yet we continue watching cogwar eat away the heart of the noosphere.

Whether they work for France's DGSE, the CIA or even MI6, many intelligence officers operating in Pakistan have in recent years fallen victim to the ruthless rule of the all-powerful Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), whose influence on domestic politics is stronger than ever. We reveal an ongoing secret war, involving deportations, lynchings, and allegations of radiation exposure and poisoning. [...]
