I am grateful to all of you who are trying to keep Europe and the United States together.
There are so many people with good hearts in America who sincerely want evil to lose and Ukraine to stand strong. These are the very hearts that helped Europe defend its freedom, and that fought on D-Day, won the Cold War, and want what is best for Europe. Hearts that want to be allies, not to divide or humiliate Europe. I believe most Americans still feel this way. And at the end of the day, the American people will have their say.
Putin will listen to America if America really turns up the heat on him and makes one thing clear – either he chooses peace, or he gets no more money for his war.
From an address to the participants of the European Council meeting. (2/5)

Woolworth's team leaders were on strike for an hour today. Why? The company wants to freeve their wages for up to 5 years.
Yep, 5 years.
Some others may get pay rises that are below inflation.
Email them your thoughts below.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

The fish rots from the head. When the Prime Minister’s office is actively and deliberately breaking the Official Information Act (Fonterra case) then it becomes normal for all ministers. rnz.co.nz/news/education/152…

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Huge kudos to new investigative kids on the block, @Verbatim_Media via @Channel4News.

This government is heartless and completely removed from the realities they’ve created for most Kiwis during their divisive tenure. This cruel coalition appears intent on destroying hope and opportunity for our young people. Read @RichardHills_ thread explaining this injustice

There’s a special place in hell for politicians who lament climate disasters while implementing policies to increase climate pollution from fossil fuels and agribusiness . Live: Five New Zealanders missing following Nepal flash flood - reports rnz.co.nz/news/world/1148384…

I renew my appeal for an end to the ongoing violence against the Palestinian civilian population in the West Bank, and I urgently call on the international community to work toward advancing the two-state solution, for a just and lasting peace.

New book by Eyal Weizman, “Ungrounding: The Architecture of Israel’s Genocide in #Gaza. Meticulously researched. “Multiple members of his team were killed over the course of the war—victims of the very campaign that they worked to document.” foreignpolicy.com/2026/08/04…

#Nauru 🇳🇷 with a population of around 12,000 doesn’t have a high commission in #NZ, so how can it afford this provocative move to scope establishing an embassy to Israel in Jerusalem? The question must be asked: how can it be afforded…. rnz.co.nz/news/pacific/77561…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: allowing the US to use British air bases for its illegal war on Iran is a catastrophic, historic mistake.

Richard Feynman stood at a Cornell blackboard in 1964 and explained the problem every AI lab is fighting in 2026. The BBC filmed it. Almost nobody watches it.
The lecture is about why nature only answers in mathematics. Every team forcing language models to reason is hitting the wall he mapped 62 years ago.
He was 46. The Nobel Prize came 11 months later. The footage survived on film reels and now sits free on YouTube with fewer views than a keyboard unboxing.
Watch the blackboard section near the middle. He takes 1 of Kepler's laws and rebuilds it from nothing, with notation a 12-year-old can follow.
No slides. No jargon. 1 piece of chalk.
An ML engineer I know paused it 4 times and made his whole team watch it before standup.
You're 62 years late. The lecture is still free.
