Many of the people who complain about Trump's authoritarianism are notably silent about his vendetta against Ilhan Omar. What's up with that? thenation.com/article/politi…

No, Mr. Altman. We won’t accept a severe AI cyberattack in exchange for “liberty.” 74% of the American people don’t trust Big Tech Oligarchs. And for good reason. Sam Altman, the co-founder of OpenAI, recently said: “There is a coming tidal wave of cybersecurity problems that are going to come from these open source [AI] models … We're going to, as a society, I think, have to just accept some fairly severe cyber incidents from open [AI] models, in exchange for the liberty that comes with that." Mr. Altman: What do you mean by that? Should we “accept” a global financial breakdown and massive economic pain if AI models hack into the international banking system? Should we “accept” patients dying if hospitals are forced to shut down because AI models hack into the power grid causing massive blackouts? Should we “accept” another Chernobyl if AI models hack into nuclear power plants? No, Mr. Altman. The American people are not willing to accept disaster “in exchange for the liberty” of making Big Tech Oligarchs even richer and more powerful. Let me be clear: The creators of any AI model — open-source or not — are not above the law. If you and other Big Tech Oligarchs make products that commit crimes or disasters, we will hold you accountable for breaking the law — no matter how much wealth and power you have. We must PAUSE advanced AI and permanently BAN artificial superintelligence before it is too late.

Socialist writer Charles Fourier died on this day 188 years ago. Nearly two centuries later, his insightful, outlandish, yet oddly practical ideas still seem shockingly modern.

Eric Hobsbawm was in Berlin when Adolf Hitler took power, in Paris at the Popular Front’s peak, and in the Communist Party when it all came down. Emile Chabal's new biography follows a historian who always asked what remained possible after defeat. jacobin.com/2026/10/hobsbawm…

Norway has become the first major country to propose a temporary ban on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) glasses in selected public places amid growing privacy concerns over wearable technology. The Scandinavian country’s centre-left government said on Monday that it would introduce a law to parliament soon on a temporary ban for places such as parks, beaches, schools and kindergartens. It will also set up an expert group to propose permanent national rules. irishtimes.com/business/2026…

For this week's 'Glimpse into the Archive', I share the transcript of a debate in the House of Lords. The question? 'Why Tariq Ali, a native of a foreign country and a self-confessed worker for the destruction of our system of government, was given a British passport'. tariqali1943.substack.com/p/…
