A serious question (rather than dumping on this poor woman). Can school teach the minimum amount of critical thinking, so that there are not too many people who think like this? And if so, how?
Oh god. I wish I hadn’t seen this.

Depressingly unsurpising.
NEW: Our reporting found the recent Starlink outage in Ukraine could be part of an elaborate upsell. When U.S. officials asked Musk's company about it, they were told the problem could be fixed by upgrading to a new contract. @isaacstanbecker @TheAtlantic theatlantic.com/national-sec…

- H Ισπανία είχε λιγότερα από 1500 χιλιόμετρα δίκτυο υπερταχέων σιδηροδρόμων πριν αρχίσει η ελληνική κρίση. - Έχει σχεδόν 4000 χλμ. δικτύου σήμερα.

Small South European economies are undergoing the largest and fastest public debt reduction episodes in recent history based on sound fiscal policies and strong growth, not financial repression or inflation. One for the history books. 🇬🇷🇵🇹🇨🇾🇭🇷
Govt debt-to-GDP ratios 2020 -> 2026 (% of GDP): 🇬🇷 213% -> 137% 🇮🇹 158% -> 138% 🇵🇹 137% -> 87% 🇫🇷 118% -> 120% 🇨🇾 118% -> 49% (among the lowest) 🇧🇪 115% -> 112% 🇸🇮 85% -> 65% 🇫🇮 73% -> 90% 🇸🇰 58% -> 65% 🇭🇷 88% -> 54% Same currency and fiscal rules. Very different outcomes.

I had the pleasure of meeting @federalreserve Governor Kevin Warsh at the #IMFMeetings in Bangkok. Our economies are deeply interconnected. By sharing our experiences and working together, we can better navigate today’s challenges and ensure a more stable global economy.

We're publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date. It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them. We disrupted every operation in the report, and used the lessons from them to strengthen our safeguards. Where appropriate, we also shared what we found with authorities and other AI companies. These cases are not typical: we’re highlighting some of the most sophisticated misuse we’ve seen. But they’re especially important to discuss, because they show us where AI misuse is headed, where our safeguards work, and where they need to improve. We’re publishing this report so others can spot the same activity on their own platforms, and so we can give the public a clearer view of how emerging threats develop.
