Him and his friends bought the .si domains a few months ago. Now they’re trying to cash in. Hope this helps.
I have no idea why renaming AI is so bizarrely important to Trump. Nobody cares about the name he chose. Nobody is using it or will use it. And it’s not even technically accurate because “super intelligence” already had an agreed upon, widely adopted definition. This is the weirdest political hill to die on. It gains you nothing. Not a single ordinary American in the country, anywhere, cares deeply about making sure people say “SI” instead of “AI.” We are days away from a major election and this bullshit is the focus? Just baffling.

Yksi kansalaisaloitteemme perusteluista. Kuparia tarvitaan tykistöammuksiin - arviolta 0,5 kg / ammus. Viron tiedustelun mukaan Venäjä tuotti vuonna 2025 n. 7 miljoonaa ammusta, kranaattia ja rakettia. Venäjä tarvitsee siis miljoonia kiloja kuparia vuodessa. Suomesta vietiin Venäjälle 100 000 t kuparisakkaa vuosina 2022-2025. Tämä kaupankäynti täytyy lopettaa.

Putin has lost a friend who let RT work from Belgrade after the EU banned it, and who invited Russia's FSB to investigate his own police. 🧵[1/8] Here is why Putin will miss Aleksandar Vučić after Serbians voted him out.

🔴 I am the only foreign journalist reporting from Kherson at this moment so I will be doing updates from the ground throughout the day. As of 09:00, the enemy adheres to the regime of silence 1/2

Se fosse honesto, tinha aberto o sigilo. Se fosse honesto, não fugia. Eu falei e repito: Flávio queria ser eleito para não ser preso, não para governar o Brasil.

In this week’s installment of The Wuhan Mystery, I start digging into the many oddities surrounding EcoHealth Alliance and WIV, and why their research on coronaviruses presented a major headache for NIH and NIAID. I also describe and criticize the politicized efforts to frame the wet market as the source when, more than a year into the pandemic, the lab leak theory refused to die.  Next week, I will go deeper into how the politicization of the search for Covids origins also permeated the Intelligence Community.

This chart is insane. This shows Russia's casualties over time compared to Russia's territorial gains in Ukraine over the last five years. No sane or rational person would say continuing the war to try and take more of Ukraine's territory is worth the casualties.

Musk’s interview went great: Reporter: What is your thought on the ban of foreign students, you were one of those kids, right? Musk: “I think we want to stick to talking about spaceships.” Reporter: I was told that any topic is good. Musk: “Well no.”

The MAGA influencers weren't enough to save Putin's favorite candidate in the Serbian elections. Vucic has just conceded.

Is RaTG13 a "yes see'em" reverse genetics system? It rather comprehensively fails the "is it natural" test that SARS-CoV-2 itself passed, which was based on estimating where the BsaI/BsmBI sites should be based on recombination and mutational drift...

This is demonstrably true. Previously, each Vatnik Soup thread received between 300k and 5M impressions. Now, we're lucky if we get 100k. Our annual views have dropped from 700M to 280M. Posts about Ukraine shared by accounts with millions of followers barely get any traction, whereas our more generic posts about AI, for example, can get millions of views. Ukraine is still one of the hottest topics on this platform, yet voices supporting the country are being throttled, just like Starlink/Starshield was.
Elon Musk has done to x what he did to starlink. That’s why pro Ukraine posts get almost no coverage

The US is willing to betray its closest allies in Europe, a market of 450 million people and an economy worth nearly $20 trillion, just to cut shady, corrupt deals with Putin's Russia, an economy roughly the size of Italy's. What an absolutely insane foreign policy.

Elon, you absolute fucking moron. The Nazis were far-right fascists who destroyed labor unions, persecuted communists and socialists, and murdered political opponents. Hitler literally purged the party’s left wing. Calling Nazis socialists because of their name is like believing North Korea is democratic because it calls itself the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Imagine being the richest man alive and still being too fucking stupid to understand history at a middle-school level. Money can buy you a platform, Elon. Apparently, it can’t buy you a functioning brain.
Hitler was a far left socialist. Literally in the name of his party!

🧵A Russian governor accused Ukraine of "particular cynicism" for bombing an Iskander missile plant at 6 PM because workers were heading home. If a ballistic missile factory is off-limits when the shift ends, Russia expects total war to keep office hours. 1/🧵

6/ I’m sorry Mr Musk this all sounds a bit too far fetched and all a bit too late. The fact that normal service appears to have been resumed seems the most obvious counter to this weak and delayed excuse for the needless loss of life over the last week or so.
