The 500-Million-Year-Old Refutation of Artificial Intelligence
A brain structure has persisted for 500 million years across fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. The basal ganglia should tell us something fundamental about intelligence itself. Yet when viewed through the computational lens, it makes no sense at all. The problem isn't the basal ganglia. The problem is that

#Trump has turned ICE into a sprawling paramilitary that roves the country at will, (...), and has been told that it enjoys “absolute immunity.” He more than doubled the agency’s size in 2025, and its budget is now larger than those of all other federal law-enforcement agencies combined, and larger than the entire military budgets of all but 15 countries.

Multi-Sensor Trajectory Reconstruction of the 24 April 2025 Alaska #Fireball and Implications for Planetary Defense: https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.22630 -> "On 24 April 2025 at 18:30:57 UTC, a bright daytime fireball over Southcentral Alaska was detected by 37 seismic stations, 16 single infrasound sensors, and four infrasound arrays, yielding 30 ballistic and multiple fragmentation arrivals. The unprecedented density of seismoacoustic coverage enabled detailed reconstruction of the event using acoustic signals, with fragmentation source locations further guiding the identification of Doppler weather radar signatures of a meteorite fall. Incorporation of a radar-derived terminal point yielded a final trajectory solution, which agreed closely with an independent optical trajectory solution from video analysis. [...] This uniquely well-recorded event demonstrates the capability of dense seismoacoustic networks to constrain bolide trajectories, energetics, and fragmentation, with radar and optical data providing critical confirmation and complementary perspectives."

As the government continues to pursue mass deportations, Section 111 of Title 18 of the U.S. Code has become a favored tool of the Justice Department for painting opposition to immigration enforcement as a corrosive, lawless force.
