Ah, FFOTUS' judicial appointments reach the bottom of the barrel - even Bork was far better as a judge and more ethical.

Ex-Trump lawyer Emil Bove, a top Justice Department official, is picked to be federal judge
President Donald Trump says he's nominating his former criminal defense lawyer Emil Bove to become a federal appeals court judge. As a high-ranking Justice Department official, Bove was behind the controversial move to drop the corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams as well as some of the agency’s most scrutinized actions since Trump’s return to the White House in January. Trump has picked Bove to fill a vacancy on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which hears cases fro…

OSS-UAgent: An Agent-based Usability Evaluation Framework for Open Source Software
Usability evaluation is critical to the impact and adoption of open source software (OSS), yet traditional methods relying on human evaluators suffer from high costs and limited scalability. To address these limitations, we introduce OSS-UAgent, an automated, configurable, and interactive agent-based usability evaluation framework specifically designed for open source software. Our framework employs intelligent agents powered by large language models (LLMs) to simulate developers performing pro…

Auditing for Bias in Ad Delivery Using Inferred Demographic Attributes
Auditing social-media algorithms has become a focus of public-interest research and policymaking to ensure their fairness across demographic groups such as race, age, and gender in consequential domains such as the presentation of employment opportunities. However, such demographic attributes are often unavailable to auditors and platforms. When demographics data is unavailable, auditors commonly infer them from other available information. In this work, we study the effects of inference error …

Emergent social conventions and collective bias in LLM populations
Social conventions are the backbone of social coordination, shaping how individuals form a group. As growing populations of artificial intelligence (AI) agents communicate through natural language, a fundamental question is whether they can bootstrap the foundations of a society. Here, we present experimental results that demonstrate the spontaneous emergence of universally adopted social conventions in decentralized populations of large language model (LLM) agents. We then show how strong coll…

From Connectivity to Autonomy: The Dawn of Self-Evolving Communication Systems
This paper envisions 6G as a self-evolving telecom ecosystem, where AI-driven intelligence enables dynamic adaptation beyond static connectivity. We explore the key enablers of autonomous communication systems, spanning reconfigurable infrastructure, adaptive middleware, and intelligent network functions, alongside multi-agent collaboration for distributed decision-making. We explore how these methodologies align with emerging industrial IoT frameworks, ensuring seamless integration within digi…

New Guardian documentary
Stand up comedy helps heal a Catholic parish: Fox Chase Boy
An altar boy at St Cecilia Catholic church in north-east Philadelphia when, at age 11, he became one of the victims of paedophile James Brzyski.
He has developed a one-man stage show that he performs to his close-knit parish. He speaks directly about a crime cloaked in silence.

The Agentic Economy
Generative AI has transformed human-computer interaction by enabling natural language interfaces and the emergence of autonomous agents capable of acting on users' behalf. While early applications have improved individual productivity, these gains have largely been confined to predefined tasks within existing workflows. We argue that the more profound economic impact lies in reducing communication frictions between consumers and businesses. This shift could reorganize markets, redistribute powe…

Topological Structure Learning Should Be A Research Priority for LLM-Based Multi-Agent Systems
Large Language Model-based Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) have emerged as a powerful paradigm for tackling complex tasks through collaborative intelligence. Nevertheless, the question of how agents should be structurally organized for optimal cooperation remains largely unexplored. In this position paper, we aim to gently redirect the focus of the MAS research community toward this critical dimension: develop topology-aware MASs for specific tasks. Specifically, the system consists of three core co…
