EU leaders express their dismay over Trump's "ridiculous diesel deal" (Dutch PM Jetten) with Putin, financing the Russian war effort.
[The EU is still importing LNG - end date 1 January 2027 - and nuclear fuel & uranium - no end date set - from Russia, btw]

Afgrijzen in Europa over handelen ‘onvoorspelbare bondgenoot’ Trump: ‘Hij helpt de agressor’
Europese leiders reageren met afgrijzen op de hernieuwde tegenwerking van Oekraïne door Donald Trump. Aan de vooravond van een belangrijke top ziet Brussel dat Trump Rusland opnieuw een handje helpt, terwijl Europa alle zeilen bij moet zetten om Oekraïne overeind te houden.

I keep beating this drum, but...
It's.... Interesting that we're having an entire conversation about "AI alignment" when Sam Altman and Darius Amodei have flat out said that their goal is to make paperclips out of everything even if the human race goes extinct in the process.
Oh I'm sorry, dollars. They're making dollars, not paperclips. That changes everything, clearly.
...
What's more insidious is that even if you Luigi'd Altman and Amodei tomorrow, OpenAI and Anthropic would happily elect new leaders and continue with business as usual. There is no shortage of humans willing to step up and run the paperclip machines and who have the same misalignment issue (they're not actually a large percentage of humans, mind, but there are plenty of them). So the thing you have you defeat in order to stop the paperclipization is in fact a corporation (and the idea that wealth makes right behind it), not a human.
It's almost as if we're *already* locked in an existential battle with an inhuman entity whose effective goals are dangerously misaligned by nature... 🤔
...
I wonder if the same techniques used to defeat the entity already threatening us would work against the hypothetical threat it's waving around to distract us? Only one way to find out!
