"In the budget speech this year, commission president Ursula von der Leyen made a bold statement that AI is expected to approach human reasoning by next year."
Die Nächste, nach (bzw. vor) Wildberger.

Von der Leyen caught in AI hype trap while Tech bros cash in
Ursula von der Leyen and the EU Commission are fueling the AI hype, claiming AI could reach human-level reasoning next year. When asked for evidence, they cited tech CEOs’ essays, prompting scientists’ angry letter on Monday, urging her to retract her "unscientific statement," writes Kris Shrishak, one of the letter's signatories.

Right now in Budapest, these posters are hanging everywhere, claiming that "they" would raise taxes and throw our money at a Ukrainian golden toilet.
Yet #Hungary is clearly a net beneficiary of the #EU, receiving billions in funding every year and paying in significant…

This is a large political poster on a street. On it, three well-known people are photoshopped: on the left Ursula von der Leyen, in the middle Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and on the right Péter Magyar. All three are tipping bags of money into an open golden toilet bowl, which already contains many banknotes.
The Hungarian text reads approximately:
"Ők adókat emelnek, és ukrán aranybudira költik a pénzed."
Literally translated: "They raise taxes and spend your money on a Ukrainian gold toilet."
The mes…

Just finished "The Word for World is Forest" by Ursula K. Le Guin. Can't believe I didn't read this one earlier, and this strengthens my resolve to finish off the rest of her stuff I have yet to read sooner. I think it benefits somewhat from having read it after "Four Ways to Forgiveness" which gives more of the Hainish context. Certainly none of the blurbs I had read about it did it any measure of justice, which is one reason I hadn't prioritized it. More than being about colonization, it's about a solution to the paradox of tolerance, and both the price and imperfections of that solution. As usual with Le Guin's science fiction, it's a rich companion to anarchist thought.
I think the typical objection to seeing it as an answer to the warlord question would be that it serendipitously positions the indigenous population with more power and a less ruthless opponent than in the imagined scenario, and it uses the League of Worlds as a sort of deus ex machina to foreclose further retribution. Ultimately that's why I think it's more about the paradox of tolerance than anything else, but I also think in regards to the warlord problem that we are too quick to underestimate just how numerous and enthusiastic the opponents of a warlord might be, and to overestimate the strength of technological weapons wielded by frail (and psychologically unarmored) humans.
In any case, Le Guin gives this book's alien humans yet another fascinatingly credible capability, and getting to see the introduction of ansible technology with all its implications is pretty cool too. Maybe not
