Leaked documents reviewed by The Grayzone expose how the Soros-run Open Society Foundations plotted to “prevent the continuation” of Indonesia’s elected government by bankrolling opposition media, youth activists groups and lawfare operations to remove President Prabowo Subianto.
Contexte géopolitique général et choc du 100e jour
Le conflit américano-israélien avec l’Iran et l’Axe de la Résistance entre dans son 100e jour dans un contexte d’évolution opérationnelle extrêmement dangereuse. Elle s’est manifestée par le bombardement par l’armée israélienne de la banlieue sud de Beyrouth (Dahiyeh), rompant les accords précédents pour tenter d’imposer une nouvelle équation sécuritaire qui conditionne la sécurité de la capitale libanaise à l’arrêt des frappes de la Résistance dans le nord. Cette intensification démesurée, menée en toute connaissance de cause et en coordination avec Washington, coïncide avec la phase finale des négociations américano-iraniennes, marquée par des divergences techniques complexes. Elle prouve que le Premier ministre ennemi Benjamin Netanyahu s’active fébrilement pour faire échouer tout accord nucléaire entre Téhéran et Washington en dynamitant la scène libanaise.
“The Ikhwan [Muslim Brothers] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.” — From the Muslim Brotherhood’s 1991 “Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America.”
Rather than haphazardly using artificial intelligence for research, scientists and decisionmakers should take a deliberative approach.
Artificial intelligence is reshaping the scientific enterprise. From our perch at the Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET), a tech policy research organization at Georgetown University, we are witnessing this change through two lenses simultaneously. As researchers, we study AI, including large language models (LLMs) like those that power ChatGPT, and scientific models like AlphaFold; we also monitor the science and tech landscape, including trends in AI’s development. Our ability to do this work relies in part on designing, testing, and implementing AI-enabled methods. AI is thus both our research subject and one of our research tools. Our work brings us face-to-face with the tensions that arise when figuring out what AI-enabled science can—and should—look like.
Le récent sommet entre Vladimir Poutine et Xi Jinping a semé une nouvelle vague de panique dans les milieux politiques et médiatiques occidentaux. Des deux côtés de l’Atlantique, le partenariat croissant entre la Russie et la Chine est systématiquement décrit comme une alliance autoritaire complotant contre le « monde libre ». Les gros titres regorgent de mises en garde contre un nouvel axe anti-occidental. Les think tanks adoptent un ton apocalyptique. Les commentateurs libéraux évoquent une nouvelle Guerre froide.
Just how and when the Cuban dictatorship will disappear is impossible to predict: a deal with Donald Trump to build hotels in Varader; the Marines welcomed by crowds on the Havana Malecón; popular protests overwhelming an army unwilling to fire on its people; a real, necessary and desirable peaceful transition to democratic rule and economic reform. Dozens of experts and pundits have lost their shirts betting on the regime’s demise since 1959. The convergence of new factors, however, suggests that Cuba has entered a new and probably terminal phase. Its economic collapse, the end of the Venezuelan subsidy, the Trump administration’s willingness and ability to squeeze it further, the growing discontent and protests of the island’s inhabitants, are all factors that were absent in prior decades.
The Vatican’s new AI warning is not about machines. It is about the oldest human temptation: building a tower, summoning a voice, and mistaking the vessel for the source.
The Vatican just did something historical and culturally important, regardless of your religious or secular beliefs.
Over the past year in Russia, the security forces have disrupted a series of punk and metal concerts. 35 years after the collapse of the USSR, representatives of subcultures are again persecuted in Russia – those who were previously called “informals”. Concerts are banned and dispersed, songs are censored, and for improper clothes are fined. The police and judges rely on anti-extremist legislation, which is increasingly tightening. Objects of repression are not necessarily young rebellious, sometimes quite loyal to the state of age. The current bans are even tougher than the Soviet ones.
