En Iran et en Ukraine, l’enjeu — ce pour quoi on se bat et ce contre quoi on se bat — est un rééquilibrage des pouvoirs qui s’avérera d’une ampleur historique mondiale lorsqu’il sera enfin accompli.

Putting the Calamity Makers in Charge: Anthropic and Claude Mythos Preview

Be wary of a company – any company – who exerts moral muscle as they create software and digital platforms that are injurious and simultaneously lauded for curing that injury. Be especially wary of Anthropic. With sagacious loftiness, it warns of the disabling dangers of the artificial intelligence (AI) frontier.

Théocratie vs démocratie

Introduction
Cette analyse propose une lecture comparative de deux discours politiques, en se concentrant sur leur structure et leur cohérence interne.

C’est dans cette perspective que s’inscrit cette lecture : non pour juger la vérité des propos, mais pour en examiner la cohérence interne – leur capacité à s’organiser, à se soutenir et à produire un ensemble intelligible.
