It predicts that the population, currently around 37.5 million, will drop to 25.6 million by 2100. That is almost four million less than forecast three years ago.

I feel the need to note, hubris is *really commonly* misused in English.-
Hubris (ὕβρις) is not just arrogance or pride, but rather it is an *action* (there's a verb, ῠ̔βρῐ́ζω) - an insult or affront to an equal or superior designed to humiliate them which is born out of excessive arrogance or pride.

It’s been said before, but the extent to which the academic, cultural, professional and pedagogical world was already governed in a way amenable for LLMs to succeed, well before LLMs existed, gets far too overlooked.

Another crazy thing is that this doesn't really seem like a joint operation but rather two separate tangentially related forces attacking the same enemy. It all sounds like there isn't really any command over this.

there has never been a more fully globalist movement than the modern far right. a relatively small conspiracy in favor of racists, pedos, and criminals all over the world
French judge explains how Trump sent people from the US Embassy to try to intimidate her during Marine Le Pen's trial for embezzlement — and details how he has used similar fascistic tactics to intimidate other judges around the world who rule against his alt-right friends.

NEW from me:
Job growth has been functionally zero over the last five months, as the US sinks from a “low hire, low fire” labor market to a “no hire” one.
That slowdown is hitting young & low income workers the hardest 🧵

more and more I am convinced a good share of why Trump 2 is so much worse than before is because of what Elon did to Twitter. it's like those group chats where people gassed themselves up to join ISIS, scaled up a millionfold
