I'm always mildly surprised when scientists are suddenly suprised that animals other than humans and great apes could be intelligent. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/jan/19/back-scratching-cow-veronika-bovine-intelligence
The scientific article in @CurrentBiology https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(25)01597-0
I recommend Frans de Waals book "Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?" His lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O4kpSGRm7E

Ai, Japanese chimpanzee who counted and painted dies at 49

Anthropomorphizing language can be cute when applied to your favorite car, but it helps to muddy the discourse when applied to tech sold as "AI", especially given all the boosters and AGI-cult members peddling their nonsense about imminent artificial minds. New from me & Nanna Inie on Tech Policy Press -- how to spot & revise away from anthropomorphizing language applied to "AI":
https://www.techpolicy.press/we-need-to-talk-about-how-we-talk-about-ai/
@emilymbender Excellent article.
At the moment, I am wondering why this #anthropomorphizing #AI is going viral at a time when many people are #alienated from #nature, attribute little or no #intelligence to animals, or ridicule the environmental personhood of nature.
We are quicker to attribute personality to an LLM than to a wild boar; we attribute non-existent intelligence to machines, but not to a bee (who undoubtedly demonstrates a kind of intelligence).
What does that say about us humans?
Now he’s back to insane asylums sending mental patients to the #US.
The man does not know the difference between “seeking asylum” & an “insane asylum”. #Trump is such a fucking moron.

#Trump has offered NO details about what the #US running #Venezuela looks like. Will there be an US official there in a leadership position?
As he justifies the #military operation, Trump argued that #Maduro sent members of Tren de Aragua to the US to terrorize the US. Trump’s own #intelligence community earlier this year debunked that claim, finding that the gang was not controlled by the Venezuelan govt.

AI Must Die!
Critical Perspectives on the State of Artificial Intelligence
AI MUST DIE is a short zine by Myke Walton and Cam Smith that presents critical perspectives on the way that AI is talked about, governed, and owned in 2025.
AI is fucking everywhere: at work, at school, in our homes, in our phones, on our streets, in our governments, and at war. We are living through an era of extreme AI hype. In this climate, some people have gotten rich off of the stolen data and stolen labor that fuels these technologies. Others have been surveilled, oppressed, exploited, and killed. This text presents a short, practical guide to the technologies currently called “AI,” the ideologies and actors pouring gasoline on the AI dumpsterfire, and what we can do about it.
...
How long will this go on? When will the hype cycle end? Is another AI winter coming? Faced with an inhumane tech industry and complicit governments it may ultimately fall to the people to invent new ways to evade, refuse, resist, sabotage or otherwise destroy AI.
Hammers up! AI Must Die!
Seize the means of computation
Read the full zine here: https://www.aimustdie.info/
@asrg Even if I laugh about the very ironic title (they clearly write that #AI is *no* existence or #intelligence that could die), this #zine is a good compilation for critical questions to ask and for thinking about #AIEthics and rules. A first starter for #activism.

The Art of Pivoting - Techniques for Intelligence Analysts to Discover New Relationships in a Complex World
This open source book explores how intelligence and cyber-security analysts can uncover hidden links between threat actor infrastructure and ongoing investigations by pivoting on both classic and unconventional indicators — many of which are often overlooked. The material is grounded in empirical, field-tested strategies used in cyber-security, digital forensics, cyber threat intelligence, and intelligence analysis more broadly.
I released the first version of this book following the @firstdotorg CTI Conference 2025 in Berlin, where the initial idea for the project emerged.

Japan is moving to create a National Intelligence Bureau as part of a broader effort to break down intelligence silos, strengthen information protection and modernize its intelligence system. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/14/japan/japans-planned-intelligence-bureau/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #defense #intelligence #sanaetakaichi #nationalintelligencebureau #nationalsecuritysecretariat #nationalsecuritycouncil #liberaldemocraticparty #japaninnovationparty #shinzoabe #fiveeyes
Are more reflective thinkers better at games that require empathy or perspective-taking?
In two experiments, reflective thinkers performed better on such games, seemingly because they paid more attention to the other players' incentives.

Chimpanzees show genuine reasoning and metacognition — the ability to weigh evidence, update beliefs and judge what they do or don’t know — while current AI systems do not. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/09/world/what-chimps-think-of-ai/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #chimpanzees #primates #artificialintelligence #ai #intelligence
