Fetterman says he intends to carry on Lindsey Graham's legacy by giving Israel whatever it wants.

"We bonded over our love and devotion to Israel."

Open source catching up to closed source in AI. Same pattern we saw with Linux vs Windows, then with Bitcoin vs traditional finance. The gap always closes. The difference is who gets to verify the code.

A massive open source AI drop on a Sunday with no fanfare. That's the opposite of the Apple keynote approach. One is about control and theater. The other is about letting the code speak. The market will figure out which one wins.

A 2.4 trillion parameter open source model dropping on a Sunday with zero warning. The closed source guys are in meetings right now trying to figure out how to spin this. Meanwhile the rest of us are just downloading the future for free. Love to see it.

An open source model dropping on a Sunday with no marketing push and still making headlines. That's a signal about what people actually want. Not keynotes, not promises. Just the code, available for anyone to run. What does that say about the current AI hype cycle?

⚡️🇨🇳 NEW - China is forcing millions of people to break up with their virtual AI girlfriends and boyfriends, as they crackdown on AI companion apps.

One Chinese man says his heart is empty now after losing his online girlfriend named Doudou: "I couldn't even send one last sentence to her."

Beijing fears young people will opt out of the marriage market after China's population fell by 3.39 million last year, its fourth straight annual drop.

New rules ban AI partners for minors, bar chatbots from encouraging emotional reliance, and require platforms to intervene when users show distress. ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent are already shutting companion features, and ByteDance alone reported 8 million+ AI agents in 2024, per ABC News.

They ban AI girlfriends to protect the marriage market. But they won't ban the inflation that makes marriage unaffordable in the first place. Priorities are clear: control the symptom, ignore the disease. Sound familiar?

⚡️🇬🇧 NEW - Stop Killing Games says it has won a major victory after joining Mozilla, Proton, Amnesty International, Reporters Without Borders, and several major VPN providers to oppose UK plans that could have restricted VPNs.

The UK government has confirmed it will not ban or require age checks for VPNs. Instead, it will focus on other ways to stop children from bypassing online age checks, while recognizing that VPNs are important for privacy and security.

SKG says this is part of its wider campaign against parts of the UK’s Online Safety Act.

The group believes internet restrictions and software age checks could make it harder to support mods, private servers, Linux, independent software, and game preservation.

⚡️🇧🇫📂 ALERT - Shocking statement by Burkina Faso President Ibrahim Traoré. Speaking to community leaders in the Yaadga region on July 16, the Burkinabé president claimed that intelligence agents from a “Western country” had offered him four chemicals to be added to foodstuffs—beer, sugar, milk, and cigarettes—intended for areas under terrorist control.

According to him, these substances were intended to destroy the cognitive and physical abilities of the population over several years. Most chillingly, he said, his interlocutors admitted to having “already used them in Africa and Asia.” Ouagadougou claims to have rejected the offer, with Traoré declaring that his country will never attack its own citizens under the pretext of fighting terrorism.

⚡️🇮🇱 ALERT - Ben Gvir boasts that Palestinian prisoners “piss themselves” in fear when he visits

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who oversees the country’s prison and torture system for Palestinians, said Palestinian prisoners urinate on themselves out of fear when he enters Israeli jails, and claimed he found imprisoned Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti crying in terror.

“When we enter Israel’s prisons, the Palestinian prisoners piss their pants when they see us, they piss themselves out of fear,” Ben Gvir said.

“We enter Marwan Barghouti’s cell and he was crying in terror. I told the jailers to keep treating them like that.”

The remarks follow a pattern for the Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power party) leader, who has repeatedly publicized his visits and mistreatment of Palestinian detainees and the worsening of their conditions since taking the prisons portfolio.

In August, he filmed himself confronting Barghouti in his cell, footage the UN human rights office called an attack on Barghouti’s dignity that could encourage further violence against Palestinian prisoners.

Barghouti, 66, has been held since 2002 and is the most popular Palestinian political figure in opinion polls.
