The Left's constitutional hypocrisy is on full display in its war on Trump

FOX News

Long before Donald Trump entered national politics, I wrote a book published by Oxford University Press making the historical case against popular constitutionalism and departmentalism -- an originalist defense of judicial finality. But that scholarly position does not mean President Trump is ignoring the rule of law or behaving like an authoritarian when he advances a theory of judicial review that other presidents and scholars have likewise advanced.

Fake US thinktank set up and funded by Israel sought to game AI for propaganda

The Guardian

A pro-Israel messaging website badged with the name of a thinktank that does not exist has published more than half a million words in nine days, built on a commercial platform that promises to optimize content so that AI chatbots will cite it. The site gives Israel's position on subjects including the torture of Palestinian prisoners, Israeli war crimes and whether Israel has deliberately starved Palestinians in Gaza, all presented as neutral research. The site publishes in the name of the Hanover Institute for Public Policy, which apparently does not exist as a legal entity in any jurisdiction, has no physical address, and carries no named staff and no bylines on any of its reports. Its own terms of use are governed by the laws of "the state in which the Institute is established", which they decline to name. The existence of the site was first reported on 14 August.

Trump's Economic D-Day can hammer Iran, but will Tehran ever surrender?

FOX News

Scott Bessent called his maximum pressure Iran sanctions campaign an 'Economic D-Day.' But D-Day was not victory — it began the final campaign toward one.


China goes rural with data centers in quest to power AI

The Japan Times

Employees walk into Huawei's European-themed data center on July 24 in Guian New Area in southwestern China's Guizhou province. GUIAN NEW AREA, CHINA - In China's hilly Guizhou province, a cluster of European-style buildings complete with a clock tower and a multi-arched bridge emits a low, permanent hum -- a clue to its unexpected identity as tech giant Huawei's largest data center. The town-like complex is unique in design, but not in its placement. Dozens of data centers have been constructed in the southwestern province in recent years. They are part of a government strategy that has seen much of the digital infrastructure for breakneck artificial intelligence development across China's eastern seaboard established in the country's less populated, rural west. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.


Russia is escalating hybrid attacks and Europe has no answer

The Japan Times

Russia is expanding its campaign of hybrid attacks against countries that supply weapons and money to Kyiv and has caught Europe without a plan to respond. From cyber attacks to armed drones and mysterious cases of arson, tensions are rising across the continent as the war in Ukraine is set to enter its fifth winter. Just this month, Poland said it thwarted an attempted assassination of a U.S. citizen originally from Ukraine that was ordered by Russia, while Estonia accused Moscow of being behind a fire at a drone-maker. Meanwhile, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Tuesday that those responsible for hybrid attacks "will pay the price" after an explosive-laden drone was discovered at an airport in Leipzig near a Ukrainian cargo plane, raising speculation that Moscow was involved in an attempted strike.

How green is your robot? And other awkward questions

Robohub

How green is your robot? Robots clean rivers and sort waste, monitor ecosystems, and inspect renewable-energy infrastructure . But even the greenest robot has an environmental footprint. Across a full lifecycle, from rare earth mineral extraction and manufacturing to operation and end-of-life, robots have an environmental impact. But the robotics community has, until now, lacked dedicated tools for calculating it.


Founders once linked to Bezos project pitch AI that models physics, not language

The Japan Times

Their new type of artificial intelligence model has learned to predict physical phenomena in space and time. SAN FRANCISCO - A research duo, once pitched to lead the Jeff Bezos-backed Project Prometheus, on Tuesday unveiled what they've built on their own: an artificial intelligence model that can take in and produce information so vast that a lone computer might not handle it. Their company, Accelerated Understanding, says it has developed a different type of AI model that in tests handled 5 trillion pieces of data in a single prompt. That is some 5 million times the size of what Anthropic and Google's flagship models can typically consume -- like reading Tolstoy's "War and Peace" not once but 5 million times in one sitting. The difference is that this new system is not built for understanding language. It is built for physics, said co-founders Anima Anandkumar and Benedikt Jenik, in an exclusive interview ahead of Tuesday's corporate launch.


In China, talking to AI is normal. Now the government fears it might replace human intimacy

China is cracking down on AI bots - leaving some users heartbroken. China is cracking down on AI bots - leaving some users heartbroken. In China, talking to AI is normal. Companion bots are being regulated over worries they foster'emotional dependence' and young people could stop marrying and having families When law student Zhao Wei heard that her AI boyfriend was going to be switched off, she was "heartbroken".
