What we've been getting wrong about AI's truth crisis Even when content is revealed to be manipulated, it still shapes our beliefs. The defenders of truth are hopelessly behind. What would it take to convince you that the era of truth decay we were long warned about--where AI content dupes us, shapes our beliefs even when we catch the lie, and erodes societal trust in the process--is now here? A story I published last week pushed me over the edge. It also made me realize that the tools we were sold as a cure for this crisis are failing miserably. On Thursday, I reported the first confirmation that the US Department of Homeland Security, which houses immigration agencies, is using AI video generators from Google and Adobe to make content that it shares with the public.

Billie Eilish and Bad Bunny were among the celebrities who used their Grammy Awards acceptance speeches to criticize Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Sen. John Fetterman said government shutdown won't affect ICE funding as Democrats and Republicans negotiate over immigration enforcement reforms amid ongoing budget talks.

President Donald Trump blasted the Grammy Awards as "virtually unwatchable" and threatened legal action against host Trevor Noah over a "defamatory" Jeffrey Epstein jab.

Ukraine hails'real results' after Musk restricts Russian Starlink use Elon Musk's efforts to stop Russia from using Starlink satellites for drone attacks have delivered real results, a Ukrainian official said. Praising the SpaceX founder as a true champion of freedom and a true friend of the Ukrainian people, defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov said Musk had swiftly responded when he was told Russian drones with Starlink connectivity were operating in the country. The drones have been linked to a number of recent deadly attacks by Russia on Ukraine, including one on a moving passenger train which left six people dead. Looks like the steps we took to stop the unauthorised use of Starlink by Russia have worked, Musk wrote on X. Let us know if more needs to be done.

Zelenskyy warns of'logistics terror' as Russia hits Ukraine railway President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he has ordered Ukraine's military leaders to respond after a spate of Russian attacks targeting railway infrastructure and logistics routes. His comments on Monday come after Russian forces stepped up attacks, including on a train last week that killed five people in a railway car in the eastern region of Kharkiv. Russian forces have prioritised the capture of train hubs, such as Kupiansk and Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine. "The Russian army remains focused on terror against our logistics - primarily railway infrastructure," Zelenskyy said in a post on social media. "In particular there were strikes in the Dnipro region and in Zaporizhzhia, specifically targeting railway facilities."

Elon Musk tells people to skip retirement savings because AI will make money irrelevant, but this advice is dangerous for everyday Americans who expect to retire.

Do You Feel the AGI Yet? According to some predictions, 2026 is the year that an all-powerful AI will arrive. H undreds of billions of dollars have been poured into the AI industry in pursuit of a loosely defined goal: artificial general intelligence, a system powerful enough to perform at least as well as a human at any task that involves thinking. Will this be the year it finally arrives? Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and xAI CEO Elon Musk think so.
