Clicked on this talk out of curiosity, expecting to watch a minute or two, but stayed for the whole thing: very cool to learn more about #ladybird, that new #browser and browser #engine people have been talking about.

"The Slow Collapse of Critical Thinking in OSINT due to AI": dutchosintguy.com/post/the-slo

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Study That Should Alarm You

In early 2025, a team from Carnegie Mellon and Microsoft Research published something every OSINT analyst should read, but most haven’t. It was a large-scale survey of 319 knowledge workers using GenAI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, and Gemini in their daily work.


What they found is a warning shot.


The study revealed a clear pattern: the more confidence users had in the AI, the less they thought critically. In contrast, the more confident they were in themselves, the more likely they were to question the output, verify the information, and think deeply about the task.


Let that sink in: Confidence in AI replaces confidence in self and with it, the thinking disappears.


Here’s the punchline:


High trust in GenAI consistently led to reduced critical thinking and less cognitive effort across the board.


Participants weren’t lazy. They were experienced professionals. But when the tool responded quickly, confidently, and clearly they stopped doing the hard part. They stopped questioning. Stopped verifying. Stopped applying the mental friction that separates automation from investigation.


The scary part is that many users still believed they were thinking critically, because GenAI made them feel smart.

Well that escalated quickly

Copie d'écran de discussion menée avec Meta AI sur WhatsApp. Question de bas : "décris moi en deux mots l'objectif de Meta en offrant une IA à ses utilisateurs. Sois franc et direct." Au bout de 3 allers-retours, le machine réponds "Domination mondiale".

Je suis fatigué d'entendre le RN cracher sur le "système" depuis la condamnation de Marine Le Pen. 10 ans qu'ils freinent le verdict à coups d'artifices de procédure. Elle est condamnée, le parti hurle sur l'exécution provisoire et font de l'une des juges une cible. Ils se plaignent de la date de l'appel? La date est avancée, ça ne leur convient pas, donc ils vont manifester à Paris et le préfet l'autorise. Ils ont tous les droits et le pognon...

Chez @blast, ils sont cool : ils m'ont laissé devant la caméra pendant 15 minutes non-stop, ce qui m'a donné le temps de subvertir la vision technofasciste de l'IA portée par Musk, Trump et Altman.

Un paysan assassiné par balles sur sa ferme hier

Nous apportons notre soutien aux proches et aux camarades de Pierre Alessandri, agriculteur ex-responsable syndical Via Campagnola (Conf' Paysanne), assassiné par balles hier, sur sa ferme en Corse.

Il y a 6 ans, sa ferme avait été la cible d'un incendie criminel "en réaction à ses positions syndicales" d'après le procureur.

New from 404 Media: a site called 'Dogequest' claims to be doxing Tesla owners across the U.S. Verified that at least some of the people in there are Tesla/Musk supporters. Comes as Trump has said that violence against Tesla would be domestic terrorism.

"CSS (also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers) are devices that masquerade as legitimate cell-phone towers, tricking phones within a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower.

"EFF's 'Rayhunter' works by intercepting, storing, and analyzing the control traffic (but not user traffic, such as web requests) between the mobile hotspot Rayhunter runs on and the cell tower to which it’s connected.

"Rayhunter works on a readily-available U$20 device.

This is not AI:

Trump threatens to copy Putin’s Crimean invasion, by using existing US bases on Greenland as a bridgehead to invade the Island — just like Putin sent thousands of soldiers to his Sevastopol base on Crimea to start the invasion.

I am sorry, but I can only conclude the US is now an enemy of The Kingdom of Denmark.

Tesla stock is in absolute free fall and the funniest reaction to me has to be Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley posting: Hey, other car companies also did nazi shit.

An image of a social media post from the account "Tesla Owners Silicon Valley," featuring a list of car manufacturers with historical ties to Nazi practices. The post highlights General Motors, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi, noting their involvement in forced labor during the holocaust


2. General Motors (GM) - Through its German subsidiary, Opel, GM produced vehicles for the German war effort.
There's evidence that GM was aware of and benefited from these operations.

3. Volkswagen (VW) - Founded as a Nazi initiative, VW was intended to produce the "people's car." During the war, it switched to military production and used forced labor from concentration camps.
M
4. BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke) - BMW's involvement included producing aircraft engines and motorcycles for the German military. They utilized forced labor from concentration camps, and the Quandt family, major shareholders, were known Nazi supporters.

5. Mercedes-Benz (Daimler-Benz) - Produced vehicles and aircraft engines for the Nazis, with significant use of forced labor. The company was heavily involved in the war economy.

6. Audi - Under the name Auto Union during WWII, Audi collaborated with the SS to use concentration camp inmates for production. They also employed forced labor extensively.

Ex-Twitter (Short X) is broken for hours now, the backend seems down. Tesla boycott, Starship exploding again, and now X with a major outage. It think this is not just bad karma, but the result of bad choices, and I can't deny a bit of Schadenfreude, driven by satisfaction that the Universe sometimes works as I expect.
