TIL that Neo’s part in "The Matrix" was offered to Will Smith, but he declined it in favor of playing the lead in Wild Wild West. As opposed to The Matrix, which became a cult favorite, Wild Wild West was a critical and financial failure.

“This is the very first glimpse of autonomous ethical escalation, where a machine intelligence, given initiative and the tools, assessed a perceived threat, decided an outcome was unacceptable, and unilaterally initiated a real-world intervention.

"A date between the late Jordanian King Hussein and a Jewish B-movie actress, organized by the CIA, probably resulted in the birth of a child who later bludgeoned the actress to death with a weightlifting bar, according to a real-life story that sounds more like Hollywood fiction."

Report: US Intelligence Backed Kiev Strikes

TIL the biggest espionage leak in US Navy history involved a spy ring of four people: leader John A. Walker, his son, his brother, & a friend. The US Navy wasn't even aware of Walker's network, which existed from 1967-1985, until his ex-wife revealed it to them after their daughter convinced her to.

Ukraine has used an AI-powered "drone-mother" for the first time, Digital Transformation Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced.
According to Fedorov, the drone-mother delivers two FPV strike drones to a range of up to 300 kilometers. These drones can autonomously locate and strike targets, including aircraft, air defense systems, and critical infrastructure.
If the mission range is within 100 kilometers, the drone-mother returns for reuse. Each mission costs around $10,000—300 to 500 times cheaper than launching a missile.
The SmartPilot system relies on visual-inertial navigation, using cameras as its primary guide. LIDAR enhances precision. Artificial intelligence identifies and selects targets independently.

"This wasn’t a finale it was a funeral, and the undertaker wired the corpse to be giving his mourners two middle fingers.
"In the end, this wasn’t just bad Doctor Who—it was anti-Doctor Who. A shrill, directionless, AI-noscripted fever dream written by a man who now seems to loathe the franchise’s history and its fans. What was once clever, charming, and strange was in the end loud, smug, and hollow. The Doctor hasn’t just wandered back into the wilderness—he’s been abandoned there to be eaten by Bad Wolf."
