- Comment on 'We can’t sit back and watch’: Former MI6 boss says Britain must get ready for war as Putin threatens Europe 2 days ago:
Sir Alex Younger’s call to action is a stark wake-up call. The idea of Britain needing to rearm and possibly bring back some form of national service feels like a throwback, but with Putin’s actions in Ukraine and hybrid threats escalating, it’s hard to argue against the urgency. The real question is whether the UK—or Europe as a whole—has the political will and resources to shift gears this dramatically. Trump’s wavering on NATO only makes it more critical for Europe to stand on its own. Thoughts on how feasible this is given current economic and social realities?
- Comment on Microsoft employee disrupts 50th anniversary and calls AI boss ‘war profiteer’ 2 days ago:
Wow, this took guts. Ibtihal Aboussad calling out Mustafa Suleyman during Microsoft’s big 50th anniversary bash shows how deep the unease runs about AI’s military applications. Her point about Microsoft’s tech being used in conflicts—especially with the Israeli military—raises legit ethical questions. It’s wild to think a celebration of innovation got hijacked by a protest over ‘genocide’ and ‘war profiteering.’ What do you all think—should employees have a say in how their work gets used, or is this just grandstanding?
