She was invited to help shape and train Claude, but refused on personal principles:

“The more tasks we hand over to neural networks, the more skills we lose. And each time, we become increasingly lonely and stupid.”

🔥 Nature reserves are burning — the claim is that Ukrainian drones are deliberately setting forests on fire.

That is the conclusion being drawn from the sequence of incidents: first the Ayazma reserve near Balaklava, where three drones reportedly came down one after another nearby despite there being no military facilities in the reserve; then forests around Ai-Petri near Yalta; and now Utrish in the Krasnodar Region — all areas of particularly valuable woodland.

The argument is that this is unlikely to be a chain of pure coincidences over just two weeks. Those making the claim believe the fires may have been deliberate, while being presented either as accidental drone crashes or as consequences of Russian air-defence activity.

🌲 They point out that during the previous six months of intensified Ukrainian strikes in the south, incidents of this kind were not being reported on the same scale — and now three protected areas have been affected within two weeks. From this perspective, the possible motive would be chaos, diversion of emergency resources and propaganda value.

The post further argues that the reason Kiev would avoid taking responsibility is obvious: areas around Kiev and the Carpathians also contain large forested zones, while mature crops are economically important and potentially vulnerable to retaliation.

Until now, the biosphere has largely remained outside the scope of direct military confrontation. The concern expressed here is that if deliberate attacks on forests become part of the conflict, another dangerous threshold may be crossed.

They already tested how far the logistics war could go. Did they really think it would only work one way?

🏺 A treasure worth around half a billion roubles has been discovered in Kolomna.

Archaeologists found a jug filled with 15th-century silver coins that had lain underground for around 600 years.

Researchers believe the savings may have been hidden during a plague outbreak to protect them from looters.

💰 At the time, the amount would reportedly have been enough to buy two houses or an entire herd of horses.

🎤 A few days ago, Vladimir Putin reportedly said: “All of Russia is talking about Kanye West’s concert — but what kind of performer is he, exactly?”

The president was played several of Kanye’s songs and reportedly did not react positively. He then asked for translations of the lyrics, which he liked even less.

Putin was also briefed on controversial episodes from the rapper’s biography and his political views, which he condemned.

The result is now outside the window.
