1/4 Is it true women are more verbal? 🗣️ The "20k vs 7k words" claim is a myth, but the science is wild! Girls often have 30% more FOXP2 (the "language protein"), helping them talk earlier. Women also use both brain hemispheres for speech, creating integrated processing of words and emotions. Let’s dive into why we talk the way we do! 🧵👇 #Science #Communication #Gender #Biology #Psychology #Sociology #Language #Speech #Brain #Nature #Nurture #Evolution #Research #Data #Debunked

Если гипотеза внезапно подтвердится — последствия будут системными:
1. Кибербезопасность обнулится как класс
Если модель уровня Anthropic действительно массово находит уязвимости, то:классический bug bounty и аудит теряют смысл
окно между “найдено” и “эксплуатируется” сокращается почти до нуля
zero-day станет нормой, а не исключением
2. Банковский сектор станет первичной целью
Такие игроки как JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup:вынуждены будут изолировать критические системы (air gap / legacy freeze)
резко увеличат CAPEX на defensive AI
начнут переход к “закрытым” архитектурам без внешних зависимостей
3. Гонка AI vs AI
Microsoft, Apple, Amazon:развернут defensive LLM’ы для автоматического патчинга
появятся системы, где код пишется и сразу же проверяется ИИ
DevSecOps станет полностью автоматизированным циклом
4. Государственный уровень (кибервойна)
спецслужбы получат инструмент для массового вскрытия инфраструктуры
критическая инфраструктура (энергетика, связь) станет уязвимой в кратчайшие сроки
появится давление на регулирование и контроль моделей
5. Конец “доверенного софта”
любая система без постоянного AI-аудита считается потенциально скомпрометированной
open-source проекты под риском, если не внедрят автоматическую проверку
software supply chain станет главной точкой атаки
---
Вывод:
Если это реально — это не “ещё один ИИ-релиз”, а сдвиг уровня ядерного оружия, только в киберпространстве.
Но именно поэтому такие вещи почти невозможно скрыть — и пока нет подтверждений, к этому стоит относиться как к сценарию, а не факту.Фраза про «неповоротливую банковскую систему» — это не техническое утверждение, а типичный журналистско-аналитический ярлык, который упрощает реальность.Если разложить по сути, банки выглядят “медленными” по сравнению с IT не потому, что они не умеют, а потому что у них другая оптимизационная функция.
1. Жёсткое регулирование как основной ограничитель
Крупные банки (например JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup) работают в среде:
Basel III/IV капиталовые требования
AML/KYC обязательства
аудит регуляторов (Fed, OCC, ECB и т.д.)
Любое изменение:
должно быть документировано
верифицировано
и часто одобрено внешним надзором
Это автоматически убивает “движение быстро и ломай вещи”.
---
2. Legacy-инфраструктура
Банки исторически построены на:
COBOL/мейнфреймах
десятках интеграционных слоёв
системах, которым 20–40 лет
Это не “плохой код”, а:
критически стабильные системы расчётов
где ошибка = прямые финансовые потери или системный сбой
Любая миграция = риск каскадного отказа.
---
3. Стоимость ошибки несопоставима с IT-стартапами
У банка:
ошибка в проде = деньги клиентов / системный риск / судебные иски
У IT-компании:ошибка = откат релиза
Поэтому у банков:
длинные циклы внедрения
много уровней проверки
консервативный риск-менеджмент
---
4. Архитектура “согласованности важнее скорости”
Банковские системы оптимизированы под:
консистентность (ACID)
трассируемость транзакций
аудит
А не под:
быстрые эксперименты
частые архитектурные сломы
---
5. Но важно: это уже меняется
Называть банки просто “неповоротливыми” сейчас — упрощение.
Фактически происходит:
активная миграция в cloud (Microsoft Azure, AWS и др.)
внедрение AI для fraud detection
DevSecOps и continuous compliance
---
Итог
“Неповоротливость” = не про интеллект или ресурсы.
Это про инженерный выбор между скоростью и стоимостью системного риска.Если хочешь, могу разложить, где именно ИИ реально уже ломает этот баланс (fraud, AML, code security) — там интереснее, чем в мемной версии про “старые банки”.#Anthropic #ClaudeAI #FakeNews #Disinformation #FactCheck #CyberSecurity #AIThreats #BankingSystem #ScottBessent #JamieDimon #OSINT #InfoWar #TechNews #AIReality #CyberRisk #Debunked

Goede video van @debroervanroos (helaas niet meer actief in de echte fediverse 😢). Mijn volgers hebben deze uitleg niet nodig, maar wel handig om achter de hand te hebben wanneer je een verdwaalde #PVV'er tegenkomt.
Wel die vervelende verticale video horizontaal gemaakt. Dat 'mobile first' is echt een vloek voor het internet. Beter: 'All screen ratios are created equal'. Oftewel, maak er twee. 🖥️📱

Trump’s #WhiteNationalism and the #Future of #History
Being a #historian during Trump 2.0 is to witness a renewal of #debunked #mythologies and #outdated ideas made fresh by a state apparatus deeply invested in protecting the #historical reputation of #whiteness.

«No matter, Rufo said, he had proof in the form of some impressive shoe-leather reporting.
So I visited Dayton for Drop Site News, and tracked down the infamous blue grill. It turns out there are a lot of holes in that shoe leather»

Republicans have unleashed a flurry of ➡️ lawsuits challenging voting rules and practices ⬅️ ahead of the November elections,
🔥setting the stage for what could be a far larger and more contentious legal battle over the White House after Election Day.The onslaught of litigation,
much of it landing in recent weeks,
includes nearly 90 lawsuits filed across the country by Republican groups this year.The legal push is ⭐️already more than three times the number of lawsuits filed before Election Day in 2020,
according to Democracy Docket, a Democratically aligned group that tracks election cases.🆘 Voting rights experts say the legal campaign appears to be an ⚠️effort to prepare to #contest #the #results of the presidential election after Election Day should Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, lose and 💥refuse to accept his defeat as he did four years ago.
The lawsuits are concentrated in swing states
— and key counties
— likely to determine the race.Several embrace #debunked #theories about voter fraud and so-called stolen elections that Mr. Trump has promoted since 2020.
In Montgomery County, Pa., the state’s third-largest county, the party is seeking to ♦️force local officials to count ballots by hand, evoking debunked conspiracy theories about corrupted voting machines. 👀
A case filed by the Republican National Committee in Nevada this month #falsely asserts that nearly 4,000 noncitizens voted in the state in 2020,
a claim that was rejected at the time by the state’s top election official, a Republican. -

#Trump's #runningmate continues to spread #debunked #claims about #Haitian #immigrants as #violent #threats in #Ohio #escalate following the #falseaccusations.

Republicans also made concerns about the election a formal part of their #platform.
“We will implement measures to secure our elections,
including voter ID,
highly sophisticated paper ballots,
proof of citizenship and same-day voting.We will not allow the Democrats to give voting rights to illegal aliens,” the document says.
Republicans say they are building an army of poll watchers and observers
to watch over the vote this year.They’ve also appointed #Christina #Bobb,
a lawyer facing criminal charges in Arizona for her involvement in the #fake #electors scheme,
to head the party’s litigation efforts.#Lara #Logan #conspiracy #die #convention #Jim #Hoft #Gateway #Pundit #misinformation #bankruptcy #Georgia #Dominion #libelous #stolen #YMCA #non #citizen #rare #messaging #doubt #debunked #rescan #confirmed #rigged #Jr #cheating #believe #Kari #Lake

Election denialism front and center at Republican national convention
“Don’t fuck us,” #Lara #Logan, the former CBS News anchor turned to me and said.
“If you use the word #conspiracy theorist in your story, I’m going to haunt you when I #die.”It was the third day of the Republican national #convention and Logan was standing in the atrium of a hotel that was once the old Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee.
She was there to moderate a presentation by #Jim #Hoft,
the founder of the far-right website #Gateway #Pundit, and his twin brother, Joe, who is also a contributor to the site.The site, which has become a launchpad for #misinformation,
has been in hot water recently.
The site declared #bankruptcy in April in order to delay civil suits from two #Georgia election workers and a former #Dominion Voting Systems employee who say the site defamed them.
The site denies publishing #libelous claims against the women.The event billed as a “blockbuster interview” on the site’s “legal challenges and new beginnings” underscored how doubts about the outcome of the 2020 election continue to grip Republicans
(a PRRI poll from January found that 63% of Republicans believe the 2020 election was #stolen).Inside and outside of the convention hall, it was clear in speeches and interviews with attendees throughout the week that doubts about the 2020 election remain,
and the possibility of another “stolen” vote looms.The most direct reference to a stolen election in 2020 came in a pre-recorded video from Donald Trump
that aired on the jumbotron each night.
It was only one of two videos that repeated
(the other was a goofy video of Trump doing a wiggle-type dance to the song #YMCA).“The most important thing we have to do is protect the vote.
You have to keep your eyes open because these people want to cheat
and they do cheat, and, frankly, it’s the only thing they do well,” Trump said in the video.Republican speakers steered clear of the 2020 election results directly,
and instead repeatedly emphasized the threat of #non-#citizen voting,
which is exceedingly #rare and yet nonetheless has become a central part of the party’s #messaging around elections.Just as Trump pointed to mail-in ballots to seed #doubt about the 2020 election,
experts believe that the emphasis on non-citizen voting is an effort to seed doubt about the election results in 2024.At the Gateway Pundit event, there was little new information.
Jim Hoft walked the 20 or so attendees
– the event was also livestreamed on X
– through video footage that purported to show Georgia election workers running ballots through tabulator machines several times.“We think this is important because in my world anyway where I grew up, you kind of count ballots two or three times,” Jim Hoft said.
He insisted that nothing the site had published had been disproven.The claim that ballots were scanned multiple times in Georgia has been
#debunked repeatedly
and the women have both been cleared of any wrongdoing.If there’s an issue scanning a single ballot within a batch
– a jam or a smudge on a ballot
– it’s common practice for election workers to delete the incomplete batch to #rescan the entire group until they have the correct total.The state also conducted a hand recount of every single vote cast in the presidential race in Georgia that #confirmed Joe Biden’s win there.
At the convention, there was little doubt that the next election could be #rigged.
The struggle of the Biden campaign and Trump’s strong standing in the polls only increased the belief that any Democratic victory would be illegitimate.
Speaking at an Axios event on the sidelines of the convention, Donald Trump #Jr said that if Trump lost it would be because of “#cheating”.
“We’re going to have to make sure we have people watching [the election] very closely,” he said at the event.
“I don’t think that Joe Biden over-performed only in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee
– I just don’t #believe that’s real,” he said.As part of their messaging around non-citizen voting, Republicans recently passed legislation in the US House that would
require anyone who registers to vote to show proof of citizenship.
Speakers at the convention picked up the mantle by suggesting that Democrats had opened the borders to allow non-citizens to vote.#Kari #Lake, who is running for a US Senate seat in Arizona,
falsely accused her opponent, Representative Ruben Gallego,
of voting to “let the millions of people who poured into our country illegally cast a ballot in this upcoming election”.Imagining a second Biden term, Senator Rick Scott of Florida said: “It was easy for Democrats to rig the elections – they simply allowed all the non-citizens to vote.”
“[Democrats] want illegals to vote now that they opened the border,” Steve Scalise, a top Republican in the US House, said in his speech.

Jean-Pierre Serre (Fields Medal 1954) debunked the 'curse of the Fields Medal' myth: 97% of his papers were published during the 70 years (!) after he won it.
Jean-Pierre Serre exemplifies the importance of inner drive and passion in achieving excellence. His dedication to mathematics, driven by a deep love for the subject rather than a quest for accolades or external awards, is an inspiring reminder that true fulfillment and success come from following one's passions.
For individuals like Jean-Pierre Serre, external awards become secondary to their intrinsic motivation and passion for their work. Their primary satisfaction comes from the pursuit of knowledge and the joy of discovery, making external recognition a mere byproduct rather than the goal.
