Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei:

I’m made fun of on social media because our model’s biology safeguards are too strong, and biology students complain — you know, they make jokes that we can’t use the model.

I would rather they make fun of me than wake up one day and discover that someone used our model, Claude, to kill a bunch of people.

I don’t want that. So I feel both sides of it. I feel both sides of the responsibility.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei:

It has always been very strange that this technology is being built by a private company.

People ask me that question all the time: "Why isn’t this being built by government?"

And the strangest thing about it is I agree with them. I’m uncomfortable.

The worry I have is that one single government could abuse this technology just as easily as a single company could.

But I think a combination of democratically elected governments — I don’t know about handing over, but some kind of oversight, some kind of joint governance.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei:

If the U.S. and China could agree that we won’t use AI to develop biological weapons, or release AI models that bioterrorists could use to develop biological weapons, that would be really valuable.

We’re already both signatories to the Biological Weapons Convention. If we could just extend that convention to that idea, that would be really valuable.

WATCH: Indian villagers tied a technician to a mobile tower over nearly two years of broken 5G promises.

They said they wouldn't release him until company bosses showed up to fix the network.

Police freed him after two hours, arrested six villagers.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei:

I won’t lie to you: there are real dangers. And I think for too long the industry lied to people about the fact that this technology had risk.

The idea was that they would present it as positive as possible.

We’ve never done that, but too much of the industry did that. And so it starts with telling the truth. And the truth is there are risks. Risks are real.

Stop Bombing Russian Oil Infrastructure: Trump to Zelensky

Donald Trump urged Volodymyr Zelensky to halt Ukrainian attacks on Russian diesel infrastructure, arguing that refinery strikes are “hurting the world” as U.S. diesel prices rise.

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski:

I personally believe that it was unfortunate for President Zelensky to name a military unit after UPA. UPA had an ideology of one nation, understood as a country without national minorities.

And it carried out an ethnic cleansing campaign in which tens of thousands of people were murdered.

Look, as Ukrainians, you have plenty of real heroes. Don’t put on pedestals people who have a mixed record, because you’re not doing justice to yourself.

And if you do, don’t be surprised if there is controversy.

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski:

If Russia attacked us and we took our gloves off, I think we would defeat Russia quite quickly.

We have overwhelming superiority over Russia in air power.

If the Ukrainians have knocked out half of Russia’s refining capacity in six months, we could do it in six weeks and take out the other half.

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski:

Unfortunately, there isn’t such a thing as European defense sovereignty, and there won’t be anytime soon for constitutional reasons.

It’s not just that defense remains a national responsibility. The European Union is a confederation, and you’re describing the function of a federal state.

There is no consensus for moving to a federation, and therefore, to my great regret, we will not yet develop a joint European defense.

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski:

China is taking over the Russian market. Russia will become a very, very junior partner to China.

If I were a Russian nationalist, I would be horrified of this.

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski:

The Council of Baltic Sea States, without the rest of Europe and NATO, has a bigger GDP than Russia and a bigger peacetime defense budget than Russia's wartime budget.

Russia has no hope of winning against us.

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski:

We as NATO should exercise so aggressively on our side to make Putin uncertain of what we will do.

He needs to draw forces away from Ukraine.

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski:

Putin literally imagined that he would undo the collapse of the USSR and make Russia a superpower again, part of the triad ruling the world, Yalta II.

I think he understands now that's not achievable.

Boris Johnson:

I don’t know what warped logic drove Putin to blow up a stationary Ukrainian locomotive on the Polish border this morning.

What we can say for sure is that this is the kind of random and senseless attack Ukrainians are enduring every day - even on civilian railways.

So far Putin has been responsible for the deaths of 1700 staff of Ukrzaliznytsia - Ukrainian Railways. They and their daily passengers are absolutely heroic.

Polish PM Donald Tusk:

The coming weeks and months will be a period of greatly intensified Russian activity, and unfortunately we cannot rule out that this escalation will also affect our territory.

German AfD Leader Alice Weidel on Ukraine:

We will stop payments to Ukraine and all support for the war, and we will also make substantial repayment demands on Ukraine.

German AfD Leader Alice Weidel:

More than one million Ukrainians in Germany are receiving welfare benefits. It is actually unbelievable, and none of this is financially sustainable anymore.

These Ukrainians also have to return. Especially the young Ukrainian men of military age — we’re talking about numbers in the six figures — those young men should kindly go back.

German AfD Leader Alice Weidel:

I really don’t tend toward conspiracy theories, but someone has to explain to me the discrepancy between in-person voting and postal voting.

It is so statistically striking that I cannot explain it.

German AfD Leader Alice Weidel:

The CDU/CSU has a fundamental problem: to put it plainly, it has screwed people over for years.

And then it can’t survive anymore.

German AfD Leader Alice Weidel:

They will replace Friedrich Merz. I am convinced of that.

Looking at the CDU’s entire personnel, I don’t see any alternative that would really be viable for the CDU.

They will not be able to stop the downward trend, because the problem is structural and deeply rooted in the party — namely, its credibility problem.

German AfD leader Alice Weidel on Syrians in Germany:

For Syrian citizens who came to us, as soon as the reason for fleeing no longer exists in their country of origin, these people have to go back.

Asylum is a temporary right, and when the reason for asylum ceases to exist, these people have to return and must not be naturalized.

Under an AfD government, these people — Syrian citizens — will have to return to their country and not remain in Germany as, according to the Syrian foreign minister, a "strategic mass."

We will review naturalized Syrians to determine whether the naturalization criteria were actually met. We have considerable doubts.
