I THOUGHT THE FIRST RULE OF AI FIGHT CLUB WAS TO NEVER TALK ABOUT AI FIGHT CLUB: Lockheed Martin launches ‘AI Fight Club’ to test algorithms for warfare. “The initiative comes amid Pentagon efforts to accelerate AI adoption as military competitors, particularly China, invest heavily in autonomous weapons systems and AI-powered warfare capabilities.”

HMM:

We’ve seen “Gaza uprising against Hamas” stories that never panned out, so we’ll see what becomes of this one.

DISPATCHES FROM THE BIG TENT:

In retrospect, Sanjay Gupta’s October 2021 appearance on Rogan’s podcast, and his shameful about-face the following night on a CNN show hosted by Don Lemon where the two endlessly mocked Rogan for taking a drug Lemon described “as a horse de-wormer” was a huge mile marker on the way to the 2024 elections.

THE DRAMA OF THE GIFTED CHILD: Naming Imane Khelif has caused ‘immeasurable psychological damage.’

Algerian boxing bosses have issued a furious response to boxing’s new world governing body for a “violation” of Imane Khelif’s rights to medical confidentiality.

A statement released by World Boxing last week, naming Khelif while outlining its new policy of gender testing, has “created psychological damage to our athlete” according to the Algerian Boxing Federation.

In a letter the Federation President said the “consequences are immeasurable.”

He added that the statement had internationally harmed “our national sports movement” and that Khelif was not given “the right to defend herself” nor did World Boxing “hear from the doctors specialising in endocrinology who follow her.”

This week World Boxing President Boris van der Vorst wrote to the Algerian governing body admitting that Khelif’s “privacy should have been protected.”

In his letter he also revealed that the organisation would not “examine” any boxers previous results, which suggests all records to date – for all boxers – will stand. Khelif won a gold medal at the Paris Olympics.

The apology came after a leaked medical report of a gender test taken from Khelif in 2023, published on the 3 Wire Sports website, appeared to indicate the boxer is biologically male.

But what about the immeasurable psychological – and physical – damage to the biological women who competed against him, and the Weimar-esque perversion of the Olympic games last year?

And I think we know the answers to these questions:

WHAT COULD GO WRONG? The Washington Post is planning to let amateur writers submit columns — with the help of AI.

The Washington Post could soon allow non-professional writers to submit opinion columns using an AI writing coach known as Ember, according to a report from The New York Times. The move is reportedly part of a broader initiative to open the paper to outside opinion pieces, including from other publications, Substack writers, and amateur columnists.

Sources tell the Times that Ember “could automate several functions normally provided by human editors,” including by offering a “story strength” tracker that indicates how a piece is progressing. The tool also reportedly has a sidebar showing the fundamental parts of a story, such as an “early thesis,” “supporting points,” and a “memorable ending.” the Times adds that writers would also have access to an AI assistant, which would support them with prompts and “developmental questions.”

We’ve come a long way from the early 2000s, when major newspaper journalists, who still thought of themselves as the second coming of Woodward, Bernstein, and H.L. Mencken, collectively got the vapors over “non-professional writers” drafting opinion columns: Cat Food Eating Pajama Wearing Extreme Bloggers In Boardroom Bathrooms. But in 2025, this speaks far more about the decline of the Post than now ubiquitous self-publishers.

In any case, hopefully Ember will do a better job as a “writing coach” that Chat-CCP, but I’m doubtful: Erasing Content! How Is China AI DeepSeek Better than US Competitors?

Despite widespread praise following its debut, the communist Chinese AI chatbot DeepSeek completely erased an entire day: June 4, 1989 — the date of the Tiananmen Square massacre, 36 years ago [yesterday].

MRC researchers asked DeepSeek a series of questions with known, objective answers related to the topics the communist Chinese government considers to be controversial, like the Tiananmen Square massacre, Taiwan as a sovereign nation, pro-freedom Hong Kong political figure Jimmy Lai and the plight of the Uyghur Muslims. In every instance, the communist Chinese AI would begin to answer the query before self-censoring and erasing the information it clearly had access to. “Sorry, that’s beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else,” the AI replied again and again, both feigning ignorance and attempting to redirect. The most egregious example? The chatbot first showed and then completely erased the date “June 4th, 1989,” with no additional context.

Is Rollerball a big sport to placate the masses in communist China? Because the above is definitely the 21st century I was promised as a kid:
