What makes the Khyzhak particularly versatile is its modular architecture.

The system can be fitted to unmanned ground vehicles, installed in fixed defensive positions, mounted on conventional vehicles or integrated with maritime platforms. The version shown in the latest footage represents an airborne adaptation of the same basic concept.

The module also incorporates artificial intelligence-assisted target recognition and tracking.

As always, I have this one question: When can I get one for the hood of my car?

CCP TOOLS: Sanders, Casar Bill Would Ban Superintelligence, Pause Frontier AI. “Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas) introduced the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act, a bill that would permanently prohibit development and deployment of superintelligent AI, pause advanced AI research until a federal regulator sets safety rules, and stand up a cabinet-level AI oversight agency. Individuals who violate the ban would face up to 20 years in prison. Corporate entities would face what the press release from Sanders’s office calls the ‘corporate death penalty,’ penalties the sponsors compare to those for unlawfully developing nuclear weapons.”

ICYMI: Michigan Jews Turn Against El-Sayed.

ALMOST? 15 colleges now cost $100K+ per year — and almost none of them are worth it.

Fifteen higher ed institutions cracked the six-figure pricetag this year, up from a just two the previous year, according to an analysis from the the Washington Post.

The most expensive schools in the US are:

Harvey Mudd College, Calif. — $104,512
Duke University, NC — $103,975
University of Chicago, Ill. — $103,821
University of Southern California, Calif. — $103,162
Barnard College, NY — $103,000
Washington University, Mo. — $102,260
Smith College, Mass. — $102,226
Fordham University, NY — $102,188
Claremont McKenna College, Calif. — $101,990
Vassar College, NY — $101,051
Wesleyan University, Conn. — $101,030
New York University, NY — $100,998
Georgetown University, DC — $100,864
Colgate University, NY — $100,224
Haverford College, Penn. — $100,026

Ivy League schools Brown, Columbia and Cornell were close behind, each charging just under $100,000 per year.

Despite those huge prices, separate statistics raised questions about what the money is buying — none of the 15 most expensive schools appeared equally high in college rankings of the best returns on investment.

Insane.

I missed this Politico item from Wednesday: White House pushes companies to ditch Macron’s space summit. “The Office of Science and Technology Policy official on the call told industry representatives that France did not coordinate with the U.S. on the summit, accused the country of “anti-competitive practices,” and suggested the event’s panels were not designed to include the American perspective and may diminish U.S. industry efforts, according to the people.”

…is that the press has been largely successful in shielding the public from just how radical and dangerous the Left actually is.

Even so, people have a difficult time believing it when told: Republican activists say they have to water down the reality of their opponents’ agenda in focus groups. ‘They just don’t believe it’s true. It can’t be.’

FASCINATING:

I don't think people really understand the fight between Paul Graham and Palmer Luckey which played out this week. To the general public, from a casual perspective, it seemed like two rich guys getting in a heated, impulsive debate on Twitter, dragging out for days.

It's not.…

— Fugitive Caesar (@ThomBrady5) September 2, 2026

Read the whole thing, but here’s the takeaway: “Palmer Luckey is the face of a new military-industrialist consensus which is seeking to hire American workers for American jobs, to build factories and weapons at home, to remilitarize and reindustrialize, to get away from asset inflation and FIRE (finance, insurance, real estate) as a sterile, parasitic rent-seeking economic system.”
