Δεν υπάρχει χειρότερο πράγμα από όλους όσους εύχονται να δουν κάποια υποχώρηση ή ταπείνωση της Ελλάδας σχετικά με το θέμα του GSI (και όχι μόνο), προκειμένου να βγουν στο τέλος να μιλάνε για πατριωτισμό, δικαίωση κλπ.
Το μόνο που καταφέρνουν, είναι να δείξουν στον κόσμο το μέγεθος της ιδιοτέλειας στις πράξεις τους και το πόσο επικίνδυνοι είναι για τα Εθνικά συμφέροντα, που προκειμένου να επιβιώσουν πολιτικά, βάζουν κόμματα και ιδεολογίες πάνω από την Ελλάδα.
Ως προς την αδειοδότηση του GSI, μην ψάχνετε μακριά. Η Ελλάδα είναι αυτή που αδειοδοτεί, γι'αυτό εξέδωσε και NAVTEX. Και οιαδήποτε άλλη διπλωματική ενημέρωση από τη γαλλική πλευρά, οπουδήποτε, παραμένει αυστηρά και μόνο γνωστοποίηση ενεργειών και όχι κάποιου είδους αίτημα προς έγκριση των ενεργειών αυτών.
Προσωπικά, περιμένω μια ακόμη αστεία πράξη από την τουρκική πλευρά, η οποία έχει ξεφτιλιστεί προσπαθώντας να συντηρήσει το αφήγημα που η ίδια έστησε. Δεν θα προκαλέσει ιδιαίτερη εντύπωση αν δείτε να εκδίδουν και εκείνοι NAVTEX, για να πουν ότι δίνουν κάποιου είδους άδεια για τις έρευνες.

A single bird has just accomplished one of the most extraordinary feats in the animal kingdom — flying nearly one-third of the way around the Earth without stopping to eat, drink, or rest.
The record-breaker is a five-month-old Bar-tailed Godwit that flew nonstop from Alaska to Tasmania, Australia. Covering 8,425 miles in just over 11 days, it set a new record for the longest nonstop flight ever documented in any bird.
What makes this journey even more astonishing is that it was the young godwit’s very first migration. The entire route took place over the open Pacific Ocean, with no chance to land. Despite that, the bird navigated thousands of miles of featureless water with pinpoint accuracy.
This incredible endurance is made possible by remarkable physiological adaptations. Before takeoff, the godwit packs on enormous fat reserves — nearly half its body weight — to fuel the flight. At the same time, many of its internal organs, including parts of the digestive system, temporarily shrink to lighten the load and maximize energy efficiency.
Unlike many seabirds that depend heavily on gliding, this godwit flapped continuously for the entire journey, battling shifting winds and weather systems the whole way.
Researchers at the Pūkōroro Auckland Shorebird Centre say discoveries like this are transforming our understanding of migratory birds. Their astonishing endurance, navigation skills, and energy management demonstrate biological capabilities that can match — and in some ways surpass — even the most advanced human engineering.

🚨 WOW! Elon Musk's SpaceX just got ONE STEP CLOSER to becoming a NATIONWIDE U.S. cell carrier and taking on Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile
Trump's FCC has now ACCEPTED its application to buy 800 MHz wireless spectrum from Grain Management
DON'T BET AGAINST ELON.
The deal would let him reach basically the whole country 🇺🇸
After the deal, SpaceX would hold up to 89 MHz of total spectrum in each area, according to the FCC filing
SpaceX has also asked the FCC to use these airwaves to beam service from satellites STRAIGHT to our phones
The deal still needs final FCC approval.

Important Update from Egypt
Egypt has announced significant changes to its terrorism designation lists.
🔺 1. Permanent designation of the Muslim Brotherhood
Egypt has permanently placed the Muslim Brotherhood on its list of designated terrorist entities, ending the system of periodic renewals. Previously, the group’s designation was subject to time-limited extensions, including five-year renewals.

🇺🇸🇪🇺 Palantir's CEO casually told the world his surveillance tech is all over Europe, and he can't even tell us WHERE.
Alex Karp says Palantir is used heavily in France and in other countries he's "contractually not allowed to mention."
His defense is that surveillance with a legal mandate is a different animal from surveillance without one.
So you're being watched, but it's all legal, and you don't get to know if your country is on the list.
Feeling safe yet, Europe? 🙃

Η Τουρκία έβγαλε απόψε νέα NAVTEX για το Abeille Marengo και ισχυρίζεται ότι η ίδια έδωσε τη "συγκατάθεσή" της.
Η NAVTEX γράφει ότι οι έρευνες θα γίνουν σε διαδρομές "που έχουν συντονιστεί με τις αρμόδιες τουρκικές αρχές" και πάνω σε αυτό που η Τουρκία θεωρεί δική της υφαλοκρηπίδα. Παραπέμπει ξανά στην επιστολή της προς τον ΟΗΕ του Μαρτίου 2020. Ισχύει από σήμερα έως τις 19 Μαρτίου 2027, με δύο διαδρομές από τα νοτιοανατολικά της Κάσου προς την Κύπρο, και ζητά απόσταση ασφαλείας 2 Ν.Μ. Στις 6 Νοεμβρίου απαιτούσε συντονισμό με τις τουρκικές αρχές, ενώ τώρα παρουσιάζει την προϋπόθεση ως εκπληρωμένη! Το Πρώτο Θέμα το χαρακτηρίζει "επικοινωνιακό rebound".. η Άγκυρα δεν απειλεί πια ότι θα εμποδίσει τις έρευνες, αλλά τις παρουσιάζει σαν να έγιναν με δική της άδεια. Αυτό έρχεται σε ευθεία αντίθεση με όσα είπε σήμερα ο πθ, ότι άδεια ζητήθηκε και δόθηκε μόνο από Ελλάδα και Κύπρο!
Για το ίδιο το πλοίο, ο ΣΚΑΪ λέει ότι αρχικά κινείται βόρεια-βορειοδυτικά της Κρήτης για να δοκιμάσει τα όργανα. Στην επίμαχη περιοχή δεν θα φτάσει πριν από το μεσημέρι της Πέμπτης. Για τη διάρκεια των ερευνών τα μέσα διαφωνούν.. ο ΣΚΑΪ γράφει έξι μήνες και τα ΝΕΑ τέσσερις. Επίσημη ελληνική απάντηση στη νέα NAVTEX δεν υπαρχει ακομη.. protothema.gr/greece/article…

The dog exists because Ice Age hunters could not live on lean meat.
Wolves and people wanted the same animals, and for a long time nobody could explain why a band of hunters would feed a rival through a winter. In 2021 a team of Finnish researchers did the sums for the coldest stretch of the last Ice Age and found the answer in the human liver.
By late winter a reindeer or a horse has burned through its fat and is nearly all muscle. A person can only clear so much protein. Push it much past a third of what you eat and you get sick, then weak, then worse, however full your stomach is. So a hunting band took what it needed, the marrow, the brain, the tongue, every scrap of fat, and was left sitting on a heap of lean meat it could not safely finish.
A wolf can live on lean meat for months.
The surplus went to the pups by the fire. Nobody was competing for it. A few thousand winters of that and you have a dog.
So the oldest friendship on earth rests on one fact about your metabolism: you are the fat-eater in the partnership. Your ancestors dealt with the skinless chicken breast twenty thousand years ago by throwing it to the wolf.
Today the lean cut is on your plate with a health sticker on it, and his descendant gets a brown biscuit made of maize.
He was better fed in the Ice Age. So were you.

Anthropic is about to sell the public a trillion-dollar company controlled by 2 shares worth less than a penny.
And the people buying it will have almost no way to change anything that happens next.
I read the voting section of Anthropic's IPO filing, and I think it's the most one-sided deal ever offered to regular investors at this size:
There is exactly ONE Class F share. It belongs to an LLC owned by 7 of Anthropic's co-founders, and it carries 50.1% of all the votes.
There is exactly ONE Class T share. It belongs to Anthropic's Long-Term Benefit Trust, and it elects a majority of the board.
If Anthropic were ever liquidated, each of those 2 shares would get its par value of $0.00001.
The public gets Class A shares instead. And Anthropic's own filing says this structure may effectively eliminate their ability to influence important decisions, including a sale of the company.
So here's what that means for anyone who buys:
- They can't replace the board if the company stumbles, because the trust picks the majority and the founders hold half the vote.
- They can't push for a sale, even if someone offers a huge premium.
- They can't stop the board from putting the mission ahead of their money. Anthropic is a public benefit corporation, so the board has to weigh shareholders against the long-term benefit of humanity.
- And they can't easily sue over it. Delaware law requires at least 2% of the shares or $2 million worth of stock to bring that kind of claim.
This isn't some far-off hypothetical either.
The filing warns that slowing AI development for safety may not maximize stockholder value. It also says Anthropic recently paused training a next-generation model for more than a month over safety and security concerns.
A public shareholder would've had zero say in that pause.
And here's the part I can't get past:
Each co-founder has pledged to give 80% of their Anthropic equity to charity. The Class F vote stays at 50.1% no matter how much stock they still own.
So the founders can give away most of their money and keep all of their control.
Dario Amodei told 60 Minutes last year that he's deeply uncomfortable with AI decisions being made by a few companies and a few people. When he was asked who elected him, he said no one.
Now his company's IPO hands 50.1% of the votes to 7 people, and he's one of them.
And guess who's being lined up to buy it?
Anthropic has weighed reserving 15% to 20% of the IPO for individual investors, according to Bloomberg. JPMorgan is leading the US retail push, and Citigroup is handling retail buyers in places like Japan, Britain and Canada.
The same filing warns that AI could pose catastrophic or existential risks to humanity.
So regular people are being asked to buy a company that says its product could threaten humanity, with no real vote on how it's run.
Anthropic's answer is that this is the whole point. The structure is built to keep Wall Street from pressuring it into cutting corners on safety. The trustees have no financial stake in the company. Google and Meta gave their founders control and still made shareholders rich. And every buyer gets all of this in writing before they buy.
But Zuckerberg's control comes from shares he owns, so when Meta's stock falls, he loses money too. Anthropic's 2 control shares can't lose anything.
Anyone buying this IPO is paying full price to hand control to 7 founders and 5 trustees.
They're desperate for money and they don't care about your money.
Anthropic has launched the roadshow for its proposed initial public offering: anthropic.com/news/roadshow-…

12 MONITORS, STARLINK AND OPTIMUS ON THE CONTROLS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TEXAS HIGHWAY
A guy from Austin told his friends his robot would win a $25,000 online tournament during the 4 hour drive to Dallas. Everyone laughed at him.
He bolted a chair, two PCs and 12 screens into the truck bed, sat Optimus down and hit the highway. Internet came from a Starlink dish on the roof.
Three hours in, the robot made the final. Opponents were typing in chat that they were playing against a bot, and yes, they were right.
Organizers are now deciding whether a machine can take the prize. The owner tagged Elon under the video and is waiting for a reply, because the only person who can settle this sells both the robot and the satellite internet.

🇲🇦🇪🇸 70% of illegal Moroccan migrants who invaded Ceuta now claim they are gay
Right after the mass border breach of the Spanish enclave in July, the migrants said they were fleeing poverty and unemployment.
A few weeks later, the rhetoric shifted sharply.
About 70% of applicants began claiming they face criminal prosecution in their home country because of homosexuality.
Under Morocco’s Criminal Code, same-sex relations are punishable by 6 months to 3 years in prison.
The migrants are using this legal fact as a strong basis for seeking international protection in Spain.
