- Reposted by Maurits MartijnWhile reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.
- Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships. We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/b...

- Reposted by Maurits MartijnFirst Trump's tariffs tipped the Canadian and Australian elections to the center-left parties. Then his interference in Brazil flipped Lula's numbers, and Greenland threats revived the Danish left — both ahead of 2026 elections. Trump is the international left's best friend.

- Reposted by Maurits MartijnThis is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

Our team fanned out to cover the before, during and after of the federal government’s months-long raid on an American city.

- Reposted by Maurits MartijnThe White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

- Reposted by Maurits MartijnDiederik Stapel was a massive watershed moment in psychology. However, he was -- and let's be slightly glib here -- some guy from The Netherlands who wrote social psychology papers. The full accounting of the Eysenck case is approx, at minimum, TWO STAPELS. retractionwatch.com/2025/12/03/n...

- Reposted by Maurits MartijnI wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

- Reposted by Maurits MartijnReuters reports the US is embedding tracking devices in the packaging of AI chip shipments to China. As I wrote in a recent post (below), the ultimate goal is much more ambitious: embed tracking into the chips themselves. #polisky #econsky #lawsky www.reuters.com/world/china/...
- The U.S. wants to track the location of every AI microchip. And it also wants the ability to remotely shut them down. But this isn't just about smuggling. In a new post, I argue this might be the power play of the century. #polisky #econsky #tech mileskellerman.substack.com/p/this-chip-...
