The alluring fantasy of a quick win in Iran - The Economist (No
paywall)
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=204926&nl=daily THE
elation, the doubt. President Donald Trump said that “Operation
Midnight Hammer”, had “totally obliterated” Iran’s
uranium-enrichment facilities. But now an early intelligence
assessment leaked on June 24th suggests the nuclear programme has only
been set back by months and that some enriched uranium may have been
spirited away. The report is an early “low-confidence” assessment
that both the Trump administration and Israeli sources eschew. But it
illuminates a bigger problem. Mr Trump wants a quick-fix to the Iran
nightmare with a single, clarifying mega-strike, a ceasefire and then
prosperity. Instead America faces years of uncertainty over Iran’s
capabilities and intentions. As a result Mr Trump’s
assumption—that he can have a one-day Middle East military triumph
and then quickly secure a lasting deal—may be badly misplaced.

A.I. Is Homogenizing Our Thoughts - The New Yorker (No paywall)
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=204926&nl=daily]
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=204926&nl=daily]
In an experiment last year at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, more than fifty students from universities around Boston
were split into three groups and asked to write SAT-style essays in
response to broad prompts such as Must our achievements benefit others
in order to make us truly happy? One group was asked to rely on only
their own brains to write the essays. A second was given access to
Google Search to look up relevant information. The third was allowed
to use ChatGPT, the artificial-intelligence large language model
(L.L.M.) that can generate full passages or essays in response to user
queries. As students from all three groups completed the tasks, they
wore a headset embedded with electrodes in order to measure their
brain activity. According to Nataliya Kosmyna, a research scientist at
M.I.T. Media Lab and one of the co-authors of a new working paper
documenting the experiment, the results from the analysis showed a
dramatic discrepancy: subjects who used ChatGPT demonstrated less
brain activity than either of the other groups. The analysis of the
L.L.M. users showed fewer widespread connections between different
parts of their brains; less alpha connectivity, which is associated
with creativity; and less theta connectivity, which is associated with
working memory. Some of the L.L.M. users felt no ownership whatsoever
over the essays they'd produced, and during one round of testing
eighty per cent could not quote from what they'd putatively written.
The M.I.T. study is among the first to scientifically measure what
Kosmyna called the cognitive cost of relying on A.I. to perform tasks
that humans previously accomplished more manually.

For many New York voters, Zohran Mamdani's win in last night's
Democratic mayoral primary is the best news they've gotten all year.
Thanks to an army of committed volunteers, a boots-on-the-ground
approach to campaigning, and the power of ranked-choice voting, New
York Democrats opted to elect a 33-year-old Democratic Socialist to be
their nominee for mayor. This is a devastating blow to Establishment
Dems, who really wanted to believe that the city would prefer a
corrupt sexual harasser over someone promising to make the buses free.
It is an even more devastating blow to conservatives, who are losing
their minds over Mamdani's big upset.
