The US military has made its first confirmed purchase from OpenAI for its actively fighting forces with the mission of killing, The Intercept revealed in one of its investigations. The top AI company is being increasingly embedded within the US establishment.
The company behind ChatGPT has sold cloud computing services to the US Africa Command (AFRICOM) under its $9 billion Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability contract. AFRICOM calls access to OpenAI’s technology “essential” for its mission.
The move highlights OpenAI’s steady shift towards doing business with the Pentagon since it quietly deleted the portion of its terms of service that prohibited its use for “military and warfare” purposes earlier this year.
The automation of the US military will likely translate to a lot more recklessness and “collateral damage” in its warfare, Africa apparently serving as the US military’s “testing ground” for such technology.

Spain is facing unprecedented devastation as floods ravaged communities in the south and east. In a matter of hours, torrential downpours brought down a year’s worth of rain, leading to collapsed bridges, cut-off roads and forcing thousands from their homes.
The delayed warnings from local and national authorities, the civil protection agency, and recent cuts to emergency services have shown how unprepared officials are and how they have underestimated the severity of the ongoing climate crisis.

Leonard Peltier, widely considered the longest-imprisoned political prisoner in the US, has just been hospitalized. Working on his release, the Leonard Peltier Official Ad Hoc Committee published a press release calling on the US Senate Judiciary Committee to allow Peltier an emergency medical transfer to receive adequate care.
Peltier has spent almost 50 years behind bars for a crime he says he did not commit. In 1977, he was wrongfully convicted of aiding and abetting the killing of two FBI agents in Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota. The evidence used to convict Peltier was very controversial, and his trial was ripe with irregularities. Many believe his imprisonment is retribution for his leadership in the Native American liberation movement.
In June 2024, he was denied parole and won’t be eligible for another hearing until June 2026. Given Peltier’s age and his health, the state will likely succeed in killing him via attrition.

A shocking video shows the Greek Coast Guard driving towards inflatable boats carrying refugees and ramming them near the shores of the island of Lesbos. The incident appears to be an illegal pushback, forcing refugees to return to Turkish waters. Such forcible returns of people seeking refuge constitute a clear violation of the Geneva Convention, to which Greece, along with all EU member states, is a signatory.
Over the years, numerous complaints have been lodged regarding Greek authorities’ involvement in forced pushbacks and violence against asylum seekers. On Greek islands, refugees often denounce harsh treatment, including the confiscation of possessions, physical assault, handcuffing, strip-searches, and forced expulsion back to sea.
