An American political operator contacted me last week, before the blue tidal wave swept aside Donald Trump’s Republicans in Congress, with his favourite quote from the 1997 movie Wag the Dog, about an American president starting a war to distract from domestic difficulties: ‘Change the story, change the lead,’ Robert De Niro’s character declares. The politico, who once ran an abortive Democrat campaign for president, then predicted: ‘The bigger the defeat, the bigger the bombs Trump drops on Iran.’ At that point, the results of the Israeli elections had already eroded Benjamin Netanyahu’s chances of remaining Prime Minister and left two of the most dominant leaders of the last decade with their backs to the wall.

“If a Western tech giant can host the machinery powering apartheid in Ireland, inside the EU, and face no consequences, every other company will learn it can do the same,” Al-Haddad told EUobserver.

Microsoft software plays a key part in running an app used by Israel to control Palestinian mobility in the occupied territories, a new report found.
Al Munasseq, meaning ‘The Coordinator’ in Arabic, is an app launched by Israel’s Coordination of Government Activities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (COGAT) unit in 2019 to manage the movement of Palestinians for work, healthcare, prayer, and everyday tasks.
A report published on Tuesday (3 November) by global consumer group Ekō found Microsoft to be hosting key components of Al Munasseq in data centres in Ireland, effectively enabling what is feared to be mass surveillance.
The app runs on Microsoft’s Azure cloud and uses its cloud storage and database services. When someone uses the app, it’s Microsoft’s servers that process their request, and Microsoft that keeps those servers running so the app stays available.
“For Palestinians, Al Munasseq is the gatekeeper to ordinary life. A cancer patient who needs radiotherapy in Jerusalem, a worker who needs to feed his family, a daughter who wants to sit beside her mother in hospital – all of them must ask Israel’s military for a permit to move across their own stolen land, and that permission runs through the Al Munasseq app,” said Ekō senior campaign director, Rewan Al-Haddad.
“If a Western tech giant can host the machinery powering apartheid in Ireland, inside the EU, and face no consequences, every other company will learn it can do the same,” Al-Haddad told EUobserver.
Deputy Sinead Gibney, who serves on the Irish parliament’s AI committee, called for an investigation in light of the report findings.

OpenAI’s massive data dump of more than 300 solved math problemstriggered a wave of despair about the end of human supremacy.
But one mathematician has found reasons to push back against the doom loop.
Why it matters: As AI capabilities continue to advance across disciplines, beating humans at one task after another, every new feat requires important contemplation. What problems remain to be solved? Where can humans still have an impact? What does it all mean?
For Vanderbilt University’s Dan Margalit, the answer within mathematics is that the machines aren’t replacing human intellect. They are deeply reliant on it.
He sees AI as a tireless finisher of human-led ideas and imagines a future where mathematicians can thrive.
Catch up quick:The academic world has been reeling since OpenAI released hundreds of AI-generated math papers, offering solutions to major open challenges just a few weeks after also claiming to solve the legendary Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem.
The intrigue escalated last week when OpenAI announced its models had disproved the exponential time hypothesis, upending a foundational assumption in computer science.
The new findings have triggered more shock and awe in academia. Yet in all that frenzy, here are five ways Margalit, who chairs Vanderbilt’s math department, says mathematicians are finding hope in the age of AI.
1. AI is a finisher, not an originator.
The hope: AI didn’t solve these problems in a vacuum. It succeeded where humans had brought ideas close enough to a breakthrough.
The context: “The problems solved were the ones humans were closest to solving,” says Margalit. The AI failed on thousands of other problems where human literature hadn’t already pointed the way.
2. The machines still make mistakes.
The hope: Mathematicians and others reviewing the AI solutions have found flaws.
The context: As mathematicians read the proofs, a number of the released papers are facing retraction because AI made the same logic errors as humans, Margalit said.
3. It’s brute force, not brilliant intuition.
The hope: AI approaches math the way machines approach chess.
The context: OpenAI deployed tens of thousands of agents to tirelessly smash together known theorems in millions of configurations. “That’s amazing, but like chess, it’s about trying all possibilities to get from where we are to where we want to go,” Margalit notes. The AI isn’t asking interesting questions.
4. AI acts as an ultimate calculator.
The hope: Humans used to write entire books of integrals until software came along and automated the process. AI can also be a tool for acceleration.
The context: This didn’t kill math; it freed humans to explore harder concepts. “When an integral appears in a sophisticated problem, I no longer devote my research to it,” Margalit says.
5. Math is about understanding, not just correct answers.
The hope: The ancient Greek word “mathematika” translates to “the study of learning,” he says. Margalit credited mathematician Bill Thurston, the author of a landmark 1994 essay that has taken on new life, with this observation: If a computer spits out a list of 10,000 prime numbers, it can’t tell us about why they exist or the patterns they form.
The context: The universe already knows the answers. Math is the process of the human mind grasping them. “If a computer tells me an answer, that doesn’t give me insight or satisfaction,” Margalit says. “Mathematics is the human endeavor of understanding.”Share this story.

Celebrities are shilling AI companies. Lionel Messi, probably among the top five most famous people on Earth right now, just did a World Cup ad campaign for OpenAI. Some genuinely seem to be hooked on the beguiling guidance of the tech. Others just seem to be chasing another big payday. But why does it keep happening, even in the face of massive public backlash?
There are fewer better places to start than with Charles Porch, a man who was recently profiled in New York Magazine, which christened him “OpenAI’s Hollywood Whisperer.”
Porch worked at Instagram for 15 years, where his job was basically convincing cool famous people to use the platform, turning it into the cultural powerhouse that it is today. In 2025, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman hired Porch to do the same thing for ChatGPT. Among his list of A-list stars he’s brought into the AI fold is actress Gwyneth Paltrow, whom he arranged a dinner with Altman in September (after a public freakout about rumors of the dinner caused it to be postponed).
A self-styled “tech optimist,” Porch described himself as “not a business-development guy or the brand guy,” but the “relationships person that’s bringing everyone along on new tech” — with that “everyone” all being in a certain tax bracket and with a certain number of Instagram followers.
So one side of the reason why celebrities are falling for AI? Because there’s a very concerted, moneyed, effort to do that by AI companies. Famous people are often targeted this way. It’s why so many of them end up hiring quack doctors, fall into bizarre cultish beliefs if not join actual cults, or throw away their credibility by siding with a person or brand that is decidedly, overwhelmingly, uncool, or goes against everything they appeared to stand for. (A prime example in Hollywood recently: Martin Scorsese’s endorsement of an AI-storyboarding startup.)
But there’s a darker side to this that an anonymously quoted media executive shines a light on. And that’s the fact that celebrities — actors, especially — are more broke and desperate than ever.
“Right now in Hollywood, only the top people are working,” the executive told NYMag. “It’s why Robert Pattinson is in every project or why Nicole Kidman is literally in everything you watch on TV. The next tier down is not getting jobs.”
You can’t overlook the reason why. The tech industry has helped debilitate the movie industry, in a not dissimilar manner to how platforms like Spotify are a parasite sucking money away from artists. Now AI, another tech industry innovation, is coming along and threatening to be the final nail in the coffin by automating tons of creative work. AI can’t replace human creativity, but it can provide a serviceable substitute. Meanwhile, the very uncertainty that AI casts over the industry is enough to spook the bosses running it and cause them to start pinching pennies. Ergo, less work for all.
Then AI, with its immense wealth and unchecked spending, comes marching into the ruins of what it helped destroyed. An obscene amount of capital is being poured into it, and its shining opulence is enough to blind almost anyone.

BREAKING: JD Vance says the Iran war cost Republicans the midterm elections!
He just put out a long tweet about the thrashing Republicans took last night, and according to him, the problem wasn’t that Republican voters stayed home. They actually showed up in strong numbers, but many who backed Trump and Vance in 2024 ended up voting for Democrats.
Vance says his team had spotted something strange before the election. Turnout looked good, but one of his analysts warned that plenty of those voters were angry enough to switch sides. And a pollster later found out what was driving that anger.
When former Trump voters were asked what would bring them back, four answers stood out:
1. End the war
2. Bring down inflation and living costs
3. Put America First
4. Change America’s relationship with Israel
That’s a pretty striking list coming from voters who helped put Trump back in the White House just two years ago.Vance admitted Republicans could have done a better job talking about the economy, but he says the war was the real reason they lost. He even pointed out that Trump himself had said so.
And he pushed back at Republicans offering immigration amnesty as the solution, warning that anyone selling that idea was lying. He also had a message for voters who had warned Republicans this would happen: “You’re right, you did tell us so.” Vance is openly acknowledging that many of Trump’s own voters turned against Republicans over the war, inflation, and foreign policy.

NEW: Netanyahu calls for a broad national government led by Likud and warned that a left-wing government relying on Arab parties would “dismantle” Israel from within.
Netanyahu said radical Islam threatens Israel from the outside through Iran and its proxies, and from within through Islamist parties of terror supporters.
He said a government dependent on those parties will not fight our enemies, it will simply dismantle us from the inside. This is a matter of life and death.
He accused the leaders of the left-wing bloc of trying to form a narrow minority government that relies on these terror supporters, and of setting impossible conditions to block a broad national government.
Researchers compared 191 for-profit hospices acquired by private equity firms between 2018 and 2022 with 1,305 similar for-profit hospices that were not.
After acquisition, Medicare paid $993 more per hospice stay relative to comparison hospices, a 5.9 percent increase from a baseline of $16,922.
Average length of stay increased by 6.3 days and patients were more likely to be discharged alive from private equity hospices, with no increase in services provided.
Patients with dementia were admitted more, suggesting that the private equity hospices may have shifted toward patients who need less daily care, which is more profitable under Medicare’s flat daily payment.
The authors say that changing the payment system could reduce that incentive.
The future of federally funded research at Harvard Medical School — supported by taxpayers and done in service to humanity — remains uncertain.Learn more.
A federally-funded study of for-profit hospices acquired by private equity firms found that Medicare spending rose by 5.9 percent per hospice stay after acquisition, compared with similar for-profit hospices that weren’t acquired. The increase was driven mainly by longer stays, with the average length of stay rising by 6.3 days. This was likely related to shifts toward patients who use less daily care, including a significant increase in the share of patients with dementia, consistent with a larger share of patients discharged from hospice alive.
Medicare pays hospices a set daily fee regardless of how much care a patient needs. The researchers found no increase in services at private equity-acquired hospices, and instead fewer social work visits. Specifically, there were no increases in physician, nurse, or home health visits that may have kept patients alive longer. This suggests the increased length of stay and live discharges may be partly due to a shift toward patients who need less ongoing care, beyond what other for-profit hospices were already doing, the researchers said.
“The goal of hospice is to provide respectful, person-centered care that helps terminally ill people approach end of life with dignity, while minimizing pain and suffering,” said senior author Zirui Song, associate professor of health care policy in the Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical School and HMS associate professor of medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, where he is a general internist. “For patients and their families, this comes at a stressful time in their lives, and we have a responsibility to make sure the system works well for all of the people who need it and that it is financially sustainable for our aging population.”
Over the past two decades, U.S. hospice ownership has shifted from mostly nonprofit to nearly three-quarters for-profit, and private equity firms are now the fastest-growing type of owner. In a typical private equity deal, a firm buys a company with a mix of money from investors and borrowed money. The debt is usually assigned to the company that is purchased, which must then generate revenue to pay it down, plus interest. Firms also have strong incentives to repay investors quickly, which requires additional revenue.
For this study, the researchers wanted to see what happens to care and costs when a hospice that was already for-profit is acquired by private equity. Since both kinds of hospices serve the same population under the same payment system and with a profit motive, would there even be any difference?
The researchers used Medicare fee-for-service claims to compare 191 hospices newly acquired by private equity firms between 2018 and 2022 with 1,305 matched control hospices that were for-profit but not owned by private equity firms. The study looked at the two years before and the two years after each acquisition to see what changed, and it compared that to how things changed in the control group.
The research showed there were significant differences.Underlying the increase in spending, patients at hospices acquired by private equity stayed in hospice longer than patients at control hospices. A smaller share had very short stays of less than a week, more stayed longer than six months, and patients were more likely to be discharged from hospice alive.
A shift in which patients were admitted
There was also a change in the mix of patients admitted to hospices after acquisition by private equity. The share of patients with dementia rose from 22.6 percent to 23.8 percent, while the share at control hospices did not change.
In the study, the two biggest groups of patients in hospice were people with dementia and people with cancer. Medicare pays the same daily fee for a patient with dementia whose decline is gradual and who needs relatively few services as it pays for a person with cancer who needs frequent visits and complex pain management. The cost of those services and provider visits comes out of the daily fee.
The researchers checked to see if the longer stays and live discharges could be explained by a difference in the care delivered. Did hospices provide more services after private equity acquisition? The answer was no. There was no significant change in total visits or time spent on visits per week, and if anything, the patients received fewer social work visits.
The more likely explanation for the longer stays and live discharges was a shift toward admitting patients who required less care, Song said.
“That makes sense from the point of view of a for-profit facility that looks to generate revenue under this payment system,” Song said. “The bigger question is whether that is the best payment model for meeting the needs of people who need hospice, or of ensuring that Medicare spending is sustainable.”
The researchers wrote that policy changes to Medicare’s hospice payment system may be warranted. One option is adjusting the daily fee by a patient’s clinical need. This could be based on patient diagnoses, similar to how hospitals are paid. However, although adjusting for patient risk could reduce the incentive to select lower-risk patients, it could also encourage coding to maximize payment, the authors caution. Other options include separating out fees for needed care, with monitoring to protect against unnecessary use or overbilling of services.
“As the population ages, we should make sure that high-quality hospice care is available for all the patients who need it, as well as sustainable for the Medicare program,” Song said.
Authorship, funding, disclosures
Sneha Kannan of the University of Pittsburgh was the first author of the study. Additional authors include Julia Driessen, Jeremy M. Kahn, and Catherine Mankiw.

Not long ago, ChatGPT hit a wall the moment a question fell outside its training data. Today, it searches the web to answer almost anything, and that shift is winning over users.
At a fireside chat in New York City, Adam Fry, ChatGPT’s consumer product lead, shared that an internal OpenAI analysis found ChatGPT now handles roughly one fifth as many queries as Google, which has dominated search for decades. To put that in perspective, Google dominates about 90% of the worldwide search market, while its closest rival, Bing, has just over 5%. That means ChatGPT’s query volume would be more than three times Bing’s.
“What people came to ChatGPT to start, if you go back about two years, was really like writing help and coding help, and those wouldn’t be things that you really search for, but what we’ve seen over the last year is people have really sort of grown into all these other topics,” added Fry.
That growth is indicative of ChatGPT’s overall popularity, which has grown from one billion to 1.2 billion users in the last two months. Other features OpenAI has developed to continue to improve the ChatGPT experience have also continued to gain traction, such as voice mode, allowing users to naturally hold conversations with ChatGPT, which now has 250 million weekly active users, and image generation, which generates 1.5 billion images per week.
While the Voice Mode experience isn’t widely adopted, with only 20% of users relying on it, Fry explained it is important for the team to continue to build on it as users who start using voice mode continue to use voice mode and dictation for interacting with ChatGPT. A big bottleneck, Fry explains, is simply the user’s ability to discover the tool, which OpenAI hopes to improve. Additionally, on Tuesday, OpenAI announced that Voice Mode is expanding to the ChatGPT Finances experience.
The improvements don’t end there, including the long awaited change in the works: finally combining the “Chat” and “Work” tabs. Currently, the two tabs add a layer of friction to make users choose between a conversation and a task, which can be confusing. Fry shared that OpenAI plans to bring them together into one interface, with the model inferring whether you want a quick reply or a longer, agentic task. TechCrunch has already reported that OpenAI is rolling out this redesigned experience to select users for feedback before it is rolled out widely, meaning that it could be coming to users soon.
While ChatGPT’s growth is likely due to the constant improvements that OpenAI makes to the user experience, it’s also worth mentioning a major change that could have had the opposite effect: ads. Realistically, nobody likes when ads are shoehorned into a platform, but OpenAI’s’ rollout of ads in ChatGPT has not seemed to hurt its user numbers. As a matter of fact, Fry explained that many people are finding it useful in certain settings, such as for hotel bookings, as it’s helping them find what they need more quickly. Part of this success, and what OpenAI has done really well, is putting a lot of thought into user intent, privacy and ad placement integrity, as my colleague Nat Rubio-Licht explains in a recent feature. For instance, the company claims it does not share any of your data with the ad companies, and ads are only shown on queries that seem appropriate, not of a sensitive matter. Ultimately, OpenAI understands what rivals like Meta seem to be missing: User trust is hard won and easily lost, and no amount of ad revenue is worth that cost. Getting ads right by nailing user trust and utility from the start only serves to aid OpenAI on its path to upending Google’s search dominance and becoming the go-to for consumer-facing AI.
During the 30 years of the Troubles, policing in Northern Ireland was a major area of division. The Good Friday agreement brought big changes in policing and justice, including the creation of the Police Service of Northern Ireland. This replaced the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC), 25 years ago on November 4 2001.
At the time of the agreement in 1998, only around 8% of the RUC was Catholic – a community which made up roughly 40% of Northern Ireland’s population. While the IRA’s campaign to target and kill police officers undoubtedly deterred Catholic participation, so did the perceived unionist orientation of the organisation itself.
The agreement resulted in the Independent Commission on Policing, chaired by Conservative politician Chris Patten. This recommended a “new start” – a police service which would be representative and have the confidence of both communities.
Following radical structural and symbolic change, the police service has become arguably the most successful institutional achievement of the wider peace process.
Changes included a new name, badge, and an extraordinarily expensive voluntary severance scheme (costing roughly £500 million). A time-limited recruitment strategy involved the appointment of new officers on a controversial 50% Catholic and 50% “other” basis.
Undoubtedly, the organisation has transformed from its RUC inheritance. At the time of writing, about 31% of police officers are Catholic.
Evidence shows 91.5%of people in Northern Ireland feel safe in their community. And nearly three-quarters view the PSNI as effective in keeping areas safe. Around 92% of respondents felt confident contacting the PSNI if needed, and roughly 65% feel the police service represents their community. But importantly, unionists had more confidence in policing (73.8%) and nationalists less so (58.2%). The force also enjoys the backing of all political parties in Northern Ireland.
But policing is still buffeted by politics, both present and past and lower confidence among nationalists is indicative of concerns that remain 25 years after the Patten commission. A series of internal and external controversies have exacerbated this.
The resignation of PSNI chief constable Simon Byrne in 2023 was the result of a contentious and difficult series of events around the policing of a Troubles commemoration during a COVID lockdown. The organisation came as close as it ever has to being in complete crisis. The legacy of the past, concerns in the present and the still-divided Northern Irish community have all played a part.
In addition, Catholic applications are dropping precipitately and some political parties are calling for a “Patten II”amid concerns that the organisation has lost its way.
While the PSNI has been hoping for an application rate of around 50% from Catholics, only 26.7% of applications in a recent recruitment drive were from Catholics. As one young Catholic woman commented wryly during my research: “Sure, that’s not even a pass mark.”
My research with Jess Bonnan-White suggests several ongoing issues. They are organisational, rather than political. The most significant is its relationship – organisationally, historically and psychologically – with its RUC past.
Transformation and challenges
The incorporation of the RUC into the PSNI was a substantive issue when the service was created in 2001. Those who held an affinity to the RUC had argued for the preservation of its legacy. One outcome was that the RUC name was incorporated into the title deeds of the PSNI.
Transformation was obvious in the outward-facing sense – changes to the force’s name, symbols and uniform. But the RUC culture was preserved in the material reality of the police estate, commemorative medals, artefacts in the Newforge sports complex (which is still home to the RUC Athletic Association), and the norms and attitudes within the service.
It is perhaps the culture in which the past is most evident. As former PSNI chief constable George Hamilton said in 2019: “Around 80% of the current police service were never in the RUC, but when you … see the photographs on the walls, when you listen to the stories in the police canteen, you’d think it was the opposite.”
This pairing of outward change and internal continuity has created an inherent tension and a cultural confusion. At times, this has actively hampered the service’s transformation.
Additionally, high-profile inquiries, including into atrocities such as the 1992 Sean Graham bookmaker shop murders, and accusations of RUC collusion, have dogged the PSNI. As the RUC was incorporated into the establishment of the PSNI, it has been difficult to fully separate the old from the new.
Where are we now?
Since it was established, the PSNI has lost two officers to dissident republican violence. It is fortunate not to have lost more. Our research suggests that the murders of Catholic officers Stephen Carroll and Ronan Kerr, and incidents that were foiled have fundamentally altered the trajectory of how “policing with the community” can be implemented.
In returning to a security mindset, the PSNI has been unable to integrate itself authentically into both communities, as envisaged by the Patten reforms. Such attacks have also acted as a major disincentive to Catholic recruits, exacerbating the challenge within the nationalist community.

A culture of fear internally and wariness externally have been compounded by organisational mistakes, such as the enormous 2023 data leak, which saw the names and roles of all staff briefly disclosed online.
For Catholics, policing can still mean alienation from their communities and families. There are also significant concerns internally about psychological safety – and worries that Catholic officers do not feel protected by the organisation.
Other fears – concerns around promotion and advancement, evidence of greater referrals of Catholic officers to professional standards, perceived inadequate transmission of intelligence to allow officers to keep themselves safe, as well as other forms of sectarianism – have come up in my discussions with officers.
Undoubtedly, the organisation faces significant structural problems. Brutal funding cuts, low officer numbers and a policing environment that is still volatile have all reduced the appetite for risk. While some of these challenges are common to policing in both Great Britain and the Irish Republic, the PSNI’s own research suggests that it has been hit much harder by financial cuts than comparative forces.
Despite these challenges, the PSNI has proved extraordinarily resilient. Ironically, the elements that underpinned this resilience – structures, history and organisational memory – have also been why it has struggled to build and maintain the confidence of the Catholic community.
The PSNI may have transformed from its RUC past, but it is still policing a divided society.
