The fatal flaw of AI-driven business models
Oped, Joachim Klement, Published on 02/04/2026
» Hundreds of billions of dollars are riding on the assumption that artificial intelligence will be reliable enough for high-stakes work. New research suggests it may never be. The AI tools that power ChatGPT and its rivals -- known as large language models, or LLMs -- are a genuine productivity-enhancing innovation. But they have serious shortcomings, most notably, their tendency to hallucinate, or make things up.

Cornered Orban at risk of losing next election
News, Gwynne Dyer, Published on 28/03/2026
» Viktor Orban has not aged well. When I met him in Budapest two months before the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, he was a typical hyper-ambitious student leader. Anybody who has been to university knows the type: fluent, ruthless, perpetually on the look-out for the main chance, and oddly old still to be a student. (He was 26.)

"America First" and "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) were supposed to be about an inward turn to repair, replenish and rebuild an externally overstretched and internally weakened country, weighed down by unnecessary global entanglements, unsustainable national debt, and unimpeded mass migration. It seemed for a time that the MAGA movement to prioritise America above and beyond the international system and its constituent parts had found its final prophet in President Donald J Trump. But now, somehow, President Trump has betrayed the movement that has carried him to office by waging a disastrous war on Iran in cooperation with Israel.
Truth will prevail over Russia's war on Ukraine

The Kremlin has constructed a series of myths that revolve around Ukraine's Revolution of Dignity, which Russia labels a "coup d'état by a junta," the alleged "threat from Nato", the so-called "protection of Russian-speaking population", and the sham referendums conducted at gunpoint in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, which are legally null and void.
