In Italy, regional councils in Veneto and Lombardy went about calling for the ending of EU sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Crimea.

Leaked emails show how a Kremlin-linked lobbying group influenced them to do this.

@deepawais@twitter.com @NeurIPSConf@twitter.com Happened to me back in 2012 when I was an international student. Get this: when picking up my passport, they asked "oh you're going to a conference?" The conference happened a year ago. I said "yes" and the passport was returned with visa. Still trying to invent time machine.

And when I think of "intellectual contributions" to AI research, I'd guess that much of the most important work isn't on arXiv at all. It's in books or journals that many computer scientists seem unwilling to learn about (or take the time to read).

In the 1970s, archaeologists in Bulgaria unearthed a vast Copper Age necropolis from the 5th millennium BCE. Inside burial 43 they found the remains of a high status male with more gold than it was found in the entire rest of the world in that period: https://buff.ly/3NU5fhB

I've long used the Ireland/UK history as a metaphor explaining Ukraine/Russia recent history. (A longer history requires using India/UK as a metaphor - Ukraine has a far longer history than Russia.) Here is a good help for those who has to explain what is Ukraine to Russia...

If a third country has any blame for the Russian invasion in Ukraine, this is certainly Germany. Whether this was intentional or out of ignorance is only a minor detail at this point

Regarding Chinese influence in European academia and beyond, could this be a solution taking shape? Would such a solution be applicable to other nations. I tend to think so

The pieces of the puzzle seem to fit too well together. Rheinmetall finding ways to export to Russia (https://twitter.com/kamilkazani/status/1558913080360402944), and vetoing exports to Ukraine. The military industry is finding its ways, politicians just need to represent decisions on stage, or at least win time

Particularly interesting: in the chancellery, the military significance of leopard tanks is estimated to be very high - with them Ukraine would have a real advantage over Russia.

…uhm yes that is THE argument FOR delivering leopards ?

…right ?

New from me: the work of CNET's article-writing AI isn't just riddled with errors. It also appears to be substantially plagiarized from pieces that had been published previously, with no citation

Excellent from @JeremyCliffe@twitter.com:
-Berlin is consciously & deliberately stalling.
-Scholz believes more than bare min. support to #Ukraine would be a dangerous provocation to #Russia
-Chancellery more concerned with restoring ties to 🇷🇺 than UA’s victory 1/3
