    **Trump’s third term is the future — whether he serves it or not **

    Site: The Hill

    Steve Bannon has suggested that Donald Trump will serve a third term, not through a coup but through the establishment of a populist ecosystem that outlives its founder and reshapes American politi…

    Steve Bannon has always had the unnerving habit of saying the quiet part out loud. His recent claim that Donald Trump will serve a third term shouldn’t be dismissed as the usual mix of mischief and media melodrama. He knows the American system bends long before it breaks, and that with the right mix of crisis, charisma, and constitutional craft, even the 22nd Amendment can start to look negotiable.  Trump, now well into his second presidency, stands as both symbol and spark — the center of gravity and the charge beneath it. What Bannon envisions is not a monarch but a machine: a populist ecosystem designed to survive its founder. He understands that power, once embedded in enough institutions, doesn’t need a crown — only momentum.  The groundwork is already being laid. MAGA has grown from a campaign chant into a cultural creed. Its people populate school boards, sheriffs’ offices, statehouses, and think tanks. They run podcasts, policy shops and prayer groups. Some wear suits, others trucker hats, but all speak the same language of suspicion — of media, of elites, of the “un-American” within. It’s less a movement now than a mindset, one that doesn’t require Trump to rule so long as his style remains the standard.  Bannon’s dream — or warning, depending on where you stand — is a future in which Trumpism becomes the default setting of American politics. A third term, should it happen, would not be achieved through a coup but through compliance. Emergency powers would be invoked for “stability,” constitutional limits reinterpreted as “outdated.” History shows that democracies are more often buried by bureaucrats than by bullets.  Imagine an America ten years from now. Eric Trump, the reluctant heir, delivers speeches about “finishing the mission.” Donald Trump Jr. oversees a sprawling media empire that doubles as a political ministry. The judges appointed in the last decade rule on every major issue, their decisions wrapped in the language of “original intent,” their loyalties anything but original. Elections still occur, but more as rituals of affirmation than contests of choice. News networks broadcast them like coronations.  By then, the MAGA movement would have reshaped the very vocabulary of patriotism. To dissent would be “disrespectful.” To question would be “ungrateful.” What was once the slow grind of governance would become a gospel. Departments would not serve citizens, but doctrine — the endless defense of America against whichever villain must exist to sustain the mission.  This brings us back to Bannon. His genius lies in his cynicism. He recognizes that most revolutions fail because they tire. His solution is to make sure this one never sleeps. Through a network of media arms and grassroots influencers, the outrage engine runs around the clock. Each new controversy refreshes the cause. Every critic becomes proof that the system fears them. It’s a loop that feeds itself — part religion, part reality show.  There’s a grim humor in it, the kind America excels at. The country that once mocked dynasties could end up with one. The republic that prided itself on checks and balances might instead specialize in winks and workarounds. The Founding Fathers warned about tyranny, but even they didn’t foresee the algorithm. Bannon did. He understands that power today isn’t seized by armies; it’s streamed by influencers. It spreads not through law but through loyalty — and loyalty, in the age of endless outrage, is an infinite resource.  The moral irony is almost Shakespearean. Trump, the man who built his fortune on branding, has unwittingly become a brand that outlives him. His face may fade, but his tone — that mixture of grievance and grandeur — will echo in every successor who learns to mimic it. The next generation of MAGA will not need to shout as loudly; the culture will already speak their language.  None of this is inevitable, but it is imaginable. America’s great weakness has never been its enemies, but its appetite for the absurd. Bannon knows that a nation addicted to conflict will eventually confuse it for purpose. Keep the people angry, keep the system divided, and power becomes the one stable thing left standing. So when Bannon talks about a third term, he’s not fantasizing about dictatorship. In truth, he’s describing drift — the slow, steady slide from democracy to dynasty. The scariest part isn’t the thought of Trump running again; it’s the realization that by the time he doesn’t need to, the country might already be running on him. And that, Bannon would say with a grin, is the real art of the deal.  John Mac Ghlionn is a writer and researcher who explores culture, society and the impact of technology on daily life.

    The secret to sustainable AI may have been in our brains all along

    Site: PsyPost - Psychology News

    A new technique models the brain’s sparse neural connections. This approach allows artificial intelligence to learn faster and use a fraction of the energy without losing accuracy.

    Researchers have developed a new method for training artificial intelligence that dramatically improves its speed and energy efficiency by mimicking the structured wiring of the human brain. The approach, detailed in the journal <em><a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neucom.2025.131740" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Neurocomputing</a></em>, creates AI models that can match or even exceed the accuracy of conventional networks while using a small fraction of the computational resources.

    The study was motivated by a growing challenge in the field of artificial intelligence: sustainability. Modern AI systems, such as the large language models that power generative AI, have become enormous. They are built with billions of connections, and training them can require vast amounts of electricity and cost tens of millions of dollars. As these models continue to expand, their financial and environmental costs are becoming a significant concern.

    “Training many of today’s popular large AI models can consume over a million kilowatt-hours of electricity, which is equivalent to the annual use of more than a hundred US homes, and cost tens of millions of dollars,” said Roman Bauer, a senior lecturer at the University of Surrey and a supervisor on the project. “That simply isn’t sustainable at the rate AI continues to grow. Our work shows that intelligent systems can be built far more efficiently, cutting energy demands without sacrificing performance.”

    To find a more efficient design, the research team looked to the human brain. While many artificial neural networks are "dense," meaning every neuron in one layer is connected to every neuron in the next, the brain operates differently. Its connectivity is highly sparse and structured. For instance, in the visual system, neurons in the retina form localized and orderly connections to process information, creating what are known as topographical maps. This design is exceptionally efficient, avoiding the need for redundant wiring. The brain also refines its connections during development, pruning away unnecessary pathways to optimize its structure.

    Inspired by these biological principles, the researchers developed a new framework called Topographical Sparse Mapping, or TSM. Instead of building a dense network, TSM configures the input layer of an artificial neural network with a sparse, structured pattern from the very beginning. Each input feature, such as a pixel in an image, is connected to only one neuron in the following layer in an organized, sequential manner. This method immediately reduces the number of connections, known as parameters, which the model must manage.

    The team then developed an enhanced version of the framework, named Enhanced Topographical Sparse Mapping, or ETSM. This version introduces a second brain-inspired process. After the network trains for a short period, it undergoes a dynamic pruning stage. During this phase, the model identifies and removes the least important connections throughout its layers, based on their magnitude. This process is analogous to the synaptic pruning that occurs in the brain as it learns and matures, resulting in an even leaner and more refined network.

    To evaluate their approach, the scientists built and trained a type of network known as a multilayer perceptron. They tested its ability to perform image classification tasks using several standard benchmark datasets, including MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, CIFAR-10, and CIFAR-100. This setup allowed for a direct comparison of the TSM and ETSM models against both conventional dense networks and other leading techniques designed to create sparse, efficient AI.

    The results showed a remarkable balance of efficiency and performance. The ETSM model was able to achieve extreme levels of sparsity, in some cases removing up to 99 percent of the connections found in a standard network. Despite this massive reduction in complexity, the sparse models performed just as well as, and sometimes better than, their dense counterparts. For the more difficult CIFAR-100 dataset, the ETSM model achieved a 14 percent improvement in accuracy over the next best sparse method while using far fewer connections.

    “The brain achieves remarkable efficiency through its structure, with each neuron forming connections that are spatially well-organised,” said Mohsen Kamelian Rad, a PhD student at the University of Surrey and the study's lead author. “When we mirror this topographical design, we can train AI systems that learn faster, use less energy and perform just as accurately. It’s a new way of thinking about neural networks, built on the same biological principles that make natural intelligence so effective.”

    The efficiency gains were substantial. Because the network starts with a sparse structure and does not require complex phases of adding back connections, it trains much more quickly. The researchers' analysis of computational costs revealed that their method consumed less than one percent of the energy and used significantly less memory than a conventional dense model. This combination of speed, low energy use, and high accuracy sets it apart from many existing methods that often trade performance for efficiency.

    A key part of the investigation was to confirm the importance of the orderly, topographical wiring. The team compared their models to networks that had a similar number of sparse connections but were arranged randomly. The results demonstrated that the brain-inspired topographical structure consistently produced more stable training and higher accuracy, indicating that the specific pattern of connectivity is a vital component of its success.

    The researchers acknowledge that their current framework applies the topographical mapping only to the model's input layer. A potential direction for future work is to extend this structured design to deeper layers within the network, which could lead to even greater gains in efficiency. The team is also exploring how the approach could be applied to other AI architectures, such as the large models used for natural language processing, where the efficiency improvements could have a profound impact.

    The study, “<a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neucom.2025.131740" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Topographical sparse mapping: A neuro-inspired sparse training framework for deep learning models</a>,” was authored by Mohsen Kamelian Rad, Ferrante Neri, Sotiris Moschoyiannis, and Roman Bauer.

    Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts announced staff reassignments on Friday in the wake of the conservative uproar over his statement defending Tucker Carlson for interviewing white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Roberts tapped the think tank's executive vice president, Derrick Morgan, to serve as acting chief of staff until the end of the year. Ryan Neuhaus, who was serving in the role, was moved to be a senior adviser. He made the announcement in an email to staff late Friday with the subject line: “Heritage’s Stand Against Antisemitism and for Civilizational Truth.” The email, obtained by The Hill, opened by saying the think tank had “launched and expanded numerous explicit efforts to combat antisemitism" under his leadership. “Our position on Israel is principled and balanced: there’s a great deal of space between believing Israel can do no wrong and blaming it for every wrong,” the Heritage chief wrote. Roberts went on to say that the organization is “also standing firm against cancel culture,” but that “rejecting cancel culture does not mean tolerating evil.” He added, “At Heritage, we understand the moment we are in. This is a time for moral courage and conviction. We will continue to lead—not by silencing dissent, but by confronting and defeating bad ideas with Truth." The think tank president said the changes were made to "ensure we meet this moment with focus and excellence." “Ryan remains a vital part of our team and is joining the Simon Center as a Senior Advisor to work on critical issues," including housing, he wrote. "Ryan’s energy and acumen will be a great benefit to our efforts to preserve the intellectual and moral underpinnings of our nation’s Founding. I know he will flourish in this new role.” Neuhaus had joined Heritage to become chief of staff in January 2025, after serving as legislative director for Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah.). He reposted a number of messages in support for Roberts’s statement on social media, including one particularly controversial statement saying Heritage employees who were "virtual signaling" in response to the statement should "resign if so outraged," and that it "would be addition by subtraction for the institution." Heritage’s B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies, where he was reassigned, is “dedicated to preserving the intellectual and moral underpinnings of our nation’s Founding.”  Morgan, in his role as executive vice president, oversees the organization's policy, communications and government-relations functions. He was previously chief of staff to Heritage's founder and president, Edwin Feulner, who died earlier this year. “This structure ensures we close the year strong — united and disciplined," Roberts wrote in the email to staff. "This change also reflects that we, as a team, must continue to integrate, adapt, and move faster and deliver on Heritage 2.0." Conservative magazine National Review reported on Roberts’s email announcement to staff earlier Saturday. Roberts, who has made the leading conservative think tank more aligned with the MAGA base, posted a video statement on Thursday asserting that a “venomous coalition attacking” Carlson over the interview with Fuentes was “sowing division” and that the “attempt to cancel him will fail.” But he also argued that “canceling” Fuentes “is not the answer." That led to massive backlash from Heritage’s allies in the conservative movement, Republican officials, and even those within Heritage itself — with one staffer telling The Hill that Fuentes “is not someone with ideas worthy of debate.” In response to the criticism, Roberts elaborated Friday on what he abhors about Fuentes’s views in another statement: “He is fomenting Jew hatred, and his incitements are not only immoral and un-Christian, they risk violence.” The conservative civil war over antisemitism, criticism of Israel and who is worthy of debate has also appeared to spark public statements on antisemitism from members of Heritage’s own board of trustees. Trustee Robert P. George, professor of jurisprudence at Princeton University, wrote Saturday in a post on the social platform X that “the conservative movement, though it can and should be a broad tent, simply cannot include or accommodate white supremacists or racists of any type, antisemites, eugenicists, or others whose ideologies are incompatible with belief in the inherent and equal dignity of all.” “I will not — I cannot — accept the idea that we have ‘no enemies to the right,’” George continued. “The white supremacists, the antisemites, the eugenicists, the bigots, must not be welcomed into our movement or treated as normal or acceptable.” Roberts said in his initial video defending Carlson that “the American people expect us to be focusing on our political adversaries on the left, not attacking our friends on the right.” Heritage board trustee John Coleman, co-CEO at Sovereign's Capital, also responded in a in a post online Saturday. “You cannot be a faithful Christian and anti-Semitic (or racist, more generally)," he wrote. "Anti-Semitism is a rejection, on multiple fronts, of core elements of the Christian faith.”

    Scientists Can Find Exposed Dinosaur Bones From The Skies Thanks To These Bright Orange “Miniature Ecosystems”

    Site: IFLScience

    "When first encountering high concentrations of exposed fossil bone like bonebeds, it is often the ‘meadow’ of orange lichen that is noticed first."

    In what might be the coolest solution to "how to find fossils", a new study has revealed how we can take to the skies when trying to find dinosaur remains all thanks to vibrant orange-colored lichens. Two species ( Rusavskia elegans and Xanthomendoza trachyphylla ) were found to grow across as much as 50 percent of exposed fossil bones, but only grew on less than 1 percent of the surrounding rock fragments. Searching for exposed fossils in the landscape? You need only follow the orange-rocked road. What are lichens? Lichens aren’t a singular organism but instead a hybrid colony of algae or cyanobacteria living among a fungus. They’ve been known to grow on everything from delicate rock art to human skulls (hello usnea ), and it turns out they’ve got a taste for dinosaur bones, too. "This pattern of lichen growing preferentially on fossil bone has been noted for decades, but never quantified until now," said Dr Caleb Brown, from the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology, Canada, in a statement. "When first encountering high concentrations of exposed fossil bone like bonebeds, it is often the ‘meadow’ of orange lichen that is noticed first, not the bones themselves." Lichen-colonized fossils A team set out to investigate the phenomenon further at the UNESCO World Heritage Site Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta. Here, armed with remotely piloted aircraft systems (AKA drones), they flew across the landscape in search of lichen-colonized fossils. As you can see, the lichens are quite picky.

The lichens themselves can be brightly colored, but special sensors made it easier to identify patches as they exhibited distinct spectral properties, with lower reflectance in blue wavelengths and higher reflectance in infrared regions. Fossil hunting of the future Flying high in the sky might seem like overkill for something we can find on foot, but there are many potential benefits to using drones to zoom off to where our human feet may struggle to follow. As such, it's hoped the discovery could rapidly speed up future fossil hunts in remote regions, reducing field costs and even the environmental impact of expeditions. "This research highlights how modern organisms can help us to find ancient ones,” added lead author Dr Brian Pickles from the University of Reading, UK. “It's remarkable to consider that these lichens, essentially miniature ecosystems, are founded upon the remains of dinosaurs that died over 75 million years ago. Using drone technology to detect the spectral signatures of the lichens could potentially revolutionise how palaeontologists search for fossils." The study is published in the journal Current Biology.

    Large brains require warm bodies and big offspring in vertebrates, study finds

    Vertebrates have extremely different brain sizes: even with the same body size, brain size can vary a hundredfold. As a rule, mammals and birds have the largest brains in relation to their body size, followed by sharks and reptiles. Amphibians and most fish, on the other hand, have the smallest brains of all vertebrates.
