Smugglers, money launderers and people facing sanctions once relied on diamonds, gold and artwork to store illicit fortunes. Now, criminals are turning to stablecoins, a cryptocurrency tied to the U.S. dollar that exists largely beyond traditional financial oversight.

Nobody wants this shit. Nobody.

The hostile reaction has been so pronounced, in fact, that it feels like a company announcing it would never force AI into its products would carve out a pretty good chunk of the market.
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

We believe healthcare is a right for every American.

But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies.

Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

Der Ex-EU-Abgeordnete Nathan Gill hat gestanden, dass er von Russland bestochen wurde - für Geld machte er im EU-Parlament prorussische Erklärungen. Gill war zeitweise Vorsitzender der extrem rechten "Reform" in Wales. Denkt daran, wenn Rechte nächstes Mal Russland unterstützen.

Es war immer klar, dass jeder Kindergärtner mehr von Volkswirtschaft versteht als die Libertären. Aber, dass Milei so schnell scheitern und sein Zombie-Kapitalismus nach wenigen Monaten schon von Milliardensubventionen von IWF, Weltbank und den USA künstlich am Leben erhalten wird, ist spektakulär.

Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, was allegedly recorded by undercover FBI agents accepting a $50,000 cash bribe last year.

Trump’s Justice Department dropped the case.

So much for being "tough on crime."

Attorney General Pam Bondi declared that federal law enforcement will “go after” Americans for hate speech. This muddying of distinctions between lawful and unlawful speech is dangerous and chilling, Conor Friedersdorf argues:
The Attorney General’s Attack on Free Speech
Pam Bondi stated that the federal government will “go after” Americans “if you are targeting anyone with hate speech.”
