One of the things that stood out to me at the Paris AI summit was a few American labs pitching the idea of “authoritarian vs democratic AI” and I remember thinking at the time - a substantial chunk of US tech has genuinely forgotten that countries exist that are neither America nor China
Even Wired is now reporting the European US tech divestment I have been advising my consulting clients for weeks now.
And yes, it is happening.
And yes, the lost bookings to hyperscalers will be in the hundreds of billions, or trillions of dollars range.

I happen to have friends with diabetes, cancer, and MS too. This includes my friend’s young daughter who was recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. I’m fighting against the Republicans who want to strip the ACA protections they need so they can continue to get lifesaving care.

People with chronic illnesses like diabetes or MS need healthcare services that often exceed annual limits. Without ACA protections, they’ll be left without treatment. The ACA Saves Lives, but Republicans want to end these protections.
Do you have friends/family with diabetes, cancer, or MS?

Significant evidence suggests that anti-Tesla protests that encourage physical violence are being driven by bad actors aiming to accelerate violence and martial law. The public should engage in economic boycott and anti-Tesla information operations, but AVOID physical engagement.

There is no "constitutional crisis." What's happening is actual sedition.
You see, there's no good faith dispute between different branches of government.
What's happening is that enemies of the state storm government buildings with use of force and with the intent to illegally destroy these.
