Explanations?
1) Incriminating Epstein documents being circulated internally
2) Illegal activities discovered in the business

I think this is my view on "AI" right now:
AI is radium. AI is hydrocortisone.
Both eventually turned out to be very useful in certain circumstances. But the initial urge to put them in everything created a lot of disasters -- and the backlash wasn't great either.

We're gonna destroy 50% of all white collar jobs, college graduates are never going to find work again and Meta is going to force feed so many AI-driven ads into your eyeballs you won't be able to breathe

Of course the real reason turns out to be deeply stupid.
This can be read as the Pentagon refusing to deconflict airspace, so the FAA arguably is doing the right thing, though others who are more expert on this should weigh in. cc @faineg.bsky.social

how does it not bother investors that Elon Musk never actually delivers the thing
if he didn't deliver affordable EVs, the 100% solar-powered Superchargers, the "alien dreadnought" factory, the game-changing solar roof, or L5 self-driving why believe he'll deliver data centers in space or whatever?

It's so un-Ferrari. Disappointing.
We got a peek at the interior of Ferrari’s new Luce electric car, which was dreamed up by famed ex-Apple designer and his firm, LoveFrom. It looks and feels a whole lot like an Apple product.

Every gun shop in America seems to have a neurodivergent young guy who hangs out there all the time and knows more about guns than most.

Part of the answer to “Why are so many mainstream columnists and pundits saying such transparently stupid stuff?” is that they’re still on X, and view the world through the perspective X brings them, and that perspective is dramatically warped.
