The world's richest 0.001% now control 3x as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity combined.

56,000 wealthy individuals have more than roughly 4 billion people.

Trump is letting NVIDIA export cutting-edge AI chips that his own DOJ revealed are being illegally smuggled into China.

His own DOJ called these chips "building blocks of AI superiority."

It appears Peter Thiel found a mouthpiece to carry his bizarre ideas to the cult.

Nonsensical, yet chilling.

What would you want to know about AI in order to respond to a trumper who might repeat this in your presence?

Every month for the last 77 years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has estimated Americans' unemployment rate

This streak dies tomorrow

Govt staff could not survey Americans about whether they're working or looking for work in Oct, the 1st time in 934 months

This blind spot will remain forever

Scary. There are many ways bank examiners ought be preparing for greater use of AI, similar to others, such as in education. Ensuring attention to and knowledge of AI stays with the 1% seems to girder the administration’s goals.
Great news for bank managers & owners who get to profit from heaping on risks until the dice come up snake eyes. Then, the public will be forced to swallow their losses & bail them out.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

When you ask ChatGPT a question, you're in control of the information you're sharing, EFF’s Lena Cohen told @USAToday.com, but “when you're using the Atlas browser for day-to-day tasks, it's easier to forget that all of your activity could be sent to OpenAI."

An enlightening thread that may change forever your feelings when reading The Night Before Christmas…
learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

"Experimenter bias" refers to a mistake in scientific studies where the experimenter wants to see something, and so unconsciously designs protocols to prove what they want to see. RFK here provides an example, Let me explain what we might see based on this. 🧵

It’s also going to buy AES, one of the major power providers for Big Tech data centers.

Good.

Trump can’t illegally fire a Fed governor just because he wants to find someone who will enable him.

If the courts continue to follow the law, Lisa Cook will remain in her job.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

It says a lot that Trump can find $20 billion to bail out Argentina, but won't help the millions of Americans who are in real need at home.
