This one burn is worth more than all AI-generated slop Newsom's team regurgitated.
Pritzker: Over the last four years, we have seen homicides drop in half. That’s something the President should pay attention to. I know he doesn’t read but I know he watches TV so perhaps if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here

Google’s AI Is Destroying Search, the Internet, and Your Brain
Google’s AI Overview, which is easy to fool into stating nonsense as fact, is stopping people from finding and supporting small businesses and credible sources.

That’s a rather peculiar line of reasoning from the UK representative: since the crypto bros are throwing money at Web 3.0, we should apparently respond by wedging “the blockchains naming spaces” into the DNS root. #IGF2025

Well, that was reassuring. The OpenAI representative wrapped up a session on safety in innovation by declaring that AI is already smarter than us. Nothing like a casual existential threat to end on a high note. #IGF2025

That’s an odd one. Numerous registries are offering (selling) IDN domain names, but their mail servers are not compatible with email, including non-Latin addresses.

Jorge Cancio is right. The issue isn’t so much the split of participants into tracks but the absence of joint sessions between those. IGF could look at ICANN to see how to do it. #IGF2025
