Nothing really exists in education until there is an OECD test for it. So we can now expect the international "AI literacy" ranking results in 2030, in case any countries wanted yet another way to be seen to perform on a made-up education metric.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

In case you're wondering, Elon Musk owns roughly 400 million shares of Tesla stock (1/8 of the company). Every time TSLA drops by $1/share, Musk's net worth drops by $400 million. A $10/share drop means a $4 billion hit. It's down $40/share today, or a $16 billion loss for Musk (on paper).

Trudeau: "He talked about banking again today in a tweet, which doesn't make any sense because 16 banks are currently active in Canada holding about $113b worth of assets in this country... what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us."
