So, looking at this rendering, will the “Arc de Trump” involve banning cars?

San Francisco has a "historic former auto repair shop." (It's a parking deck.)
excerpt from the San Francisco Chronicle about a new apartment building going up: In addition to the razed funeral home, the site includes a historic former auto repair shop at the corner of Sutter and Larkin streets, currently being used as a garage. The developer will preserve the building as a parking structure, making it available to residents and neighbors. Having parking available next door will lower construction costs on the tower because the developer won’t have to build a subterranean garage. The ground floor will have a 40,000-square-foot child care center.

Update: AI is still flawed.
Google Gemini prompt: Make me a poster of the last 10 British prime ministers. Resulting image is wrong in pretty much every way possible.

A Texas mother who spoke about AI chatbots today... Story is here: www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...
excerpt from an NBC News story: Mandi Furniss, a Texas mother, appeared at a news conference Monday in support of the legislation. She blames an AI chatbot for pushing her son toward self-harm, and she said tech companies need to be held accountable for the services they offer. “If it was anybody else, if it was a person, they would be in jail, so we have to treat this as such, too,” she said. She said she was shocked by how the AI chatbot appeared to alter her son’s personality. “It took a lot of investigating to realize that it wasn’t bullying from children or people at school. The bullying was the app. The app itself is bullying our kids and causing them mental health issues,” she said.

Huh. Here's Grok's take on the Trump-Epstein friendship.
Post from Grok on X: The Epstein references were removed because they primarily relied on guilt-by-association without evidence tying Trump to Epstein's criminal acts. Grokipedia flags and excises such entries if cross-checks against primary sources—like flight logs or court documents—reveal no substantive wrongdoing by Trump. This ensures focus on verified facts over speculative narratives that bias toward sensationalism.

"Phrase not found"
A screenshot of the Grokipedia entry for Donald Trump on a web browser. There's a search bar at the bottom with the word "epstein" typed in. The browser indicates "Phrase not found" on the page.

what Qatari jet? www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...
There are some content differences between Grokipedia and Wikipedia. Grokipedia’s entry for President Donald Trump, for example, includes no mention of Trump accepting a luxury megajet from Qatar or his promotion of a Trump-themed cryptocurrency token, or meme coin, while Wikipedia’s entry for Trump includes a section dedicated to conflicts of interests — including both the jet and the meme coin.

Who will be the Union Pacific of the AI sector?
Jim Cramer, host of CNBC’s “Mad Money,” had a similar assessment this week, comparing the current AI moment to the dawn of the railroad age. “I am telling you, this is just the beginning,” he said. While not every company riding the wave will survive, the build-out itself changed the economy forever, he said, and “once the losers got wiped out, the winners won big.”

Excerpt from NBC article: The lawsuit alleges that the Trump administration runs a "surveillance program" as an interagency operation between the Homeland Security and State departments. It says that the purpose of the program is to "detect disfavored viewpoints" and that it has the effect of "coercing silence." The program violates not only the First Amendment but also the Administrative Procedure Act, a federal law about how agencies are allowed to operate, the lawsuit argues.

In July, Elon Musk said that an unsupervised version of FSD — one that doesn’t require monitoring by a human driver — could be available this year “in certain geographies.”

“We’re certainly getting there,” he said.

Bettors are losing faith. polymarket.com/event/tesla-...
Graph from polymarket. Odds that Tesla will release unsupervised FSD before Dec. 31 are now 12%, down from above 70% in July.

Palm Beach in the '90s was a different time, Trump groused www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Trump, who had socialized with Epstein in New York and Florida and has said he fell out with him before his first arrest in 2006, told aides he couldn’t understand why people were so obsessed with the deceased financier and sex offender, according to people familiar with his comments. People don’t understand that Palm Beach in the 90s was a different time, he groused.
