High level managers can get hundreds or thousands of emails a day. Most don't have staff to read them, so they just scan subjects/senders and look at a few that seem important. Having an AI read all the emails and guess which are important can be an improvement even if the AI makes mistakes.

He is saying that most of the foreign born population of the USA is on welfare. I live in Silicon Valley where 40-45% of the people are foreign born and I can assure you the vast majority are not on welfare.

The fraud I have seen several times is when companies start shipping product that has NOT been ordered at the end of quarter to make numbers. It gets returned, but in the next quarter. I see no sign that NVIDIA is doing anything like that.

Recognizing revenue when you ship ordered product is pretty standard practice. If the customer returns the product, that becomes negative revenue. If the customer refuses to pay that becomes a bad debt and gets written off. That is all pretty standard.

This is really crazy since in addition to all the other reasons, what he said is covered by the Speech or Debate Clause which says that members of Congress shall not be questioned in any other Place for what they say. IE, only Congress can sanction its members for speech.

Six months from now when the LLM-generated coded crashes at a customer site, who are you going to send to debug it and fix the problem?

Trump will release something he says are the Epstein files, but he's not going to release the parts that implicate him. He will claim they can't be released because of investigations of Clinton, to protect victims or just bold face lie that they don't exist even though everyone knows they do.

I see lots of these in Silicon Valley. In fact the guy across the street and one house down has one.

I can think of several explanations of these facts:
1) James rented the house back to previous owner for a short time.
2) When James bought the house it was a rental and James collected rent for a few months before the tenant moved out.
Has any reporter asked James about the rental income?

The Reuters story says cook described the house as a vacation house on the initial application. You cannot get an FHA loan for a vacation house. That alone does not help Cook. The description was changed someplace before the loan was resold to FHA. Who did that,when and why?

The article says Reuters found the documents reviewing court records of the loan in Fullerton County, GA. It is possible Cook does not have these documents. It looks like Cook told the bank "vacation house", but the bank changed it to "principal residence" when it resold the loan to FHFA.

I have heard some people are asked for their social security number and if the SSA data base shows they are citizens, they are let go. The problem is the SSA DB is not automatically updated for naturalized citizens. You have to go to SSA office, probably with appointment, and show them paperwork.

"[Man's] life is full of risks, but risks he has the courage to accept, because like the explorer, he learns to trust his own capacities to endure, to overcome. What could it mean to speak of risk, courage, trust, endurance, and overcoming when one speaks of machines?"

I've been getting these too. They then claim Democrats and radical judges are trying to undo the tax cuts. Next he will blame Democrats or judges for taking away the tax cuts.

Maxwell was probably the indirect source of the WSJ story. DOJ wants to stop her from leaking anymore. She wants out of jail. It's a negotiation.

The WSJ story probably came indirectly from Ghislaine Maxwell. The DOJ is meeting her to stop any more leaks from her. She wants Trump to get her out of jail.

Bush insists Iraq has WMDs.
Saddam lets UN inspectors in to look for WMDs
Inspectors finds no WMDs
Bush orders UN out of Iraq so he can send army in to find WMDs
Bush finds no WMDs.
Yeah ... really stupid ... and this doesn't get to all the neocon fantasies about making Iraq a democracy...

At this point there is nothing Democrats can do except message on the crazy tariff policies. Any legislation to take back tariff authority from Trump will be vetoed so it will require substantial Republican support to override a veto.
