Quite uncomfortable (scary?) to me reading this about tests on #AI :
“Some, likeGoogle, have dragged their feet on safety reports, while others have published reports lacking in the usual detail.”

Elon Musk promised he would eliminate the nearly $2 trillion budget deficit in year one. But DOGE won’t just fall short of Musk’s deficit-reduction goals, Jonathan Chait writes. It will, in all probability, increase the deficit—by a lot. theatln.tc/HHz6dJrj

She wanted to destroy the EU but used EU money to illegally finance the bureaucracy of his party

She asked for life ban from public office for embezzling but she is acquitting herself

The ruling is questionable. The hypocritical populism that deceives citizens and destroys democracy is deplorable

Aviano Air Base employees in northern Italy received an email from their bosses demanding they list five key accomplishments from last week, a now familiar demand from Elon Musk, carrying with it the threat of termination if they did not respond. Unions say Italy “is not the Wild West like the U.S.”
