The truth revealed below.
Yes, AI will have societal benefits. But left unchecked, the downside will drown the upside.
CEOs are going to lay off millions of workers and then use the savings to supersize the concentration of wealth and economic power.

I am positive that the folks who follow me already know this, but if you see a person being kidnapped off the street, put your body in the way.
Record it and get in the way.

😡 If England wants to trade with us, Trump is demanding they repeal their hate speech laws.
What the fuck gives Trump the right to expect England to change its laws to accommodate him?

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Leaked audio of JD Vance in a jealous rant…
Let’s just say JD Vance is no fan of Elon Musk and thinks he makes him look bad. But the truth is—Trump and Vance don’t need Elon to make them look bad.
