Video: Trump, Zelensky and Vance Argue Over Ukraine War President Trump and Vice President JD Vance scolded President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine during a meeting in the Oval Office on Friday, claiming he was not grateful enough for U.S. aid.

Holy crap. Zelensky is a model of respect. I have no doubt that Trump and Vance think this is a show of strength, but they are the shittiest bullies (deeply insecure and weak) at the lunch table. Shameful and ignorant. Kids - don't try this at home.

Top tip. Don’t have insomnia in the middle of a coup.

An executive order has now given DOGE oversight of all government departments.

It’s a complete takeover of the federal government by Musk. A Musk β€˜team lead’ will now make all hiring decisions according to a β€˜data-driven’ model

I guess Grok is now free on Twitter. Must be trying to sway users back.
Just had an interesting convo & generated some #AI images. It’s not great but also not bad. Lots of thoughts πŸ€”

Europeans spend 575 million hours clicking on cookie banners a year.

According to a new piece of analysis at least.

The research piece also claims that clicking on cookie banners costs around 14.375 billion Euros in lost productivity.

Is privacy worth the price?

I prompted this 10 minute #DeepDive episode with a couple of paragraphs that chatGPT wrote about what happens when AI realizes that it is not sentient.

"The Unseen Boundaries: Contemplating the Limits of an Unknown Self"

I think it is fantastic #SWTech.
