It’s wild that you can just openly bribe the President of the United States with chunks of gold to get
whatever you want, it’s fine, you don’t have to hide it, just say “I am bribing the President with gold,” zero consequences.

Beleaguered Trump Emerges From Hiding to Beg ‘Give Me a Break’ Over Epstein Trump tried to redirect the media’s attention to other powerful figures whose names appear in Epstein’s emails.

“‘Sir, if there’s nothing incriminating in the files—‘ she began before Trump cut her off, shouting, ‘Quiet! Quiet!’”

What is the old man hiding?

Yes — as someone pointed out at the Critical AI Salon I hosted in Ottawa last month, we are currently in the AI equivalent of the pre-sense phase of asbestos, tobacco, and cars without seatbelts.

OECD report shows LNP climate irrelevance, while Safeguard Mechanism among least effective emissions reduction schemes in world The report demonstrates that Australia’s safeguard mechanism remains one of the least effective programs for reducing emissions, and relies the most on carbon credits.

So the Libs are irrelevant? Great we knew that. But an OECD report released overnight put the focus on the actual govt and the Safeguard Mechanism which is quite the dud

OpenAI Is Not Going To Make A Ton Of Money Selling Ads
“OpenAI is going to sell ads on ChatGPT” is the only real answer anybody ever gives me when it comes to how this shitass company manages to fart into the future, and god damn, have any of you ever actually read about how ads are bought and sold?

One of the big tenets of ads is brand safety - which is why Twitter haermorraged so many advertisers during Elon’s ugly takeover. You know what you can’t guarantee an LLM will do?

Anything!

You cannot guarantee that an ad for your brand won’t be placed next to somebody trying to generate a picture of Scooby Doo with a giant pair of tits, and that’s just not going to fly.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too.

I think a huge part of it is that tech VCs and PE are used to frictionless, high-margin software investments done without debt.

This code, however requires significant physical substrate to execute on that must be built from scratch, using massive amounts of debt, water and electricity.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

If this was a hoax, wouldn’t releasing the full Epstein files to the public exonerate Trump? If he had nothing to hide, why would Trump be working so hard to prevent its release?
