Count the Dead by the Millions From HIV and tuberculosis infections to millions of dead children, the deadly impact of Rubio, Musk and Trump’s agenda has been quantified.

A new study models the impact of the implosion of U.S.-funded disease treatment and prevention in the developing world β€” and suggests that Elon Musk and Marco Rubio will go down as among history’s greatest monsters if funding and effective administration are not restored.

Everything is blowing up in Elon Musk’s face | CNN Business All it took was losing $100 billion in three months to make Elon Musk change his tune on government work.

The last 24 hours brought a parade of humiliation for Musk, starting with his $20 million losing bet on the GOP candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Hours later, Tesla reported its biggest sales drop ever. Then came a story quoting MAGA insiders who say that Musk has overstayed his WH welcome.

The cruelty bothers me. The nonsensical denials bother me. The moving of the goal posts about what constitutes acceptable behavior bothers me.

But the thing that scares me is the incompetence.

AI search engines cite incorrect sources at an alarming 60% rate, study says CJR study shows AI search services misinform users and ignore publisher exclusion requests.

Columbia Journalism Review tested eight generative AI search tools and found their answers were wrong 60% of the time, and the paid ones actually fared worse than the free ones.

Meanwhile, millions of people trust the way they present total bullshit with confident language.
