My Reporting Led to a Landmark Lawsuit. The Case Took 22 Years.

Wait: so the President of the United States shared a video of a fake news report, rooted in a conspiracy theory, that features an AI-generated version of himself promoting a policy that…doesn’t exist?

I made up a fake Donald Trump quote, and he retweeted it A humble sportswriter meets The Greatest Businessman In The World. On Twitter.

The AI boom is unsustainable unless tech spending goes ‘parabolic,’ Deutsche Bank warns: ‘This is highly unlikely’ | Fortune “In the absence of tech-related spending, the U.S. would be close to, or in, recession this year,” George Saravelos says.

DEUTSCHE: NVIDIA "is currently carrying the weight of US economic growth. The bad news is that in order for the tech cycle to continue contributing to GDP growth, capital investment needs to remain parabolic. This is highly unlikely.”
