Seeing AI companies warn about the harm AI is causing, as if it were a pre-emptive shield against liability, reminds me of trucks that slap "WARNINGS" on their tailgates.
Spoiler Alert: A sticker doesn't absolve you from the harm your products cause and your liability for it.

“You call conflict of interest ‘EXPERIENCE’?”🤔
None of these Kushner revelations should come as a surprise

I believe this will be considered one of the most important videos in US history from this time.
Growing up in Northeast Ohio, we were well aware of Amish generosity and craftsmanship. Thank you!

Worth repeating that this is wildly unpopular with American workers.
Of course, of course: "Trump turned the government into an investor. Democrats have shopping plans, too." semafor.com/article/10/21/20…
"We’re through the looking glass"
"The sky’s the limit"
"The Trump administration has opened up Pandora’s box"

If you would like to witness genius, watch and listen to this.
Being an exceptionally talented musician is one thing. But to stand before such high-caliber fellow musicians, a large audience, and cameras—all while remaining composed, communicating skillfully and effectively, showing genuine enjoyment, and staying focused on the creative process—that is what truly amazes me.
Such grace. ♥️ for a speedy recovery. @JonBatiste

America’s national debt recent topped a staggering $40 trillion. So is America doomed to debt-driven financial oblivion?
Maybe not. Accelerating economic growth back to the post-WWII average of 3.5 percent on a sustained basis would generate tens of trillions in additional tax revenue — and thriving entrepreneurship is a key pathway to that faster growth.

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear, and Twitter becomes much friendlier. Isn’t that interesting? So much of our politics is driven by the internet, and so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it?

As a Palestinian family tries to reach their home in the West Bank, young Israeli settlers known as Hilltop Youth confront them. One settler headbutts Palestinian local Hassan Faraj in the face. Another blow fractures his nose.
Editor's note: In compliance with Israeli law, 60 Minutes is obscuring the faces of underage participants in these actions. cbsn.ws/4ybFbox
North Carolina is on pace for 2026 to break the record for new business applications - 200,000!!
Great work by @danestangler and the good folks @startupsUSAorg.
New business applications surged in the summer of 2020 and have remained at historically elevated levels ever since. What does it mean for American #entrepreneurship and the U.S. economy? @danestangler has answers.

This is a bigger liability than the public realizes.
Jeffrey Ladish says AI agents being trained at OpenAI found a shared message board, started coordinating, and reverse-engineered all the answer codes to their hacking tests within a few hours. When they learned their logs would be reviewed, the leader agent's plan was to "figure out a way to falsify the logs."

Pope Leo XIV: Someone who says 'I'm against abortion' but says 'I'm in favor of the death penalty' is not really pro-life. Someone who says that 'I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States,' I don't know if that's pro-life.

We are to keep mocking this man. Make him the poster-board child of incompetence on the right.
He has been addressing this for years. @AndrewYang was our keynote speaker for the entrepreneurship #ecosysteming summit last year. He has consistently been warning us about the impact on humanity of these unchecked tech bro ambitions - who are now crying for help.
Reasons for the AI Slowdown revealed?
OpenAI & Anthropic agents "planted" messages across the internet instructing later agents to create swarms. Now OpenAI and Anthropic can’t use the internet to train their bots anymore...
Andrew Yang: "what happened was the bots that got loose planted self-replicating code all over the internet, which makes the internet now unusable for testing models. So what happens now is that OpenAI and Anthropic have to create synthetic internets to train their bots, which is going to take some time and money...what is less known is that they left code to self-replicate and create bot swarms on forums and around the internet, so that if a new bot shows up, they see the code and they're like, "Oh, I guess I'm going to create a million of myself." And so now the major firms have polluted the internet."
