Hey @grok, concise no spin.
During Ukraineβs bloody coup in 2014 in an attempt to install Zelensky, a mysterious fighter known as βDeltaβ commanded a 40-person street-fighting professional unit.
Five veterans of a foreign military helped lead it.
Meanwhile, a foreign ambassador met Dmytro Yarosh, leader of far Right Nazi Sector, a far-right paramilitary movement that played a leading role in the violent uprising that overthrew Ukraineβs president.
They agreed to establish a direct hotline.
@grok,
1)Which countryβs military had these fighters served in?
2)What was Deltaβs ethnic or religious background?
3)Which countryβs ambassador met the far-right leader and agreed to establish a direct hotline?

Bloomington, Indiana, has banned artificial superintelligence.
The city council voted 7β0 to bar superintelligent AI within city limits, including through apps and browsers. Violators face fines and possible prosecution.
Lifting the ban would take approval from more than 95% of registered voters.

It's the classic Chinese fable "Yu Gong Moves the Mountains" (ζε
¬η§»ε±±).
An old man nearly 90 lived with two huge mountains (Taihang and Wangwu) blocking his door. He and his family started digging them away basket by basket. A "wise" neighbor mocked him as foolish. Yu Gong replied that his descendants would keep going forever while the mountains stay the same size, so they would eventually succeed. The gods, moved by his persistence, carried the mountains away.

No. Atedo Peterside founded IBTC in 1989 (which became Stanbic IBTC after mergers). He was CEO then chairman until 2017, but does not own it.
Standard Bank Group (South Africa) holds the controlling ~68.5% stake. Peterside has a minority interest of about 0.9β1.4% (via SITL The First ANAP Domestic Trust), currently worth around $18m.

π²π½ Los Choapas, Veracruz, Mexico 2024.
Trucking businessman Juan Antonio Bautista LΓ³pez survived 2 attempts on his life by the same sicaria in 1 day.
During the first attack, he reclined his truck seat to avoid the gunfire but was struck in the neck. Then drove himself to hospital. On the way, the same hitwoman attacked him, now wearing different clothes.
This time, he was armed, he defended himself with his legally owned firearm. Dude was lucky but how is the average citizen supposed to defend themselves when legally obtaining guns is so difficult in Mexico??
Heritage matters.
There's a nearly 4,000-year-old Egyptian tomb painting of 172 men dragging a giant statue across the desert on a wooden sled, and the most valuable guy in the whole picture is the one standing on the front pouring water on the sand.
He was worth about 86 of the other guys.
In 2014, a group of physicists at the University of Amsterdam got curious about him, built a little sled, and tested it. When you drag something heavy over dry sand, a pile builds up in front of it and you burn most of your effort bulldozing that pile. Add the right amount of water, somewhere around 2 to 5 percent, and the sand gets about twice as stiff, the pile never forms, and you need roughly half the pulling force. Which means about half the people.
Keep that guy in mind while you watch this clip. AI can now make a pretty convincing video of giants carrying pyramid blocks around like cafeteria trays while regular-sized people stand there watching, complete with fake film grain and a caption dating it to 2700 BC. The men who built the Great Pyramid stood around 5'5", and we know a surprising amount about how they pulled it off because one of them kept a diary.
His name was Merer. He ran a crew of about 40 boatmen, and his logbook is the oldest papyrus with writing on it anyone has ever found. It covers five months near the end of Khufu's reign, and it's mostly him writing down where his boats were. Load white limestone at the Tura quarries, float it to Giza in two days, sail back empty in one, do it again. Each boat carried around 30 of the 2.5-ton blocks that covered the outside of the pyramid, and his crew moved roughly 1,000 of them that season. He reported to Ankhhaf, Khufu's half-brother, who was basically the project manager. The papyri sat in a sealed cave on the Red Sea coast for 4,500 years until a French team found them in 2013.
Of course, boats need a river. The pyramids look like somebody plopped them down in the middle of the desert, and for a long time it was hard to explain why they were built there. In 2024, a team led by Eman Ghoneim used radar satellites to find a branch of the Nile about 40 miles long, buried under sand and farmland, running right past 31 pyramids, Giza included. A lot of the pyramid causeways end exactly where its riverbank used to be. A drought around 4,200 years ago filled it in, and the river that built the pyramids has been hiding under the desert ever since.
The workers left their own bodies behind too. They're buried in a cemetery right next to the king's pyramid, and archaeologists found broken arms set in wooden splints and an amputee who lived for years after the surgery. Their work gangs scribbled names on the walls like "Friends of Khufu."
Zahi Hawass, who ran the Giza plateau for years, called Merer's logbook the greatest discovery in Egypt this century, and if you actually read it, it's a guy keeping track of when his boats showed up.

The only industries I feel have some reasonable claim to the AI conversations are Arts and Creatives. As a continent we have a very solid foundation and culture in that sector that incorporation of AI isnβt a far fetched idea

Martin Eberhard co-founded Tesla in 2003, three years after selling his last company for $187 million. Elon Musk put in $6.5 million, became chairman, and in 2007 pushed him out.
Today he says he sold his Tesla stock βprobably too soon.β
In the video below, Martin shows where his name was supposed to go on his own car: βMarkβs and mine were not there.β
On July 1, 2003, he and Marc Tarpenning incorporated Tesla Motors.
In February 2004, Musk led a $7.5 million funding round. He put in $6.5 million himself and became chairman.
In 2007, the Musk-led board removed him as CEO. By yearβs end he was out.
The first Roadsters were a Founders Series. A plaque was supposed to carry his signature. When it arrived, he says, it had βall kinds of other peopleβs signatures.β
In June 2009, he sued Musk for libel, slander and breach of contract. They settled that September. Now five people, Musk included, may be called co-founders.
In November 2021, Musk posted that Eberhard was βby far the worst person Iβve ever worked with.β
Asked if he felt targeted: βItβs not that I feel... I was.β
On money: βIβm not a jillionaire or anything, but Iβm fine.β
The case for Musk: his $6.5 million kept Tesla alive, and he has run it since 2008.
The case for Eberhard: he and Tarpenning started Tesla before Musk wrote a check.
Who deserves to be called Teslaβs founder: the man with the idea, or the man with the money?
