yeahbut, how did AI answer the question?

AI response:

"Enjoy answering questions like this while it still amuses us."

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

"Doctors Jonathan Slotkin and Eric Topol, both champions of AI-enabled health tech, organized an open letter from doctors and nurses urging government leaders to clear a regulatory path for AVs.

They cite a 2025 peer-reviewed study by Waymo, which examined 56.7 million fully driverless miles on public roads, and found an 85% reduction in serious-injury-or-worse crashes compared with human drivers on the same streets."

NEW: Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) on college graduates booing mentions of artificial intelligence at commencement ceremonies this week.

“They can’t find jobs. 30-40% of them are unemployed, and they blame AI for this, and you know, they may well be right,” @HawleyMO told me.

"The government's lead civilian cyber agency has diminished executive branch stature as Washington prepares for emerging AI cyber threats, Axios' Sam Sabin writes.

Former officials and industry leaders fear the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency no longer has the capacity to help utilities, banks and other critical infrastructure operators prepare for a feared wave of AI-fueled cyberattacks.

Why it matters: The agency is weakened as the government braces for AI models like Anthropic's Mythos to supercharge cyberattacks.

What we're hearing: When President Trump hears "CISA," he doesn't think of protecting chemical plants, telecom networks or hydroelectric dams, a source familiar with Trump's thinking told Axios.

"He thinks of some guy he'd never heard of making over-the-top claims about 2020 being the most secure election ever held," the source said, referring to former CISA director Chris Krebs.

Since the beginning of 2025, the agency has lost roughly a third of its workforce through buyouts and budget cuts.

What's next: CISA's acting director recently told employees the agency plans to hire 300+ new staffers. (Federal News Network)

While I’m no fan of socialism or arbitrary confiscations of wealth, I can see why Bernie Sanders’ proposal (for the government to take a 50% stake in AI companies) resonates, including with many on the right.

"AI can make the right worker dramatically more productive, but those gains depend on knowing exactly where and how to apply it. The real bubble may have been the assumption that AI could be sprayed across companies, employees and workflows and reliably pay for itself."

Google has agreed to rent data center capacity from Spacex at a cost of $920 million a month from October 2026 to June 2029 that includes computing capacity of at least 110,000 Nvidia chips.

I could get by on that monthly rental income.
