Why is ANYONE covering Trump's trip to a fucking football game in Tennessee on Saturday. There is no need for any press on that plane. Regardless, it is CONTEMPT OF COURT to ban CNN.

I'm not a lawyer. My first guess would be either that it is, or that it's not because the order was specifically about White House access, and not airplane or out-of-town access. Like a two year old (or a sociopath of any age), he's going to test every boundary, both re: scope & re: consequences.

Are We Losing Control of AI? What’s Driving New Fears
For years, as artificial intelligence has evolved from the stuff of sci-fi movies to an app ordinary people have installed on their phones, tech leaders and some AI insiders have talked about the potential for it to escape human control and wreak havoc on society. Those fears have become impossible to ignore in recent days, driven by advances in the technology, a series of cybersecurity breaches involving AI agents, and new warnings from rank-and-file AI staffers.
