Idiocracy.

@reaDonaldTrump
The only control or "guardrails" that Al needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!
The Trump Administration has stopped Al "people" from doing bad, or potentially bad, "things," like Dario (Anthropic!), who is now pretending to be a "perfect little angel" - and we will continue to do so! We already have tremendous CRIMINAL and REGULATORY power over these companies! There is a SICK conspiracy going on against Al and Data Centers, and the only one that is happy about it is China. WHOEVER WINS AI, WINS! We are leading China, and all others, and will continue to do so.
Conspiracy Theorists, Treasonists, Traitors, and Leakers,
BEWARE! Thank you for your attention to this matter! President

Talking about public control is just tinkering and on Thames Water he’s even tinkering with the tinkering by backtracking. If he wants hope: tax the wealthy, take water back under public ownership, bring in rent controls & no to new North Sea drilling. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

We are aghast to see yet more divisive and cruel announcements from Reform - threatening to take PIP from over 3 million disabled people. Around 31,000 people - in and out of work - in our district receive PIP and will lose an average of £7k per year. The Green Party condemns this awful proposal.
Wakefield District Green Party councillor for Wakefield North, Kate Dodd says:


"This is not efficiency in public spending - this is outright cruelty. Reform targeting the most vulnerable people in our communities. 


People with disabilities should not be targeted for cuts, they should be helped into work where possible, and helped to live fulfilling lives."

It’s time we sorted out the press. Constant misinformation to protect their donors and fossil fuels is destroying lives and our planet. The Government must step up and stop being cowardly.
Sorry Zack Polanski this long hot summer is not the apocalypse - it's like a gloriously long holiday in France
