Unelected Republicans in Georgia are asking Todd Blanche to declare their voting machines illegal. DOJ has no authority to interfere with state-run elections, but I doubt that will stop them from trying. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

GOP-controlled Georgia election board asks DOJ to declare state’s voting machines illegal
The request represents a major assault on the state's voting system by unelected state officials.

Trump has spent 14 months and a grand jury hunting Brennan and Clapper for telling the truth about 2016. Two lead prosecutors have walked. Zero charges. The only thing this probe has proven is that Russia helped Trump. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trumps-sen...

Household debt at a record high. Student loan defaults at a record high. Credit card debt at a near record high. Meanwhile, corporate profits are the highest they’ve ever been. CEOs are paid 325x more than their typical workers. U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year. It's unsustainable.

White House Accord on Super Intelligence
Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities
In order to build a positive future for the American people and the world, we believe every company is responsible for developing its own technology safely and in a way that builds trust with customers and the public.
This starts with every company that is training and deploying frontier models having robust internal processes and controls to ensure that their technology behaves as intended and that any issues are promptly identified and resolved. Therefore, in addition to any other precautions, we believe each company should implement the following four layers of controls and audits:
(1) Implement robust internal controls to monitor the capabilities and alignment of its models during training and deployment around areas like cybersecurity, biosecurity, and chemical threats, and to ensure that its models do not hack or access technical systems in unintended ways.
2) Empower an internal team to ensure all of the controls, monitoring, and detection are operating as intended, and that any issues are remediated.
(3) Partner with an independent external auditor or evaluator to carry out independent assessments of whether the controls, monitoring, and detection are operating as intended.
(4) Designate an independent committee of the board of directors to oversee and receive reports from the teams operating the controls and the intemal and external auditors and evaluators, as well as to ensure any issues identified are remediated.
Together, these steps will give each company, its customers, and the public confidence that the technology is operating as intended.
The participating companies will meet regularly to establish standards and best practices to improve the safety of their systems.
Over time, it may make sense to codify these steps into laws or regulations. Regardless of whether this is required of companies, we believe that implementing these controls and audits is critical to en…Sundar Picha
