Don Jr. & Eric have investments in data centers and AI infrastructure. Don. Jr's firm 1789 Capital also has shares in tech companies working on AI. Donald's own stock portfolio itself is heavily invested in Big Tech. When Trump calls reasonable AI safety concerns a "hoax," follow the money.

One small, but powerful way that LLM's are supercharging scamming is by allowing scammers to write perfect context-appropriate prose - emails, invitations, "hey checking in" - that before AI would have this slightly *off* uncanniness that would alert the victim. No longer!

Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke is concerned employees are sending too many long-winded AI-generated emails, forcing recipients to waste valuable time using AI to summarize them

BUSINESS INSIDER

The problem, he said, is that the tools make it easy to pass along work that has not been properly evaluated.

He offered an example: Someone might send an unnecessarily long Al-written email, forcing its recipient to use another large language model to summarize it.
