I’m curious if his grandchildren listen to his speeches. Are their parents okay with this manner of speaking? Are they proud of their father? I would be mortified if my dad had ever spoken like this and would never have let my children think this was okay.

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.

Google has now renamed Lake Ontario for US users. They don’t even show the real name in brackets. I used a VPN to compare: Apple hasn’t renamed it (at least not yet), nor has Dutch service Here WeGo or OpenStreetMap. Yet another reason to ditch Google, and US tech more broadly.
