That $366 million Elon is spending to try and convince voters that Congress should stay Republican? It's more money than McCain's 2008 campaign spent. But it's also, relative to Musk's net worth, the same as a household at the median income spending $32.

Elon Musk has spent $366 million this election cycle. Philip Bump examines what that kind of money can buy in American politics.

In our course and book _Calling Bullshit_, we posit that If something seems too good, or too bad, to be true, it probably is. Now as a college professor I'm pretty confident that overreliance can AI can harm our thinking ability, but just ten minutes of use? Let's dig into this this study a bit.

i think, in some fairness, that a lot of these people were deeply shaken by 2024 and “this was a realignment” is how they make it make sense. the idea that voters saw 2024 as just another election is disturbing to them.

Nic Cage:

He continued: “How do you survive AI? Amazon is a very AI friendly company to the tune of 50 billion dollars invested to OpenAI. I am not an AI friendly actor. I didn’t sign the waiver to let them use AI on Spider-Noir. It’s kind of like I’m probably not going to be working with that studio again. But that’s OK. So I got to get with these young directors who are Gen Z and they’re going at it their own way, whether it’s through the YouTube culture or whatever it is. They’re doing it from scratch and by hand. I want to get with that.”

It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.

Decades long running joke now confirmed as true.

His solution turns the usual script upside down. Instead of fighting to stay in charge, he believes we should design AI to care about us. The analogy he uses is a mother and her child. The stronger being naturally committed to the weaker one’s survival. “We need AI mothers rather than AI assistants. An assistant is someone you can fire. You can’t fire your mother, thankfully.”
That means building “maternal instincts” into advanced systems, a kind of embedded drive to protect human life. Hinton admits he doesn’t know how to engineer it yet, but he insists it’s a research priority as important as improving raw intelligence. He emphasized that this is a different kind of research, not about making systems smarter, but about making them care. He also sees this as one of the few areas where countries might truly work together, since no nation wants to be ruled by its machines.

Yes, the man who wrote “A Colony in a Nation” believes this. He’s not just, you know, sincerely shocked at something very bad. As if known truths couldn’t reinduce sensations. As if knowledge and feeling can’t be rediscovered. as if one is consistently, uniformly jaded and the world is passé.

I can suggest an equation that has the potential to impact the future:
1พ ...
E = mc2 + Al
This equation combines Einstein's famous equation E=mc',
, which relates energy (E) to
mass (m) and the speed of light (c), with the addition of Al (Artificial Intelligence). By including Al in the equation, it symbolizes the increasing role of artificial intelligence in shaping and transforming our future. This equation highlights the potential for Al to unlock new forms of energy, enhance scientific discoveries, and revolutionize various fields such as healthcare, transportation, and technology.
