This AI discourse is amazing. "We've created this very dangerous thing, based largely on the mass theft of labour, that we should stop developing" - okay, so that means that you should be treated like social and economic vandals, not revered as sages on podcasts.

Three games in and Arsenal still haven't conceded a decent chance all season. Absolutely dominant for that first hour yesterday, always felt confident the goals would come and, like at Villa on Monday, felt comfortable watching the team defend their lead. This team is unbelievably good.

This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.

Overturning the Balogun suspension is absolutely insane work. Not that Infantino has made any attempt to hide his corruption or ties with Trump, but FIFA can’t just pick and choose who the rules apply to/for. I thought the red card was harsh but rules are rules. What a joke.

As one New York financier told Financial Times journalist Gillian Tett, new hires who were seen as “AI natives” are turning out to have alarmingly shallow ideas. So much so, the anonymous finance worker admitted, that his firm now actively avoids seeking out AI-literate STEM graduates, and opts to comb through humanities students instead.

HB 87 has officially become law after Republicans (and two former Democrats) overrode Governor Stein’s veto. Governor Stein vetoed HB 87 because North Carolina should strengthen public education for every student, not continue shifting support away from public schools.
