I wrote a whole book about AI but I agree with this completely — and also the implication that there are countless other areas of research more important than AI.

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business. WE Pay for

🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”

For the first time in decades, consensus broke at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. The United States cast the lone “no” vote on a document aimed at improving justice systems for women and girls worldwide. Misogyny is the official policy of the US under Trump.

Kash Patel is flying FBI’s $70 million Gulfstream V jet to Vegas “most weekends” where he “Drinks to excess“ at a high dollar private club ‘The Poodle Room’. At $15,000 an hour each trip cost the taxpayers $75-80,000. More if Kash stops to pick up his girlfriend in Nashville #USDemocracy #DemsUnited

Imagine if the government spent $1 billion per day on stuff like this rather than losing wars.

Think about why it’s impossible to imagine trumpczar doing this.

Getting tired of legacy media ripping us off. What gives, @nytimes.com ?

No doubt Pope Leo is shaking in his boots at the thought of trumpczar bringing down his nearly 2000 year old church with more than a billion adherents. Pretty sure the Pope never forgets he answers to his God. Would be great to know for certain who our mad prez answers to.

The teachers pushing back on screens in schools It's not just phones anymore. More teachers and even entire U.S. school districts are cutting back the time students spend on laptops and other screens. How do students really learn - and do screens help or hurt? NPR On Point -Meghna Chakrabarti 4/14

No clue who to credit for this, but I love it. 🤣🤣

Senate Republicans have voted against a War Powers Resolution for a 4th time that would end Trump's war in Iran, as it drags on to its 47th day

Sounds like he had a few martinis before inappropriately speaking on Iran “cease fire” which should have been left to professional drunk, Hegseth.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked my War Powers Resolution that would have ended Trump's unnecessary, unjustified war against Iran. These cowards have had four chances to stop this chaos in the Middle East. And they put Trump's ego before America. Every damn time.

They keep reenacting the gospels in the bad guys’ roles.

The Tennessee legislature has now passed the trans registry bill requiring all medical information about trans people, including therapy notes, diagnoses, and prescriptions be reported to the state so it can be published to the public. apnews.com/article/tenn...

Has sore loser and stupid liar Donald Trump “Truthed” that the election in Hungary was “rigged” & “stolen” yet? Because you *know* it’s coming.

Preemptively announcing you are going to pardon your staff isn’t just rewarding criminals for their crimes—it’s encouraging them to commit new ones.

Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell has been credibly accused of sexual misconduct and rape by four women. I believe them. Swalwell should resign immediately and drop out of the CA governors race. He should also be investigated and prosecuted. Fuck off, Eric. See how easy that was, Republicans?

Israeli bombs that the United States paid for. It is unconscionable we continue to provide aid to Israel as they continue to murder civilians and violate international law in Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank. No more money to Israel’s genocidal apartheid regime.

CBS News has a bombshell interview with a U.S. soldier who survived the deadly attack in Kuwait on the first day of the way -- he says Pete Hegseth is lying about the attack and that the base "was unprepared to provide any defense for itself." www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-wa...

TRUMP: “Do everything I ask or I’ll bomb you back into the Stone Age!” IRAN: “How about, instead, you do everything we ask and we’ll call it a day?” TRUMP: “Deal.” FOX NEWS: “Awesome Trump is the world’s most masterful negotiator!”

That’s not the job. The DOJ is supposed to enforce the law, not serve as the President’s personal law firm. Congress, are you listening?👇
