Marietje Schaake (from Stanford's Cyber Policy Centre), asserts (rightly) that if #ArtificialIntelligence is a disruptive as claimed (and will impact a wide range of #workers & careers) then...
'To rebalance the cost-benefit impacts of AI in favour of society — as well as to make sure the necessary response is affordable at all — taxing AI companies is the only logical step'!
The #BigTech firms behind #AI need to pay up (via #taxation) for the disruption their tech will cause... promptly!

'Deranged': Morning Joe pounces on 'lunatic' Trump's latest rant
I have to admit that, much as I like fiddling around in #midjourney and making weird stuff, being able to talk to #ChatGPT about the image you want ("how about a slightly brighter background") from #dalle3 makes it much easier if there's a particular specific thing that you want to make.

SpaceX executives worried Elon Musk was on drugs during 'cringeworthy' all-hands meeting, WSJ reports.
"Musk's drug use, which includes LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, and ketamine, according to people familiar with the matter, is at the center of an extensive new report from The Journal that details how executives at several of the billionaire's companies have struggled to manage his substance use and erratic behavior."

The thing about the doubt people have in the #FBI is that they didn't really try to stop #J6. They don't really want to arrest anyone involved in the #insurrection, even when there are pictures of them doing it, for example #LeeZeldin's intern #IsabellaMariaDeLuca, who is making a career as #MaGATerrorist spokeswoman.

"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."
-John Steinbeck
It's unlikely the same honeypot was being used by Israel, China, Russia, AND South Korea, eh? 😁
It's also not automatically the case that "hired a sex worker employed by a foreign honeypot" implies "actually let slip any classified information". Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Unexpectedly ran into another one of Thomas Dambo’s giant troll sculptures while out walking in a park. This time on Vashon Island. I knew they were around - it’s pretty amazing to just walk along and suddenly there it is. This one has a crown of birdhouses.

Now it's snowing! Not much, and it's not very cold out, and in places it's melting on contact, but still #snowing ! :)
Got to love a good scathing review!
