I‘ve been banging the drum about the Solow Paradox for at least a year. The complete lack of results was predictable.
"Nearly 90% of firms said AI has had no impact on employment or productivity over the last three years, the research noted."

The United Nations says that the Epstein files describe "crimes against humanity".
"So grave is the scale, nature, systemic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity."

So, ICE has imprisoned a 2 month old in the Dilley concentration camp. This little angel's condition is deteriorating. All of this, while a 34 count felon, best buddies with the most notorious pedophile ring in the world, guy who stole classified documents, etc. sits in a comfortable Whitehouse.
