Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman says most white-collar work "will be fully automated by an AI within the next 12 to 18 months.”

If that’s true, it’s an economic earthquake.

We need a moratorium on new AI data centers to make sure AI works for workers, not just billionaires.

This message from the US State Department about "not wanting allies to be shackled by guilt and shame" is a pretty direct call-out to the German far-right argument that Germany has spent too long feeling guilty about the Holocaust, and needs to move on and stop doing remembrance.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 Kaja Kallas: If Ukraine's military is to be limited in size, Russia’s should be too. Where Russia has caused damage in Ukraine, Russia should pay.

No amnesty for war crimes; return of the deported Ukrainian children.

This is really very least Russia should agree to if peace is Russia's goal.

🇪🇺 Kaja Kallas on Russia:

Russia is no superpower. After more than a decade of conflict, including four years of full-scale war in Ukraine, Russia has barely advanced beyond the 2014 lines. And the cost? 1.2 million casualties.

This time, CNN actually gets it right. No matter what happens in the mid-terms or in 2028, the era that saw the United States as the leader of the free world has ended. We have gone from beacon of hope to pariah, from advocate for democracy to fellow traveler with despots.
