It’s wild that the most unrealistic part of Terminator 2 is now the idea of a tech founder being told their creation will enslave humanity and they decide to destroy their product & company.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of “we actually did in fact find a cure for AIDS”
Evidence is growing that some HIV-infected infants, if given antiretroviral drugs early in life, are able to suppress their viral loads to undetectable levels and then come off the medicine. www.wired.com/story/the-fi...

Meanwhile the BLS *does* have serious problems related to declining data integrity — because Trump has deprived it of resources. Hiring freezes, early retirements, “fork” departures etc. have left the agency so thinly staffed that field offices are closing.

My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good

SCOTUS is allowing Trump to fire (at least for now) the three Democrat-appointed members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The CPSC regulates safety of everyday consumer products.
Guess who recently sued the agency and claimed that it's unconstitutional?
Amazon.

xAI updated Grok to be anti-woke and it’s started calling itself “MechaHitler.”
No better summary of the worldview of people who describe themselves as anti-woke. Even AI figured that out.

Trump is planning to blow up a $7,500 federal tax credit for EV purchases and leases, as well as wind and solar energy tax credits. Tesla has greatly benefited from both, and the unpredictable tariff war has thrown Tesla's supply chain with China into chaos.

Solve illegal immigration, rid us of fentanyl, secure national defense, create manufacturing jobs, generate tax revenue (to fund childcare/cut the deficit/pay for tax cuts/replace income tax), eliminate trade deficits, create leverage for trade deals and now ALLOW US TO SEND LETTERS.

BREAKING: Judge Breyer declines to delay his preliminary injunction schedule and restraining order on the National Guard deployment in LA, so the injunction against Trump STANDS and the timeline that was issued MUST be adhered to despite any possible ruling from the 9th Circuit.

Great news everybody. The US and China have agreed to stick to the framework they negotiated a month ago, which was required because they didn’t comply with the terms of the previous deal they negotiated.

A number of stories of companies replacing workers with AI are simply CEOs putting a positive tech spin on cost cutting.
It’s telling that instead of stories of how AI enables companies to do more, we mostly hear about AI enabling companies to do the same (or lower quality work) with fewer workers.
