Worthwhile thread. The Trump FTC decided to not pursue a blatant law violation.
I wanted Biden to have a 2nd term to keep Lina Khan on the job. (Harris might've replaced her as a sop to big business.)

1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

I am genuinely fascinated by the China story, just witnessing in real time a political party convince itself that it had a completely different (and insane) foreign policy to the one it had.
I yield to no one when it comes to lack of interest in this story. But if means what it is said to mean, then that would be objectively very funny.
Wooooah!
So the China spy case witness statement initially described China as the 'enemy'.
But that word was removed before submition, because it was NOT government policy at the time.
The government when this happened were the Tories.
So arguably the Tories are the reason the case collapsed!

Yet again, someone who stays up for multiple nights in a row, slipping into mania while the chatbot does nothing to disengage. The easiest safeguard to add, and it seems none of these companies have cared enough to try.
This is the biggest, toughest article I’ve done about so-called “AI psychosis.” It’s the story of a man who committed a horrific crime in his youth but served his time and against all odds found love and a new life—one that completely unraveled after he started talking to Google’s Gemini chatbot.
