Epstein: “the girls and i are going to see elon musk at space x tomorrow, are you around,”

It's called The Gulf of Mexico. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Ukraine's independence and territorial integrity are unconditional.

Our priority must now be strengthening Ukraine and providing robust security guarantees.

In any negotiation, Europe must have a central role.

One AI developed in the EU is closely competing with US and Chinese models.
It’s still not enough but at least it seems that AI Act and “rules” are not the real blocking point here.
Real issue is the European capital market to support 28th state tech startups (Draghi)

French AI start-up Mistral partners with government job search agency The Paris-based start-up was founded in 2023 and has been widely cited as a European rival to the US AI giant Open AI.

France’s jobseekers’ agency is partnering with generative artificial intelligence (AI) start-up Mistral AI to unveil a series of tools to help the agency’s advisers.

Le Chat de Mistral AI est enfin disponible sur l’Apple Store et le Play Store. L’alternative française aux géants américains et chinois mérite un peu de publicité. D’autant qu’elle est plutôt réputée.

golden thread on Broligarchy, decoding our times 👇

Listen, Broligarchy is not some cute synonym for oligarchy. It's genuinely different & WAY more dangerous.

I'm a sociologist who's been studying the ultra-rich globally for 17 yrs, entering their world as an offshore wealth mgr. Published 2 books abt them.

🧵Broligarchs are distinct in 3 ways:

In summary:

The broligarchs' agenda, supported by Trump, means an end to US democratic traditions & global econ/political leadership. Broligarchs want to create this power vacuum so they can step into it themselves, the better to rule the rest of us.

NEW: Hannah is my ex-step daughter. And when I was in middle of my Cambridge Analytica investigation, she had a stalker. Stalkers. For years. A whole cast of characters making her life hell. In 2021, I approached the BBC: could we try & nail the perpetrator(s)?

just imagine if all the countries targeted by Trump’s tariffs reciprocate with a 100% tariff on Tesla cars

Ah yes, Zuck going back to his made up "free speech roots" by... blocking links to a decentralized competitor.

Zuckerberg’s statement is clumsy, inaccurate and opportunistic.
It makes look Musk as transparent and coherent, in comparison.

Deepfakes are crazy good these days.

I just saw a video of Zuckerberg claiming:
- he's "getting rid of fact-checkers" because they "censor" debate
- he's "restoring free speech" on Facebook/Instagram
- that "Europe is institutionalising censorship"

Oh, wait...

mi era sfuggito il messaggio, grazie mille!

Immaginate di voler ignorare la legge di un altro Stato e farla franca facendovi aiutare dal vostro governo, di cui siete amico.

DAMMIT NPR.

I spent nine months upgrading over TEN THOUSAND desktops at a F500 client. The grand total was over SEVENTY THOUSAND applications upgraded.

Y2K "didn't live up to the hype" because the industry busted ass to duct tape everything first.

“AI-generated content can be used in dangerously aspirational ways, for example, to help #radicalize audiences by visualizing potential targets for destruction.”

This image, which has gone viral online, is AI-generated and fake.

There are far too many inconsistencies pointing to this being AI: The Israeli soldiers and their equipment, the fire, the rubble and the unlikely nature of the image.

How a pioneering Italian podcaster is leading innovation in a print-focused media industry “The idea for the podcast was to tell a story from the world every day,” says Cecilia Sala, the 26-year-old Italian journalist behind 'Stories'.

Verbalizzano molto, ma tanto tanto. È più che altro un audiolibro della sceneggiatura.

Che Elon Musk stia cercando di pilotare le elezioni in Germania è ormai un dato di fatto. Die Welt pubblica un testo spassionato di Musk in favore di AfD, considerato come l'unica salvezza economica e culturale per il Paese. La redattrice Eva Marie Kogel si dimette. E scoppia il dibattito.

Interner Zwist bei Springer: Musk spaltet die „Welt“

Die Chefin der Meinungsredaktion der Zeitung Welt, Eva Marie Kogel, wirft hin, weil das Blatt Elon Musk Raum für AfD-Wahlwerbung gibt. Das bleibt nicht unkommentiert.

The AfD/Musk-supporting terrorist who attacked the German Christmas market planned his atrocity in full view on TwitterX over the course of a year. He was reported multiple times, but TwitterX did nothing to take him down or report him to authorities.

Leggo che su X scriveva "«la Germania vuole islamizzare l’Europa. Abbiamo bisogno dell’Afd per proteggere la polizia da se stessa»"
E poi penso a quello che ha scritto il Chetaminico proprietario di X ieri, prima dell'attentato: "Solo l'AfD può salvare la Germania"

www.lastampa.it/esteri/2024/...

La conferma ce l'avevamo già da tempo ormai, ma credo sia la prima volta di una netta ammissione. Gli hashtag non funzionano più su X, anzi. Nello smantellamento di quello che era prima, si è scelto di eliminare quello che era diventato nel tempo un carattere distintivo

A chart shows the view count trajectory of Elon Musk's and Donald Trump's tweets, titled "Views of each X post in 26 days around the election". Elon Musk has many above 100 million, while Trump's are all less than 100 million.

Elon Musk has a political megaphone unmatched in modern society. He got a total of 133 billion views since July, and ~1/3 of his posts are about politics.

His typical tweet gets more than 2.4 million views in just one hour, according to our novel view-count time-series dataset.

Assad's final hours in Syria: Deception, despair and flight Bashar al-Assad confided in almost no one about his plans to flee Syria as his reign collapsed. Instead, aides, officials and even relatives were deceived or kept in the dark, more than a dozen people with knowledge of the events told Reuters.

Bashar Assad è fuggito in Russia fingendo, dopo una giornata di lavoro alla Difesa, che stava tornando a casa a Damasco.
Non ha avvisato nemmeno familiari stretti (i fratelli). È scappato ingannando a tradendo anche i suoi
