“1000 targets in 24 hours”

Seems fair to wonder if Anthropic’s A.I. had something to do with an 🇺🇸 strike killing those schoolgirls

California colleges spend millions on faulty AI chatbots Community colleges are spending millions on AI chatbots that students say often give inaccurate answers. Many might see upgrades soon.

“In testing by CalMatters, they [the chatbots] often answered general questions correctly but struggled with more specific ones. East Los Angeles College’s bot couldn’t even correctly name its own president.”

KSA, UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait are about to cancel their multi-trillion dollar investment contracts with America.

That is over a $5 trillion dollar loss to America.

It's a disastrous hit that could destroy our economy.
In other words, Trump may have just seriously f-cked our country.
