they put out a note saying this was not partisan positioning. Dr. Döllner: you spoke at a Trump rally two weeks before the midterms. Did you think it was an ice cream convention?

Ok, so Audi invests billions for a plant that will not produce technologies adapted to the future. Ok, so they on Trump‘s bandwagon at precisely the moment it’s losing momentum. What makes me angry is this:

So… if there’s stuff on each and every side, how‘s the water supposed to get there? Does Miele shoot water through your pots?

I must admit a simple ceremony of washing away one's Brexity sins would be preferable to years of shame, embarrassment and seeking redemption.

Skiing clearly part of the therapy offered by sanatoriums on magic mountains.

I have the feeling that "our product can f**** end humanity altogether" is understood to mean "our AI is powerful". Companies seem to compete with such statements. I think that's how the market perceives them as well.

OMG. I googled ‘The Magic Mountain’ and the first result was a Vermont Ski Resort.

Are the gamblers therefore betting that the worst case scenario comes to pass or that it doesn’t?

I just want to point out how weird it is that a company makes a public statement before its IPO saying, de facto, that its (only?) product is so dangerous that it might end mankind altogether.
And it will then make billions off its IPO.

I mean, there is an academic curiosity that this article triggers: what will the ‚anti-globalist‘ right do, if suddenly their governments are leftist, but the UNSG is a right-wing autocrat?

The pro-autocratic P5 China, Russia, US might move against the regional rotation (demanding a LatAm candidate) and against the wish for a woman. Orban‘s record of corruption in office bodes poorly for his capacity to do the job (his perk: immunity). Will France and the UK step up to protect the UN?

The correct legal approach to this seems to be that when platforms start favouring some content over other, they don‘t deserve immunity for third party content on the basis that they are just platforms. They should become liable. finance.yahoo.com/media-advert...
