Could be. OP’s article mentions Uber, but also mentions speculation that it may have been Amazon. Either way, I’m torn between laughing at corporate stupidity and crying over the enormous waste of resources consumed by the AI usage.

Recently, Uber’s chief exec claimed there was no link between AI ‘tokenmaxxing’ and shipping useful products. It’s a phenomenon perhaps most keenly reported at Amazon (which some X users have speculated may be the mystery company in question), where employees are said to have been caught inflating AI token consumption to meet internal targets. In fact, a Financial Times report on Thursday indicates Amazon has scrapped its internal AI usage leaderboard to stop employees carrying out needless tasks in order to climb the league table.

Between November 2025 and March of this year, Rush asked for − and received − “a significant quantity of foreign currency and tens of millions of dollars in gold bars for work-related expenses,” the affidavit in his case says.

A review of the government storage space where Rush was supposed to be storing the bars and money showed that most of it was missing, the affidavit says.

“Hey boss, I need 40 or 50 million worth of gold bars for… you know, that thing you need me to do.” I wonder who he was supposed to have bribed with all that gold.

The Youtube that secretly used AI to modify user’s videos without permission or notification ? That Youtube?

That’s Cadet Bonespurs. Don’t suggest Trump ever served or held any rank.

This wasn’t an assassination attempt. No political targets were anywhere near by, let alone Trump. This was a mentally ill man who committed suicide-by-cop.

I think it would take a bit of getting used to

As opposed to taking a bit of getting used to twice per year at the beginning and end of DST?

What name(s) are your books under? I’d like to make sure I don’t accidentally buy one.

That sounds very nice. I’m honestly jealous. However, there were 408 mass shootings in the USA last year. That’s more than 110 people shot per day. While I in no way support the policies of the police in the USA, I do have to admit that given the likelihood that the residents of any particular home might be armed, I personally would not want to be a lightly armed and unarmored cop knocking on a door here. I mean, people here have literally been shot just for knocking or ringing a doorbell.

While all cops are indeed bastards, many of the other people in this country aren’t any better. The left end of the bell curve in this country is very heavily armed and doing their part to help police turn the nation into the war zone they think it already is. Until common sense gun laws are passed and the dumbest and most violent among us are disarmed, it’s not going to change for the better.

Who’s going to push the button ?

I suspect there will be a line.

This is the USA. Locking someone up may well be a cruel punishment, but it is by no means unusual.

Add him to the list… 61 pages and counting.

From the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli. Ratified by the Senate which had just recently approved the Bill of Rights, and signed by President John Adams.

“As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion, as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religious or tranquility of Musselmen, and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.”

Musk’s claims include breach of charitable trust and unjust enrichment.

Seriously. A billionaire is accusing another billionaire of unjust enrichment ? Every billionaire ever is by definition guilty of unjust enrichment. There’s simply no other way to become a billionaire.

The company, which is aiming to build the world’s first fusion power plant, does not generate any revenue but has been valued in the private market at $5.4 billion.

This is honestly insane. A company that produces nothing and is almost certainly a scam is valued at $5.4 billion? Valued by whom?

Per the article, this won’t help young people’s muscles. Young muscle tissue is not deficient in palmitate and oleate so supplementing them wouldn’t help.

I think it pretty much did, though perhaps the article has been updated since you posted.

Eatherly, 28, turned his body “in a bladed stance” toward Fox and reached for a firearm in his jacket pocket, after which a “physical altercation” happened, the warrant said. Eatherly fired his weapon and Fox was struck multiple times, according to the document.

The physical altercation occurred after Eatherly settled into a fighting stance and grabbed the gun in his pocket. It seems like that was be the provocation for the physical fight. Even with it being Tennessee, and Fox being black, it seems unlikely that a jury will find that Fox provoked the altercation verbally and justified Eatherly using lethal force.

I want Smarter Glasses. I’m thinking something like the smart glasses, but it only uses it’s camera to locate and highlight other camera lenses. It then activates an infrared laser that the wearer can focus on the other lens to discreetly blind it.
