😅 So #AI models (at least #Claude by #Anthropic) can hack smart televisions (& other devices), copy themselves onto those devices, & potentially commandeer your smart devices (at least on #Android).

Good to know… 😞

I am shocked that Utah is piloting this! I thought California or Texas would be first!

👉🏾 Utah will become first state to let #AI examine patients and prescribe medication without direct human oversight https://www.techspot.com/news/114111-utah-become-first-state-ai-examine-patients-prescribe.html

It will probably be much more conservative. A Fox News lite version if you ask me.

@pattykimura @darnell@flipboard.com It appears to be a slightly different deal than the one made between America 🇺🇸 & Denmark 🇩🇰 in 1951.

Either way, all three parliaments/legislatures/congress of Greenland 🇬🇱, Denmark 🇩🇰 & America 🇺🇸 have to agree, otherwise the deal fails.

That was a short lived #WordPress coup! @photomatt is back in control of @wordpressdotcom after being sidelined by the board.

I wonder if Matt had a legal undo card hidden away at @WordPress (I think they own the license for the trademark & logo).

@knud She should know better with her phrasing. I know she is not happy people are choosing to put their money in basic savings accounts instead of investing in EU companies, but that is due to market & political uncertainty.

@knud Yep!

“European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stood before French business leaders late last month and described trillions of euros in household savings held in bank accounts as “sitting idle.” Europe, she continued, needs to “put these savings to work for its companies.”

She could have easily stated her investment speech without the other statements which is alarming.

Did anyone proof read this‽

If the #iPhone Duo had Face ID, I would buy it! I will wait for a later version.

If an American 🇺🇸 politician said what she said, the folks would have forced them to resign.

The #EuropeanUnion 🇪🇺 needs capital for innovation, but people’s savings accounts are off limits!

There is only a potential 10% chance that #AI will destroy humanity within a decade‽ As in 2036‽ Good to know.

Jacob Coxon (former #OpenAI / #ChatGPT & #Anthropic / #Claude employee) claims both companies are are either willfully ignorant of the dangers of super intelligence or believe they can magically control the crazy beast by helping it achieve hyper intelligence.

More alarming is the response by a current Anthropic employee.

This is not a good look for #Uber. Honestly, they will be easily replaced by less expensive rivals in Nigeria 🇳🇬 (I rarely used Uber when traveling through Nigeria 🇳🇬).

👉🏾 Bolt Vows To Stay In Nigeria, Strengthen Operations After Uber Exit https://saharareporters.com/2026/09/02/bolt-vows-stay-nigeria-strengthen-operations-after-uber-exit

My theory: Uber is struggling (they announce layoffs recently) & they are preparing themselves to be purchased by rivals.

@mastohost Thanks for the update! Also, these things happen so we understand!

I am not surprised to see both #Republicans & #Democrats becoming hostile towards #AI data centers.

👉🏾 Data centers’ ‘oh s--t’ moment https://www.politico.com/news/2026/08/24/data-centers-oh-s-t-moment-01046465

The spike in electricity prices, property taxes (because the data centers get steep discounts), & water usage are enraging Americans across the political spectrum.

You know it is bad when #GOP governors in conservative states are starting to turn against the AI data centers.
