Donald Trump launched a new campaign ad this week purporting to show that the United States is doing worse under President Biden than it did during his time in the White House, but as Forbes points out, the two most prominent photos in the ad are from Trump’s own presidency. One of the photos showing a burning cop car was taken in Chicago on May 30, 2020. Another image shows migrants wading through knee-deep water with the caption, “Central American migrants cross the Suchiate River from Mexico to Guatemala, near Tecun Uman, Guatemala, Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2020″ — meaning that the people weren’t… Read More “Trump caught using photos from his own time as president to argue life is worse under Biden”

Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX) announced Tuesday that he would be running against Ted Cruz, who currently holds a U.S. Senate seat for Texas, though to former Republican Tim Miller, even that is questionable. “His background is so unique,” Miller said, noting he’s excited about the congressman’s candidacy. “He’s an NFL player. He actually didn’t get drafted and then decided to try to get into the NFL even though he also got into law school. I mean, this is a pretty talented guy. So, putting the merits aside, the type of person you would want in the Senate.” He rattled off many of Allred’s good quali… Read More “Ex-Republican mocks ‘sometimes senator’ Ted Cruz as he faces a ‘talented’ new challenger”

The demand that interests me is the one looking towards the future, on role of artificial intelligence in writing… Read More “Why the AI demand from the Writers Guild strikes is the most important talking point”

He shared his views in a comment for the BBC. Quote: “Actually, I left so that I could talk about the dangers of AI without considering how this impacts Google,” Geoffrey posted on Twitter.
