A little over 40 miles east of San Salvador is one.

It works by reducing the checks and balances that stop the leaders from doing whatever-the-fuck they feel like. Current example: Republican death camps.

>AS for the US being unreliable or hostile.... That's just stupid
As a Canadian, I can assure you that we have found Herr Trump *very* unreliable and hostile.

The "new AI" is Gemini, and yes it's an LLM. If you'd watched the video, you'd know that. You'd also learn that the "reliable news source" is owned by the Daily Mail, so no, it's not a reliable source.
It's clickbait journalism backed by paid reviews; as Angela points out, this is just the way marketing/PR teams at billion-dollar valuation AI companies operate at the moment. It's a business model.
I know, 20 minute videos suck, but she is a physicist, a scientist who is working with these tools daily, and she *isn't* a paid reviewer. She does a great breakdown of the business model, the quackery and fake news of the clickbait headlines and articles driven by PR firms.

And was there something mysterious about it? There's soooo many hobbyists (and businesses) that fly drones around getting aerial footage, and it's just after Xmas and lots of kids got toy drones and don't know how to fly them. It would literally be a frickin' miracle if the odd one didn't crash somewhere.
So what?

And?
Look, hundreds of thousands of people fly drones in the U.S., from hobbyists to people providing professional services. The drone that hit the plane in L.A. is assumed to be one that was illegally videoing the fire.
There is no conspiracy, just too many people flying drones where they shouldn't, and too many people seeing planes/helicopters and screaming "UNIDENTIFIED DRONE THAT DOESN'T FLY IN A WAY I THINK IT SHOULD!!!" because they read something on social media about "teh drones r coming 4 us".
Please don't feed the fire any more oxygen.

Scaremonger a;ll you want, but it's simple: yyes, a union can, if they are morons, drive a company out of business. But that happens far less often than a non-unionized workforce gets taken advantage of by the company, and a company can easily keep a union out by simply treating peopel so well (including top-level pay) that they never want to unionize.
So don't bother whining about "unions bad", they are, on balance, a necessary cog in the machine of capitalism.

The government didn't say much because all there was to say is "there don't actually appear to be any amount of drones and it's all mass hysteria".
You'll notice that the whole thing went quietly away after no one could ever find any drones.

Why does it have to be different? I think it's just a matter of scale that makes one more significant of a problem than the other.
Also in the "money buying influence" category see:Post Media's ownership in most of Canada's newspapers. It's rampant and it's pervasive and it's all BAD.

Yes, orange man is "bad". Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that.

But there are obvious lies and completely untrue claims not backed by any form of evidence (or that run contrary to all known facts), so while not *all* things can be objectively marked as "false", some can. In the U.S., Facebook is not going to call those out. Interesting, no?

No.

He *did* apologize, and was gracious about the fine. The problem was that he didn't have much time to change into something else (he had 10 minutes to run to his hotel from the playing site). He wasn't a belligerent ass about it, he said sorry and told them he'd be happy to change his pants for the next day's games. It was the last round of the day and he was in a very fashionable matching outfit with a jacket that paired well with the pants.
Normally they would have fined him and let him play the final game of the day, but there was backstory to this involving Freestyle Chess. Similarly, the FIDE official stream shadow-banned Hikaru Nakamura's games and refused to show any of them, which was quite odd.
It was over-reaction by both sides, but Magnus did not throw a fit; he just sighed and left. And FIDE over-reacted first.

And the line always must go up!

How's that pan out if 2027 comes along and it takes 1 million Bitcoin to buy a house?
