I'm truly astonished that replacing billionaires with welfare bums isn't worrying Newsom, given his political aspirations and potential for graft at the national level.
The UK's example of trading 200k/emigrant for -14k/immigrant is a fascinating primer on socialist economics that should've been a cautionary tale rather than blueprint.

All the crybabies trying to justify these billionaires and their empires can't handle the fact that every single one will be replaced by hundreds or even thousands of welfare recipients. Californians will replace the dollars contributed by billionaires with empty hands and achieve Newsom's socialist dream.
From the ashes of self-inflicted wounds will emerge a California made stronger (by manufactured hardships), more benevolent (toward lawbreakers and thieves and political parasites), and greater (in hungry numbers) than ever before.
Mamdani will look on in astonishment and envy as paradise slowly unfolds (aka collapses) following Newsom's aggressive tax base erosion. It's a blueprint to every socialist society looking to enter full communist mode without regarding historical precedent. And it will be glorious. As a Brookfield investor and resident of a red state, I salute the bravery of Gavin & Pelosi's pals in offering their own flesh to the mob and stand ready to scoop up whatever remains at firesale prices in a few years.

Submission + - Sony is Removing Many Popular Features From Its Free OTA TV Options (cordcuttersnews.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Sony has notified owners of its recent BRAVIA television models that significant changes to the built-in TV Guide for its OTA TV antenna users and related menu features will take effect starting in late May 2026. The update affects a range of premium sets released between 2023 and 2025, marking another instance of feature adjustments for older smart TV hardware as manufacturers shift focus toward newer product lines. The changes primarily target the program guide functionality for over-the-air antenna TV channels received via the ATSC tuner. After the cutoff date, program information may fail to display on certain channels, limiting the guide’s usefulness for planning viewing schedules. Users will often see listings only for channels they have recently watched, rather than a comprehensive overview of available broadcasts. Additionally, channel logos that previously appeared in the guide will disappear, and any thumbnail images accompanying program descriptions will no longer load or show.
Further modifications will appear in the television’s menu system. For users relying on connected set-top boxes, the dedicated Set Top Box menu option will be removed entirely. In its place, a simpler Control menu will surface, streamlining access but eliminating some specialized navigation previously available. Program thumbnails, which provided visual previews in various menu sections, will also cease to appear across affected interfaces. These adjustments stem from Sony’s ongoing efforts to manage backend services and data feeds that support enhanced guide features on its Google TV-powered BRAVIA lineup. As television ecosystems evolve rapidly with advancements in processing power, artificial intelligence integration, and cloud-based content delivery, companies periodically retire select capabilities on prior-generation hardware to optimize resources. The 2023 through 2025 models, while still offering excellent picture quality through advanced OLED and LCD panels with features like XR processing, now fall into the category of devices receiving scaled-back support.

Submission + - AI chatbots misdiagnose in over 80% of early medical cases (archive.is)
fjo3 writes: Consumer AI chatbots falter when used to make medical diagnoses, particularly when faced with incomplete information, according to new research highlighting the risks of relying on them as digital doctors.
The study finds that leading large language models struggle to suggest a range of possible diagnoses when patient data is limited, frequently narrowing too quickly to a single answer.
The results point to a broader limitation in AI: while chatbots can identify likely conditions once a case is fully specified, they are less reliable at the earlier, more uncertain stages of clinical reasoning.

If corporations are above the law then why are they forced to follow these authoritarian surveillance laws? It would be easy to flout such anti-user laws that make extra demands, cost $ to implement and monitor, and drive users away (a la Discord), if corporations were actually above the law as you say.

Also, he has no plans to own or drive any of these vehicles. In between racking up $772,000 in catering costs and traveling to all his various investments everywhere except Canada there's just no time for driving.
