And risk the liability when the AI bubble bursts? Microsoft trying to charge customers the actual costs of CoPilot are not going well.

Hence the hope!

Here’s hoping the mid-terms aren’t cancelled as trump declares an election can’t happen while the US is at war.

It’s the most infuriating thing. Cowardice in the name of “neutrality”. Spoon raises concerns it may be a spoon.

Tells you everything you need to know when leaders can’t keep a team together.
