Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Section 230 is perhaps the greatest Big Government crony gift to Big Business in human history. Big Tech can do…whatever it wants. And can’t be sued by anyone for anything.
Those of us who have long sought its end were last week heartened a bit by this….
From what has thus far been presented to me? I am not a fan of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Not because I am a Luddite. Not because I am anti-technology (though I am swiftly getting there).
But because I am pro-human. And everything about AI screams anti-human.
There is a particular kind of intellectual dishonesty that does not know it is dishonest. It wraps itself in the language of compassion, hides its power hunger behind slogans of liberation, and mistakes its own cultural preferences for universal moral law. American progressivism, in its current form as embodied by the Democrat Party, has become a nearly perfect specimen of this condition.
I’m pleased to report that, as far as we know, I’m not dead. I make this statement because a lot of messages have been arriving in my inbox asking questions like:
“Why hasn’t Sean been writing lately?” And, “Where is the daily column?” And, “Is Sean dead? Did he get hit by a Mack truck? Where the [bleepity bleep] is he!!!?”
Bloomberg’s Bailey Lipschultz and David Bauer, head of equity capital markets Americas at JPMorgan, discuss SpaceX’s success on the company’s second day of trading after a record IPO Friday. Bauer said he sees a real ‘investment thesis’ driving SpaceX as the company contributes to reindustrializing America with ‘new ecosystems’ and the emergence of space as an industry.
Don Surber takes us through another week of the summer doldrums of news cycles. He’ll make you laugh, think and understand the media better than the institution knows itself. Enjoy!
Reports of treasonous government officials make the news more often than one would expect, but there’s an even bigger kind of treason out there, and this one takes place through normal-looking business transactions:
The Potomac River’s designation as America’s most endangered river isn’t really a story about one river. It’s a warning about an entire civilization rushing headlong into a technological revolution without fully understanding the consequences. More than 300 data centers already operate within the Potomac watershed, with hundreds more proposed to support the explosive growth of artificial intelligence and cloud computing. The same digital infrastructure powering our modern lives is quietly consuming vast amounts of electricity and billions of gallons of water. The cloud was never weightless. It was always connected to power plants, cooling towers, transmission lines, and rivers. The question isn’t whether technology will continue advancing. The question is whether we’ll recognize the second and third-order consequences before they become tomorrow’s crisis.
Former White House ‘AI czar’ David Sacks discusses AI regulation, competition with China and the risks of advanced AI-powered ‘cyber weapons’ on ‘Kudlow.’
Economist Steve Moore discusses the latest May jobs report, U.S. economic strength and the impact of President Donald Trump’s pro-business policies on ‘Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street.’
AARP CEO Myechia Minter-Jordan explains how the aging population is redefining market dynamics, the economy and more on ‘The Claman Countdown.’
I remember when social media used to be a bunch of friends sharing stuff. And that was all.
Back then, social media was mostly a youngish person activity. Older folks thought we whippersnappers with our newfangled phones were ridiculous for engaging in something that “wasn’t even real.” They told us Facebook wasn’t “true socialization.” They told us to “get a life.”
We just laughed and went back to posting pictures of our food.
I kid. I’m a kidder.
Lots of DC – and a lot of the rest of us – continue to pretend that Wall Street is the only US economic indicator that matters.
The power went off. We were trapped in a little lake cabin about the size of an area rug when it happened.
As I’m sure most of you have noticed? Our federal government is a titanic, monstrous mess.
In all of human history, there has almost certainly never been an entity this dysfunctional and disorganized.
And the fact we have allowed something this messed up – to get this huge? May be the most grievous error in human history.
Fox News’ Steve Doocy visits Huntsville, Alabama, touring its vibrant downtown and spotlighting the city’s pivotal role in NASA and America’s journey to space on ‘Fox & Friends.’
How I ended up walking into a sliding glass door in a supermarket is pretty simple. I got a text from my wife. I looked at my phone to read the message and, WHAM! Goodbye nasal cartilage.
Fox News correspondent Madeleine Rivera reports on Netflix countering a Texas lawsuit that accuses it of privacy violations and using addictive design to target children on ‘Fox Report.’
He has the oil, the military and the corporate wizards on his side
Landing in Beijing with his secretary of state, his treasury secretary and the No. 1 executives of the top 30 corporations in America, President Trump received the royal treatment.
My mind processes things uniquely. As all our minds do.
Mine does so bizarrely. Which, thankfully, very few of our minds do.
And so it was when I saw the following in DC tech publication Broadband Breakfast….
