David and Larry Ellison Sued by Paramount Investor Over Alleged Trump Side Deal
The lawsuit claims that the Ellisons illegally promised to overhaul CNN as the administration looks to reshape media.
The complaint follows a coalition of state attorneys general,
the Writers Guild of America
and Paramount subscribers filing lawsuits against the studio.
A fourth lawsuit has been filed looking to block Paramount‘s bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery

regardless of whether you think it is realistic, which of the following statements do you agree with more?
1: "if we create AGI, humans should have the ultimate control over everything it does."
2: "an AGI should learn to act as an autonomous member of society, not as a slave."

Abstract: We report a combined rheology and x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) study of the structural and mechanical relaxation of a ductile, nanocolloidal glass following the cessation of shear flow. After the glass is sheared to 300% strain at various shear rates and then held at fixed strain, the stress undergoes a protracted, quasi-logarithmic decay with hold time that depends weakly on the initial strain rate. Recovery rheology measurements reveal that this stress relaxation is accompanied by a logarithmic decrease in the elastic component of the recoverable strain; hence, the rates of decrease of the stress and recoverable strain are proportional. XPCS measurements during the stress relaxation reveal dynamics dominated by a convection-like backflow that is divided into two dynamically distinct regions indicative of banded motion. In one region, the flow can be modeled by an affine strain, while in the other region the glass moves as a plug while undergoing slow, glassy relaxation. The rates of these dynamics approximately track the rate of loss of recoverable strain, indicating this motion is the predominant microscopic mechanism driving the conversion of recoverable to unrecoverable strain during stress relaxation. In contrast, XPCS measurements during strain recovery reveal purely affine flow with no evidence of heterogeneity and with strain rates that agree quantitatively with the rheometry measurements. Together, these results provide a unified microscopic picture connecting the evolving internal dynamics of a ductile glass to its macroscopic mechanical relaxation following flow cessation.
