Elon Musk's $1 trillion Tesla pay plan wins shareholder approval -
That's paying Musk 9 times the total turnover of Tesla in 2024 (which was 1% higher than that in 2023). Sounds a bit over the top. It's also more than $100 for every person on earth. The combined result of the greediness of Musk and the craziness of Tesla's shareholders.

"Dispensing false information in a confident tone, rather than offering no answer when none is readily available, is a major flaw of generative AI, experts say. An audit of the top 10 generative AI model... by the media literacy non-profit NewsGuard revealed that the non-response rates of chatbots went down from 31% in August 2024 to 0% in August 2025. At the same time, the chatbots’ likelihood of repeating false information almost doubled from 18% to 35%"

I feel like this Stop Copaganda project from 2024 didn't get enough love. It certainly made me reflect on how I portray law enforcement. Particularly in Domestic Threats. Some police officers/agents are really trying to do the right thing and the system makes it hard. Some of them just do what they're told because they trust the system, without realizing they might be doing more harm than good. Some are more interested in getting status or power than worrying about morality. These st…
