Breaking News: Files Show Powerful Hollywood Public Relations Executive Peggy Siegal Offered to Buy Jeffrey Epstein an African Baby On Her Trip to Kenya. She also asked a rabbi in Greece to help her find a young virgin for the convicted pedophile, to thank him for helping her screw over her own brother regarding their parents' estate. And there's more.

Iranian school was on U.S. target list, may have been mistaken as military site โ€” The Washington Post The strike on an Iranian elementary school killed at least 175, many of them children, raising questions as to whether the militaryโ€™s use of AI-enabled targeting was a factor.

"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

Almost 10,000 authors have come together to publish an empty book protesting the theft of books by tech companies to train AI models.

Titled Donโ€™t Steal This Book, it is empty of text except the names of the authors involved.. ๐Ÿงต

A knock on the window and a glimpse of Americaโ€™s surveillance future โ€œThis is taking a big and very scary step toward a kind of totalitarian checkpoint society,โ€ a privacy advocate warns in a special France 24โ€“Mother Jones report.
