Seemingly, this is an unspoken understanding at the top AI companies. When one Meta researcher inquired if the company's legal team had okayed using LibGen, another responded: "I didn't ask questions but this is what OpenAI does with GPT3, what Google does with PALM, and what Deepmind does with Chinchilla so we will do it to[o]," per Vanity Fair, from internal messages cited in the suit.

Stimulating either of a pair of crucial nerves that carry messages from the brain to several major organs could be an effective way to treat people with severe depression.

The NDP would implement a one per cent tax on households with a net worth between $10 million and $50 million, two per cent for those worth $50 million to $100 million and three per cent for those over $100 million.

According to their platform, that would raise about $94.5 billion in revenue over four years. The party also says they can raise $24.8 billion by closing tax loopholes and another $8 billion by reducing the federal government's use of consultants.

Among supporters of Pierre Poilievre’s party, 59 per cent either said they feel “less safe” (48%) or “somewhat less safe” (11%) in their own neighbourhoods.

That’s compared to 26.5 per cent of Liberal voters, 23.6 per cent of NDP voters, and 18 per cent of Bloc Québécois voters.

“The Official Plan directs how the city will grow for the next 25 years and we’re trying to focus growth to locations where it’s going to make the most sense for the city — in a bunch of different ways, like around transit stations — to make complete, livable communities and a financially sustainable city,” said Carol Ruddy, the city’s manager of zoning and intensification.

Ottawa’s current zoning bylaws were largely carried over from pre-amalgamation cities and towns, dividing the city’s neighbourhoods into five zones — labelled R1 to R5 — with sub-categories and distinct regulations resulting in more than 140 variations, with about 600 variations within those sub-categories.

AGI might create abundance, but it won’t dispel the incentives for companies and states to amass resources and compete with rivals. Hassabis admits he is better at forecasting technological futures than social and economic ones; he says he wishes more economists would take the possibility of near-term AGI seriously. Still, he thinks it’s inevitable we’ll need a “new political philosophy” to organize society in this world. Democracy, he says, “is not a panacea, by any means,” and might have to give way to “something better.”

But he is also confident that if we eventually build AGI capable of doing productive labor and scientific research, the world that it ushers into existence will be abundant enough to ensure a substantial increase in quality of life for everybody. “In the limited-resource world which we're in, things ultimately become zero-sum,” Hassabis says. “What I'm thinking about is a world where it's not a zero-sum game anymore, at least from a resource perspective.”

When President Donald Trump named Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his choice to lead the US Department of Health and Human Services, one group of health researchers was cautiously optimistic that their cause would finally have a champion at the highest levels of government: those focused on food and nutrition.

“I’m not even sure it’s legal! We contracted for the price on delivery,” he told the magazine. “If your price of fuel goes up or your truck breaks down, that’s not my problem! That’s what the contract’s for.”

But the tariff was not only legal, it’s his responsibility to pay it. Tariffs are paid by domestic importers, not foreign exporters, despite Trump’s frequent claims otherwise.

After promising a deal within 24 hours of taking office, then kicking off weeks of negotiations, Trump said Friday that he was about ready to give up. He hasn't set a deadline or said whether he would take any further action beyond walking away.

If either side continues to block a deal, "we're just going to say, 'You're foolish, you're fools, you're horrible people,' and we're going to just take a pass," Trump said Friday.

JWST spotted two sulfur‑bearing gases (DMS and DMDS) in the atmosphere of hycean exoplanet K2‑18 b (8.6 × Earth’s mass, 124 ly away), a combination that on Earth is made only by marine microbes—making this the strongest potential biosignature detected so far, though follow‑up observations are needed to rule out non‑biological sources.

It also noted that the undocumented had the lowest offending rates overall for felony and violent felony crime in the border state.

Vara is a fictional character invented by Peter Navarro, the White House’s Senior Counsellor for Trade and Manufacturing. Navarro was recently in the news for, among things, being called a 'moron' by Elon Musk.

In a cabinet meeting, Elon Musk appeared to dramatically lower DOGE's savings goal.
