Another Canary: The Las Vegas Economy Is Tanking Just Like It Did In 2008 And 2009
If you want to get a really good indication of where the U.S. economy is heading, just look at what is happening in Las Vegas. During good times, hotel occupancy rates are very high and lots of money is thrown around in the casinos. But when times are getting tough, less people head to Las Vegas and those that do go tend to be tighter with their money. We saw a perfect example of this during the Great Recession. Once the global financial crisis hit, gambling revenues in Las Vegas plunged. The following comes from an ABC News article that was published in 2009…
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Pitches Eyeball-Scanning World ID to Bankers
Shut out by privacy regulators skeptical of his iris-scanning ID scheme, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is taking a different route. He’s now turning to the financial sector to pitch World ID, a digital identity platform built on the premise that artificial intelligence has made it impossible to tell humans from machines. It’s a solution aimed at solving a problem AI itself has created.
Is The Federal Reserve Purposely Trying To Destroy The U.S. Economy?
Oops, they did it again. Even though the housing market has been in a depressed state for an extended period of time and even though economic conditions are slowing down all over the country, the Federal Reserve has once again refused to lower interest rates. What in the world are they thinking? I certainly share President Trump’s frustration with the Fed. Central banks all over the world have been cutting rates, but our central bank just won’t budge. Have Fed officials gone completely insane, or are they purposely trying to destroy the U.S. economy?
Big Tech proposes European Commission adjust water efficiency rules to allow data centres located where water is scarce to be viable
A collaboration of Big Tech and data centre operators has submitted a paper to the European Commission detailing the issues it has with the Commission’s policies on the restriction of water and energy requirements for data centres. Data centres require enormous amounts of energy and water to operate. So Big Tech and data centre operators are proposing that the Commission adjust their policies to include a statistical trick that will allow data centres to operate in locations where water is scarce.
Two medical researchers say tick-borne meat allergy should be allowed to spread because eating meat is “morally impermissible”
Last month, a paper by two American researchers from the Western Michigan University School of Medicine was published in the journal Bioethics. In their paper, they used the warped argument that “eating meat is morally impermissible” and so “efforts to prevent the spread of tick-borne AGS are also morally impermissible.”
AI in Wyoming may soon use more electricity than state’s human residents
On Monday, Mayor Patrick Collins of Cheyenne, Wyoming, announced plans for an AI data center that would consume more electricity than all homes in the state combined, according to The Associated Press. The facility, a joint venture between energy infrastructure company Tallgrass and AI data center developer Crusoe, would start at 1.8 gigawatts and scale up to 10 gigawatts of power use.
UK Government Spends £850m to Cover Up Stupid Afghan Mistake
In September 2021, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) accidentally leaked a spreadsheet. The file contained personal information – including names, locations and contact details – of 100 British officials including special forces and MI6 personnel, as well as thousands of Afghan nationals. The Afghan names were applicants for relocation under the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) having assisted the British Forces. The leak meant Taliban-linked accounts were then able to access the information and were reportedly using the data to trace survivors within hours, posing critical safety risks to UK intelligence staff and the Afghans who helped them. The UK government called it an isolated mistake. It wasn’t.
Americans Spend Nearly Half Of Their Days Online, And Young People Are More Suicidal Than Ever
Our society is more addicted to the Internet than ever. So how has that affected us? Are we happier than we once were, or are we less happy? Are we more mentally healthy than we once were, or are we less mentally healthy? I don’t have to give you the answers to those questions, because you already know. Our society has gone completely nuts, and our suicide rate has soared. In particular, we are seeing historically high levels of suicide and depression among our young people. We have a major national crisis on our hands, but hardly anyone is talking about it.
It’s A Trap: We Are Escalating A War Against The One Nation On Earth That Could Completely Destroy Us
Just six months ago, there was so much optimism that we were going to have peace with Russia. It was never going to be easy, but at least President Trump was willing to talk to the Russians to see if an agreement would be possible. Unfortunately, Trump is now telling us that he is “not so interested in talking anymore”, and instead he is making threats. As I have warned repeatedly, threatening the Russians will backfire severely. Someone that is close to Trump needs to explain to him that this approach is only going to make things worse.
