    Emily? Chang??? That’s so weird because I just spoke to a Rachel with that same last name and she didn’t want to help me legally. And isn’t Emma Stone in the new Cru- ELLA? MOVIE? VILLAN- ELLE** VILLAIN-ELLE….. 317 is my exes babies mother’s birthday… It’s clear she’s been controlling my life for the past decade…. SO NO ONE KNOWS SHE’S A MANIPULATOR THAT WILL DO ANYTHING* SHE WANTS AND NEEDS TO DEFEND HERSELF.

      @F_A lol since you are the smoker, should you not know it’s not weed, it’s this thing called truth. Tell Tim Allen and Gordon Ramsay their harassment to protect their kids is coming to a closing. Everyone involved will be known. You can’t harass people and silence them or stop them from living their*** lives just because you feel it necessary. You’ve been on YouTube 1 year and have 25 subscribers? I’ve been on an abusive relationship for the past decade plus and it’s clear smokers and liars are constantly harassing me when I speak out.

    Apple is a monopoly and if they win …it will set a bad example across the industry that you can’t attack apple or Google and challenge them on malpractice that they have been getting away for years

      @vishal it’s not apple’s fault that the iphone is popular….

      Dude play store is a monopoly, no one cares about isheeps being limited, it was their choice. Are you a fortnut fanboy?

      @A. Q. Google/android devices can use 3rd party apps on their phones and devices. So can macs but iPads and iPhones cannot which means the Apple App Store is a monopoly in that apps have iPad and iPhone users have no choice to use other apps. Aka no competition between app stores so that’s why Apple is losing this case

      @vishal what does monopoly mean and can you give me stats on which area apple is a monopoly in

      No it’s not. It’s like saying Costco is a monopoly because they only sell Kirkland brand (they’re own made brand) at Costco

    Chinese owned companies should get no benefits from the app store, maybe the case could be made for fairer treatment to American companies. If the judge rules in favor of Epic it’s a win for China, and we all know China could care less about monopolies.

      If I install Fortnite on my PC Microsoft doesn’t get 40% just because I’m running Windows.

      @sparkle sparkles Microsoft? Really?!? LOL
      But I get what you’re saying.

      @sparkle sparkles but apple isn’t charging 40 percent is it. Perhaps Epic should follow rules if they are going to use some one else’s platform to distribute their game. Epic hasn’t helped Apple develop App Store nor the technology that apple gives to all developers. Meanwhile if you really want to support Epic then get the game through their store and perhaps get an android device

    Tim Apple vs. Tim Epic in Monopoly

    Hopefully Apple wins, Epic games should make their own phone if they have any problems.

Crusoe CEO Chase Lochmiller discusses the AI infrastructure company’s nearly $4 billion in fresh funding sending its valuation to almost $31 billion. He also discusses how it will fuel the company’s push to build AI infrastructure spanning data centers, cloud computing and managed AI services. He says Crusoe could eventually enter the public markets and pushes back against growing opposition to data centers, arguing the industry has a “marketing issue” and needs to better communicate its impact on water, jobs and local tax revenue. He joins Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.”

Former FTC Technologist Warns Against an AI ‘Cartel’

As frontier AI labs seek greater coordination on safety, Neil Chilson, Head of AI Policy at the Abundance Institute and former FTC Chief Technologist, warns that government-backed antitrust exemptions could create a durable “cartel” that ultimately harms competition.

As frontier AI labs seek greater coordination on safety, Neil Chilson, Head of AI Policy at the Abundance Institute and former FTC Chief Technologist, warns that government-backed antitrust exemptions could create a durable “cartel” that ultimately harms competition. He argues companies can collaborate on safety standards without suspending antitrust rules, and that existing consumer-protection and liability laws already provide tools for addressing harms caused by AI.

Anthropic Investor Franklin: AI Safety Concerns Won’t Slow Spending

Calls to “pace” development at the AI frontier are unlikely to translate into a slowdown in infrastructure spending, according to Sara Araghi, Franklin Templeton Portfolio Manager and Franklin Venture Partner. She argues that even if labs temper some model training, growing inference demand will continue to require enormous amounts of compute. Araghi also discusses why…

She argues that even if labs temper some model training, growing inference demand will continue to require enormous amounts of compute. Araghi also discusses why heightened AI safety concerns could boost demand for cybersecurity and why she doesn’t expect the debate to derail funding or anticipated AI IPOs.
