Trump ~ “met with leaders from the Jeff Bezos-owned aerospace company Blue Origin following his speech in Austin, Texas… on the same day The Washington Post would not be endorsing a presidential candidate in the 2024 election. The outlet reported Friday that Bezos, the paper’s billionaire owner, himself made the decision to yank the endorsement of Kamala Harris…”

Not that it means anything, right?

Unless (of course) Democracy Dies when billionaires need to boost their giant corporations 🤷♀️

Jared Kushner, real estate developer, wants Israel to “bulldoze something in the Negev (desert in southern Israel), move the civilians of Gaza over there and then “finish the job.”

Gaza’s waterfront property could be very valuable … if people would focus on building up livelihoods,” he said, adding #Israel should “do its best” to “move the people out and then clean it up.”

And that McKinsey article where the Mozilla Foundation’s president says* that “trustworthy AI” can “pay off in company profit and customer value” was from Dec 2022.

*as summarized by the article’s author
(I’m still digging for more specifics btw)

@noondlyt
I started tracing the company structure and funding.

Oh my-

“The Mozilla Foundation’s president explains that creating trustworthy AI products not only is ethically urgent but can also pay off in company profit and customer value.”
