The most obvious, lowest risk way to use AI (and to get a sense of how good it is) is to ask it for second opinions in your area of expertise.

This works across most fields. And I’d go further: increasingly, not using AI as a second opinion is going to lead to worse outcomes.

If Trump cuts prescription drug prices by 30-80%, I will give him all the credit in the world. And I won't care if anyone on the left cries about it. But he has to actually do it! Don't give him credit until it's done! He loves to make promises for marketing and then not do them.

Dow soars 1,000 points after Trump team and China dramatically lower tariffs
Donald Trump Scores Four Diplomatic Victories a ceasefire between nuclear-armed neighbors India and Pakistan; the prospect of talks between Kyiv and Moscow over the war in Ukraine, and the announcement of a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs between China and the U.S. ........... Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades military wing spokesperson Abu Obeida said that Edan Alexander will be freed on Monday from the Gaza Strip........... Trump was thanked in a statement by Alexander's family which said "on Mother's Day, we received the greatest gift imaginable—news that our beautiful son Edan is returning home after 583 days in captivity in Gaza." ........

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said both sides agreed to pause their reciprocal tariffs for 90 days, bringing their rates down by 115 percentage points.

........ The deal would see tariffs imposed on Chinese goods fall to 30 percent, and those imposed on U.S. goods by Beijing to 10 percent, with further negotiations underway. ........
He said it was striking how quickly it happened—suggesting both sides were more economically boxed in than they let on.
......... Trump was the first to announce a truce between Pakistan and India, following U.S.-talks. Although hours after the agreement was announced, India accused Pakistan of "repeated violations," as of Monday, the ceasefire appeared to holding. .......... Trump praised the leaders of both countries for agreeing to halt the aggression, posting on Truth Social he would "substantially" increase trade with them. ......... He also said he would work with both sides to see if "a solution can be arrived at concerning Kashmir." ......... Putin's proposal followed a demand by Kyiv's allies on Saturday that Russia agree to an unconditional 30-day ceasefire or face "massive" new sanctions. This position was endorsed on Sunday by Trump's Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg. .......... This would make sense if Moscow had some hint that the White House is going to be more specific about what walking away from talks means as it has threatened ........ The diplomatic developments give Trump a boost as he starts his trip to the Middle East on Monday in his first major foreign trip of his second presidency during which he is scheduled to visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE.

A lot of modern marketing is the equivalent of buying your own brands name on SEO and thinking it's a better ROI than anything else you do.

Donald Trump's plan to accept a $400 million jet from a foreign government is corrupt and unconstitutional.

He’s making deals for himself while making life less affordable for you. https://t.co/SisQAl6Xny

AI coding is used to generate a lot of bulk code that is often blindly accepted, but it seems there is at least as much opportunity for AI to help make codebases more beautiful.

Keeping a codebase in great shape or cleaning up a hairball takes a lot of effort beyond raw…

तपस्वी योद्धा रामजी ने तीन दिन तक समुद्र से विनयपूर्वक मार्ग माँगा जिसे उस जड़बुद्धि ने स्वीकार नहीं किया। विनय व सौम्यता के इस तिरस्कार पर कुपित रामभद्र नें कहा कि “दुर्बुद्धि जनों से, भय के बिना प्रेम संभव नहीं है।”

A judge used Trump’s own words to expose his real agenda
Trump ready to deploy military force to control Greenland

Mexico’s president issues scathing response to Trump offer “In one of the calls, he said to me, ‘How can we help you fight drug trafficking? I propose that the U.S. Army come in to help you,’” Sheinbaum recounted. “And you know what I told him? No, President Trump. Our territory is sacrosanct. Sovereignty is sacrosanct. Sovereignty is not for sale. Sovereignty is loved and defended.” ...... “We will never accept the presence of the United States military on our soil.” ........... Trump and Sheinbaum have worked together to maintain what they called “the most secure southwest border in history,” though they acknowledged that cartels and terrorist-designated organizations still pose major threats to both countries. ......... Trump has long floated the idea of unilateral U.S. military action if Mexico fails to stop the cartels. ............. During one of those conversations, Sheinbaum said

she pushed for U.S. support to stop the flow of American weapons into Mexico, a major driver of cartel violence.

“We can collaborate, we can work together,” she said. “But you can do it in your territory, and we’ll do it in ours.” ............. U.S. airborne surveillance of cartel operations in Mexico has also reportedly increased in recent months.

India Bows to Trump, Accepts All U.S. Trade Conditions and Tariffs India has sided with the United States (US) President Donald Trump on the trade war with Xi Jinping of China. Reports indicate that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is ready to accept all conditions of the US in a trade deal........ Modi’s move is despite persuasion by Yu Jing, spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in India, for Modi to join forces with the Asian country. ....... Jing said India and China should stand together against US tariff actions as the two largest developing nations. ......... “China-India economic and trade relationship is based on complementarity and mutual benefit. Facing the U.S. abuse of tariffs, which deprives countries, especially Global South countries, of their right to development, the two largest developing countries should stand together to overcome the difficulties,” she said.

How China Is Dodging US Tariffs Some Chinese exporters are routing goods through third countries to skirt the steep tariffs the United States has imposed on the world's second-largest economy. ....... China exports roughly five times as much to the U.S. as the other way around, and finding new markets takes time. The U.S.'s top trade partner, China, has vowed to "fight till the end" and imposed a reciprocal 125 percent tariff on most U.S. imports, among other countermeasures. ......... "The U.S. has imposed tariffs on Chinese products? Transit through Malaysia to 'transform' into Southeast Asian goods!" the Financial Times quoted one such ad as saying, posted by an account named "Ruby—Third Country Transshipment."........... Many Chinese firms will likely struggle to redirect goods originally made for U.S. markets. The government has reportedly been encouraging merchants to turn to local consumers instead. ......... Analysts have warned of price increases and shortages in the U.S. if China and the U.S. fail to reach a deal soon.
