  1. AI expert warns Elon Musk-signed letter doesn't go far enough, says 'literally everyone on Earth will die' Eliezer Yudkowsky writes that advanced AI will kill all sentient life on Earth and must be shut down An artificial intelligence expert with more than two decades of experience studying AI safety said an open letter calling for a six-month moratorium on developing powerful AI systems does not go far enough. "Many researchers steeped in these issues, including myself, expect that the most likely result of building a superhumanly smart AI, under anything remotely like the current circumstances, is that literally everyone on Earth will die," he asserts. "Not as in 'maybe possibly some remote chance,' but as in 'that is the obvious thing that would happen.'" https://www.foxnews.com/tech/ai-expert-warns-elon-musk-signed-letter-doesnt-enough-literally-everyone-earth-will-die

  15. Ukraine war: Russia's Wagner boss suggests 'betrayal' in Bakhmut battle The head of Russia's Wagner private army has said it is not getting the ammunition it needs from Moscow, as it seeks to gain control of Bakhmut. Russian troops - from Wagner and regular Russian forces - are trying to seize the eastern city from Ukraine. But Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin has complained of a lack of ammunition, saying it could be "ordinary bureaucracy or a betrayal". Relations between Wagner and Moscow seem increasingly tense. The Wagner group has tens of thousands of troops in Ukraine - some recruited directly from Russian prisons - and has become a key part of Moscow's invasion. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64859780

  18. Rising US deficit a worry, but Warren Buffett puts stock in 'American tailwind' The newsletter points out the stellar contribution Berkshire Hathaway has made to the US treasury. It states that Berkshire’s contribution via the corporate income tax was $32 billion during the decade, "almost exactly a tenth of 1 percent of all money that the Treasury collected." The letter lets us in on the outsized contribution that the company is making to the US treasury via its tax payments. The letter marks out, "Had there been roughly 1,000 taxpayers in the US matching Berkshire’s payments, no other businesses nor any of the country’s 131 million households would have needed to pay any taxes to the federal government. Not a dime. https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/markets/rising-us-deficit-a-worry-but-buffett-puts-his-stock-in-american-tailwind-10165461.html but but tax loopholes and offshore accounts However, it is a crime to use an offshore account to avoid paying taxes or to attempt to shield funds from the U.S. government.

L. 108–76 (text) (PDF)) was legislation passed unanimously by the United States Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush on January 15, 2002. It was extended and amended in 2003, extended in 2005, and made permanent in 2007. Act allows the U.S. Secretary of Education to grant waivers or relief to recipients of student financial aid programs under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, in connection with a war or other military operation or national emergency.[1] It allows waiving of statutory or regulatory requirements related to federal student loans for three categories of individuals: active-duty military or National Guard officials, those who reside or are employed in a declared disaster area, or those who have suffered direct economic hardship as a result of wars, military operations, or national emergencies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher_Education_Relief_Opportunities_For_Students_Act#:~:text=The Higher Education Relief Opportunities,and made permanent in 2007.
