BREAKING:
Video of the moment the failed car bomb exploded at the main square in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
A car is on fire after a small explosion. The police believe it’s a deliberate attack.
It’s the same location where 5 people were stabbed a few days ago.
@xAI has acquired @X in an all-stock transaction. The combination values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion ($45B less $12B debt).
Since its founding two years ago, xAI has rapidly become one of the leading AI labs in the world, building models and data centers at unprecedented speed and scale.
X is the digital town square where more than 600M active users go to find the real-time source of ground truth and, in the last two years, has been transformed into one of the most efficient companies in the world, positioning it to deliver scalable future growth.
xAI and X’s futures are intertwined. Today, we officially take the step to combine the data, models, compute, distribution and talent. This combination will unlock immense potential by blending xAI’s advanced AI capability and expertise with X’s massive reach. The combined company will deliver smarter, more meaningful experiences to billions of people while staying true to our core mission of seeking truth and advancing knowledge. This will allow us to build a platform that doesn’t just reflect the world but actively accelerates human progress.
I would like to recognize the hardcore dedication of everyone at xAI and X that has brought us to this point. This is just the beginning.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support.
You have made your fortune from government subsidies and mega-contracts and now buying the next president you monumental fraud. You are an unelected oligarch gofer for your masters who is destroying so-called 'democracy' while claiming to 'save' it and all those who demand 'freedom' kiss your arse and thank you for the privilege. What a grotesque sight it all is. Right, Alex?
This is a blatant takeover by a handful of AI multi-billionaires and on the gravestone of 'freedom' will be written:
'Here lies FREEDOM which died from being told what it wanted to be true, but never was.'
The art of securing the money to fund the AI takeover, you mean. Softbank investments operate in the fields of robotics, AI, software, logistics, transportation, biotechnology, robotic process automation, e-commerce and information technology.
@SM8697164673129@davidicke It makes total sense. Even David talks at length about how they have to gain our permission by telling us what they’re doing to us. Why do you think Icke wastes his time on X fecklessly calling out the obvious re: Musk, Jones, Rogan, Brand, Carlsen, etc.
The world"s oldest known spear, the Clacton Spear Point, is 400,000 years old and was probably made by neanderthals in Essex, England. It was discovered in Clacton-on-Sea in 1911. It is oldest known worked wooden implement.
It is made of yew wood, shaped into a point, and when found was 387mm long, 39mm diameter and straight, but drying out during the first decades of storage shrank it to 367 by 37mm, and warped it slightly into a curve. Treatment by wax impregnation in 1952 apparently stabilized it. At some time before this, the last 32mm of the tip had broken off and had been re-attached by conservators. This again came off in 2013 and was re-attached. It is on display at the Natural History Museum, London where its age is stated as 420,000 years. Tests to reproduce it suggested that it had been formed by scraping with a curved flint tool of the type found on the same site, known as Clactonian notch.
The discoverer was Samuel Hazzledine Warren, an amateur pre-historian, who had been looking for simple stone tools in a known Palaeolithic sediment. He at first thought it to be an antler, but presented it to the Geological Society of London as a spear tip. This identification was generally accepted for some time. However, as it was not a whole spear and the great age meant that it was well before modern humans, many academics doubted that the amount of planning required (to manufacture a spear and use it for hunting) was within the cognitive capabilities of early hominids and argued it was a simpler tool such as a digging stick. However, the discovery of several more complete spears about 300,000 years old, Schöningen Spears in 1995 in Germany, demonstrated this capability, and the Clacton Spear is today generally regarded as a spear point.
