New from Lily Sánchez (@lefty_md) - viruses don't care about human concepts like "nations," and as Ebola spreads in central Africa, the "America First" mythology poses a threat to the whole world. 🔗
What the AI industry became since OpenAI launched in 2023 is financially, environmentally, infrastructurally, and socially unsustainable.

NINE LA city incumbents ran for reelection. Only two are failing to get 50% in their races:
• Karen Bass: 35%
• Hydee Feldstein Soto: 19%
Everyone else has an outright majority. So don’t let Karen Bass make you think her 35% is impressive. Its not. It’s weak.
Kenneth Mejia holds the record for most votes in an LA City election (2022).
He would break his own record this year if he was in the ballot in November. But he wrapped up the election in June.
Mejia received 100,000 more votes than Karen Bass so far. Remember that if Bass gets reelected and continues to fight Mejia.
The majority of the people are on Kenneth’s side, Karen. Not yours.
