FTC announces crackdown on deceptive AI claims and schemes

Sep 25th, 09:48:32

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Trade Commission said on Wednesday it was taking action against five companies that it said used artificial intelligence in deceptive and unfair ways.

"Using AI tools to trick, mislead, or defraud people is illegal," said FTC Chair Lina M. Khan said in a statement. "The FTC's enforcement actions make clear that there is no AI exemption from the laws on the books."

The woman in the yellow square is Avril Haines. To the left is Susan Rice; to the right is current deputy AG Lisa Monaco.

Rice called Haines and Monaco her “sisters.”

Haines is now Biden’s DNI. She briefed Trump yesterday on Iranian threats against him.

Most relevant

In her 1st act as Biden DNI, Haines issued a report on the heightened threat of domestic violent extremists (ie Trump supporters) in March 2021. She cited Jan 6.

Her predictions never materialized.

She worked directly for John Brennan. She attended his secret meetings in WH in 2016 to concoct the Russia collusion hoax

Is there an Iranian threat against Trump? Maybe.

Is there any reason to trust Haines or this ODNI? Absolutely not.

EPA must address fluoridated water's risk to children's IQs, US judge rules

Sep 25th, 11:30:16

By Nate Raymond

(Reuters) - A federal judge in California has ordered the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to strengthen regulations for fluoride in drinking water, saying the compound poses an unreasonable potential risk to children at levels that are currently typical nationwide.

U.S. District Judge Edward Chen in San Francisco on Tuesday sided with several advocacy groups, finding the current practice of adding fluoride to drinking water supplies to fight cavities presented unreasonable risks for children’s developing brains.

Chen said the advocacy groups had established during a non-jury trial that fluoride posed an unreasonable risk of harm sufficient to require a regulatory response by the EPA under the Toxic Substances Control Act.

"The scientific literature in the record provides a high level of certainty that a hazard is present; fluoride is associated with reduced IQ," wrote Chen, an appointee of Democratic former President Barack Obama.

But the judge stressed he was not concluding with certainty that fluoridated water endangered public health.

Putin says Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons if attacked

Sep 25th, 12:00:32

MOSCOW (Reuters) -President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russia could use nuclear weapons if it was attacked by any state and that any conventional attack on Russia that was supported by a nuclear power would be considered to be a joint attack.

Putin, opening a meeting of Russia's Security Council attended by top officials, said that proposals had been made to change Russia's nuclear doctrine and said he would like to underscore one of the proposed key changes.

"It is proposed that aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state, but with the participation or support of a nuclear state, be considered as their joint attack on the Russian Federation," Putin said.

"The conditions for Russia's transition to the use of nuclear weapons are also clearly fixed," Putin said, adding that Moscow would consider such a move if it detected the start of a massive launch of missiles, aircraft, or drones against it.

Russia, Putin said, also reserved the right to use nuclear weapons if it or Belarus were the subject of aggression, including by conventional weapons.

Shares of Trump's media company rebound from all-time low

Sep 25th, 12:14:02

Shares of former U.S. President Donald Trump's media company sprang back over 6% on Wednesday, rebounding from all-time lows after restrictions on insider selling expired last week.

Two straight days of gains in Trump Media & Technology Group, which is 57% owned by the Republican presidential nominee, have lifted it 12%, bringing its market capitalization to $2.7 billion.

In the two sessions after restrictions on insider selling lifted at the end of Thursday, shares of Trump Media, which operates the Truth Social app, tumbled to their lowest since the company's stock-market debut in March.

The stock was last at $13.64 after trading as high as $14.48 earlier on Wednesday.

Trump, whose stake in Trump Media is now worth roughly $1.6 billion, said on Sept. 13 he did not plan to sell his shares, turning the focus to other major stakeholders who could cash out.

Traders have exchanged an average of $275 million worth of Trump Media shares a day since the insider trading restrictions ended, higher than the average daily turnover of $188 million for the rest of September, according to LSEG data. No insiders have filed disclosures of share sales.
