Ted nails it here. Congress is incapable of regulating anything...and certainly incapable of regulating AI.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) spoke with host Alex Marlow on Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Daily about the latest on the Journalism Competition and Protection Act – a bill that would enable establishment and legacy media companies to form a cartel and collectively bargain with Silicon Valley tech giants while excluding conservative media companies.

Most recently, Democrats and their establishment Republican counterparts attempted to shoehorn the legislation into last year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Cotton, a staunch JCPA critic, told the Breitbart...

Thanks to Siri, Apple contractors routinely catch intimate snippets of users’ private lives like drug deals, doctor’s visits, and sexual escapades as part of their quality control duties, the Guardian reported Friday. As part of its effort to improve the voice assistant, “[a] small portion of Siri requests are analysed to improve Siri and dictation,” Apple told the Guardian.

Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes reportedly met with the Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and multiple state attorneys general in recent weeks to discuss breaking up Facebook. Hughes and two prominent antitrust academics, Scott Hemphill and Tim Wu, met with federal and state officials and have laid out a possible antitrust case against the social media giant, The New York Times reported Thursday.
