What was announced was a $500 Billion investment in a national AI initiative corp, the first apparent application of which is medicine. The examples that the brilliant men provided were not intelligent. You are listening to Silicon Valley AI guys talk about healthcare/biomedicine without involving a physician researcher or biomedical scientist to this point, otherwise they never would have provided the stated examples. Healthcare record AI was attempted by IBM's Watson and failed miserably.

Further, Ellison mentioned sequencing a tumor and applying anti-sense mRNA against the tumor's expression... uh, OK we can do that now w/o AI. It's freakishly simple in fact. The problem is cancer is multivariate, oncogenic drift/escape is dynamic, DNA/RNA seq only provides a snap-shot and many other issues.

I won't go into the details but the rub is the reporters don't know shit about either topic to ask good questions, but what else is new.

I am reposting this because it’s very important, and I haven’t seen this on any place on the web. They have proven themselves thus far to be snake oil salesmen.

I did see that today Musk threw cold water on the “Stargate” investment program, saying they don’t have enough money[...]

If I had to choose between the “Stargate” team and Musk, I would take Musk in a heartbeat. I hope he will privately talk to Trump about it. Not that they shouldn’t do the investment—not asking for public funding—but the promises so far are virtually snake oil.

If she’s really in the career Senior Executive Service, reassign her to support the US mission on Diego Garcia.

She takes the new assignment or is terminated.

Trump obliterates DEI with scathing order to cancel all federal diversity programs and reveals deadline to place EVERY employee on leave as he warns of 'adverse consequences'

By WILL POTTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
PUBLISHED: 21:41 EST, 21 January 2025 | UPDATED: 00:57 EST, 22 January 2025

...Any employees that are aware of 'coded or imprecise language' intended to keep DEI programs alive but do not report them within 10 days are warned of 'adverse consequences.'

Trump's executive order, titled 'Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing and Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions', directly reverses a DEI executive order enacted by President Biden on his first day in office four years ago.

Tuesday's order concludes: 'These programs divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in shameful discrimination.'

After all DEI hires are placed on leave by 5pm Wednesday, agencies are ordered to develop plans to lay off each employee that was hired under DEI policies, with a deadline of next Friday given to develop a list for a 'reduction in force action.'

Agencies must then report to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) on 'all steps taken' to remove DEI programs by January 23, including a complete list of all employees that had been in DEI offices as of November 5, 2024.

A written plan for firing all DEI employees must then be submitted to the OPM by January 31, 2025, including a list of all 'contract descriptions or personnel position descriptions that were changed since November 5, 2024' to conceal their DEI intentions. ...

President Donald Trump’s latest executive action will cut off federal funding to any learning institutions that mandate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) provisions or hire contractors that engage in such practices.

According to the Jan. 22 order, titled “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity,” any schools that receive federal money, including funds for special education programs and low-income student populations in K-12 schools or federal student loan programs (Pell grants) in colleges and universities, will be issued guidance for complying with this mandate within 120 days.
The Attorney General, U.S. Department of Education, and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) have also been assigned to identify the “most egregious and discriminatory practitioners in each sector of concern.”

Constitutioncenter.org: The President’s Power to Adjourn Congress

Under Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution, the president does have the power to call for an adjournment of Congress under narrow circumstances. The clause in part reads that the president “may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper.” So far, the president has never exercised the power to adjourn Congress when the House and Senate cannot agree on a time to adjourn.

This section is linked to the Adjournments Clause in Article I, Section 5, which states that “Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting.”

In Noel Canning, Breyer acknowledged the possibility of a presidentially triggered recess. “The Constitution also gives the president (if he has enough allies in Congress) a way to force a recess,” he said, pointing to Article II, Section 3. “Moreover, the president and senators engage with each other in many different ways and have a variety of methods of encouraging each other to accept their points of view.”
