According to him, the explanation that Köhn’s nationality switch had not been completed was inaccurate. Agyei insisted his nephew had fulfilled the requirements and suggested external factors within…

Meanwhile, Americans are still struggling to afford gas and basic goods Donald Trump loves money. He also loves to plaster his name and face across any piece of federal property that could possibly accommodate them — from passports, to memorials to other presidents, to National Park passes. It was probably inevitable, then, that he’d eventually try to put his face on U.S. currency. The Washington Post reported on Thursday that the administration is pressing the Treasury Department’s Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a $250 bill featuring Trump’s face.

The math does not add up and the logic is not sound. That could be the summary of the current AI bubble. If that is true and AI does not deliver on its promise, what could the massive build-up of data centers be used for?
