Trump consulted Grok on Venezuela
In December, Donald Trump spent hours chatting with the AI bot Grok, according to a lengthy report in Time Magazine. Among other things, the president is said to have asked how the people of Venezuela would react if the US arrested the country's president NicolĂĄs Maduro.
According to an official who was in the room, Grok is said to have given positive answers. When the United States then cracked down on the matter and captured the president, Trump is said to have praised the AI ââbot.
America.gov told the truth â for a while
This week, Donald Trump presented the site america.gov, an AI service that will help the country's residents get accurate information. Many noted that the service contradicted Donald Trump on a range of issues, such as whether the 2020 election was rigged and whether prices have increased during his time as president.
After two days, the bot stopped answering those types of questions.
Trump sells exclusive dinner
The 185 largest owners of Trump's cryptocurrency will have an exclusive dinner with the president, reports the newly launched newspaper Washington Sun, which is largely made up of former Washington Post employees.
The president has so far become $635 million richer on $TRUMP, prompting critics to accuse him of corruption. The dinner may drive up the value of the currency further.
The Watergate scandal must be reviewed
The Department of Justice is to conduct a preliminary review of whether President Richard Nixon was overreached during the Watergate scandal, the Wall Street Journal reports. The decision comes after a controversial historian presented his thesis to the authority.
The Justice Department has devoted a lot of time to Donald Trump's enemies - now the question is whether they will try to clean up another Republican president with a tarnished reputation.
Tax funded movies with Trump
Several television channels have aired tax-funded videos with Donald Trump, in which the president says he will do away with fake news, globalists and communists. That violates the law, critics from both parties say, because the president can't use taxpayer dollars for campaign videos.
The White House has rejected the accusations and believes that it is information useful to society.
Traded AI to SI for money?
That the president has changed the name of artificial intelligence (AI) to superintelligence (SI) may not have escaped anyone. Information came this week that the decision may have been about making money, writes the fact-checking site Snopes.
Before the announcement, thousands of domains with the name .si were bought up, which actually belong to the country of Slovenia. When Trump rewrote his decision, the value of those domain names increased. It is not possible to see who has made money from the scheme.
Tourism plummets in the US
The United States looks set to receive two million fewer visitors this year than before, despite the country hosting the soccer World Cup. The development is perhaps not surprising since, above all, fewer tourists are coming from Canada and Europe, against which Donald Trump has pursued an aggressive policy.
The list of things mentioned in this text, a typical week in October, probably does not attract more people to the country.
