MUG SHOT – AUGUST 24, 2023
ELECTION INTERFERENCE
NEVER SURRENDER!

...
Today, at the notoriously violent jail in Fulton County, Georgia, I was ARRESTED despite having committed NO CRIME.

The American people know what’s going on. What has taken place is a travesty of justice and ELECTION INTERFERENCE.

The Left wants to intimidate YOU out of voting for a political outsider who puts the American people FIRST.

But today, I walked into the lion’s den with one simple message on behalf of our entire movement: I WILL NEVER SURRENDER OUR MISSION TO SAVE AMERICA.

Beijing Drafts Regulations to Limit Use of A.I. in Health Care

The Beijing Municipal Health Commission drafted regulations on Monday that would “strictly prohibit” using artificial intelligence (A.I.) systems to produce medical prescriptions.

The rules would restrict A.I. in various other ways, with the overall goal of ensuring A.I. “shall not replace the doctors to provide diagnosis and treatment services.”

The South China Morning Post (SCMP) noted that these regulations, if adopted in full, would “mark the first time a local government explicitly limits the use of generative A.I. in healthcare.”

The Chinese central government has promulgated some regulations on A.I. and, in fact, has yet to allow anything comparable to the famed ChatGPT system for consumers.

On the other hand, the Chinese Communist Party has often expressed a desire to take the leadership position on worldwide A.I. research, boosted by China’s lack of concern for privacy rights and its mania for accumulating gigantic databases, often without the consent or awareness of the people it mines for information.
...
The Chinese government is also eager to ensure that artificial minds are firmly shackled to Communist ideology. Piles of regulations have been written by the central government to require that all A.I. chatbots “adhere to core socialist values” and must never express an idea that “incites subversion of state power and the overthrow of the socialist system.”

US Justice Department sues SpaceX over hiring practices

The US Justice Department filed a lawsuit against SpaceX on Thursday over its hiring practices, accusing Elon Musk’s rocket company of discriminating against asylum seekers and refugees.

“Our investigation found that SpaceX failed to fairly consider or hire asylees and refugees because of their citizenship status and imposed what amounted to a ban on their hire regardless of their qualification, in violation of federal law,” Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke said.

“Our investigation also found that SpaceX recruiters and high-level officials took actions that actively discouraged asylees and refugees from seeking work opportunities at the company,” Clarke added in a statement.

The Justice Department said SpaceX, from September 2018 to May 2022, discouraged asylum seekers and refugees from applying for jobs at the company because of their citizenship status.

“SpaceX wrongly claimed that under federal regulations known as ‘export control laws,’ SpaceX could hire only US citizens and lawful permanent residents, sometimes referred to as ‘green card holders,'” the department said.

“Export control laws impose no such hiring restrictions,” it said.
