S1Trump Says He Had A Speech 'Rewritten By AI' And Decided 'I'm Going To Use This' Trump also discussed other AI-related topics on the podcast, including deep fakes. The former president said he saw a deepfake of him promoting a product "and I could not tell [that it was fake], the voice was perfect, the lips moved perfectly with every wordâ¦if you were a lip reader, you'd say it's absolutely perfect." Trump said he thought this was "scary" and gave an example of a deepfake being made of a sitting U.S. president, in which they announce that "13 nuclear missiles" have been launched against a rival nation and they will hit in less than 13 minutes. Trump said he asked Elon Musk if there was any way that in such an event Russia or China could say "that's not really President Trump" and Musk told him "there is no way."Trump's remarks about artificial intelligence and deepfakes come amid growing concerns about the use of generative AI tools to spread disinformation ahead of the presidential elections this year. In January, a robocall featuring a deepfake voice of President Joe Biden urged Democrats in New Hampshire to not vote in the state's presidential primary. The calls were eventually traced back to a Texas-based company, Life Corporation. Since then, the Federal Communications Commission has banned the use of artificial intelligence-generated robocalls. Last year, the Republican National Committee published an attack ad targeting Biden, which used AI-generated imagery to show a post-apocalyptic America if the president won a second term.

S2Billionaire Gautam Adani's Ambuja Cement To Buy Rival For $1.2 Billion Amid India Construction Boom "This landmark acquisition is a significant step forward in Ambuja Cement's accelerating growth journey," Ajay Kapur, CEO of Ambuja Cement said in a statement. With the acquisition, "Ambuja is poised to expand its market presence in south India and reinforce its position as a pan-India leader in the cement industry."The deal will boost Ambuja's annual cement production capacity by 14 million tonnes to about 89 million tonnes, bringing it closer to its target of 140 million tonnes by 2028. That will help narrow the gap with billionaire Kumar Mangalam Birla's Ultratech Cement, the country's largest cement manufacturer which produces almost 153 million tonnes annually.

S3Taylor Swift's tour led Swedish inflation to rise for the first time in over a year A price measure that strips out energy costs and the effect of interest-rate changes rose 3% from a year earlier, according to data published by Statistics Sweden on Friday. That was higher than the median estimate of 2.6% in a Bloomberg survey of analysts as well as the central bank’s 2.9% forecast.While some of the increase in prices could be explained by an increase in accommodation prices as Taylor Swift fans flooded the nation’s capital for three concerts, prices of clothing, food and travel also increased. Hotel prices rose by 11% from April, the biggest monthly increase since May 2019, and larger than May last year, when two Beyoncé shows in the capital attracted some 100,000 spectators.

S4U.S. cities are using shipping containers to build gated micro-communities for homeless people “I’m just so grateful,” said Cynthia Diamond, a 61-year-old former line cook who uses a wheelchair and used to be chronically homeless. “I have my own door key. I ain’t got to worry about nobody knocking on my door, telling me when to eat, sleep or do anything. I’m going to stay here as long as the Lord allows me to stay here.”Faced with years of rising homelessness rates and failed solutions, city officials across the U.S. have been embracing rapid housing options emphasizing three factors: small, quick and cheap. Officials believe micro communities, unlike shelters, offer stability that, when combined with wraparound services, can more effectively put residents on the path to secure housing.

S6That Sound You're Hearing Is 13 Percent of Venture Capital Firms Quiet Quitting Back in the long, long ago 2010s, I found myself in the very lucky position of having sold two startups within 12 months. I say "lucky," but neither of those startups was my first startup, neither of them was my first success, and both of them were founded after I had already put 15 years into the startup game.You might assume that, like many fortunate folks before me, I tripped feet first into startup success, and then decided my next logical step was to start investing in startups myself. Then I learned a very expensive lesson and shouted a lot of swear words and quit investing in startups altogether.

S75 Traps to Avoid as You Gain Power as a Leader As you transition to a leadership role, your relationship to power changes: You gain more of it, and people start acting differently around you due to your authority. How can you avoid the hidden traps of gaining power, which shapes you in ways you may not realize? The authors outline five key traps leaders can fall into — the savior trap, the complacency trap, the avoidance trap, the friend trap, and the stress trap — and offer ways to counteract each.

S8Toward Healthier B2B Relationships Today’s software makes it easier to track patterns, trends, and even granular details of how customers use products. This data is collected in systems that support marketing, sales, finance, and operations. But many companies aren’t sure how they can best support employees who are overseeing hundreds of unique relationships. They’re grappling with how to manage and use all their data to improve customer retention. And they’re wondering how they can assess the health of their customer relationships before it’s too late. One solution is the use of customer‑health scores. In this article the authors introduce a model that any B2B company can use to measure and improve customer health. They identify three dimensions of customer health—customer-relationship quality, product usage, and value realization—and offer advice on how to measure and weigh relevant metrics. The authors then take an in-depth look at how BigCommerce, an e-commerce platform, developed and refined its customer-health model. They share five lessons the company learned through the process, including how to identify the relationship between health and churn, and that a flywheel effect occurs as health scoring matures.

S9The Secret Code of Pickup Basketball The only immovable object on my weekly calendar is a Sunday-night basketball game. We play in a rented gym in Washington, D.C., usually at a high school, because we’re all conserving cartilage and the local middle schools don’t place much cushioning underneath the hardwood. The game has been running for more than 20 years, but it wasn’t always on Sunday nights, and none of the original players is still around. When people get hurt or move away, they’re replaced like planks on the Ship of Theseus. The continuity of the game is the important thing. It has to stay in motion, but not because anyone is trying to get somewhere. None of our regulars retains any ambition of climbing up to some higher echelon of organized basketball, at least I hope not. That’s part of the game’s magic. The enlivening competitive energies that it summons have no higher purpose. They are entirely internal to the game. Play in earliest childhood has this quality.In 2015, Nick Rogers, now a sociologist at the University of Pittsburgh, conducted an ethnography of a pickup-basketball game. Like an anthropologist who heads into the bush to live with tribe members, Rogers became one of the game’s regulars. During breaks, he took hurried notes on his iPhone. (Nice work, if you can get it.) Rogers wanted to understand the paradox of pickup basketball. Its culture is aggressively masculine. Its players tend to be diverse in age, race, and class. They jostle one another, elbow to elbow. They collide with full force. They get loud. And yet, fights are relatively rare. Rogers believes that this carefully pitched intensity is enabled by a special set of norms. These aren’t etched into stone like the Ten Commandments, he told me, but the players he interviewed on the sidelines were all fluent in them, and even reverent toward them. This unspoken code keeps the game from tipping over into violence. It allows a small group of perfect strangers with little in common besides basketball to experience a flow state—a brief, but intense, form of group transcendence.

S10American Women Are at a Breaking Point Parenting in modern America is a high-wire act. For many parents, the experience is shaped by the dominant expectation of intensive, hands-on involvement; stressful competition for scarce slots in child-care and summer-camp programs; and a seemingly endless parade of breakdowns in areas as varied as infant-formula supply and college financial-aid forms. In the past few years, something of a cottage industry has sprung up for books detailing how difficult it is to be a parent, and particularly a mother, in modern America. Titles such as Jessica Grose’s Screaming on the Inside: The Unsustainability of American Motherhood and Tim Carney’s Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be come to mind.In her new book, Holding It Together: How Women Became America’s Safety Net, the sociologist Jessica Calarco joins this conversation, and also pulls it in a new direction. She argues that America intentionally dumps onto women the burden of caring for all those who need it, whether children, the elderly, or those with long-term illnesses and disabilities. And she shows why doing so is harmful, not only for women, but for all of society.

S11S12S13S14Walgreens executive says it is 'doubling down' on recruiting customers into clinical trials Other retailers have struggled with similar efforts to expand beyond their core pharmacy operations. Last year, CVS ended its clinical trial endeavors after two years, and earlier this year, Walmart closed several of its medical clinics. Walgreens hasn’t escaped such troubles either, announcing earlier this year it was closing 160 of its Village MD clinics due to slow growth.Despite this, Walgreens is “doubling down” on its efforts in clinical trials, said Ramita Tandon, the company’s chief clinical trials officer. She previously worked as the chief operating officer of Trio Health, a clinical data solution provider, and the executive vice president of commercialization and health outcomes at the clinical research organization, ICON.

S15Certificate of need laws con rural patients out of health care News watchers around the U.S. have likely seen the warnings: without certificate of need (CON) laws, hospitals will be forced to close their doors when for-profit organizations open and cherry pick commercially insured patients, leaving those in rural areas without care. The reality is that even with certificate of need laws in place, rural patients are already without care. States with these laws have 30% fewer rural hospitals and 13% fewer rural ambulatory surgical centers.CON laws require a state government to approve the establishment or expansion of health care facilities, services, or equipment. These certificates are essentially a government-mandated permission slip that individual health care providers, physician groups, hospitals, and health systems must obtain before they are allowed to care for patients. Essentially, CON laws empower bureaucrats to decide what health care services are offered, instead of that decision being driven by patients’ needs.

S16Russia Ramps Up Sabotage Operations in Europe By the way, there’s a major NATO summit coming up in Washington next month with dozens of world leaders flying in to attend. Robbie and Jack will be on the ground reporting on all the major developments and scoops throughout the summit with special daily editions of Situation Report. Stay tuned to your inboxes, and spread the word if you know anyone interested in signing up for SitRep and following along.The campaign that officials link to Russia or Russian-backed operatives has included an arson attack on a Ukrainian-linked business in London, a wave of cyberattacks to disrupt European railway networks in countries on NATO’s eastern flank, the jamming of GPS signals across the Baltic states, a botched attempt to set Czech buses on fire, and failed plots to sabotage U.S. military bases in Germany. Other incidents—such as a fire in May at a factory in Germany owned by a company that helps produce air defense systems and a mysterious explosion at a British munitions factory in April—haven’t been proved to be acts of sabotage and may have been simple accidents, but officials remain suspicious.

S17G-7 Outlines $50 Billion Ukraine Loan Deal, New Security Agreements G-7 leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States convened in Fasano, Italy, on Thursday for a three-day summit to present unity in the face of global threats. But political turmoil at home underpinned much of their discussions as heads of state and government tried to negotiate agreements that would be difficult for potential future leaders to undo.Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who is hosting this year’s summit, emerged from European Union parliamentary elections over the weekend as a clear victor. But the other G-7 states face unstable political home fronts. French President Emmanuel Macron called for snap elections on Sunday after the country’s far-right National Rally party outperformed Macron’s own party in the EU elections. And German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was forced to reckon with the far-right Alternative for Germany party becoming the country’s second-most popular party after Europe’s elections concluded.

S18India Steps Back From the Brink Worse for Modi, he suffered a double personal blow in the elections. His party lost a majority of seats in Uttar Pradesh, India’s largest state, once considered an impregnable fortress for his brand of Hindu nationalism and identity politics. It was only this January that Modi consecrated a temple in the state to the Hindu deity Ram, in a ceremony that both represented the fulfilment of decades of Hindu nationalist agitation and conjured a euphoric triumph for the prime minister. And for the first time, the party also did not do well in constituencies where Modi spent time campaigning. Voters seemed to be turned off by what was one of the most vicious and vitriolic BJP campaigns of recent years, replete with explicit hate speech directed at India’s minority Muslim community.But can his alliance partners trust him? Even if his personality does not prove an obstacle, the suspicions of his allies might. There are at least two potential stumbling blocks here. The first is that as the BJP consolidates its power, it typically gains an advantage over its alliance partners, by hook or by crook. Alliances allow the BJP to broaden its appeal and acceptability in the states home to its allies; eventually the party begins to make inroads into the base of those alliance partners. In this way, the BJP has in the past used its power to break up smaller parties, attracting legislators through the allure of its power and integrating them within the BJP. Neither of Modi’s principal allies, N. Chandrababu Naidu, the leader of the Telugu Desam Party, or Nitish Kumar, the head of the Janata Dal (United), will be unaware of these dangers. If they let the BJP get too successful, they put their own growth at risk.

S19Mapping the Darkness Excerpt: Sleep Spelunking When University of Chicago physiologist Nathaniel Kleitman told fellow faculty members he was seeking a locale for a month-long sleep experiment — someplace as isolated from the rhythms of day and night as the Arctic in summer — a colleague in the geology department said he knew just the spot.Between 10 million and 15 million years ago, in what is now south‑central Kentucky, trickles of groundwater began probing the cracks in a fossil seabed. Over the eons, the pockets grew and grew until they’d formed the most extensive cave system in North America — over 400 miles of underground chambers, canyons, tubes, shafts, and passageways, interwoven with Stygian rivers.

S20'Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero' Is a Dazzlingly Self-Indulgent Celebration of the Legendary Series There have been a lot of Dragon Ball games over the decades, and I mean a lot, like literally over 40 different games. Only series like Star Wars have that same staying power, with such a rabidly dedicated fan base. But Dragon Ball fans also know exactly what they want, and that’s a fighting game that lets you play as 15 different versions of Goku. Dragon Ball Sparking Zero brings back the beloved Budokai Tenkaichi games from the PS2 era, and it’s a dazzling hilariously self-indulgent entry that hopes to honor the legacy of the late Akira Toriyama. The king of anime fighters is back.I’ll explain what I mean about Sparking Zero being self-indulgent. This is a game that utterly revels in the history of Dragon Ball, the dozens of beloved and obscure characters, and the sheer explosive spectacle of fights. For all intents and purposes, this is a Budokai Tenkaichi game cranked up to 11, given leave to run wild.

S21S22Marvel's Most Cursed Movie Just Hit a Historic New Low for the MCU It’s been five years since Marvel announced plans to bring Blade into its cinematic universe. Mahershala Ali felt like the perfect actor to update the vampire hunter for a new era, and Marvel found a promising new director in Bassam Tariq. But the intervening years haven’t done much to instill confidence in Blade. With several behind-the-scenes shake-ups, including the loss of Tariq and a handful of screenwriters, its 2025 release date is looking less doable by the day.Now Blade has hit yet another snag. Yann Demange, the director who succeeded Tariq, has also parted ways with Marvel. This update comes via The Wrap, and though Demange’s departure was “entirely amicable,” it casts yet another shadow over an already-trouble production.

S245 Years Ago, Nintendo's Released the Most Unique Zelda Game -- And Broke Its Own Strictest Rule Unless you’re playing Space Channel 5, dancing usually isn’t the best way to stop the world from ending. The other exception comes in Crypt of the NecroDancer: Cadence of Hyrule, a rare Legend of Zelda spinoff not made by Nintendo that presents a very different adventure for Zelda and Link. Released on June 13, 2019, Cadence of Hyrule proves great things can happen when a publisher lets someone else take a swing at a beloved series. Five years later, there’s still nothing quite like it.Cadence of Hyrule is actually a spinoff of both The Legend of Zelda and the 2015 indie rhythm game Crypt of the NecroDancer. In that game, players descend into a dungeon full of monsters, all dancing to the beat of the soundtrack. Each enemy has its own pattern, some simply running in circles and others following more complex routines of moving and pausing. Players also need to move to the beat, advancing one square at a time on a grid. Colliding with an enemy when they’re not moving toward you damages them, but getting hit by being in their path means taking damage yourself.

S26The Most Controversial Cult Thriller of the Past Century Is Getting an Unnecessary Remake For almost 20 years, Andrzej Żuławski’s Possession was almost impossible to find — at least, in its original uncut version. Despite a prestigious premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in 1981, the gonzo psychological horror film was quickly labeled a “video nasty” and banned in the U.K., while only a heavily edited 81-minute version (as opposed to the original 124-minute version) was released in the U.S. For decades it was out of circulation, with the full version only being made available on home video in 2000.Despite this, or maybe because of it, Possession grew to be a cult classic. But Possession is more than just its impenetrable reputation — it’s truly one of the most deeply disturbing, deeply personal, and remarkably uncompromising horror films of all time. Which is why it’s such a folly for anyone to attempt a remake of it.

S28S29The Most Fantastical Movie of the Year is a Mixed Bag of Emotions As Pixar, which distinguished itself from the start as a purveyor of delightfully and movingly original animated features (and proved with last year’s Elemental that it still has that touch), now seems equally devoted to sequelizing all its past triumphs, Inside Out 2 was a cause for both anticipation and apprehension. With its note-perfect evocation through personalization of the core emotions operating within the psyche of 11-year-old Riley, and one classic tearjerker of a scene, 2015’s Inside Out was an especially tough act to follow, even as it ended with hints of a potential second chapter: The new Puberty button on the emotions’ upgraded console and Joy’s closing line, “Riley’s 12 now. What could happen?”The answer to that question in Inside Out 2, which rejoins Riley (Kensington Tallman) as she turns 13, is: plenty. The squabbly yet smoothly running Headquarters of the girl’s mind is disrupted by that Puberty alarm going off, and a destructive/reconstructive incursion by those blobby little workers, making way for the arrival of new emotions. Joining Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust, and Fear (the latter two performed by Liza Lapira and Tony Hale, smoothly taking over for Mindy Kaling and Bill Hader) are the quartet that have so much sway over young teen experience. Ennui (Adèle Exarchopoulos), Embarrassment (Paul Walter Hauser), Envy (Ayo Edebiri), and especially Anxiety (Maya Hawke) have been visually conceived and voiced just as amusingly as the first team. With her wide eyes and explosion of frizzy hair making her somewhat resemble an electrocuted troll doll, Anxiety is a living burst of manic energy who quickly bids to take control of Riley’s actions.

S31'The Acolyte' Theory Sets Up a Tragic Jedi Twist In The Acolyte Episode 3, titled "Destiny," it's finally revealed what really happened between Mae and Osha (Amandla Stenberg) on their home planet of Brendok over a decade prior to the main events of the show. The episode offers viewers a glimpse into the twin sisters' life as the only two children in a witch coven led by their mothers, Aniseya (Jodie Turner-Smith) and Koril (Margarita Levieva) — a life that ends with the fire that not only tore Mae and Osha apart, but also resulted in the deaths of their entire coven.Osha, at least, is certainly led to believe that it was Mae's fire that killed their family. "Destiny," however, stops short of confirming whether or not that's what actually happened, and The Acolyte has already given Star Wars fans plenty of reasons to doubt the version of events that's sold to Osha at the end of the episode. The chapter's tragic third act even leaves the door open for a future reveal that could very well alter Osha's view of the Jedi Order and even her teacher, Master Sol (Lee Jung-jae), forever.

S32Netflix Just Quietly Released the Most Ridiculous Sci-Fi Disaster Movie of the Year Disaster movies are timeless because, well, there’s so much that can go wrong. An airborne illness can sweep the planet. A massive earthquake could turn California to rubble. Global warming could throw the world into chaos. These movies work because the scenario feels real, even if the specifics are usually exaggerated for the sake of an awesome explosion or two. But sometimes, the most amazing disaster movies come from the most unlikely of possibilities — like an alien invasion, or the Moon crashing down to Earth, or a Sharknado. Now, thanks to Netflix, we can add one more movie to that popular subgenre.

It’s not known how many people are buried beneath the rubble of the more than half of Gaza’s buildings that are reported to have been destroyed.But it’s equally important to note that the violence began on October 7 when Hamas launched its savage attack on Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 people hostage. Of those, 116 remain in Hamas hands, although one-third of these are now thought to have died.

S46Is it really possible to have Alzheimer's yet no symptoms? Some people seem to be more resilient to developing Alzheimer’s diseases, despite having the biological hallmarks of the devastating disease. For obvious reasons, scientists are very interested in studying this special group of people.Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia, is thought to start because of a build-up of two proteins in the brain: amyloid and tau. Once these proteins accumulate, for yet-to-be-determined reasons, they become toxic to brain cells (neurons) and these cells start dying. As a result, people develop symptoms such as memory loss because the brain can’t function properly with all these dead neurons.
