An email was sent to White House staff on 24 March, warning them against using insider information to place bets on prediction markets like Kalshi or Polymarket.

Polymarket then posted what they call a 'market' on when the rescue mission would be complete. Users who paged over to Polymarket's Iran tab would have scrolled by 'Kharg Island no longer under Iranian control by...?' and 'Hezbollah military action against Israel on...?' to get to 'US confirms pilots rescued by...?'

Esquire's Joy Ling stated, 'We were stoked to have some face time with the Japanese-American actor, but his schedule prevented it. With a driving need for a feature, we had to be inventive.'

The Atlantic report details financial and political activity involving Duffy, a former Republican congressman representing Wisconsin, that ethics experts say blurs the line between public office and political activity.

Since the first IVF baby was born in 1978, technological advancement of reproductive medicine has enabled millions to have children, marking a significant milestone in medical history.

I think the breakthrough AI opportunity is still slightly ahead of us or slightly ahead of most of us, and that is the widespread introduction of AI companions that we'll have at our disposal at work and home that are trained by us, that know everything we know, and that can take action on our behalf across a range of activities.

We've taken a generally precautionary approach here. We don't know if the models are conscious. We're not even sure that we know what it would mean for a model to be conscious or whether a model can be conscious. But we're open to the idea that it could be. And so we've taken certain measures to make sure that if we hypothesize that the models did have some morally relevant experience, I don't know if I want to use the word conscious, that they do.

If you look at the dot com bubble, that's the best example that we have of what happened in the past. A lot of companies went bankrupt, but there were some companies that actually did really well, like Amazon, for example. So I think [that's] what will happen with AI. There are use cases that are tangible and real, and there's a lot of hype... post-bubble, that hype is not going to last, but tangible results that actually solve problems and then lead to results that team will remain and will thrive afterwards.

Now, being associated with Jeffrey Epstein is not a crime. Epstein was a businessman and a creepy version of a socialite. He did business with and socialized with a lot of people, as we now know.

I mean, this was Lutnick telling The New York Post about an incident with Epstein, who happened to be Lutnick's next door neighbor when he visited his house back in 2005.

The Air Force remains committed to expediting delivery of the VC-25 bridge aircraft in support of the Presidential airlift mission, with an anticipated delivery no later than summer 2026. The air force added that it has accepted the Qatari gift which will be used for executive airlift. Described as a flying palace, the estimated $400m gift to Trump last year drew widespread bipartisan backlash, with lawmakers voicing ethical concerns over Qatar's motives and questioning the 13-year-old plane's security measures.

During the summer of 2020, at the onset of the Covid pandemic, the documentary director Matt Nadel was back home in Boca Raton, Florida. He remembers one particular evening walk that he took with his father, Phil, as they weathered out those early months. As they strode through the neighborhood, Nadel, now 26, said that the prospect of a vaccine was exciting, but the idea of pharmaceutical executives profiting off a devastating virus left him feeling uneasy.
