⚡️🇩🇪 NEW - German Chancellor Friedrich Merz says AI could replace many workers, and that this is exactly why the government is pushing it.

⚡️💬 NEW - Elon Musk: There's a limit to what any single human can consume. You hit that saturation point pretty fast. Going from a billion dollars in net worth to $10 billion doesn't make you ten times happier or mean you have ten times more stuff. It actually means you've got a resource allocation problem.

⚡️🔫🧬 NEW - French police are calling for “DNA GUNS” to identify suspects during protests. These weapons could fire pellets containing a synthetic DNA liquid with a UNIQUE CODE up to 30 to 40 meters. Upon impact, the pellet bursts and releases a liquid capable of penetrating clothing and leaving traces on the skin for several days—EVEN AFTER WASHING—allowing the targeted individuals to be identified later. But this technology raises serious concerns. The projectiles could cause injuries, particularly to the FACE OR EYES. Even more concerning: a person could be marked WITHOUT HAVING COMMITTED ANY OFFENSE. This marking would link them to a police operation, WITHOUT, HOWEVER, PROVING THAT THEY PARTICIPATED IN VIOLENCE OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. 👉 The use of coded marking devices is among the recommendations in a Senate report on law enforcement.

⚡️💬 NEW - Elon Musk on AI: I do think there's at least some percentage chance of it being an existential threat. But there's nothing I can do to stop it. So I basically came to the conclusion I've got two choices, which is either be a participant or a spectator. Being a participant is more interesting than being a spectator, and maybe I can shape it, hopefully in a good direction.

⚡️💬 NEW - Elon Musk: I think people will find ways to be happy, in the same way that people who retire seem to be fairly happy even though they're not working. But the reality is that there won't be anything humans can do that AI and robots can't do better. One analogy might be gardening. You don't have to grow your own fruits and vegetables. You can just buy them from the store. But sometimes people like to grow their own fruits and vegetables and make dinner for friends. It's kind of a nice touch.

⚡️🇺🇦 NEW - Zelensky: Why do empires fall apart? Because people want to be free. People live like fish in a fish tank. The fish tank can be massive, like the Soviet Union, but it's still a fish tank. North Korea is a smaller fish tank, but it's a fish tank.
