Lately: Trump and Musk's bromance fallout, professors embracing AI and turning off GPS
Firstly, our apologies for mistakenly sending last week's e-mail earlier this morning. If you have feedback or just want to say hello to a real-life human, send me an e-mail. 🥊 Trump and Musk's bromance implodes on social media 🤖 The universities embracing AI 📍 Why you should turn off GPS 👾 Switch 2 is finally out Usually, we don't witness messy, high-profile breakups in real-time. But when the two partners both own social media platforms – and have a penchant for posting their every thought and feeling – the drama unfolds in a remarkably public forum. The feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump started earlier this week, when the world's richest man called the president's signature domestic policy bill a 'disgusting abomination.' It escalated on Thursday, when they began sparring back and forth on their respective platforms, X and Truth Social. Musk fired a barrage of insults, appearing to call for the president's impeachment and alleging that he is in the Epstein files, while Mr. Trump in turn threatened to strangle the business interests of the billionaire who was, until very recently, one of his most profitable political pals. The rift had immediate effects on Musk, with shares of Tesla plunging by roughly 15 per cent. But it also could have consequences for Trump's ability to spread his Make American Great Again agenda. 'The number one thing that keeps Trump's base on message, in line, obedient – it's Twitter,' said Florida political strategist Rick Wilson in an interview with Globe and Mail international correspondent Nathan VanderKlippe. If Musk adjusts X's algorithm 'and stops promoting Trump's content automatically, I think it starts to change the messaging environment for MAGA.' This week, two new projects that aim to make AI safer and more inclusive launched in Montreal. Famed AI researcher and Turing Award winner Yoshua Bengio is building a non-profit to develop safe AI systems that cannot deceive or harm humans. The organization, which has already raised close to US$30-million in philanthropic funding, is called LawZero – a reference to science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics, which stipulates that intelligent machines may not harm human beings. LawZero was incubated at Mila, the prestigious Montreal-based AI institute. On Monday, the first cohort of 21 Indigenous students from across Canada gathered at Mila to learn about AI as part of a new six-week program. Students will learn about the technology and pitch ideas about how AI can be used to benefit Indigenous communities. The program's long-term goal is to help forge a network of AI professionals across the country. Although Indigenous people in Canada make up 5 per cent of the population, they make up less than 1 per cent in the tech sector. Universities have been cautious about adopting new AI tools, often because they're worried about the possibility of rampant cheating. About 80 per cent of the more than 500 Ontario postsecondary students surveyed in a recent study said they had used generative AI, and about half were using it on a weekly basis, mostly for brainstorming and getting feedback on their writing. So rather than deny the inevitable, some Canadian schools are taking the view that AI should be integrated into the learning process. For example, some professors are encouraging their students to experiment with different large language models, while others have created AI teaching assistants to answer student questions. The Global Positioning System, a network of two dozen satellites that can instantly pinpoint your location, began as a U.S. military project in the 1970s. In 1983, after a Korean airliner accidentally wandered into restricted Soviet airspace and was shot down, Ronald Reagan announced that GPS would be made available for limited civilian use. In 2000, Bill Clinton lifted the remaining restrictions, kick-starting our current reliance. In an excerpt from his latest book The Explorer's Gene: Why We Seek Big Challenges, New Flavors, and the Blank Spots on the Map, author (and Globe columnist) Alex Hutchinson explains how having a navigational tool in our hands at all times has changed how we construct the world around us. I relate to this. Last summer I ditched my iPhone for two weeks as part of a digital detox and was amazed how fulfilling it was to navigate without my iPhone. Sure, while I was visiting New York I got lost a couple of times. But I also felt I was taking in my surroundings more than I do when my eyes are glued to Google Maps. Days-long 'dark retreats' are the newest spiritual conquest for tech elites (WIRED) These companies are requiring workers to use the tech (The Washington Post) Tech giants in the Gulf are building super-apps to dominate digital life (Rest of World) Nintendo Switch 2, $629 At suburban malls and game stores across Canada, diehard video-game fans camped out on Thursday to snag the Switch 2, the follow-up to Nintendo's best-selling console of all time. Nintendo teased the new Switch back in January and had to delay its preorders after U.S. President Donald Trump issued 24-per-cent tariffs on Japan, where the company is based, and 46-per-cent tariffs on Vietnam, where the majority of the consoles are manufactured. Nintendo was able to launch the device within Trump's 90-day pause on tariffs and said it wouldn't raise the price. However, if you missed out on the preorder and your local store is sold out, you may have to pay even more. Resellers are already auctioning off consoles on eBay. Mountainhead, the new film from Succession screenwriter Jesse Armstrong out now on Crave, deftly skewers the tech-bro class. The film follows the story of a fictional social media platform called Traam, which is used by billions around the world, after it introduces new AI features without any content moderation, leading to the creation of real-time deepfakes that spark violent conflicts around the globe. As the world descends into chaos, the founder of Traam, along with three of his fellow tech bros, retreat to a luxurious mountain cabin for the weekend. In a review, The Globe's screens reporter J. Kelly Nestruck said, 'Armstrong's screwball dialogue in this film is as enjoyable – and unquotable in this newspaper – as Succession's at its most absurd.'

Create Account Anthony Constantinou stole at least £70 million (US$95.1 million) from investors he lured with the promise of risk free returns, and was sentenced to 14 years in prison in his absence. News outlets including UK tabloid The Sun and Miami-based website OffshoreAlert reported that Constantinou died of a heart attack in July 2024 while in Guadalajara, Mexico. A death certificate has been filed in Mexico and seen by the City of London Police, but investigators remain unconvinced that Constantinou has actually died, according to lawyers at a court hearing on Thursday. They have evidence of Constantinou's cremation within 24 hours of his death, but some of the documents reviewed contain inaccuracies, including that Constantinou's mother was Mexican. He is known to be of Greek-Cypriot heritage. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'There remains an active search for his whereabouts,' David Durose, a prosecution lawyer, said in court. 'If there were more legitimate grounds to believe that the defendant may have died the Crown would be looking more carefully at it.' Constantinou had no legal representation at the hearing. The police want to recover some of the investor cash that was lost in the scheme and asked the judge to make an order that would help them seize assets. So far recoveries have been minimal, despite Constantinou enjoying a lavish lifestyle, with money being traced through a number of offshore jurisdictions. Constantinou was sentenced in his absence after he disappeared weeks into his trial in 2023. A warrant for his arrest was issued shortly after. Weeks after he disappeared he was arrested in Bulgaria for carrying fake identification documents, but for unknown reasons he was let go. His firm, CWM, lured in victims with false promises of generous returns on risk-free foreign exchange market transactions and lavish perks. Operating out of an office in the City of London's Heron Tower, he enticed investors from late 2013 by boasting of generous returns on allegedly risk-free foreign exchange market transactions, for a minimum investment of £100,000. Client funds were also used to boost Constantinou's lifestyle including his £2.5 million wedding in Santorini, the court heard. Sunshine Girls Sunshine Girls Toronto & GTA Toronto & GTA Olympics

Aaron Rodgers informs Steelers he plans to sign with them: AP source
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (8) smiles and points during an NFL football game against the Miami Dolphins, Sunday, Dec. 8, 2024, in Miami Gardens, Fla. (AP Photo/Doug Murray, File) PITTSBURGH — PITTSBURGH (AP) — Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin are taking their bromance to the next level. The four-time NFL MVP ended months of 'will he or won't he' speculation by informing Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers he plans to join the team for the 2025 season, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Thursday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because Rodgers has not yet signed a contract. The Steelers and the 41-year-old Rodgers had been circling each other for months. Rodgers even visited the team's facility in late March, driving in undercover in a nondescript sedan wearing a hat and sunglasses. While there were plenty of nice words from both sides in the aftermath, Rodgers didn't rush to put pen to paper, telling 'The Pat McAfee Show' in April that his attention was focused on helping people in his inner circle who were 'battling some difficult stuff' and that he didn't want to decide until he knew he could fully commit. With mandatory minicamp coming next week, Rodgers apparently finds himself in a place where he can give the Steelers his full attention. Rodgers joins a team that has been stuck in a transitional period at quarterback since Ben Roethlisberger retired after the 2021 season. Either Rodgers or Mason Rudolph — who returned to Pittsburgh on a two-year deal in March — will likely be Pittsburgh's fifth different Week 1 quarterback in as many seasons. The Steelers have stayed competitive, up to a point anyway, amid the constant churn at the most important position on the field. Pittsburgh has reached the playoffs four times in the last five seasons, only to be quickly escorted out of the postseason in lopsided fashion each time. Justin Fields and Russell Wilson — who combined to lead the Steelers to a 10-7 record and a playoff berth last season — ended up in New York. Fields will replace Rodgers with the Jets after agreeing to a two-year deal. Wilson is heading to the Giants on a one-year contract. Those deals left Rodgers and the Steelers without any other reasonable options. Both sides have their reasons for consummating what is essentially a marriage of convenience. Rodgers hopes to author a happier ending to his Hall of Fame career after two eventful, if underwhelming, seasons with the Jets. While Rodgers is hardly a long-term solution in Pittsburgh, he is the best option left after the Steelers chose not to use one of their higher picks in April's draft on a quarterback, instead taking a late-round flyer on former Ohio State star Will Howard. The union brings Rodgers and Tomlin — the longest-tenured head coach in major professional North American sports — together after years of what is the football equivalent of flirting. They've long held each other in high esteem and have enjoyed a handful of memorable on-field interactions that went viral. Last fall, they playfully nodded at each other as a sign of respect after Tomlin was forced to burn a timeout when Rodgers tried a quick snap that would have ended with the Steelers being penalized for having too many men on the field. Pittsburgh is hoping Rodgers has enough left physically to go with a football IQ that remains elite. He was solid if not spectacular last season in New York, throwing for 28 touchdowns against 11 interceptions. Yet his play on the field often took a back seat to the drama off it as the Jets cycled through coaches and limped to a 5-12 record, with Rodgers spending much of his time in New York defending comments he made on platforms like 'The Pat McAfee Show.' The Steelers are no strangers to drama. If there's been one constant since the team's last Super Bowl appearance — a loss to Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers in February 2011 — it's the ability to employ talented, if mercurial players. The list runs the gamut, from Roethlisberger to Antonio Brown to Le'Veon Bell to JuJu Smith-Schuster to George Pickens, traded to Dallas last month. Pittsburgh has retooled a bit in the offseason, including acquiring two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver DK Metcalf from Seattle. The Steelers quickly signed him to a new five-year deal to bring some stability (and hopefully maturity) to a wide receiver room that's lacked both. The one thing Pittsburgh hadn't done was do the same at the most important position on the field. Tomlin and team president Art Rooney II both kept the door open for Fields and Wilson to return, only to stand by idly when Fields bolted for the Jets and make no serious attempt to retain Wilson. While the Steelers did bring back Rudolph, a season removed from leading them on an improbable run to the playoffs, he is considered a backup. The field of experienced players available eventually winnowed down to Rodgers. His arrival is a stopgap, one that Pittsburgh hopes will keep it competitive until a long-term solution arrives, most likely in the 2026 draft. Until then, Rodgers and the Steelers will try to make the best of a less-than-ideal situation of their own making. ___ AP Pro Football Writer Rob Maaddi contributed to this report. ___ AP NFL: Will Graves, The Associated Press
