News That Even AI Couldn’t Hallucinate 🌎

Not everything in the news can be about AI. Here’s some stuff you should know about:

• Meta is ending its partnership with third-party fact checkers in favor of a ‘Community Notes’ approach more similar to X. The announcement also comes with relaxed rules around political speech on their platforms. - source

• Wildfires in Los Angeles have killed 2 and caused thousands to evacuate. Officials report that the fire has consumed over 5,000 acres and approximately 1,000 structures with zero percent containment. - source

• President-elect Trump has made some pretty shocking statements around foreign policy in the weeks running up to his inauguration. As Trump contends with legal cases and frequent media reminders surrounding his prior refusal to accept the results of the previous election and subsequent Capitol riots, he has been making his own media frenzy. Among more recent international demands:

  • He wants Greenland. And Canada (seemingly up for grabs now). And free access to the Panama Canal. And to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. And peace in the Middle East by the time he’s in office or he “will bring Hell on Earth” to the war-torn region.
