Horror in Dubai. A 24 year old American female airline worker in Dubai has been arrested. Dubai police installed a surveillance tool on her phone. Without her consent. They found her sharing an image of a burning building with her mother. So they set a trap. They pretended to be her office staff and called her in for a meeting yesterday. When she arrived, she was arrested. 2 years in jail. That spying tool is installed on every foreigner's device in Dubai. That means the Dubai Police are watching everything foreigners send to their families. Every message. Every photo. Every video. Including the most intimate moments. Dubai has denied her a lawyer.

The journalist who took down Harvey Weinstein just spent 18 months investigating Sam Altman. And what he found out is genuinely insane: The people who built OpenAI went on record saying he can't be trusted with the future of humanity. A Microsoft executive even compared him to Bernie Madoff. This isn't just some hit piece. It's 100+ interviews, secret memos, HR documents, Slack messages, and private notes that had never been seen before. Here's everything you have to know about Ronan Farrow's investigation: Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI's former chief scientist and CO-FOUNDER, compiled 70 pages of internal evidence against Altman. Slack messages. HR files. Behavioral analysis. The word at the top of his list of Altman's "consistent patterns": lying. He sent the documents as disappearing messages because he was "terrified" someone would find them. They became legendary in Silicon Valley. Insiders just call them "the Ilya Memos." Dario Amodei, another co-founder who left to start Anthropic, kept his own private notes. One line: "The problem with OpenAI is Sam himself." Paul Graham, the man who RECRUITED Altman to run Y Combinator, told colleagues Altman had been "lying to us all the time." Multiple YC partners had complained about Altman's behavior by 2018. He was effectively forced out in 2019 despite publicly claiming for YEARS that he left voluntarily. Former board members described him as "unconstrained by truth." And the investigation found that Altman reportedly lied to the board about obtaining safety approvals for some of ChatGPT's most controversial features. That's the man running an $852 billion company with 900 million weekly users and a Pentagon contract. But here's where this gets really crazy: The New Yorker investigation dropped on Sunday. SAME DAY, Altman publishes a 13 page policy paper proposing robot taxes, a public wealth fund, and a four-day workweek. The most ambitious social policy document in OpenAI's history. Dropped within HOURS of the most damaging article ever written about him. That's not coincidence. Monday: Elon Musk files a court motion demanding Altman be REMOVED as CEO. He wants the for-profit conversion completely unwound. Then Friday at 3:45 AM: a 20yo throws a Molotov cocktail at Altman's San Francisco mansion. It bounces off the house. Lights the gate on fire. An hour later, same guy shows up at OpenAI HQ threatening to burn the building down. Police arrest him on the spot. Nobody was hurt. But within hours, Altman posts a photo of his husband and 1yo child on his blog. Writes that he hopes the image "might dissuade the next person." Then blames the New Yorker article for making things "more dangerous" for him. In 5 days, Altman went from the target of the most devastating investigation in tech history to the sympathetic father whose family was attacked. Now anyone who criticizes him has to do it in the shadow of a firebombing. The New Yorker spent 18 months building the case that Altman is dangerous. Altman turned it into the reason HE'S in danger. And none of this changes what Farrow actually found: - The co-founders don't trust him - The former board doesn't trust him - The chief scientist documented 70 pages of evidence and was too scared to send them through normal channels - Paul Graham says he was lied to - A Microsoft executive put him in the same sentence as Madoff The trial starts in 16 days. If Musk wins, the for-profit conversion gets unwound and Altman is removed. If Altman wins, the man that every person who helped build OpenAI has publicly warned about gets permanent, unchecked control of the most powerful AI company on Earth. Either way, one thing is now undeniable... The people closest to Sam Altman are the ones screaming the loudest warnings. And this week proved he knows exactly how to make sure nobody listens. Peak manipulation.

What we are seeing now is the exact opposite of a commodity bull cycle: a supply crisis with unprecedented disruptions in the supply chains of crude oil, LNG, jet fuel, marine fuel, diesel, energy, nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers and basic raw materials. In a commodity bull cycle, high prices are sustained by population and economic growth, which incentivizes production and becomes the solution to high prices. What is happening now is a real shortage, demand rationing, supply chain disruptions. Corn and soybeans stocks are at the origin in the US Midwest, Brazil, and Argentina. Growing these crops has become more expensive for farmers who are already selling below the cost of production due to skyrocketing fertilizers and transporting them to ports has become difficult due to the soaring price of diesel, with no guarantee that they will reach their destinations by sea due to the uncertainty surrounding marine fuel availability. Chicago futures as the name indicates reflect the price of corn and soybeans in Chicago, but the shortage will not happen in Chicago, it will happen at the destination, this is not something solvable by higher futures, the disruption is in the physical markets, truck transportation, bunkering, supply chains, logistics.

🚨 🚨 President Donald J. Trump on the United States military combat operations in Iran:

🚨 BREAKING: The iconic Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai was reportedly hit by an Iranian drone.

@Breaking911 The markets are definitely panicking. If the world’s busiest airport is closed and luxury hotels are being hit, the tourism and real estate bubble could pop overnight

@WallStreetMav I wonder howmuch Bitcoin is in each missile.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: Starting next week, my government will implement the following actions: First, we will change the law in Spain to hold platform executives legally accountable for many infringements taking place on their sites. Second, we will turn algorithmic manipulation and amplification of illegal content into a new criminal offense. Third, we will implement a hate and polarization footprint system to track, quantify, and expose how digital platforms fuel division and amplify hate. Fourth, Spain will ban access to social media for minors under the age of 16. Platforms will be required to implement effective age verification systems — not just checkboxes, but real barriers that work. Fifth and last, my government will work with our public prosecutor to investigate and pursue the infringement committed by Grok, TikTok, and Instagram.

Dirty Sánchez is a tyrant and traitor to the people of Spain 💩

🇺🇸🇨🇭 BREAKING | Davos 🔴 Moment Trump arrived in Davos, Switzerland no one was there to receive him. No official welcome. No delegation. Just a silent arrival at the world’s most elite forum.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 $700,000,000,000 added to the US stock market today.

In his latest attempt to keep overpriced home prices from falling so that more people could afford them, Trump will soon unveil a plan to allow homebuyers to use their 401(k)s to fund down payments. That way Americans can deplete their retirement savings to overpay for houses.
