There is evidence that the private sector has as much responsibility for generating corruption as the public sector. Particular situations such as state capture can be very damaging for the economy
opponents of the minimum wealth tax totally lack historical perspective ... It is unrealistic to imagine that the working class and the middle class will calmly accept additional taxes or cuts to public spending. So long as the wealthiest individuals pay taxes that are trivial relative to their net worth, no one will accept the slightest sacrifice. Just as in the decades that came before 1789
If one builds a fortune while relying on the country’s infrastructure, education, and health systems, there is no reason that one should so readily escape the collective obligations that fund these systems
By opposing the 2% minimum wealth tax on billionaires, after the measure was adopted by France's Assemblée nationale (lower house of Parliament), the upper house, the Sénat, has shown …
Wealth is collective: It depends on the involvement of thousands of employees, not a handful of individual geniuses
According to Challenges magazine, which is hardly a bastion of left-wing thought, France’s 500 highest fortunes rose from €200 billion to €1.2 trillion between 2010 and 2025 – a 500% increase. With a 2% annual wealth tax, it would take a century to make them go back to their 2010 level. That’s assuming they receive no income in the meantime, which would make little sense, given that these fortunes have grown by 7% to 8% per year over the past 15 years
Bloc National (1919-1924) – one of the most right-wing legislatures in the French Republic’s history – that would raise the tax rate to 60% in 1920, and then to 75% in 1923

Inside Job is a 2010 American documentary film, directed by Charles Ferguson, about the 2008 financial crisis. Ferguson, who began researching in 2008,[3] said the film is about "the systemic corruption of the United States by the financial services industry and the consequences of that systemic corruption",[4] amongst them conflicts of interest...

Conventional “symbolic” AI runs computations according to algorithms and traditional computer programs that are stated abstractly ... But generative AI works in a different way, by approximating the things that humans have said in various situations.A symbolic AI system could simply look up where Shearer was born, such as by consulting his Wikipedia page. By contrast, generative AI systems ingest the entire internet, identify patterns of human language, and try to reconstruct what sounds plausible in a given contextHallucinations tend to be the kind of thing a person might say in a given context if she didn’t exactly know what was going on ... it is generating the kind of reasonable-sounding, well-formed, grammatical sentence that you might hear from a human. But it is false

In 2025, The American Sunlight Project, a non-profit, published a study[161] showing evidence that the so-called Pravda network, a pro-Russia propaganda aggregator, was strategically placing web content through mass publication and duplication with the intention of biasing LLM outputs. The American Sunlight Project coined this technique "LLM grooming", and pointed to it as a new tool of weaponizing AI to spread disinformation and harmful content
A large language model (LLM) is a language model trained with self-supervised machine learning on a vast amount of text, designed for natural language processing tasks, especially language generation. The largest and most capable LLMs are generative pretrained transformers (GPTs), which are largely used in generative chatbots such as ChatGPT...
“We need policy changes, not just tech breakthroughs, to meet our climate goals.”... the conflict between human interests ... at a point when the growth of that very technology is threatening to undermine the meager progress the world has begun to make on climate change ... one thing we can state confidently about generative AI is that it’s making the hardest problem we’ve ever had to solve that much harder to solve
OpenAI’s Sam Altman claims AI will deliver an "Intelligence Age," but tech breakthroughs alone can't solve global warming.
other countries should make market access to foreign multinationals (and their main owners) conditional on their paying a minimum amount of tax ... If billionaires refuse to pay taxes, market access for the firms they own should be denied
You have to give Donald Trump credit for one thing: for all his inconsistency on many issues, he believes deeply in high tariffs. He has been preaching that gospel for at least four decades, convinced that tariffs are the key to America’s future prosperity. Shortly after promising to “tariff and tax foreign countries to enri
