“The AI is likely a bit of a headache for the folks at xAI if they feel they need to push updates to protect Musk. It recently told a user that the three people doing the most damage to America were Musk, the president and the vice president. It also said that Trump ‘deserves the death penalty.’”

The Halifax Examiner is making all its reporting on the Houston government's anti-transparency efforts free and open to everyone. If you can afford to support them, you should.

A bill in the Texas House would require students who bring cell phones to school to lock them in a school-provided case, pouch or bag during the school day. Is that a good idea? Tell us what you think and how the issue plays out in your own life.

Apple's building a server manufacturing site in the Houston area that is supposed to shift manufacturing from overseas. It's scheduled to open in 2026 and should create thousands of jobs, Apple says. www.houstonchronicle.com/business/art...

Houston Public Media: 'Harris County joins legal fight against spending cuts to National Institutes of Health' 'Harris County is part of a coalition of local governments that signed on to an amicus brief..arguing NIH’s funding cuts are unjustified..' www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

This is why Texas Gov. Greg Abbott singles out Harris County schools for government harassment, including removal of libraries to make room for discipline centers. Houston is a strong city. They fight back. Texas Republicans fear that kind of power.
