Oh no. Can you please think of the poor corporation and its CEO? The negativity you talk about regarding AI is hurting them badly. Now Jensen Huang is begging you to stop being so negative about AI: "[It's] extremely hurtful, frankly, and I think we've done a lot of damage," he said.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels.
