He says things like the “God Bless America” Bible overlook the many, many Christians who do not agree with Trump’s politics or the blending of patriotism with faith. He was among the imprint’s writers who tried to discourage them from publishing the “God Bless the USA” Bible when the idea was first introduced. “I am reminded of how we closed every Marine Corps boot camp chapel service with Lee Greenwood’s ‘God Bless the USA’,” he told CNN. The FAQ section of the “God Bless America” Bible website clarifies that no proceeds from the sales of the Bible will go towards Trump’s presidential campaign. CNN has reached out to EliteSource Pro, the marketing company behind the “God Bless the USA” Bible, for more information.

Vestager said she accepted Scott Morton's decision to quit with regret but economists warned that the debacle will leave the bloc's competition commissioner weakened. Vestager should have been more transparent on possible conflicts of interest, said EU lawmaker Paul Tang from the Netherlands. That didn't help the candidature of Scott Morton," he said. Vestager's defence of her choice at a hearing on Tuesday was disappointing, said EU lawmaker and French lawyer Stephanie Yon-Courtin, who opposed Scott Morton's appointment. The issue with this nomination was neither American nor French, it is a matter of European interest," she said.

Police said they had issued a concern for welfare report for Cremer on June 26, some 14 days after she stopped contacting her family and friends. She is believed to have been heading to Tasmania’s west coast when she went missing. Celine Cremer’s sister Amelie called for help locating her sister in a Facebook post earlier this week. “We no longer have a sign of life of my sister,” she wrote on June 26, though she said the family was not giving up. The Philosopher Falls track has been closed to the public while police continue to search the area.

☆ CEOs see ChatGPT as an 'Ozempic' miracle drug that can cut costs and boost efficiency. Right now, they're wrong.
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-30 | by ( Hasan Chowdhury | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Ozempic and ChatGPT have blown up in the year of the cure-all. As Justine Moore, investment partner at Silicon Valley VC firm a16z, tweeted this month: "By 2025, America is going to run on Ozempic and ChatGPT." CEOs running businesses that have nothing to do with AI are talking about ChatGPT during their quarterly earnings calls. But like Ozempic, AI comes with side effects. Samsung banned its employees from using generative AI tools after finding some of its engineers accidentally leaked internal source code by uploading it to ChatGPT in April.

LONDON, April 19 (Reuters) - French sailor Clarisse Cremer, who lost her sponsorship only months after the birth of her daughter, is back on course for the 2024 Vendee Globe, with Britain's Alex Thomson and a new partner on board. The 24,000 mile Vendee, known as the Everest of sailing, is one of the few top sporting events where women compete with men. Thomson, 49, whose best result in the French-dominated race was second, said L'OCCITANE had proved a "saviour" and would help to make sailing more equitable. Cremer said she was looking forward to sailing with Thomson for the first time on her newly-acquired boat, which finished second in the Vendee in 2021 and which Thomson said had cost "a little under" 5 million euros ($5.5 million).

In the case of Elon Musk v. Charismatic Megafauna, the agency intends to publish its final report in late April. Musk went on: "Either explicitly or implicitly some people seem to think that humans are a blight on the Earth's surface. Musk is talking about existential risk, the idea that something — an asteroid, a rogue artificial intelligence — might kill every human on Earth. And if you assume that future human minds will "mainly be implemented in computational hardware instead of biological neuronal wetware," as Bostrom does, you end up with a mind-boggling 1054 human lives. Musk has made the defense of "future life" his mission.
