Only 26% of Americans view AI positively. Both Anthropic and OpenAI are racing to IPO at a combined $1 trillion-plus while someone firebombed Sam Altman's house, Maine became the first state to ban data centers, and 57% of voters say AI's risks outweigh its benefits.

Iran declared Hormuz open on April 17, then fired on ships that had clearance to pass on April 18. The ceasefire expires in four days with no deal in sight.

In the background, an Oxford economist's paper quietly established that the average American already needs 63 minutes of life-time to earn one international dollar, more than twice the 26 minutes Germans need, and that the gap has been widening for 35 years.
