Cherry Creek News · Ashburn, VA
Nearby: Ashburn, VASan Francisco’s newly elected congressman is making one thing clear before he even takes his seat: America needs to hit the brakes on artificial intelligence. Scott Wiener, the California state senator who just won the hard-fought race for Nancy Pelosi’s open seat, has spent years authoring legislation aimed at curbing the risks of advanced AI. Now he’s bringing that mission to Washington — and he isn’t mincing words about the stakes. “We need to slow this down,” Wiener told MIT Technology Review just hours after he was declared the victor. “Because it’s moving very quickly, and we could sleepwalk into a disaster.” In a 20-minute conversation, the congressman-elect used the phrase “recursive self-improvement” half a dozen times — a window into how deeply he’s thinking about where AI is headed.

WorldNetDaily · Herndon, VA
Nearby: Herndon, VAJohn Brennan was the CIA director under Barack Obama’s administration and his blunt, hatchet man personality drew little favor from those outside his party. He, of course, had a large role in the Democrat Party lawfare against Donald Trump, then candidate for president, in cases that rolled like a steamroller through much of his first term. Now he’s under investigation for a variety of potential offenses, such as lying to Congress, and recently lost a lawsuit trying to force the government to bend to his will in its investigation. Turns out he’s not the only Brennan family member likely to spend some time in courtrooms. The Daily Mail reports Brennan’s son, Kyle, has been arrested for the alleged possession of child sexual abuse materials. “FBI agents took Brennan, 40, into custody at his workplace in Herndon, Virginia, on Friday afternoon. A search warrant of his personal cell phone was executed by FBI last night, according to a law enforcement source,” the report said.

They were among the roughly 500 major league players who served in World War II. Player-manager Ruth’s team, called the “Yanklands,” was made up of former Yankee and Cleveland Indians players.
