They Just Took Over AI

Everything just changed. New documents reveal a massive shift in who controls America’s AI systems – and the timing is no coincidence.

As power moves out of the states and into the hands of a few global tech elites, a 6G executive accidentally exposed the darker side of what’s coming next. This video breaks down exactly what happened, why it matters, and how these decisions could reshape surveillance, privacy, and the future of artificial intelligence in the United States and worldwide.

In this report, we dig into how political power, private companies, and next-generation networks are merging – and why industry insiders are calling this the most important tech moment of the decade. Here’s more from HustleBitch.

Right Down The Middle!

Warner Bros. Discovery is splitting in half (again) and the names of the two halves?

Are you sitting down? It’s Warner Bros. and Discovery.

Just like how HBO Max went to Max and then back to HBO Max, WBD decided they’d be better off as separate entities.

So why bother in the first place? Then we talk about Coyote vs. Acme and how they get digs in at the merger. Here’s more from Clownfish TV.

Who Owns Blackrock?

We all know that Larry Fink is CEO of Blackrock, but who actually owns the company? Veteran Internet researcher Ian Carroll does some digging and finds that Warren Buffett might be its largest owner. Buffett owns about 45 percent percent of the shares through his multinational conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway, based in Omaha, Nebraska.

Both Merrill Lynch and Bank of America are involved in this tangled mess, though mergers and acquisitions that Carroll outlines here. Bank of America traces it roots to the Bank of Italy, formed in San Francisco in 1904 by a banker, Amadeo Giannini, whose parents had emigrated to the United States from Italy during the Gold Rush.

One lingering question? Carroll does not find any Blackrock board members directly tied to Berkshire Hathaway. Why would a company own nearly half of another entity, and not maintain a visible presence on its board? Here’s more from Question Everything.
