3/3 Credit bureaus are in the business of reporting adverse financial information. It is not their job to verify accurate voter information. Weโre all for thinking outside the box to find solutions, but not at the expense of transparency and accuracy. \END

Obviously, weโre huge fans of agentic AI models, so we were quite pleased to discover the new AI Agent Standards Initiative from @NIST and look forward to learning more about the initiative.
The future of AI is agentic, and America is leading the way to make it secure and interoperable.
A new AI Agent Standards Initiative is launching this week @NIST to drive industry-led standards and open protocols that build trust and advance innovation. nist.gov/news-events/news/20โฆ

Jobs' response changed Silicon Valley forever..

Worth a read, regardless of how you feel about the election; facts and reality must always guide inquiries. Our @ElectionBabe was pleased to contribute some of those facts to the article.

NEW:
I spoke to elections experts, voting systems companies and swing state officials about the conspiracy theory that Elon Musk used Starlink to rig the vote.
They all told me the machines that tabulate votes are not connected to the internet at all.

And we'll offer one step further -- something we emphasize here all the time:
"TRUST is what proprietary technology DEMANDS. BELIEF is what transparent technology DELIVERS."
