Russian trolls push fake videos with our name on them in order to sow chaos ahead of the election. Trump hates scrutiny, so he cries "FAKE NEWS" and bans the free press from his briefings. And AI companies steal our reporting in the pursuit of power and profit. We're ready to keep uncovering the truth that those in power don't want you to know. But we need your support to do that.

Animation shows traditional counter-drone technology vs. Epirus' Leonidas system that can take out entire swarms of drones at once. A new high-powered microwave system that can knock swarms of drones out of the sky at once is going to "touch every aspect of warfare," according to Epirus founder, Joe Lonsdale. "It's kind of like a Star Trek shield," Lonsdale, founder of Epirus and a co-founder of fast-rising defense technology company Palantir, explained of its Leonidas counter-drone system. "It's able to turn them off from very far away." "This is going to touch every aspect of warfare over the next decade," said Lonsdale.

Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale reacts on'The Will Cain Show' to President Trump's executive orders tackling AI infrastructure and DEI in the workforce. The ongoing battle against the "woke mind virus" is not yet "won" despite a flurry of executive orders from President Donald Trump and Big Tech's shift towards the new commander-in-chief, according to a prominent software company investor. During a Wednesday appearance on "The Will Cain Show," Joe Lonsdale, who co-founded companies like Palantir and OpenGov, said Trump's move to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence is a "key to unlocking productivity growth" in the United States. Trump unveiled a massive AI infrastructure project on the first full day of his second term. The joint venture between Softbank, OpenAI and Oracle will act as a substantial investment from the private sector in building data centers to power AI in the U.S. RACHEL MADDOW SLAMS PRESENCE OF TECH CEOS AT TRUMP'S INAUGURATION: 'HOW IS THIS HAPPENING IN AMERICA?' Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale told "The Will Cain" show that the fight against the "woke mind virus" is still ongoing despite President Donald Trump's efforts.

Inspired by Wired articles by Oren Etzioni and Joe Lonsdale titled "Deep Learning Isn't a Dangerous Magic Genie. It's Just Math" and "AI and Robots Will Take Our Jobs -- But Better Ones Will Emerge for Us," I wanted to share six quick -- and down-to-earth -- thoughts about artificial intelligence. In conclusion, the printing press, sewing machines, combustion engines, ATMs, and "gig economy" (ugh) all caused massive disruption that was eventually very good in the end. Machine learning will have a much bigger, broader impact, and it will take less time. It is inevitable, and it is already happening (though it's still early days). I give thanks to folks like Etzioni and Lonsdale who are encouraging healthy debates based on the real ground truth, brick by brick.

Today's workforce and automation of key functions is moving us toward an unprecedented level of innovation. One recent study from KPMG found that about three out of every four U.S. tech industry CEOs believe automation and machine learning are likely to replace at least 5 percent of their manufacturing, technology, sales, and marketing workforce by 2019. Yet the same study found that over half of the executives expect their organization's headcount to grow by at least 6 percent. While some big businesses might assume A.I. is their ticket to paying less in labor costs, if we go this route we're selling our workforces short. The human brain possesses something computers still don't: mindfulness.
