More than half of tariff income refunded after supreme court ruled Trump’s levies were illegal Business live – latest updates The Trump administration has refunded about $100bn from the tariffs it collected before the US supreme court ruled them illegal, according to reports.

A major €8.2 billion investment plan would enable the airport to welcome nearly 18 million more passengers per year. The program has drawn opposition from some airlines.
Faced with a barrage of ads, misinformation, AI slop, toxicity and doom-scrolling, it can feel like the internet is kind of… broken. Is it? And what are the alternatives?
At the end of July, nearly 50,000 migrants from Morocco entered the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. Rather than a migration crisis, this should be seen as a failure of the pact set up by Morocco’s elites, argues economist Jamal Bouoiyour.
As Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and their peers have grown richer and more influential, Gil Durán argues they have all but abandoned democracy – and found the perfect government to enable them In April, Gil Durán was permanently banned from Elon Musk’s X for posting just two words. Durán was responding to a post from the tech company Palantir outlining its 22‑point “technological manifesto”, which praised American “hard power”, western culture and AI weapons, denounced inclusivity and called for compulsory national service. Durán responded: “TLDR: Fascism” (TLDR is short for “too long, didn’t read”).

We need an enlightened US president to make the case for global AI regulation. Donald Trump is the exact opposite of what is needed When I am woken by the sound of my dog whining, I understand that she is hungry and wants me to get up. When my alarm clock goes off, I don’t consider its needs. It is following an instruction to rouse me at a certain time but it doesn’t care if I stay in bed. It doesn’t try to get me up by other means. The dog, on the other hand, will go to plan B. She barks. This capacity for autonomous action was once a difference between animals and machines. AI has blurred the line. Advanced models devise their own strategies to reach a goal. The task might be defined by a human master, but the machine weighs its options for delivery. It can make its own choices. Given rules, it can break them. Continue reading…
