The New York Times on Monday published a blockbuster report detailing how US President Donald Trump’s administration gave the United Arab Emirates access to high-powered artificial intelligence chips just days after receiving a massive investment in Trump’s cryptocurrency startup.

As the Times report documented, Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) ruling family, had one of his investment firms deposit $2 billion into World Liberty Financial, the startup founded by members of the Trump family and the family of Trump Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff.

Just two weeks later, wrote the Times, “the White House agreed to allow the UAE access to hundreds of thousands of the world’s most advanced and scarce computer chips, a crucial tool in the high-stakes race to dominate artificial intelligence,” despite national security concerns about these chips being shared with China.

It's a safe bet knowing enough human world history from the first civilizations to be built in dank river valleys to present day to say no gods ever interacted with us while we're alive anyways. If they exist at all. Or that it/they could be aware in the first place of some temporary peach fuzz growing on a doomed tiny rock ball.

I'm on team Pointless Math Bubble expansion Big Bang among countless other universes instead of singularity Big Bang myself. Not that it matters. It's just one of the 27+ Big Bang theories. I just like Time kinda existing beforehand in a higher plane.
