On Thursday, Trump wrote on Truth Social that Tuesday’s debate with Vice Presidential Kamala Harris would be his second and last of the election cycle. Trump debated President Joe Biden in June, but Biden of course ended his reelection bid three weeks later. “THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” the ex-president declared.

- OpenAI’s Big ResetAfter weeks of speculation about a new and more powerful AI product in the works, OpenAI today announced its first “reasoning model.” The program, known as o1, may in many respects be OpenAI’s most powerful AI offering yet, with problem-solving capacities that resemble those of a human mind more than any software before. Or, at least, that’s how the company is selling it.As with most OpenAI research and product announcements, o1 is, for now, somewhat of a tease. The start-up claims that the model is far better at complex tasks but released very few details about the model’s training. And o1 is currently available only as a limited preview to paid ChatGPT users and select programmers. All that the general public has to go off of is a grand pronouncement: OpenAI believes it has figured out how to build software so powerful that it will soon think “similarly to PhD… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- ‘All Sorts of Very Weird Statements’: Wolf Blitzer Cuts Away From Trump Rally After He Insults D...CNN’s Wolf Blitzer had very little patience when airing Donald Trump’s remarks at a rally in Tucson, Arizona on Thursday. Blitzer eventually cut out of Trump’s speech and said the former president was making “all sorts of very weird statements” before going to his panel to discuss the news of the day. Ahead of Blitzer’s cut-in, Trump ripped into ABC News anchor and Tuesday night’s debate moderator David Muir: She went over to ABC, which in my opinion, has taken a big hit because these two people were bad news. They kept screaming at me. I said, Why are you screaming? I’m saying to myself. I’m looking. I always liked him. I’m not going to watch him anymore. I’m not going to watch him because he’s not legit. What he did, I’m not going to watch him. And his hair’s not as good as it used to be,… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago

The two rivals debated on Tuesday in what Trump said on Thursday will be the last debate. During the event, Harris hit the former president on a host of subjects, including remarks he made after the infamous 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. A group of White supremacists touting tiki torches protested the removal of a statue of Confederate traitor Robert E. Lee. They chanted slogans such as “Jews will not replace us!” A counter-protestor was killed when a White supremacist gunned his car into a group of people. “Let’s remember Charlottesville, where there was a mob of people carrying tiki torches spewing antisemitic hate,” Harris said. “And what did the president then at the time say? ‘There were fine people on each side.’” Trump gave ambiguous remarks at the time.… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
