Washington's biggest question this week: Why is President Donald Trump so furiously against an AI slowdown in the wake of apocalyptic warnings from some top industry executives?
The clue is in one word — "hoax" — that he's using to ridicule fears that computerized agents could one day seek to destroy humanity.
When Trump reaches for the H-word, two things are usually happening: He's facing a controversy threatening his political or personal priorities, and he's lost control of the politics.
Trump has long dismissed climate change as a "hoax." So it was a tell that he went on social media to specifically draw an ******* ogy between a planet that is warming despite his denials and the calls for AI controls expressed by leaders in the industry.
By changing reality, Trump frees himself from an obligation to act. In energy policy, that means "drill, baby, drill." His administration has slashed regulation, pleasing oil industry donors. His rants against wind farms suggest he hankers for a 20th-century economy running on carbon.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A Texas court on Friday slashed a $50 million judgment that conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was ordered to pay families of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre over his false claims that one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history was a hoax.
The Infowars founder can only be forced to pay about $6 million, the Texas Third Court of Appeals ruled in a unanimous opinion, citing state laws that limit lawsuit damages.
The ruling does not affect a separate $1.25 billion judgment against Jones in Connecticut, where he was also found liable for defaming and causing emotional distress to relatives of the 20 first-graders and six educators killed in the Newtown shooting.
The punishing financial verdicts against Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems, in recent years have forced him into bankruptcy, led to some of his personal property being put up for auction and led to him leaving his Infowars platform. For decades, he used the platform to push conspiracy theories about the United Nations, the federal government, gun control and more.
Sandy Hook families have yet to collect any money from Jones, who has waged lengthy appeals in state and bankruptcy courts as his company faces liquidation. He remains on air after moving onto new websites and streaming platforms.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A Texas court on Friday slashed a $50 million judgment to about $6 million against Infowars founder Alex Jones after he falsely claimed the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school mass shooting was a hoax.
The ruling does not affect a $1.25 billion judgment against Jones in Connecticut, but is a legal victory for him after he and his company, Free Speech Systems, were found liable for damages for claiming the mass shooting didn't happen.
Despite the multiple financial judgments against him in Connecticut and Texas, Jones has yet to make any payments as he appeals the amounts and the attempt to liquidate his company.
The unanimous opinion by the Texas Third Court of Appeals left intact more than $4.1 million in compensatory damages awarded by a jury to Sandy Hook parents Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis for defamation and emotional distress.
But the court slashed more than $45 million in additional punitive damages down to $1.5 million to comply with the state's $750,000 cap for each plaintiff.

In the first year of his second term, President Donald Trump made a special effort to deny the impacts of climate change. In a September 2025 United Nations speech, he called carbon footprints a “hoax” and criticized climate policies, jabbing, “Windmills are pathetic.” The White House defunded renewable energy subsidies, dismissing them as a waste of government funding.
But the administration launched a probe this month into Brazil’s deforestation as part of Trump’s implementation of new tariffs, which entail investigations into countries’ trade practices.
Brazil is home to about 60% of the Amazon rain forest, which absorbs carbon dioxide that would otherwise enter the atmosphere and contribute to global warming. Legal deforestation—mostly as a result of cattle ranching and agricultural expansion—has cost the country about 3.7 million acres per year.
To be sure, Trump hasn’t changed his mind about climate change, though his sudden concern over deforestation is still ironic.
Instead, the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) announced a wave of new tariffs on dozens of major U.S. trading partners under Section 301 of the 1974 Trade Act, alleging they failed to enforce bans on imports made with forced labor.

In less than 24 hours’ time, the polls will open for the first Real Madrid presidential election in 20 years. Florentino Perez and Enrique Riquelme will go head-to-head for the top job at the Bernabeu, and ahead of the voting opening, the former spoke on Saturday at his closing campaign ceremony.
Perez has been very vocal in the media this week in his criticism of Riquelme, and he did not stop on Saturday. As per Marca, he accused of rival of misleading Real Madrid members regarding promises made over the last few days.
“Real Madrid members will not allow lies, not everything goes. There are those who have no scruples and use the Real Madrid shirt to embarrass the members. We have had to endure the embarrassment of a hoax being launched on a television show to deceive the member, and that minutes later the player’s father, the player’s representative and the player himself, who was from Manchester City, flatly deny it and threaten to file legal action. This is something that surely does not cause any blush, but all the members of Real Madrid and me in particular are very embarrassed. And that ridicule seems to have no end.”

Perez also slammed Riquelme over his plans to go for Jurgen Klopp as the manager he would target if elected as president. He also accused his rival of changing targets during the election process as a deliberate ploy to mislead those that will vote on Sunday.

Fact Check: 'MRI Disaster' Video Does NOT Show Real Accident Caused By MRI Magnetic Fields -- It Is One Of Dozens Of AI Hoaxes Gaining Social Media Clout

Does a viral clip really show an oxygen tank and a patient on a gurney being sucked from a hallway straight into the bore of an MRI machine? No, that's not true: It's clearly labelled as having been created by Sora, the OpenAI-owned text-to-video tool. The video includes multiple glaring departures from reality: A marked exit door would not lead immediately into the danger zone at the mouth of an MRI, let alone leading into an MRI suite. T
