France’s government is taking action against billionaire Elon Musk ‘s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok after it generated French-language posts that questioned the use of gas chambers at Auschwitz, officials said.

Grok, built by Musk’s company xAI and integrated into his social media platform X, wrote in a widely shared post in French that gas chambers at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp were designed for “disinfection with Zyklon B against typhus” rather than for mass murder — language long associated with Holocaust denial.

The Auschwitz Memorial highlighted the exchange on X, saying that the response distorted historical fact and violated the platform’s rules.

High-profile court cases have dominated headlines over the past months to such an extent that the political agenda has taken a back seat [in Spain], with politicians running to catch up with the numerous pending court rulings that will determine the country’s political future.

This week kicked off with the anticipated trial of former Catalan president Jordi Pujol, who governed Catalonia from 1980 to 2003. Following a ten-year investigation, Pujol, a historic figure in Catalonia’s right-wing nationalism, is accused of forming a “criminal organisation” with his seven children to launder millions of euros in bribes over the decades.

The historic trial began less than a week after the Supreme Court convicted Álvaro García Ortiz, the state attorney general that Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez appointed in 2022, for disclosing confidential information about a court case involving the partner of one of the premier’s main political rivals.

The trial attracted extensive media attention, as Sánchez and his ministers controversially defended García Ortiz’s innocence. Prosecutors interpreted the prime minister’s actions as an attempt to coerce the court.

Corruption investigations are not unusual in Spanish politics. Charges of irregular financing, bribery, and cronyism have loomed over the governments led by the ruling Socialist Party (PSOE), starting with the first democratic governments of socialist Felipe González, and the conservative Popular Party (PP) under the leadership of former prime ministers José María Aznar and Mariano Rajoy.

In fact, seven years ago, Sánchez led a no-confidence vote against Rajoy’s corruption-plagued administration, vowing to “cleanse the system” and tackle corruption in the country’s institutions.

However, back in Madrid, there is a general sense that corruption probes have never touched a serving prime minister and his inner circle so closely. Sánchez’s wife and brother both await trials in 2026 over alleged corruption.

In addition, the bombshell kickbacks-for-contracts scheme known as the “Koldo Case” has rocked Sánchez’s PSOE.

Former Sánchez allies and party organisational secretaries Santos Cerdán, José Luis Ábalos, and Ábalos’s personal aide, Koldo García, are under investigation for allegedly setting up a criminal network worth millions of euros to secure commissions on face mask contracts during the pandemic.

...

Similarly, socialist lawmakers have been embroiled in the “Mediador Case,” concerning the alleged manipulation of public works contracts in the Canary Islands, which involved EU funds.

However, beyond the courts, the fact remains that the Spanish government cannot legislate after Sánchez’s Catalan ally Junts broke with his party last month.

For the third year in a row, the government will forgo presenting a new general budget and instead extend the 2023 spending plan.

Major judicial and fiscal reforms are also blocked, the government cannot govern, and the question that remains is not how long, but how the prime minister will manage to stay afloat until the 2027 elections.

“What lies behind this,” said Petro, “is the same thing behind the war in Ukraine... petroleum,” noting the size and quality of Venezuela’s reserves. “In general, all of the wars of this century had to do with oil.”

If Trump were to get the upper hand, Petro suggested, the United States would get Venezuela’s oil “almost for free,” predicting that—“based on the evidence so far”—that the US will go to war over the resources.

Trump, said Petro, “is not thinking about the democratization of Venezuela, let alone the narco-trafficking,” adding that Venezuela is not considered a major drug producer or transit point for most narcotics headed to the United States.

Russia should “curb” the size of its army and military budget in order to ensure a lasting peace in Ukraine, said the EU’s top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, adding that Western leaders should not fall into the “trap” of discussing restrictions on Kyiv’s army during peace talks with Moscow.

Kallas’ comments come after US President Donald Trump ramped up pressure on Brussels and Kyiv over the past week to end the war on terms that many regard as favourable to Moscow – including by potentially limiting the size of Kyiv’s military.

...

The former Estonian prime minister added that current peace plans overwhelmingly seek “concessions” from Kyiv but not from Moscow, and warned that the Kremlin’s soaring military expenditure – expected to reach 7.2% of the country’s annual GDP this year – poses a “threat to us all”.

“We have always said that it’s a sovereign right for every country to decide the size of the military, and that’s why we shouldn’t walk into that trap that Russia is setting, talking about capping [the] Ukrainian army,” Kallas said. “I mean, Ukraine has never attacked Russia.”

Her latter remarks were echoed earlier on Wednesday morning by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

“As a sovereign nation, there can be no limitations on Ukraine’s armed forces that would leave the country vulnerable to future attacks,” von der Leyen told the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

[T]he Third World is not poor. You don't go to poor countries to make money. There are very few poor countries in this world. Most countries are rich.

[...] Only the people are poor, but there's billions to be made there, to be carved out, to be taken. There's been billions for four hundred years. The capitalist European and North American powers have carved it out and taken it.
