We don't mint new human rights lightly. But we should add one now: the right to access capable, safe AI. Around the world, language is the gateway to opportunity; AI is a universal language machine that translates, tutors, summarizes, designs, and reasons across barriers of literacy, disability, and geography.

Prices rebounded just as quickly, but for many traders, the damage was done. A friend of mine who trades these markets said that people in his trading group lost vast sums of money during the fiasco, particularly because of a combination of leverage and stop-losses.
