Stephen Schwarzman, chairman, chief executive and co-founder of Blackstone which has about $500 billion in assets, said the donation would fund the Schwarzman Center that would support programs ranging from history to music.“For nearly 1,000 years, the study of the humanities at Oxford has been core to Western civilization and scholarship. We need to ensure that its insights and principles can be adapted to today’s dynamic world,” Schwarzman said in a statement.

Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, said in the statement: “If AI is to benefit humanity we must understand its moral and ethical implications. Oxford with its rich history in humanities and philosophy is ideally placed to do this.”

Y’all are mad for a guy feeding 150 million into a Marxist echo chamber? 😂

Interesting article. And jarring final sentence.

Nice of him. He probably pays less in taxes than I do.

The rich get richer, the elite get more elite. Amazing what passes for 'charity' these days...

Gelt for guilt

Yeah they need it

The $ scammed from Wall Street & financial markets 😒

Cancer patient says UCLA gynecologist sexually assaulted her, faults university inactionA cancer patient says Dr. James Heaps sexually assaulted her during her two years of treatment. She has sued him and UCLA. Rapewagoning. That should be a new term, because it's an honest depiction of how eager vindictive women are to turn a profit. I believe most of the primary accusations are true but the rest are retrofitted bullshit. I was a patient for over 20 years. He was a fantastic doctor. Something seems off about these cases, and just don’t make sense. I was his patient and saw him frequently up until his retirement. He treated me with dignity and I trusted him completely (and would again!) There was always a nurse present for every exam. He was warm & friendly and completely focused on my health.
