“That the human race is improving; that we have things to be proud of as humans. No, ancient astronauts did not build the pyramids — human beings built them, because they’re clever and they work hard. And Star Trek is about those things.”

Cool article, but it’s a little misleading. There’s a vast difference between stone age food processing and the nightmare meals produced in an industrial setting.

Interesting article! They’ve figured out the mechanism of how a sunburn can lead to skin cancer and that points to how that might be prevented. Good read.

Interesting article, but I think it makes Big Tech/AI look a little desperate—and I'm not sure that's accurate. The California restrictions seem fairly meager, and I doubt they'll actually hurt the industry's bottom line much.
