One thing I see liberal outlets giving ground on that I feel the need to correct: it’s impossible to “dox” a paid public official

There’s a lot of talk about physical AI at #CES and how transformational it will be. We’re beginning to see it at scale in defence, hospitality, healthcare because there is a growing business case, and the technology is now ready. But a vital gap remains: people’s attitudes towards physical AI.

The online gambling industry has exploded in popularity since the pandemic.
