Anyone know why my prompt to fetch ingredient prices works perfectly in Perplexity, but not in my food app? Perplexity shows stores and prices as expected, but my app’s results look nothing like it (see screenshots). Any ideas? #kirohackathon#kirohackathon #AIdev #AI

A National Park Service web page about the Underground Railroad appeared to have been restored on Monday to prominently show the abolitionist leader Harriet Tubman, after it had been changed in recent months to remove a large photo and quotes from her.

In today's @chicagotribune.com I wrote about how federal policy on diversity, as well as university surrender, is based on lies, misperceptions, and distortions all aimed at resegregating higher education.

I'm testing out OpenAI 4o image tool. It is quite impressive. Here are some samples. I had it create an infographic of the Harlem Renaissance. Then I had it turn a photo of me with TV On The Radio into an anime.
