“good news, we’ve created the playroom that tells kids whatever they want to hear and makes them not care about their parents from the seminal Ray Bradbury short story, Don’t Create the Playroom That Tells Kids Whatever They Want to Hear and Makes Them Not Care About Their Parents”

‘My son genuinely believed it was real’: Parents are letting little kids play with AI. Are they wrong?
Some believe AI can spark their child’s imagination through personalized stories and generative images. Scientists are wary of its affect on creativity

If tonight is the last time we ever see this incarnation of NBA Countdown, I think we should appreciate that this version of it really was the single worst studio show of all time. I don't believe four people on television have ever had less chemistry with each other than this.
