The New York Times gets 'AI in the newsroom' completely wrong - Halifax Examiner
The celebration of a non-defined "AI" serves as a promotional tool for a very select group of ultra-rich tech titans who are primarily shilling generative AI tools.

At a certain point you have to conclude that the Democrats agree with the Republicans that they are contemptible and illegitimate, and don’t deserve to govern.

Carney’s next book should be called “Value($): Building a better world for very rich people, burning it up for everyone else.” Or: “How I caved to the oil and gas industry, and did it with a smile on my face.”

Nah for over a decade psychologists have been pretty clear in their research that driving could not be better designed to cause road rage. It's a feature not a bug of our transportation system.

Of course wearing a poppy is a political statement. Just because something is common or mundane doesn't mean it's not political. It's also why I don't wear one anymore, and won't until Remembrance day is about why I was asked to go make sacrifices, instead of just blindly thanking me for doing so.
