If you’re an employee of CBS and show up to work tomorrow we can assume you’re cool with this.

This is WILD.
Power goes out in San Francisco and the robot cars, needing the lights to "self" drive, all stop at once, blocking streets and emergency vehicles - which are needed more than ever in a black out!
We knew AI causes power outages. Turns out it also makes them worse by being stupid.

Waymo has halted service in San Francisco after numerous videos & images showed its autonomous cars snarling traffic during the blackout.
With traffic lights down, Waymos across the city stopped dead in their tracks at intersections.

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the best fox, the San Joaquin kit fox. Endangered throughout its range, this canid lives in very hot places and keeps cool using its ears as radiators to dump heat.

Ironic is when they call athletes and artists to “stay in their lane” when they say something political, but then they go on taking about medical issues they know nothing about.
JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."
