In a video, Norton confirms the news and says: "I strongly suspect it is because I have been speaking up in my personal capacity about the harms I have been witnessing inside the NIH.
Putting me on admin leave was designed to scare and silence me. I will not stop speaking out," she says.

I guess I am hitting a nerve, because they just put me on admin leave.

We are invited to assume that the New York Times did not know what Epstein was telling Landon Thomas about Trump. I decline to extend that charity.
If Epstein wanted the NYT to write about it, he should have made it about a Democrat and gotten a white nationalist hacker to leak it to them.

Every element of this is comedic perfection.
Russia presented its human-like AI robot. It fell down as it walked onto the stage.

Not even the hurricanes want to come here.
Again and again, this year’s Atlantic hurricane season has featured storms that seemed to be heading straight to the United States, only to suddenly take a sharp turn toward the east, veering away from land and out to the open ocean.

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents.
But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

You now live in a country where if you support an idea like "Trans people should have equal legal rights" or "Black people suffer from the effects of discrimination," your government will openly persecute you, including by firing you if you work for it, and even looking for ways to prosecute you.

This will give me nightmares of install disk 28\29 failing.
Windows 95 hit stores 30 years ago today. 💿 Microsoft licensed a Rolling Stones song for its commercial, included Weezer and Edie Brickell music videos on its install CD, and commissioned Brian Eno to compose its start-up sound. ‘Friends’ stars also starred in a “cyber sitcom” about the OS.

What a crock of shit. In the context of an academic literature review, the chatbot routinely fabricates information and then when pressed on providing details it will admit to it by stating "that citation may have been a hypothetical or illustrative example rather than a real, published paper"
OpenAI releases the newest version of the AI model that powers its popular ChatGPT chatbot, with CEO Sam Altman promoting it as like having a “team of Ph.D. level experts in your pocket.”
