When there’s less sea ice, animals that depend on it for survival must adapt or perish — so too are the other species that depend on them.
Less polar ice ➔ less reflected heat ➔ more intense heatwaves worldwide ➜ rising sea levels.

Not sure whose fault it is primarily that most people don't seem to know that the president is basically a manager whose job is to carry out the will of Congress, and not The Country's Boss
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.

CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot.
Unions know better.

Always append "exclude AI" or "before:2023” to searches. Or both.
Google developer #1: "That's it. Our search engine is simple, efficient, and reliable. It's perfect. We're done."
Google developer #2, presumably: "But wouldn't it be *more* perfect if the first search result was always a robot who mansplained your search results to you incorrectly?"

Not to be that person, but I don't think we get out of this that easily. The activity in DC last night was probably more about drawing up lands to attack Mexico or someone else then anything about Trump's health.

Same. I'm having to fight down my lifelong urge to have the latest shiniest tech, but smartphones in general are just and held anger machines and I don't want AI in anything unless I am literally choosing to use it.
I'm absolutely convinced any startups or tech initiatives promising to never implement or use gAI in their products will make so much money and overtake the market
literally I need a new phone and new tablet (or laptop) and I'm holding off buying anything because it comes with AI

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

Customs detained an American college student for hours last night at Dulles airport as he was returning from his study abroad. His devices were confiscated and he was questioned about his loyalty.
If you plan to enter the US, even as an American citizen, assume you will be questioned also.

I've been working with an LLM on a research project, and it's a lot like having an undergrad research assistant. Super helpful but I need to be very clear about instructions, and think through all the steps inherent in the task. Which is making me better at working with new employees too.
