Midnight. A light flickers on in the darkness. Coils of smoke hang in the projector's glow. The movie is about to begin, and the theater waits in breathless silence.

They asked a Google AI for Ed engineer “how he planned to enact his vision of the future, one where AI filled classrooms rather than emptied them. ‘The professors themselves,’ he said, would be responsible for figuring that out.”

"If [Grace] Pinson's legal tenacity makes her unusual, the harm she has suffered in federal prison does not. Life in prison is relentlessly dangerous, and for transgender people especially so. ... Not only are they at risk for extortion and assault, they are particularly vulnerable to sexual abuse."
Over years and hundreds of handwritten pages of filings, Grace Pinson jumped over legal hurdles, all the way to trial. Fewer than 1% of federal prisoner civil rights claims reach that stage without an attorney, a luxury almost no one in prison can afford.

Warming seas, driven by climate change, are strengthening storms like the ones that ravaged Alaska Native communities along the state’s western coast in October.

We need regulation on unlicensed therapy bots like yesterday.
I had a 45 year old rideshare driver tell me recently that he uses AI for therapy.
I asked him which one. He said “Grok— I like the voice it uses, the tone doesn’t talk down to me like ChatGPT’s does.”
He bragged that he had a 4 hour “therapy session” talking to Grok.
Chat, are we cooked?
