“Trump’s second-term approval rating fell to 36% in December, which is among the lowest ever recorded by the company.”

how many industries include the disclaimer “can make mistakes” as a part of the usage experience? can you imagine your electrical socket randomly not working or your phone dialing wrong numbers every so often?

& yet we’re just expected to accept AI products no matter their flaws
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

Since trans athletes were first eligible to compete
at the Olympics over 7,500 medals have been awarded over 12 Olympic Games.
In that time trans women athletes haven't won a single Olympic Medal of any colour not even a solitary team or relay bronze.

Using a wife beater and convicted rapist to sell weird MAHA dietary theories is so on brand for this administration.
You might remember the superbowl MAHA ad featuring Mike Tyson. Go to the page, which clearly labeled as a US government website, and you are encouraged to use Grok.

As gold prices soar, some Yukon miners call territory's low royalty rate 'a bit ridiculous' | CBC News
In 2025, Yukon placer miners collected more than $449 million in gold revenue, while the Yukon government collected less than 1 per cent of that — or just over $33,300 — in gold royalties.
