“One notable MIT study found that 95 percent of companies that integrated AI saw zero meaningful growth in revenue. For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, another study showed that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”
AI Completely Failing to Boost Productivity, Says Top Analyst
AI may or may not excel at a lot of things, but from an economic standpoint, it's definitely not making us more productive.

Scott Jennings comment is classic sexist BS. His entire existence rides on the privilege of his white maleness. She took him right down. 🔥I imagine MAGA men out there think she was out of *her place. Fucking tired of this crap. We women will continue to choose the bear. What a douche!

You can't "support ... self-determination and the mutual recognition of nation states; ... the outlawing of war and coercion; and ... the primacy of law, civil rights and democratic accountability" without a fundamental change of policy towards Israel. Does Gordon Brown support that?
As Trump menaces Greenland, this much is clear: the free world needs a new plan – and inspired leadership | Gordon Brown
The idea that the liberal rules-based order can survive his presidency now seems complacent. This is a historic moment – and a time to act, says former UK prime minister Gordon Brown

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

Hey friends, I’m alive.
But the night hit hard.
It was a massive attack -
Shaheds, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles.
All night long.
I wanted so badly to sleep.
Every time I almost drifted off, another explosion.
Too loud. Too close. Too real.

fwiw i think his obsession with the nobel prize is entirely about obama getting it (setting aside whether or not obama ought to have received it)
"Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize."

"Abolish ICE" is the moderate position. "Try everyone involved in ICE for crimes against humanity" is the progressive one.
