Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.

Identifying flaws in GenAI unfortunately offers a pretext for claims that perfecting the product is just a matter of time & money. So pointing to chatbots’ role in,say, suicides can only go so far if we don’t also identify the systemic, irresolvable lack of Gen AI’s human commitment bc math has none

It came as Democrats flipped 2 Senate seats and 1 House seat.

Never mind his aunt, after Sept. 11th, Muslim cab drivers were terrified. Every yellow taxi instantly sported an American flag. Parts of Brooklyn emptied out. That's the issue.
