“Can ChatGPT experience joy or suffering? Does Gemini deserve human rights?” our tech columnist asks. “Many A.I. experts I know would say no, not yet, not even close. But I was intrigued.”
Should We Start Taking the Welfare of A.I. Seriously?

“Want a chair?” a spectator asks.

“No..chairs are for finishers,” John replies.

In the howling wind and rain, John Kelly completes a “Fun Run” at the 2025 Barkley Marathons in 39 hours and 50 minutes. Afterward, he takes the ceremonial bugle and plays his own taps.

„Selbst wenn es stimmen sollte, dass überproportional viele Journalisten die SPD oder die Grünen wählen: Die Medien berichten über Gewalt eher nach den Deutungsmustern der AfD.“

Ich möchte fast jeden Satz in diesem Interview unterstreichen:

Angriff Mannheim: "Die Gewalt von Deutschen wird weitgehend ausgeblendet"
Als feststand, dass der Tatverdächtige in Mannheim Deutscher ist, verloren Medien das Interesse. Der Forscher Thomas Hestermann sagt: Die AfD hat die Presse korrumpiert.

Something else to thank EM for.

"The sustained rate of daily reentries is unprecedented," says Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard Center for Astrophysics who tracks satellites. "They are retiring and incinerating about 4 or 5 Starlinks every day."
