It's almost as though they aren't ashamed of their actions nor are they worried about history judging them.

On why Trump's determination that the U.S. is engaged in an armed conflict with drug cartels is (i) wrong; and (ii) insufficient, in any event, to make legal the strikes against vessels in the Caribbean.

Look, I'm not completely anti AI. I think it can have some great uses as a tool - like AI that can detect breast cancer in intial stages that's recently been developed.....
But, we need to be intentional about how and where we use it because of the environmental impact it has.
