Okay I cheated and asked Chat GPT to balance it. Elemental Nitrogen is N2, not N4. That’s why this equation is both incorrect and well on its way to funkytown. And I don’t mean rhythm.
According to AI, the balanced equation would look like this:
2 N₂ + O₂ → 2 N₂O

What are we losing by offloading our thinking to A.I.?
Why Even Try if You Have A.I.?
As A.I. grows more powerful, we may be more and more tempted to give up in advance and let it figure out things for us. What will we lose as a result?

Like many Never Trumpers and other people with a public profile, I have been on the receiving end of death threats for years just for speaking my mind.
No one in America should risk being killed for exercising their right to speak, no matter how despicable you think their views might be.

This afternoon in TIME MAGAZINE, @mariannecooper.bsky.social and I discuss why 300,000 Black women leaving the workforce is bad for the economy, bad for society, and bad for you.
In the piece, we argue that Black women are the canaries in the coalmine and why ignoring #TheDoubleTax harms us all.

No. This is about profiling people by skin color and language.
