A survey found that two-thirds of employees say AI saved them zero to two hours a week, while it saved their bosses eight hours. What gives? https://www.platformer.news/ai-productivity-paradox-metr-pwc-workday/
One possibility is that the executives here have fallen into the same trap that the open-source developers did. They are answering all their emails with Gemini; they are creating slides with ChatGPT; they have five Claude Code agents running on six different monitors tackling different projects they came up with over the weekend. And while these tools are outputting a massive amount of … something, the business itself is not making any more money.

The US has apparently stopped bombing "drug boats". What is the deal behind that? How much are they paying Trump now?

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.
Screenshot from STAT article that says "What we're going to have is a real-world experience of when unvaccinated people get measles," he said. "What is the new incidence of hospitalization? What's the incidence of death?"

Conservative Women,

Just a friendly reminder, if you have your own bank account, went to a university, vote, enjoy equal pay, or have a loan without a male signer, it was because a progressive woman fought for that right often in the face of hatred from other women.

Most news coverage of the endlessly cryptocurrency "industry" -- and its endlessly corrupt enablers in finance and politics -- is wretched.

#trump is on one of his middle-of-the-night social media posting screeds.

Predictably the posts are bizarre, inappropriate, unprofessional & full of weird AI created images.

Weird AI image depicts Trump, JD Vance & Marco Rubio planting the US flag on Greenland territory. Another bizarre fake AI created image depicts Trump supposedly holding court in the White House Oval Office with the leaders of Europe seemingly hanging on his every word. On display is a map showing Greenland, Canada, Venezuela & the US colored in with the US flag. Close up of the map showing Greenland, Canada, Venezuela & the US colored in with the US flag. Trump posts a screenshot of a message purportedly from President Macron of France. Trump posts the following text with the screenshot, “Note from President Emmanuel Macron, of France.” The body of Macron’s message reads, “My friend, We are totally in line on Syria We can do great things on Iran I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland Let us try to build great things: 1) i can set up a g7 meeting after Davos in Paris on thursday afternoon. I can invite the ukrainians, the danish, the syrians and the russians in the margins 2) let us have a dinner together in Paris together on thursday before you go back to the us. Emmanuel”
