Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.
Learning with AI falls short compared to old-fashioned web search
Doing the mental work of connecting the dots across multiple web queries appears to help people understand the material better compared to an AI summary.

This is apparently the first footage of the Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside the Trump hotel in Las Vegas today. A huge detonation.
It looks like fireworks are ignited from the inside the Cybertruck.

Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

Say it with us—a library loan is not a lost sale! 📚
Library purchases are purchases. They pay the press. The press counts them towards advances and royalties. And (gasp) the book is in a library!! It’s wonderful and no one should ever feel bad about getting a book through a library instead of buying it.
I got it from my local library system, which has 28 physical copies (more than half are checked out) and 4 audiobooks. The branch library is two blocks from my house so I get most of my books from there. Hope this helps because I loved the book - I'm not a historian and knew nothing of that period.

I like trying to track down authors of Trump Ghost written posts. Two phrases in here are rather unique and obviously not Trump
* "Please be guided", something I've only heard in South Africa
* Magnanimous gesture, a phrase that rarely appears on social media except...

So to clarify, the pediatric cancer research funding bill in the Senate that Republicans said never passed because of Schumer was actually held up by Rand Paul the entire time. Yet another lie.

The year-end is not always cheerful for everyone. Even if you are the co-creator of Superman.
Happy holidays.

As debates rage over the UHC CEO incident, it is always worth it to take a moment and think about how capitalism has always been a disguised genocide of the working class.
