An AI threat looms, and we are not prepared | Juhyun Nam

    The leaders of the world’s leading artificial intelligence (AI) companies — OpenAI, Google Deepmind, Anthropic — signed a letter in 2023 warning of the existential risks emerging from AI. It included this declaration:

        It is among the most familiar patterns of the Trump era. First, the president says or does something weird, rude or otherwise norm-defying. Some elected Republicans object, and the response from Trump and his minions is to shoot the messenger. The dynamic holds constant whether it's big (Jan…

        News flash: Bernie Sanders is not a New Yorker | Froma Harrop

          Yes, he talks like a Brooklyn tough guy, but U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders is a resident of Vermont, America's most rural and most white state. That he fled New York City nearly 60 years ago seems lost on current Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his fellow socialists. Then again, Mamdani hasn't been arou…

          Court rulings against Trump prove our democracy still works | Boston Herald

            It must have been a confounding day for No Kings protesters. Their placards at rallies held around the country decry President Donald Trump’s “authoritarian regime” and the “fascism” under which Americans now live.

                Gasoline prices have increased more than $1 a gallon during the last month, as President Donald Trump’s war with Iran continues. As a result, many consumer staples that rely on diesel-fueled trucks to reach store shelves are more costly. Food prices are climbing, in part due to a logjam of global fertilizer supply -- nearly a third of which depends on the Strait of Hormuz for transit to farmers worldwide.

                  As the use of artificial intelligence accelerates, several state legislatures and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders are calling for a pause on the development of AI data centers. They worry about lost jobs for working people and the potential dangers of superintelligence.

                      Gas and diesel prices have soared since the start of the Iran war. But the situation could get worse later this year because of ethanol requirements and problems with fertilizer supply chains.
