The combination of tariffs and inflation will save me a lot of money because fewer things will be affordable — that’s great for the environment (bad for our economy).

Big corporations and Big Pharma run the government so is this what they wanted?: Unpredictable variable sky high tariffs to boost their sales, and strict immigration controls so that labour costs rise. All that money spent on lobbying over the years has bought little influence.

All these trade tariffs are great for the planet. People will buy less, which conserves resources, reduces carbon footprints, and less pollution. It's a massive blow against consumerism. Unsustainable, unfortunately, I doubt Trump will want to be known as the Green President.

Ridiculous. The poll should ask those surveyed if they've ever listened to Joe Rogan. Original experiences are vital in this age of untrusted information over received impressions from others, “55% Of Women Say That Listening To Joe Rogan Is A Red Flag”

Pitchfork pitched into GQ magazine at Conde Nast. -- the media industry continues to struggle -- there is no stable business model to support quality journalism. Hugely important problem for our society.

My favorite feature of Artificial Intelligence systems is their "hallucinations" -- creating outright fake facts. I hope this mysterious feature continues unchanged -- we should never trust AI systems 100% -- human intelligence and critical reasoning is a vital layer.

The progress of General Artificial Intelligence is really about the distillation of whatever is human that remains. my concern is that there might not be much there that's unique or worth much.

Interesting news out of California — the state looks to pass a new bill that would require VC firms to report the diversity of the founders they fund in an effort to track where and to whom vc dollars are going. The bill's off for Newsom to sign.

I’m very happy that the universe loves me so much as to organize a stunning collection of my favorite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti at The Tate Britain. Thank you!

The copy editors were the first to be cut as revenues plunged for newspapers and magazines … a crucial mistake that significantly affected quality and accuracy. Artificial Intelligence and its hallucinations won’t make things better, imho.

No, babblers. The mechanism of job replacement isn't necessarily a machine directly substituted for a human. Chat GDP may not directly replace a single copy editor, but as a tool used by some editors who can now cover more pages, it will reduce the total number of copy editors.

Teenagers don't drive because Mom is their Uber driver! Plus it's better that teenagers don't drive -- often they can't get insurance until 25.

Teenagers not wanting to get their driver’s licenses. It’s apparently common & happening across the country. I got my license the day I was eligible. It meant I had the freedom to go where I wanted. Why are today’s teenagers less enthusiastic?. Smartphones?.
