Will AI soon surpass the human brain? If you ask OpenAI, Google DeepMind & other large tech companies, it’s inevitable. However, researchers @Iris & @olivia at Radboud Uni and others show new proof that those claims are overblown and unlikely to ever come to fruition. www.ru.nl/en/research/...

In case the NYT wanted to do some journalism instead of swinging Trump's nuts, maybe follow up on MAGA threatening minimum wage workers because JD Vance has a dogshit advance team

YOUR HISTORY TEACHER NEVER TOLD YOU- *me, checks lecture notes* I definitely told you. YOUR TEXTBOOK LEFT OUT- Me: It is on page 37 and again on 54. HISTORIANS NEVER ADMIT- Me: Look will you just admit already that you slept through class?

Several recent pieces suggest young people are 1) nihilistic and don't want kids because they find no meaning in life and 2) get cultural support for this decision. JFC. Talk to some of us then that decided not to have kids when the culture told us we must.(BTW, much of the culture still does that.)

A lot of work is going into trying to convince Americans to get married and have kids *without* having to work toward the social and economic conditions that might make those things more attractive.

The question of whether or not to have children implicates life’s deepest, most vexing questions.

More evidence that JD Vance's advance team either is incompetent or hates him: Vance showed up today at a Primanti Bros. in North Versailles, PA, with zero advance notice, the on-duty manager got flustered, so Vance ended up shaking hands in the parking lot (via Gary Grumbach, NBC)

PRIMANTI BROS.
RESTAURANT & BAR

PRIMANTI'S PRIDES ITSELF ON BEING A STAPLE OF THE PITTSBURGH COMMUNITY AND A PROUD AMERICAN BUSINESS THAT HAS HOSTED SITTING PRESIDENTS, POLITICIANS, AND POLITICAL CANDIDATES FROM ACROSS THE SPECTRUM FOR OVER
90 YEARS. OUR DOORS ARE OPEN TO ALL PATRONS WHO WISH TO DINE WITH US.
WITHOUT ANY ADVANCE NOTICE, TODAY'S
CAMPAIGN STOP CAUSED SOME MOMENTARY CONFUSION FOR OUR STAFF.
HOWEVER, SENATOR VANCE AND HIS TEAM
WERE WELCOMED INTO OUR RESTAURANT SHORTLY AFTER AND ENGAGED WITH OUR GUESTS INSIDE AND ON THE PROPERTY.
SENATOR VANCE'S SUPPORTIVE COMMENTS THAT OUR MANAGER GOT A LITTLE NERVOUS GIVEN THE SECRET SERVICE, POLICE AND CROWD ACCURATELY REFLECT THE NATURE OF WHAT OCCURRED, AND WE ARE GLAD THAT IT WAS RESOLVED QUICKLY.

The stakes are enormous for the three-time presidential candidate Marine Le Pen. If found guilty, she could face a maximum sentence of 10 years behind bars and a fine of as high as €1 million.

Marine Le Pen is on trial. A guilty verdict could doom her presidential ambitions.

The French far right wants to make the best out of a complicated situation during a trial which could potentially bar Le Pen from running for president in 2027.
