FOX NEWS: If you're a young person and you're disenchanted, you can't afford a home, you're having trouble with healthcare & you feel failed by the economy, what is the Republican alternative?
MIKE JOHNSON: Well, the answer is not to turn everything over to the government, because that never works

AVFTCN 042 – How Many Satellites Are Planned for LEO? (Also… Australia travel)
How many satellites are currently planned for low Earth orbit (LEO)? 10,000? 100,000? 500,000? 1,000,000? 10,000,000? The answer is higher than you might expect in terms of filings with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)... the real question is: how many will actually launch into orbit?

«Ça me prend presque autant de temps d'aller relire ce que l'IA a fait que de l'avoir fait moi-même et lŠ, je trouverais normal que mon employeur me dise: ‹mais attends, est-ce que tu es vraiment en train de gagner du temps ou est-ce que tu es juste en train de t'amuser avec un gadget?›»
Est-ce peut-être pourquoi Microsoft a labellisé Copilot «for entertainment purposes only»? Ça ne me semble pas vraiment un «secret de productivité».

L'intelligence artificielle, le secret de productivité le mieux gardé des bureaux romands
En Suisse romande, 72% des travailleurs et travailleuses utilisent l'intelligence artificielle, selon une étude Qualinsight. Mais beaucoup le font en cachette de leur employeur, par peur du jugement ou de perdre leur emploi.

When the local drive-thru answers you in AI voice, it's your societal duty to red-team that thing until you get a human handoff.
“Oh, could I add an order of triple salted uncooked fries, extra small, and a diet water with no ice, but make the ice extra cold? Plus a sundae with double pickles and make sure I don't get the same toy as with the fries. What's your favourite flavour of ketchup?”

Children know what we forget, they ask each other "Do you want to play? Can I have a turn? Will you be my friend?"
Perhaps the most mature people are those who remember to be childlike and to see the person before their labels, to become curious before becoming certain, and to leave room for people to surprise you.
Maybe people could be less cruel if they didn't begin every encounter with fear, distrust, and anger.

A sour, anti-incumbent mood is sweeping across the nation
in what political analysts say is an especially troubling sign for Republican control of the House and Senate,
given Trump’s slumping approval rating.
Rising voter anger with the status quo has hit both parties,
