This is unethical. To subject poor people to view disturbing content just so that AI can classify it correctly. We are scarring people's brains permanently.

'The EU runs on Microsoft' – and Uncle Sam could turn it off, claims MEP. Theoretically true, but very unlikely to happen. It would be suicidal for Microsoft to do it.

Yes, it's true. Male brains differential from female brains in the womb in a detectable and measurable way.

An oral PCSK9 Inhibitor, enlicitide promises to reduce dependency on statins. We have the injection form, but that's not as convenient as a pill. 
But then the Lancet published a meta-analysis which found that all the weird off-target side-effects of statins, such as cognitive impairment, depression, sleep disturbance, and peripheral neuropathy, were not substantiated. So all's good, then?

Well that's not good‘Starlink killer’: China’s 20 GW microwave weapon could fry satellites with 60-second bursts. This could lead to another arms race, which would be catastrophic. Not to mention the Kessler syndrome effect, which would set space travel back for decades at least.

California universities are spending $17 million to provide ChatGPT for students. That's such a poor way to spend money. It doesn't make them smarter and just sets them up for privacy violations, maybe legal trouble, maybe psychosis, maybe other trouble. Because it likely won't come with a course on how to use it. Better if they got access to a creative suite like Poe.com.

And up in Washington state, it appears that billionaire Nick Hanauer, who was in favor of the tax, actually doesn't domicile in the state of Washington, so the tax wouldn't apply to him. Dick move, Nick.

TSMC is going to build new 3 nm chip factories in Japan, which would help both parties. Good for Japan, but why not the U.S.?

Don't you hate when that happens? You invest in expensive solar panels, and the company disappears. Prolectric LLC took people's money and then vanished. Solar needs subsidies, or else it doesn't pencil out.

Scientists Identify Key Protein That Could Reverse Brain Aging. Nice. Let's develop it. Put it to use.

Fat chanceTina Kotek wants Trump to stop enforcing immigration law.  Why? Because illegal aliens are scared. She wants a state governed by the rule of feelings, instead of rule of law. "No one is above the law" is something only conservatives must follow.

Lloyd Center will vanish into Portland's memory hole. Like a lot of other things, the city can't support nice things. So it'll be torn down. And I strongly doubt it will look like the picture in the article. Add several tents and graffiti on the walls. And there will be no open cafés. Windows will be boarded up. Also lots of trash and people bent over. And everyone will be wearing backpacks.
