“AI Therapist”: That’s a new job title in the AI world. Kyle Fish’s gig at an AI company (paywall link) is to make sure the AI systems are treated ethically as they evolve so they can be more likely to achieve consciousness. I’ve always said being polite to your bot generates better answers.
The drones hovering over New Jersey fly lower than commercial planes, a few thousand feet up, and produce a slight electric hum. Most are two to three feet long, but some are the size of an SUV.
The internet is bursting with conspiracy theories. Are they military tech? Foreign surveillance? Something not of this world?
Have you seen this video of a nervous Amazon driver having a conversation with a dog? It’s freakin’ adorable.

For automaker Tesla, with 5.6 deadly crashes for every 1 billion miles logged in its 2018 to 2022 models.

Connecting New York City and London. There’s no telling how long the Transatlantic Tunnel would take to build. A 23.5-mile tunnel linking England and France took six years. NYC and London are 3,000 miles apart. For the record, I’d totally ride it.
The interest rate on a $1.6 million loan to MyPillow. Owner Mike Lindell and his company have filed a lawsuit against the lender, Cobalt Funding Solutions, claiming they were taken advantage of because MyPillow’s business was cash-strapped. I bet he feels smothered.
How much time you’re shaving off your life every time you drink a Coke. Throw in a hot dog, and scientists say you’re knocking off another 36 minutes.
Planted by an Indiana couple 10 years ago. Bruce and Shawn Carpenter’s Christmas tree farm is helping fund college for their eight grandchildren. About 1,000 trees are ready for sale. I wish I lived close enough to go get one!
