“We were surprised to learn that when developers stop coding and use AI that overall they get slower at solving problems”.

Why is this so counter intuitive to most people?

Because most people deeply misunderstand intellectual work.

Hey, look, yet another campus settling this peacefully.

It's almost like the university presidents that called in armed police to their campuses to handle their own students made an incredibly stupid mistake and should be forever banned from leading an educational institution.

Sure, AI is being used to scam people and cheat at school, but on the bright side, armies can also use it for murder

We are calling bullshit. Any scientist in any field still in any way supporting the Israeli regime has lost all scientific credibility.

Bohemian Waxwing on a branch with a Sparrow below near his tail. An open wing of another Sparrow is behind him

Bohemian Waxwing looking down at a Sparrow near his tail feathers

The Sparrow has the Waxwings tail feathers in her beak… the Waxwing is yelling

Mother Nature’s April Fool’s moment…the Bohemian Waxwing unintentionally tricked the Sparrows into thinking his yellow tail tips were tasty snacks…oh the indignity 😱🤣🪶

Galicia, NW Spain. *All* over Europe, mountains retain their natural cloak of trees.

By contrast, in Ireland they're shaved bare by too many grazing animals, especially sheep.

As a society, the choice is ours: to remain bereft of nature, or to allow it return through rewilding.
