AI is helping to decode animalsโ€™ speech. Will it also let us talk with them? The complexity of vocal communication in some primates, whales and birds might approach that of human language.

There is increasing interest in using AI tools not only to listen in on animal speech, but also to potentially talk back

Wedding photo of Jeff Bezos and his new wife

My hot take on Jeff Bezos' wedding: That $50 million price tag is double what the US government was spending annually on food and medicine for 5 million AIDS orphans before the Trump administration canceled it.

We are literally letting orphans die rather than make this guy pay taxes.
