Without disregarding that there are real executive/cognitive challenge tasks, both this and the OP's example are functions of the US health care system deliberately offloading that work onto patients/payers in the interest of profit

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

It really doesn't make sense to attribute those job losses to AI-the-technology, because if that were the case we'd be observing AI outputs displacing conventional entertainment products, and they're clearly not. Rather, the impact of AI is that AI-the-business is crowding out other investment.

One of America’s great wildlife recoveries is coming undone. Across the Chesapeake this year, Bryan Watts and his colleagues at William & Mary’s Center for Conservation Biology recorded the worst osprey breeding season they have ever documented.

This is a weirdly defensive take! I do listen to some country and I still had never even heard of this song, much less heard the song, until the headlines about it breaking this record. I'm sure it's really popular! Maybe it's really good! I don't know. I simply never encountered it, and that's OK.

While obviously believing that it is essentially a war crime to supply Israel with these kinds of munitions at this time, I also need to call out the headline here because I do not think you should be allowed to refer to it as a "sale" when the U.S. taxpayer, not Israel, will be footing the bill.
