Someday, a child will find a red hat buried in a box in the attic and ask,

Imagine owning a fleet of cars you can’t afford to maintain. Tires are bald. Brakes need replacing. Half the check-engine lights are on. Your solution? Buy more cars. That’s essentially the argument for building more roads in our national forests.

Opinion | Trump wants more roads in the forests. Here’s the catch.
The roadless rule has flaws. Repealing it entirely could create new ones.

The level of inequality we are about to witness because of Al can only be compared to the early industrial revolution when, just like today, new technologies were so ruthless, unsupervised and unregulated that those who owned them became filthy rich, and those who operated them died on the job from work accidents, no insurance, and abject poverty. Today as Al data centres turn real rivers into a trickle, the slow-moving desert creek of trickledown economics that used to sustain an otherwise finished post-colonialist West now sizzles in the heat before it can even leave its source. Hundreds of millions of jobs are being replaced by ChatGPT, an app that has sucked up all the knowledge of working people through the ages and spits it out supposedly for free, but at the financial benefit of corporations who save millions on new hires, yet still want to us to pay full price for their new Al-mediated services - services that are now performed by ChatGPT based on stolen, human knowledge. Do you get me? This is the biggest daylight heist of all time. We've been robbed.

Texans shouldn’t have to wonder who’s watching every time they get behind the wheel. Flock cameras are spreading across our state, collecting information on millions of vehicles, whether the driver is suspected of a crime or not.
