Absolutely not the point of the piece, but did people forget Google Translate exists? Seems like such an odd thing to outsource to AI www.thebanner.com/culture/food...
Caffè Futuro’s robot cost over $80,000 before shipping costs, and getting it up and running turned out to be a challenge. For one thing, the machine couldn’t fit through the door of the building on South Broadway, requiring the exterior of the property to be partly demolished and rebuilt. Then members of the installation team ran into issues getting their visas to travel to the United States. Today, if she needs to troubleshoot, Yah Yisrael relies on ChatGPT to translate her communications with the machine’s owners into Chinese.

How do we tell 'im? www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...
Mr. Trump has not backed stricter AI regulations, instead favoring voluntary safety reviews. He has frequently warned that a nationwide AI slowdown could dent the country's economy and give China's tech industry a chance to catch up.

The president told reporters Tuesday that AI will lead to "unbelievable growth for our country," and if bad actors seek to exploit it, "we're going to be able to nab them." He also said tech companies have an incentive to police themselves and each other because "their companies are at stake."

Bar chart shows the % of global fossil fuel emissions occurring in a lifetime with bars of different length for ages from 5 to 100 years. More emissions happen over a longer lifetime. During the life of an 85 year old, 90% of all  emissions happened. For someone age of 30 the rate is already 50%
