The Debate About Chinese Open-Source AI; Ellison’s Bad Day

How protectionist is the Trump administration? Sure, President Donald Trump loves tariffs. But does he really want to drive up AI costs for U.S. business by banning Chinese open-source AI? Chatter about that is growing in the wake of a story we published on Saturday, which revealed that the administration had discussed the idea of banning open source last year. Axios, meanwhile, reported on Monday that last week’s release of...

Adults with no close friends are not necessarily incapable of intimacy — attachment research suggests some have learned to manage its risks by limiting disclosure, dependence and closeness, keeping people distant enough that rejection feels less dangerous

An adult can be personable, attentive and capable of affection while still having nobody they would call a close friend. That absence is often read as evidence of poor social skills or a lack of interest in other people. Sometimes it may be. In other cases, the more useful question is not whether the person ...

Plant-based food sales have flatlined after years of double-digit growth, and grocery data suggests the drop-off is coming from vegans themselves, not skeptics

US plant-based food sales fell 2% in 2024 after years of double-digit growth, and the shoppers walking away aren't skeptics — they're the committed vegans who built the category. Cognitive dissonance, ingredient labels, and a purity war inside the movement help explain why. Read more
