Democrats have embraced a surprising “America First!” approach on climate

As the name suggests, global warming is a global issue that effectively requires every country to act to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Any ton of carbon dioxide produced anywhere adds to warming globally, while any ton reduced anywhere has the same effect in reverse.

Yuval Noah Harari on whether democracy and AI can coexist

If the internet age has anything like an ideology, it’s that more information and more data and more openness will create a better and more truthful world. That sounds right, doesn’t it?

Or the difference between Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel? Is she familiar with Wanda Maximoff and how she became Scarlet Witch? Did she watch […] Read more ›

How Kodak invented the “snapshot”

In 1888, Eastman Kodak patented roll film and released the Kodak No. 1 box camera. The company’s business model — selling film, then processing and printing the photos taken on that film for their consumers — made photography available to the masses for the first time. Before then, photography was a complicated process requiring knowledge of […] Read more ›

What it means that new AIs can “reason”

An underappreciated fact about large language models (LLMs) is that they produce “live” answers to prompts. You prompt them and they start talking in response, and they talk until they’re done. The result is like asking a person a question and getting a monologue back in which they improv their answer sentence by sentence. This […] Read more ›
