    They're not that dumb.

    • Trump says a 25% tariff "must be paid by Apple" on iPhones not made in the US, says he told Tim Cook long ago that iPhones sold in the US must be made in the US

  • Essays and projects were of marginal educational value in grade school and won't be missed. They were always just a cop out for lazy teachers.

    Until the 1990s, 100% of the university grade was based on examinations, so AI would have been irrelevant, that was watered down to save costs.

    • Is red meat bad for health? Meta-study of 44 studies finds results depend on the sponsor. If the sponsor is impartial, studies find it's bad. Studies sponsored by the meat industry find the opposite

  • Four image actions are currently being tested in the latest Dev Channel builds of Windows 11, including Bing visual search to find similar images on the web, the blur background and erase objects features found in the Photos app, and the remove background option in Paint.

    Only one of those things could be called AI.
