Regulate AI before it's too late | J.J. Branch

Regulate AI before it's too late | J.J. Branch

    It reads like a science-fiction movie, except it’s completely real, and we’re living it.

    Don't ban AI out of unfounded fear | Gregory S. McNeal

      Federal regulators, responding to Energy Secretary Chris Wright's request, recently ordered grid operators to connect big power users faster, so the country can feed the data centers that artificial intelligence runs on.

      If our time is characterized by dishonesty, what can we do about it? — Richard Kyte

      • Richard Kyte Columnist

      A new book argues that honesty may be society’s most treasured virtue, yet restoring trust requires individuals to practice reliability, respect and sincerity daily.

          Much like the rest of President Donald Trump’s war with Iran, the latest outbreak of hostilities has produced nothing but death, destruction and disorder. The current flow of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz makes the Schuylkill Expressway look fast, Tehran retains its capacity to terror…

          Don’t curtail access to weight-loss drugs | Shria Bucha

            Last November, a patient of mine — 19 years old and established in our primary care clinic in Massachusetts — came in for her annual physical. She’d done everything we’d asked for her chronic obesity. She’d traded the bus for a mile-long walk to school, every day, both ways.

              Political platform statements are weird documents as a rule. They seek to appease pet constituencies and embrace a lot of ideas that most candidates would prefer mainstream voters either ignore or, better yet, never know about.

                    When both U.S. parties paint the other as a threat to the country’s future, both are ignoring one of the gravest threats of all: student achievement levels that are abysmally low.

                      Those of us of a certain age remember the grainy security videos on Sept. 11, 2001, when bored and inattentive private screeners let murderers and hijackers through checkpoints. That led Congress to create the federal Transportation Security Administration with widespread support from Americ…

                      The world gets richer | Las Vegas Review-Journal

                        Polls show that many Americans today — particularly younger ones — have a less-than-favorable view of free-market capitalism. A recent Gallup survey found that just 54% of respondents had a positive opinion of the economic system.

Now, social media makes it quick and easy for us to purchase just about anything with the click of a button, whether or not it’s in the budget. And for some Americans, it’s hurting them...

                            LETTER: Pay attention to the socialists' agenda

                            During the 1917-1922 Russian Revolution, Lenin promised peasants peace, land, and bread — that became central to the Bolshevik/communist political/war campaign. None of this happened — millions starved/murdered. Peasants, like the “dummies” I referred to in a previous letter, were duped. If they didn’t like it, Lenin said: “We'll ask the man, where do you stand on the question of the revolution? Are you for it or against it? If he's against it, we'll stand him up against a wall.” While Democratic Socialists of America have not yet gotten to the wall treatment, here’s their evolving platform:

                            LETTER: President Trump is right: Protect the integrity of our elections

                            President Trump was right when he recently sounded the alarm about serious holes in the integrity of our elections. In New Jersey, it was found that over 6,000 non-citizens we're on that state's voter rolls, despite being ineligible. Almost 400 cast ballots! Yet the "experts" constantly tell us that these people can't vote. While not all immigrants are in the country illegally, all who are are non-citizens. Any on that voter roll should be deported.
