We will say that line about someone else, have a good chuckle, and then DO THE SAME THING OURSELVES! This time, it's not that funny, is it? I know. I've done it myself.

A reader commented on the photo here as follows: I wish he (Trump) could die.

I don't.

Sure, he richly deserves punishment, but I care far more about the fate of this country than I do about the justice that is due to one person, albeit a walking force for pure evil.

The Trump phenomenon needs to be thoroughly repudiated. This nation's people need to understand that racism, lies, greed, selfishness, criminality, cruelty, and revenge are not valid ways of behaving–for anyone–and certainly the President of the United States.

Is this about to happen? There's no way to ...

Apple brass discussed disclosing 128-million iPhone hack, then decided not to

In September 2015, Apple managers had a dilemma on their hands: should, or should they not, notify 128 million iPhone users of what remains the worst mass iOS compromise on record? Ultimately, all evidence shows, they chose to keep quiet.

The mass hack first came to light when researchers uncovered 40 malicious App Store apps, a number that mushroomed to 4,000 as more researchers poked around. The apps contained code that made iPhones and iPads part of a botnet that stole potentially sensitive user information.

California condors are one of the most endangered bird species in the United States. They're considered "Critically Endangered," which is one step away from them being extinct in the wild. They have an incredibly small range that covers small sections of California, Arizona, and Utah, and there are only around 500 of the birds still alive, both in the wild and in captivity. There are so few of the condors left that you'd be hard-pressed to find even a single one of them, but one woman in Tehachapi, California managed to find over a dozen, and she didn't even ...

This weekend Venus takes center stage, squaring Jupiter Saturday morning EDT/early afternoon GMT, and moving from Taurus into Gemini later on Saturday. Venus is well known for her guise as goddess of love and beauty, but she also has deeper meanings. She is associated with our values, including our self-esteem and how deeply we value our own selves, and therefore is important for increasing abundance which is directly tied to self-worth (both are associated with the astrological second house).

The square from Venus to Jupiter on Saturday can suggest too much of a good thing: ...

It began as an AI-fueled dungeon game. Then it got much darker

In December 2019, Utah startup Latitude launched a pioneering online game called AI Dungeon that demonstrated a new form of human-machine collaboration. The company used text-generation technology from artificial intelligence company OpenAI to create a choose-your-own adventure game inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. When a player typed out the action or dialog they wanted their character to perform, algorithms would craft the next phase of their personalized, unpredictable adventure.

Last summer, OpenAI gave Latitude early access to a more powerful, commercial version of its technology. In marketing materials, OpenAI touted AI Dungeonas ...
