Make it so.
The AI bubble.
I think the article is damaged by the cheap shot at student loan financing, which is iniquitous in a way the other examples are not. 'it is what they signed up for' is a response I would expect to hear in the bar at the Cheltenham on Sea Conservative Association, not in the pages of The Economist.
'Cambridge researchers found AI tools could misread some children's emotions'
Really?
I have stopped being startled by the amount of natural stupidity induced (better: revealed) by 'artificial intelligence'.

Any sufficiently advanced file-drawer is indistinguishable from p-hacking
Guiness is the (old) Boeing or Daimler of brewers. They take the time to get it right and they have the skill to do so. This, after all, is the company that gave 'student' a job.
100% agree.
Robert Habeck tried that here in Germany in the last Federal elections. He lost. Decisively.
If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice
Well, yes, I agree. But I would be interested to know what specifically prompted you to post that?
(a) this is not a 'doozy', and (b) whoever is responsible for this sort of thing at the NYT should never have allowed a question like this to appear in an agony aunt column.
Just recycled Herbert Marcuse

The Atlantic. Don't ever change.
This war is wrong because it is immoral, not because it is illegal. Aggression is illegal because it is immoral, and thus it is its immorality that should be the driving impetus behind enforcing its illegality.
That's one way of putting it.
A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
Thanks for reminding me. I have a tub of braised lamb shoulder left over from earlier this week, now sitting in the freezer. Will be perfect basis for this at the weekend.
As I said, watching the world burn:

This is a gross libel of free jazz (and I mean that quite sincerely).
It was a successful ad (for YouTube, at least). I clicked through the sanitary towel that came before it as soon as I could (not being young, female and into yoga), but I stayed for whole 150 second pitch for the Sling David system.
I don't think I'm untypical.
I clicked through to that Tina Turner video and YouTube (I kid you not) fed me an ad for a Raytheon wide area surface-to-air missile defence system. Seems the market for that sort of thing has recently grown bigger. Wonder why.
Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force.
Danish Defense Minister: Continue.
