We may be making a huge mistake by assuming AI “thinks” like humans simply because it can talk like us. One psychologist says the better approach may be to study AI the same way we study dogs: by focusing on behavior without pretending we fully understand the mind behind it.

Attack ads have become so absurd that some of them feel more like political parody than serious campaigns. Instead of telling voters what candidates actually stand for, election season has turned into an endless race to see who can make the other side look worse.

A Pennsylvania township rejected a massive data center project even after residents were offered $10,000 per household—and now the developer is suing. The bigger question is whether that check is worth it if nearby homeowners lose far more in property value, face higher utility costs, or get stuck with a house that’s harder to sell.

Americans are now more likely to place a weekly bet than to have read a book in the past year, and that says something troubling about where our attention is going. Sometimes the answer is simple: pluck the bad habits out, replace them with something better, and take back control of your time.

Despite inflation, higher rates, rising credit card balances, and massive federal debt, American consumers are still spending—and older households are helping keep the economy moving. The bigger question is how long that resilience can last as borrowing costs stay high and more of that “growth” comes from higher prices rather than more buying.
