WASHINGTON D.C. — The United States Women’s National Team fell 2-0 to Spain in Washington, D.C. in a fascinating friendly between the defending Olympic and World Cup champions.Twin first-half goals from Spain’s Patricia Guijarro and Eva Navarro put the match out of the USWNT’s reach before it really got going. An offside goal from Sophia Wilson and a saved penalty from Lily Yohannes kept the scoreline steady in the second half despite the USWNT’s clear improvement on the field. A late red card for Spain’s Athenea del Castillo wasn’t enough to turn the match in the USWNT’s favor. Here are…
In the spring, The Seattle Times published an op-ed piece by a couple of academics from the University of Washington warning that AI is creating an increasingly dumbed-down “monoculture” that threatens the very nature of human intelligence. (“AI is about to do all our thinking for us. Here’s why that’s bad,” May 17)I, for one, am not worried, and here’s why: I have found in Chat GPT a “Great Professional Teammate.”As with most powerful technologies, AI can be used to produce great evil or great good in the world depending on who uses it and to what purpose. I have…
In mid-September, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei joined a growing group of researchers calling for the AI industry to slow down. While some have questioned these researchers’ motivation for voicing concerns about the rapid pace of development, the plea highlighted a key tension between safety and speed. The underlying problem is not simply a technical error, but a sociotechnical failure: Pressure to move quickly has made it hard for engineers to fully assess and manage new risks of increasingly powerful AI systems. It is a clear warning that responsible engineering requires more than technical expertise; engineers must also understand workplace pressures,…

Actor Adam Driver may have just taken a shot at Disney while at the London premiere of James Gray’s “Paper Tiger.” The film, which might earn him a third Oscar nomination, made a strong debut at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. While speaking to reporters on the red carpet, the actor, who previously played Kylo Ren/Ben Solo in the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy, said that he felt more comfortable on smaller sets where he didn’t have to worry about “moviemaking by committee.” The ’Star Wars’ Sequel Trilogy Was Criticized For Its Lack Of Clear Vision 3Xavier Collin/Image Press…
A ZOMBIE PATHOGEN?As far-fetched as the appearance of a zombie pathogen might sound, consider that thawing Siberian permafrost after a hot, dry summer led to a 2016 anthrax outbreak that killed a 12-year-old boy and more than 2,300 reindeer.In 2023, scientists from France, Germany and Russia published a paper warning that the health risks of melting permafrost are very real and warrant further study. But with most of the world’s permafrost located in Russia, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has complicated research partnerships and information sharing.And as the lack of detail surrounding the suspected plague death demonstrates, it’s not at all…

The Red River Rivalry lived up to the hype on Saturday as Oklahoma knocked off No. 1 Texas, 27-24, thanks to a walk-off 47-yard field goal from Tate Sandell as time expired. While Sandell will get the glory for making the kick, and while there were a couple of huge throws from John Mateer to Isaiah Sategna to set up the field goal, the biggest story from the fourth quarter is going to be the absolute crunch-time meltdown from Texas quarterback Arch Manning.Arch Manning’s fourth-quarter meltdown was big difference for Texas, OklahomaManning did some good things on Saturday, throwing three touchdowns…
