  1. A #Pew #Research Centre survey reveals growing concern among #Americans about the increased use of #artificialintelligence #AI in daily life. This concern is particularly pronounced among young adults, with 55% expressing more worry than excitement about AI. Additionally, 71% of adults believe AI will lead to fewer jobs in the US over the next two decades, a sentiment that has increased across most age groups. pewresearch.org/short-reads/20 #tech #news #ainews

  2. #MissKittyRaw The #GOP has lost the respect of the world not just #Americans. There is nobody that takes them as anything other than garbage even if they won't say it to their face. They have made America a complete mockery. There is nothing they won't desecrate. The GOP is filth.

  3. The End of #Reading Is Here
    #Americans, once members of a proudly #literate society, read much less than they used to. According to the National Endowment for the Arts, which conducts the most comprehensive survey of the nation’s reading habits, fewer than half of all adults reported having read a #book of any kind in 2022. Only 38% read a novel or short story.
    #Americans who read for pleasure on any given day fell from 28% in 2004 to 16% in 2023.

  5. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/a-n. "Trump clearly prefers a nightmarish, #totalitarian #dictatorship... to a vibrant, successful #democracy. A democracy, by the way, that more than 36,000 #Americans gave their lives to defend during the #Korean #War. #America has a #President who hates everything our nation was supposed to stand for."

  6. As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adoured by a downright moron.
    -- H. L. Mencken (On Politics)

  7. RE: mastodon.social/@arstechnica/1

    In all of #NASA’s and #China’s plans for long-term settlement on the #Moon, relatively few square miles at the South Pole of the Moon matter the most.

    As soon as this Sunday, a #LongMarch5 rocket will launch from a coastal seaport in China, carrying the #ChangE7 lunar exploration mission.

    This will likely serve as a wake-up call ⏰ to those not paying attention to the #US-China space race - which, to be clear, is the vast majority of #Americans.

  8. I remember...
    years ago listening to
    'absolutely fascinated'
    the speech that President #Obama gave (I believe in Cairo, Egypt, to university students)
    I remember his words fascinated me,
    and I reflexively envied the #Americans, who had produced such a Leader.
    Today I (accidentally) listen to #Trump's babbling illiterate rants and think...
    Thank God I am NOT an American.

  9. Dear #Americans:
    We are aware that the vast majority of You are decent people
    the resentment the World has towards You is given by your... laxity,
    Having consented (out of laziness or stupidity)
    that a #Trump / #MAGAs controlled your Nation.
    DO NOT make the mistake of
    'Forgive and Forget'
    (usual in your Society due to laziness).
    NECESSARY a demonstration that
    'Americans' have Ethics and Morals'
    whoever has done harm and damage MUST pay the consequences.

    If you want to be 'Welcome' again.
