Americans want AI to stay out of their personal lives

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-09-20 06:00:28

A new study from Pew suggests that Americans aren’t particularly optimistic about AI. A full 50 percent of respondents said they were more concerned than excited about the use of AI in their daily lives. That’s down ever so slightly from 52 percent in 2023, but it’s up significantly from 37 percent in 2021. Americans expressed a number of concerns about AI, chief among them that it will negatively impact our ability to think creatively and form meaningful relationships with other people. Just 1

Americans Want More Control Over the AI in Their Lives, Pew Survey Finds

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-20 22:00:05

Artificial intelligence is everywhere now, powering song recommendations on Spotify, filling inboxes with AI-written emails, and showing up in classrooms and workplaces around the world. You may not feel like you get much say in where and how AI shows up in your life. You're not the only one. That's the takeaway from a Pew Research Center report published Wednesday, which finds that six out of 10 Americans (61%) want more control over how AI is used in their lives. More than half (57%) say they

Oh Dear, ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-10-21 22:30:55

At San Diego Comic-Con 2024, Paramount teased our very first look at Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ third season with a clip that proved to be rather baffling. A contextless gag that saw Pike, Chapel, La’an, and Uhura seemingly permanently transformed into Vulcans, the clip immediately sparked discussion about the Vulcan crew’s sudden racially prejudiced treatment of Spock as, well, the extra half-Vulcan among them.

Reverse Engineering All the Raspberry Pis

Image by Getty / Futurism As the world was emerging from the turmoil of COVID in 2023, insurers noticed an alarming trend: Americans were dying at a significantly higher rate compared to other countries. Anyone familiar with the way the US handled the viral outbreak — especially compared to similar countries — might not be surprised. But while the pandemic certainly contributed to a spike in deaths, expectations of a return to pre-pandemic mortality rates were smashed as number crunchers notic

What Worries Americans About AI? Politics, Jobs and Friends

Americans have a lot of worries about artificial intelligence. Like job losses and energy use. Even more so: political chaos. All of that is a lot to blame on one new technology that was an afterthought to most people just a few years ago. Generative AI, in the few years since ChatGPT burst onto the scene, has become so ubiquitous in our lives that people have strong opinions about what it means and what it can do.

Josh Hawley Wants to Send Out Rebate Checks So Americans Can ‘Benefit’ From Trump’s Tariffs

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-12-19 04:05:54

President Trump’s tariffs have generated around 20 billion dollars in revenue for the U.S. government, although it’s worth noting that a vast majority of this wealth has been derived from import duties on American businesses. In other words, Americans are paying the federal government (many critics have noted that tariffs are just taxes by another name) for the pleasure of doing business with foreign exporters. For the fiscally confused, the New York Times recently wrote an explainer on tariffs

Electric Cooler vs. Ice Cooler: I Camped With Anker's Solix EverFrost 2 and an RTIC Ice Box to See Which Is Better

Keeping drinks and food cold while camping can be a challenge, especially in the summer. Though a portable power station hooked up to a minifridge can help, it's not the most power-efficient option compared with either an electric cooler or a traditional icebox. I set out to test a "regular" icebox-style cooler -- specifically, RTIC's icebox -- against Anker's new Solix EverFrost 2 to see how it would fare in real-world use against the best coolers on the market.

How often is the query plan optimal?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-30 05:19:27

The basic promise of a query optimizer is that it picks the “optimal” query plan. But there’s a catch - the plan selection relies on cost estimates, calculated from selectivity estimates and cost of basic resources (I/O, CPU, …). So the question is, how often do we actually pick the “fastest” plan? And the truth is we actually make mistakes quite often. Consider the following chart, with durations of a simple SELECT query with a range condition. The condition is varied to match different fracti

Identities of More Than 80 Americans Stolen for North Korean IT Worker Scams

For years, the North Korean government has found a burgeoning source of sanctions-evading revenue by tasking its citizens with secretly applying for remote tech jobs in the West. A newly revealed takedown operation by American law enforcement makes clear just how much of the infrastructure used to pull off those schemes has been based in the United States—and just how many Americans' identities were stolen by the North Korean impersonators to carry them out.
