futurism.com Joe Wilkins 2025-09-27 22:30:00

At the core of contemporary China is a contradiction: it’s the world’s most prominent Communist-ruled country, yet it’s found steadily increasing affluence in recent decades by embracing a degree of entrepreneurship and market competition that would make Ronald Reagan drool in envy. In some cases, all that capitalism can lead to situations in the People’s Republic that sound like a bit like unintentional parody.

Donald Trump has issued his latest challenge to test corporate America’s fealty to his administration. On Friday, the President decided to wade into the personnel decision of Microsoft and called for the company to fire its President of Global Affairs, Lisa Monaco, over her previous work under the Obama and Biden administrations—a warning shot fired apparently at the advice of far-right activist Laura Loomer.

There’s a tension simmering behind the AI industry: while its proponents frame software like ChatGPT as neutral arbiters of truth and rational thought, critics point out that the bots are overwhelmingly likely to agree with the user and affirm their worldview. In practice, that can be dangerous. When people share paranoid or delusional beliefs with ChatGPT, the bot often agrees with the unbalanced thoughts, sending users into severe mental health crises that have led to involuntary commitment a

“How did we get here?” That existential question about the universe has captivated humankind for centuries. Many scientists have attempted to answer it, including the Rev. Georges Lemaître, a Belgian cosmologist and Catholic priest. In 1927 he theorized that the universe was created from a single particle he called the “primeval atom.” That atom later disintegrated in an explosion, LeMaître figured, creating space, time, and an ever-expanding universe, according to the American Museum of Natur
