It can be a challenge to make an impression on the Met Gala’s red carpet, but André 3000 did just that when he arrived to the festivities wearing a grand piano strapped to his back. Here's what the miniature Steinway represented. nyti.ms/3SnIg25

I don’t refuse to use artificial intelligence, I just haven’t yet run out of real intelligence
Bizarrely framed article about the people (all women) who ‘refuse to use AI’. And a #philosophy professor who says “The moment to opt out of #AI has already passed”. Oh well. That’s that then. 🤷♂️ #AIEthics www.bbc.com/news/article...
The people refusing to use AI
Worried about the environment and the loss of skills, some people are resisting the rise of AI.
