And every New Year’s Eve, at the stroke of midnight, it’s time to celebrate RUN FOR COVER… …unless you want to ring in the new year with a gunshot wound. Some say “Happy New Year” with a Champagne toast. Others celebrate by shooting automatic weapons into…

By Tom Ruwitch

Yesterday’s email included a quiz to see if you could tell the difference between posts written by an AI robot and a human. At the very bottom of the email, I wrote: “How’d you do on the test? Reply to this email to let me know (and to share your thoughts about robots and such).” Lots of…
