AI: Overusing artificial intelligence can give workers “AI brain fry,” study finds.. “The study found a striking paradox: AI can both reduce burnout and create it. When workers had to constantly supervise multiple AI systems or juggle several tools at once, mental strain increased sharply. By contrast, when workers used AI to actually offload repetitive tasks, their stress levels dropped.”

#JOURNALISM:

CDR SALAMANDER ON THE DRAGON’S DECLINE: “For over a century, there was one jewel in the special relationship between the United States of America and her mother country, Great Britain. That jewel was the Royal Navy.” “We need to stop pretending we have a Royal Navy we knew in our youth or even that of two decades ago. No, we have something altogether different. Something shrunken. Something weaker. Something that is, in the end, really sad. A symptom of a nation who has lost an enthusiasm for herself or even an understanding of her national interest and led by a ruling class that seems uninterested in stewardship.”

It’s bad for nations to be ruled by a ruling class that fundamentally hates them.

UPDATE: Ouch:

But:

Perhaps the French have been bringing the troops home to defend France from its internal African population.

PAYBACK: Trump Denies Biden’s Executive Privilege Request. Here’s Why it’s Biden’s Own Fault.

Biden himself set the precedent for this.

Only a sitting president can assert executive privilege, and in 2021, Biden denied Trump’s request to assert executive privilege over White House documents, thus allowing the partisan J6 Committee to use them for their bogus investigation. Trump sued to stop the disclosure, arguing that the committee had no legitimate need for many of the documents, which he said were unrelated to the Capitol riot.

Then, in May 2022, Acting National Archivist Debra Steidel Wall informed Trump’s attorneys that the Biden White House Counsel’s Office had formally requested NARA grant the FBI access to 15 boxes of Trump documents at Mar-a-Lago. According to Just the News reporter John Solomon, the same letter indicated Biden had authorized NARA to waive any executive privilege claims Trump might raise to block DOJ access. In other words, the former president who is now asserting expansive privilege protections is the same one who, while in office, helped engineer the unraveling of Trump’s privilege claims to fuel a bogus criminal investigation.

These documents are likely to fuel a non-bogus criminal investigation.

THIS SEEMS RIGHT. JUST ANOTHER LEFTIST NOBODY THE PRESS IS TRYING TO TURN INTO A SOMEBODY FOR POLITICAL REASONS.
