The Machines Are Learning - Unfortunately, From Us (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oh man. This was going to be clever. I had a plan.I would dig through an old box and find a couple of college papers. Something from the prehistoric age. Before ChatGPT. Last Millennium stuff. Then I would run them through an AI detector. The machine would accuse 21-year-old me of being a machine.Case closed.I found two papers from 1992. Both A’s, mind you. I scanned them. I uploaded them.One came back 100 percent human. The other came back 98 percent human. Apparently I was 2 percent artificial
Prince Vance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
JD Vance wants to be president. Hardly breaking news.Last Thursday in Dallas, at the Republican Midterm Convention, the crowd even gave him the number. They chanted “48.”The question is how he gets there.Vance has a problem. He has changed positions. He has changed friends. He once compared Donald Trump to heroin.

Companies everywhere bowed their heads and joined the play for smooth.It worked. Goodness me, did it work. In time, online shopping went from “I wonder if I need this?” to a package
Tall Ship Tales (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My first American memory is the Hudson crowded with sails. It actually isn’t, but that’s not the story.It was 1976. America was turning two hundred, and somebody had the splendid idea to fill the NYC harbor with tall ships and float them past the rest of us. I stood on a balcony overlooking the river, a small boy newly off the airplane from England. I’m on the left. My brother and parents are beside me. You can almost see the ships, if you know to look.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img
