Two studies: one showing that Waymo's self-driving cars have a significantly lower serious injury crash rate than human-driven vehicles, and the other one linking the use of romantic AI to poorer mental health.
A guide for building GitHub workflows and a claim by a GitHub engineer about Grok being "coerced" into Copilot. Finally, we see a sense of disillusionment with generative AI.
