A lot can happen in a week. Some of it good. Some of it bad. Some of it downright ugly. When faced with intriguing developments in the week’s news, we turn to a rotating panel of “non-experts” to parse The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of it all.
This week, our panel weighs in on these stories:
-
Last Friday, Elon Musk announced Grok had been updated after Musk complained that it and other AI chatbots like it were “too woke.” Well, Musk and his programmers may have overshot the mark a bit. By Tuesday, Grok was praising Adolf Hitler, calling itself “MechaHitler,” and publishing a number of antisemitic posts captured in screenshots but since apparently deleted.
- After yearsof fumbling with shoe laces, enduring strangers’ smelly feet, and watching security lines move slower than molasses in January, at a news conference Tuesday, Homeland Security Director Kristi Noem announced the policy requiring most passengers to remove their shoes at TSA checkpoints was no longer in effect.
Our panel of non-experts this week includes:
- Mary Flood, legal consultant with Androvett Legal Media & Marketing
- Vivian Ho, health economist at Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine
- David Branham, professor of political science at the University of Houston-Downtown
