We don’t know if the models are conscious. We’re not even sure that we know what it would mean for a model to be conscious or whether a model can be conscious. And similar to humans, the models will just say, no, I don’t want to. But it seems clear to me that people using these things, whether they’re conscious or not, are going to believe — they already believe they’re conscious. And perhaps that relationship could be the idea that these models, when you interact with them, when you talk to them, they’re really helpful.

MILAN — Chloe Kim came up short in her attempt to become the first person to win three consecutive Olympic snowboarding gold medals on Thursday, finishing second in the halfpipe to South Korea's Gaon Choi at Livigno Snow Park. At the bottom of the halfpipe, Choi threw her arms in the air. Choi counts Kim among one of her snowboarding idols after Kim launched herself to superstardom at the 2018 Olympics. Kim, then 17, became the youngest woman to win an Olympic snowboarding gold medal in PyeongChang. She followed it up with a historic gold in Beijing, where she became the first woman to win two Olympic gold medals in halfpipe.

Councilmember Nithya Raman raises her hand to ask a question in the council chamber at City Hall. Raman’s statements represent a considerable evolution from 2020, when she became the first person elected to the City Council with the support of the Democratic Socialists of America. AdvertisementAs a city council member, Raman has navigated a tightrope on the issue, responding to the wishes of her DSA supporters but also other constituents concerned about crime. “My analysis was that [the contract] would not increase recruitment and that it would bankrupt the city,” Raman said last year at a community meeting in Encino. In 2024, Raman voted against Bass’ city budget — the first since the package of police raises went into effect.
LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressive move by the president to roll back climate regulations. AdvertisementEnvironmental groups described the move as the single biggest attack in U.S. history against federal authority to address climate change. The Trump administration will repeal the 2009 central scientific finding that allows the EPA to regulate climate-warming emissions. The endangerment finding is widely considered the legal foundation that underpins a series of regulations intended to protect against threats made increasingly severe by climate change. The transportation sector is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S.
The Vikings might be able to get Murray for a Day 3 pick, according to ESPN’s Benjamin Solak. “[Kirk] Cousins is the obvious choice because he has scheme familiarity from his time in Minnesota as coach Kevin O’Connell’s starter,” Solak wrote. He shared, “Can the kid (McCarthy) stay healthy? That’s where O’Connell and interim general manager Rob Brzezinski can hard-press him to return to Minnesota, mentor McCarthy, and potentially get some serious playing time. Moton predicted a major swap at QB between the Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings.
