Dogs make everything better. Camping, hiking, road tripping, or any other form of adventure is instantly enhanced by the presence of a canine companion. Of course, with all the tail- and tongue-wagging joy our little friends get from tagging along comes some risk.

The outdoorsy first aid kit brand Adventure Medical Kits had this in mind when it created its Me & My Dog set, which combines both human and pet essentials. Whether you’re planning…

It is one of my very earliest concert memories. In October 1965, my father drove us to Manchester to hear Mstislav Rostropovich play in the Free Trade Hall. Rostropovich played Dvořák’s cello concerto with the Moscow Philharmonic, who began the concert with a symphony by Tikhon Khrennikov and ended it with one by Brahms. I was smitten by Rostropovich’s noble playing. I had never heard a musician like him before.This was, though, a concert taking place slap-bang in the middle of the cold war. The Cuban missile crisis had taken place less than three years earlier. The Berlin Wall was…

AI psychosis is real and rising, along with AI co-creating delusions with users, so we need keen attention to mitigating this worrisome problem.getty In today’s column, I examine a rapidly rising concern that people using generative AI and large language models (LLMs) are potentially falling into a kind of AI psychosis, losing their right minds. A notable instance of an AI psychosis consists of a person forming a delusion and for which the AI aids in that delusional formulation. In a sense, there is a co-creation of a human-AI delusion that occurs. This topic has recently gotten heightened media attention…

I want to be clear from the outset. I’ve never been a car enthusiast. My driving history includes a hand-me-down Volvo with a hole in the floorboards and a series of aggressively practical vehicles, including a VW Golf and a Mazda SUV in which I hauled my family around for 12 years. Then I leased a BMW i4 electric car. What drew me to the i4? Unlike other electric vehicles, BMWs don’t look like something out of the Jetsons; I like that they’re understated cars that happen to be electric. I liked that they’re far less common than other EVs…
