Just four months ago, Cruise, the autonomous driving company backed by General Motors, was riding high on a wave of success. California regulators had granted approval for the company to provide 24/7 passenger services in San Francisco, a significant milestone in the highly competitive autonomous vehicle industry. However, a series of events have rapidly transformed the narrative, taking Cruise from celebratory success to a critical point labeled as its “all-time low.” Cruise’s Decade-Long Odyssey Founded a decade ago by Kyle Vogt, one of the minds behind Twitch, Cruise had initially embarked on retrofitting cars with sensors to transform them into…

In the past year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted approval for Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy, a widely-used obesity drug, to be prescribed to teens aged 12 and above with a BMI at or above the 95th percentile for their age and sex.

With the prevalence of obesity among teenagers, reaching 22% according to the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics endorsed the use of Wegovy as part of a comprehensive approach to treating childhood obesity. Knownwell, a metabolic health clinic established in January…

In the annals of 2023, a year marked by widespread concerns about AI surpassing human creators, a unique uprising took center stage—one fueled not by machines but by people.

This move sparked discontent among users, leading to a rebellion by Reddit moderators in June. Thousands of subreddits were temporarily shut down in protest, though the outcome did not…

In a groundbreaking move, California regulators are poised to vote on new rules that would allow water agencies to recycle wastewater and reintroduce it directly into the pipelines supplying drinking water to homes, schools, and businesses.

Earlier this month, AT&T quietly published an extraordinary document, a “political congruency report,” covering the year 2022. This report looks at the state and federal elected officials to whom AT&T or its Employee PACs have made political contributions and compares their voting record to the company’s stance.

For instance, while claiming to support LGBTQ rights, AT&T donated over $1.3 million to anti-LGBTQ legislators between January 2022 and June 2023. Similarly, AT&T’s support for voting rights contradicts its financial contributions to politicians behind voter…
