DOOM

MLB.com has published a ranking of the four teams that dropped their Game 1 matchups, assessing which are best positioned to fight back in their series. The piece weighs each club's odds of recovering from an opening-game defeat as fans debate which losses were most damaging and which teams can still turn things around.

AI researcher Timnit Gebru, one of the field's most prominent critics, argues in a WIRED interview that fears of artificial intelligence wiping out humanity are misplaced. She says the current doom narrative serves as a marketing tool that helps tech founders raise money, rather than a genuine concern, and that real harms come from present-day bias and exploitation.

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists argues that alarmist claims about artificial intelligence existential risk rest on poor science, and that this doomerism actually serves large AI companies. By framing the technology as powerful and dangerous, the argument goes, firms building it attract attention, investment and sympathetic regulation. Critics of AI safety warnings have seized on the piece.
