In a landmark convergence of global leaders and climate advocates, the United Nations Climate Week in Addis Ababa has solidified Ethiopia’s position at the vanguard of a new, more assertive African diplomacy. Far from being a mere forum for discussion, the event emerged as a pivotal where the continent, under Ethiopia’s leadership, articulated a unified, unyielding demand for climate justice, tangible financial commitments, and a complete overhaul of the international system that has long left developing nations at a disadvantage. This diplomatic offensive is not simply about seeking aid; it is about reclaiming the narrative and ensuring that Africa’s voice,…

The Office: An American Workplace ran for nine seasons, setting aside some of the original’s cringe comedy aspects…

In a blog post summarizing the paper, OpenAI defines hallucinations as “plausible but false statements generated by language models,” and it acknowledges that despite improvements, hallucinations “remain a fundamental challenge for all large language models” — one that will never be completely eliminated. To illustrate the point, researchers say that when they asked “a widely used chatbot” about the title of Adam Tauman Kalai’s Ph.D. dissertation, they got three different answers,…
