A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

Opinion: Stop Stereotyping Bad Teeth as a Sign of Drug Addiction

Self-driving tech hopes to make our roads safer, but the data proving its effectiveness is limited so far. Instead, ADAS with crash avoidance features are a proven solution that need wider implementation. Study says self-driving systems cause more accidents than human-driven vehicles at dawn and dusk and during "turning conditions."

AI-generated text and imagery is flooding the web — a trend that, ironically, could be a huge problem for generative AI models. As Aatish Bhatia writes for The New York Times, a growing pile of research shows that training generative AI models on AI-generated content causes models to erode. In short, training on AI content causes a flattening cycle similar to inbreeding; the AI researcher Jathan Sadowski last year dubbed the phenomenon as "Habsburg AI," a reference to Europe's famously inbred royal family.
