This is not another opinion article about Lindsay Clancy. Well, not really. I'm not qualified to discuss the woman's actions or the validity of her insanity defense in a murder trial for several million reasons at least. I've learned over the last few weeks that I'm one of the 10 people ...
he midterm elections are right around the corner, and both parties are about as popular as a Monday-morning visit to the DMV. The time-tested solution? Find a scapegoat, go negative, and blame the other side. This year the weaponized bogeyman is artificial intelligence. Many Americans ...
