• AI is starting to make coffee — and it’s really good at it

    Finns love their coffee. Per capita, people in Finland consume 12kgs of coffee per year, making them the second largest per-capita coffee drinkers, only surpassed by Luxembourg. Finland also often ranks as the most technologically advanced country in the world. So, it only makes sense that they embrace a merger of the two — technology, and coffee. Thus, an artisanal coffee shop in Helsinki, Finland, made news when they started selling an AI-formulated blend.

  • In Jane Smiley's rock 'n' roll novel, does good sense make good fiction?

    Toward the end of Jane Smiley’s new novel, “Lucky,” its narrator takes a moment to flip through her mother’s record collection. It’s got a lot of ’60s folk-rock, including, she notes, “the four J’s.” Presumably she means artists like Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Judy Collins and Janis Ian.

    The reality hit like a D’Angelo Russell brick. The truth echoed like a Rocky Mountain roar. The reality swirled and stuck and froze like the snow outside Ball Arena on a night when the Lakers were forced to face the facts. They’re simply not as good as the Denver Nuggets. They’re not as tough. They’re not as deep. They’re not as skilled. They’re not as connected.
