Artificial intelligence has entered our lives under the banner of brilliance. These systems answer our questions, write our essays, even mimic creativity. But as Sam Altman explained in his exchange with Tucker Carlson, what we’re really witnessing isn’t intelligence in the human sense — it’s a mirror of
Sam Altman doesn't sleep well anymore. The 40-year-old CEO of OpenAI admitted as much to Tucker Carlson in a recent interview, though not for the reasons you might expect. It's not the weight of playing God that keeps him awake—it's the minutiae, the
Dr. Andrew Koutnik doesn’t just study metabolic health — he embodies it. Once a teenager weighing 255 pounds despite “doing everything right,” he learned firsthand how modern nutrition guidelines can fail us.

0:00 /0:08 1× If Einstein had access to today’s AI, would he have used it? The purists say no. They imagine him in a quiet Bern office, chalk dust on his fingers, needing nothing but thought experiments and the expanse of his own mind. But they'
Yes, I used AI to help write this. That doesn’t make it less me. In fact, it makes it more me—because now I can finally say what I’ve always wanted to say, clearly, consistently, and in a voice that feels just right. I’ll admit it—I’
