There’s been a constant at the top of the AFC for nearly the past decade with the teams led by superstar quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson typically at the top of the standings.That’s what made what happened in Week 5 of the NFL season so unusual.There was Mahomes throwing a pick-6 and watching as Jacksonville rallied to beat his Kansas City Chiefs. Josh Allen got outdueled at home by New England youngster Drake Maye in a prime-time game in Buffalo. And Lamar Jackson was out injured watching his Baltimore Ravens get blown out by Houston.That marked the…
The Gen Z job crisis isn’t stopping Sam Altman from being jealous of today’s college dropouts.”I’m envious of the current generation of 20-year-old dropouts,” the OpenAI CEO said in an interview with Rowan Cheung at the DevDay conference on Monday. “Because the amount of stuff you can build, the opportunity in this space is so incredibly wide.”He added: “I have not had, like, a real chunk of free mental space in a couple of years to think hard about what I would build, but I know that there would be a lot of cool stuff to build.”Altman dropped out of…
KAJIADO, Kenya (AP) — This year, less than a kilometer from where I live, a girl named Peace Mwende was killed by a lion. The news hit me hard: She was 14, the same age as my youngest daughter, and the lioness responsible may have been one of the animals we see in our neighborhood almost weekly.Our children are growing up in a part of Nairobi where lions roam free. We see them while taking our kids to school. We’ve lost pets and livestock. Neighborhood WhatsApp groups share warnings when big cats come close — and feature CCTV footage of…
LIVINGSTON, Texas (AP) — Robert Roberson was calm and hopeful as he pondered his mortality and whether he could again avoid becoming the first person in the U.S. executed for a murder conviction tied to the diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome.With days to go before his scheduled Oct. 16 execution, Roberson maintained his innocence in the 2002 death of his 2-year-old daughter, Nikki Curtis, in the east Texas city of Palestine. He is set to die by lethal injection nearly a year to the day after a group of Texas lawmakers, who say he is innocent, secured an extraordinary last-minute…

Ross Gerber, a longtime Tesla investor, was neither impressed nor surprised by the more affordable models.”It’s another version of the Model Y, and they already launched the best Model Y they’ve ever built,” Gerber told Business Insider. “So the problem is, people are extremely price sensitive. If you have two or three or four models of the same car, which one do you think most people pick? The cheapest one.””So they will now perceive the brand differently because their experience with it will be different. It now becomes more like Toyota than Mercedes, when Tesla used to be considered a…

Zelda Williams, daughter of the late actor Robin Williams, has a poignant message for her father’s fans. “Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand. I don’t and I won’t,” she wrote in a post on her Instagram story on Monday. “If you’ve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It’s dumb, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it’s NOT what he’d want.” It’s probably not a coincidence that Williams was moved to post this…
Short bursts of purposeful activity — such as walking around the block or lifting small weights — may be the best way to get in the habit of exercising. Bite-sized bits of exercise also improve heart and muscle fitness, a study published Tuesday in BMJ Sports Medicine found.Less than half of adults in the United States get enough aerobic activity and less than a quarter get the recommended amount of both aerobic and muscle-strengthening exercise.“When people are asked why they don’t exercise, the answers are almost always the same, no time and no motivation,” Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, a doctoral student…
