Do Apple Watches and Oura rings really make use healthier?

2 days ago | vox.com | Adam Clark Estes

You’d think I would have been more self-conscious about walking around New York City while wearing no fewer than six health trackers at a time. For the first six months of this year, I wore smart rings on both hands, fitness bands on both wrists, biosensors plugged into my arms, and sometimes even headphones that monitored my brain activity. I was a little embarrassed, sure, but mostly I was anxious. This health tracking ensemble was part of an experiment — a failed one, I’ll admit.
How summer camp became an American obsession

4 days ago | vox.com | Jonquilyn Hill

Summer camp. It’s where kids go every year to make friends, find their long-lost twin, or even evade a slasher wreaking havoc on the campers and counselors. At least, that’s what pop culture would lead you to believe: For the outsized space they take up in our consciousness, going to camp for the summer isn’t actually all that common.
US war with Iran: 3 ways Americans could pay for Trump’s strikes

4 days ago | vox.com | Eric Levitz

President Donald Trump has framed his strikes on Iran as a costless triumph. The president is not asking Americans to accept sacrifices in service of destroying the Iranian nuclear program — only to applaud his already successful destruction of it. “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated,” Trump declared Saturday night. “Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace.
Is moderate drinking bad, actually?

There is a lot of advice out there about how much alcohol one should drink. There is research suggesting that drinking could be dangerous, and research that indicates drinking is good for you. Which is it? Obviously, too much drinking is bad for one’s health — and drinking to excess can destroy the human body. But is moderate drinking good — or, at least, fine?
The bizarre pancreas loophole that’s undermining America’s organ donation system

Below is a graph showing a trend that exploded during the 2020s:What is this depicting? Compute use for AI? Crispr gene edits per year? No, this is another, much less-known example of massive growth these past several years. This is a chart of the number of pancreases (or, to use the correct plural, “pancreata”) collected each year from dead bodies in the US for research purposes:How this happened is no mystery.
Right-wing economic populism, explained

6 days ago | vox.com | Sean Illing

For more than half a century, the American right has preached the virtues of free markets and low taxes and deregulation. But a new wave of conservative thinkers are now arguing that Republicans have been wrong — or at the very least misguided — about the economy. This new economic thinking represents a break from what we’ve come to expect from the American right.
US strikes Iran: This time it’s Trump’s war

6 days ago | vox.com | Joshua Keating

Donald Trump claimed during his 2024 campaign for president that America had fought “no wars” during his first presidency, and that he was the first president in 72 years who could say that. This was not, strictly speaking, true. In his first term, Trump intensified the air war against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, ordered airstrikes against Bashar al-Assad’s Syrian regime in response to chemical weapons use, and escalated a little-noticed counterinsurgency campaign in Somalia.
Apple’s AI study can’t say whether AI will take your job

1 week ago | vox.com | Kelsey Piper

In 2023, one popular perspective on AI went like this: Sure, it can generate lots of impressive text, but it can’t truly reason — it’s all shallow mimicry, just “stochastic parrots” squawking. At the time, it was easy to see where this perspective was coming from. Artificial intelligence had moments of being impressive and interesting, but it also consistently failed basic tasks.
The top priority of progressive politics may be slipping out of reach forever

1 week ago | vox.com | Eric Levitz

Four years ago, America was on the cusp of the largest expansion of its welfare state since the 1960s. Under Joe Biden in 2021, House Democrats passed legislation that would have established a monthly child allowance for most families, an expansion of Medicaid’s elder care services, federal child care subsidies, universal prekindergarten, and a paid family leave program, among other new social benefits. But that bill failed — and then, so did Biden’s presidency.
ChatGPT-maker OpenAI partners with Barbie-maker Mattel to make AI toys

1 week ago | vox.com | Adam Clark Estes

The first big Christmas gift I remember getting was an animatronic bear named Teddy Ruxpin. Thanks to a cassette tape hidden in his belly, he could talk, his eyes and mouth moving in a famously creepy way. Later that winter, when I was sick with a fever, I hallucinated that the toy came alive and attacked me. I never saw Teddy again after that. These days, toys can do a lot more than tell pre-recorded stories.
