When I read it, I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, this actually is real data [for] the conversations I'm having where, 'Yeah, we bought all these Chats and Claudes and Geminis and people can summarize their emails and look up stuff in their calendar and help me write a nice letter.' But is that real work? It's not.
Some Brits like theirs thick and meaty, using the Yorkshire Pudding as a vessel. But others are convinced that gravy should be thin and broth-like, poured all over the plate. To settle the debate once and for all, Asda surveyed 2,000 Brits about the 'correct' shade and consistency of gravy. Their results revealed that the ultimate gravy should be medium brown and just thick enough to coat a spoon.
A national survey of artists, commissioned by the Mellon Foundation, in partnership with NORC at the University of Chicago, has revealed a closer look at the livelihoods of US artists. The 102-page report takes into account 2,618 artists' work and jobholding, earnings, health and wellbeing, and personal identifiers such as age, marital status, gender, and race. The comprehensive study considered artists across five artistic disciplines: performing arts, visual arts, writing, craft arts, and other arts that were broken down into in 37 artistic subdisciplines;
Respondents between the ages of 18 and 44 were the most likely to say 5G improves their digital experiences, agreeing with the sentiment at a rate of 67%. Those ages 45 to 64 agreed at a rate of 61% while those 65 and older agreed at a rate of 49%. The report also separated results by income. Respondents who earned at least 200% of the median income reported a benefit from 5G at a rate of 69%.
Early this year, Mark Zuckerberg made headlines by saying corporate culture needs more "masculine energy." This sentiment was echoed by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's call for the military-an employer of 2.1 million Americans-to return to a "warrior ethos", promoting traditional masculine standards like aggression and athleticism. And yet, according to recent news reports, recruits at ICE (another workplace) are struggling to pass basic fitness tests, and Hegseth allegedly installed a makeup room at the Pentagon.
No longer do younger Americans turn to mom or dad to help set up their 401(k), understand their paycheck, or get investment advice-that's because AI has become their new financial friend. While AI has taken on roles ranging from break-up coach to health expert, tools like Open AI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini are now guiding younger generations to tackle their financial woes, from credit card debt to picking their latest stocks and ETFs.
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
Is it really fair to say that Germans don't have a sense of humour? We'd like to hear your thoughts, and maybe a funny joke you've heard, in this quick survey. Germans aren't particularly known for their sense of humour. In fact, the stereotype is that they are a seriously un-funny group of people. But is that really true? Or, is it better explained by language or cultural barriers?
When I was deciding whether to have children, in the early 2000s, most of what I read about the prospect was negative. Articles detailed the sleep deprivation, the physical challenges of pregnancy, the sheer overwhelmingness of motherhood. If you want to be happy, these writers warned, don't have children. You might not want to get married, either-after all, marriage, research suggested, mostly benefits men.
Earlier this year, the UK government delayed the rollout of driverless vehicles until late 2027* as it strives to build public trust. While limited self-driving technology is permitted on UK roads, a human driver must be at the wheel to supervise and intervene if needed. But several companies are already testing more advanced tech across the UK. In Belfast, NI's first self-driving vehicle - the Harlander shuttle bus - is giving passengers at Titanic Quarter a taste of the future.**
