OP-ED: Using Our Noggins — AI and Meme Coin

By |

Dear Editor,

Several weeks ago, a Microsoft update included an Artificial Intelligence (AI) software called CoPilot. In teletype fashion, Copilot depicted itself as being my personal AI Assistant. My first thought was a virus had taken over my laptop. I am familiar with help from Geek Squad where, depending on the service required, you must approve access to your computer.

Weather Forecast: Another Rainy Weekend, Warmer Temps During the Week

By |

Who’s ready for another rainy weekend? Eastern Massachusetts heads into mid-June with a few ups and downs still in store. Friday brings pleasant weather, but the weekend trend turns wet yet again with clouds, cool air, and the return of scattered rain. Saturday looks particularly unsettled and unseasonably chilly. Sunday offers a small improvement, but remains damp and gray. The pattern resets Monday with sunshine and a slow warming trend. By mid-to-late next week, summer heat may finally stage a comeback, with highs climbing into the 80s and more typical June humidity. I still don’t see any prolonged heat or humidity in our future — possibly not until July.
