When Does AI Stop Being a Tool and Start Being the Author?

“Everybody look what’s going down”: The Pentagon’s new press policy and why you should care

Carole-Anne Morris, Editor-in-Chief   I love that old Buffalo Springfield song. You know the one: “I think it’s time we stop/ Children, what’s that sound?/ Everybody look what’s going down.” One of the best protest anthems ever penned. It’s a gentle, almost tender admonition of apathy that stirs me every time I hear it.   Most people, including myself until the writing of this article, assume “For What It’s Worth” is a response … Continue reading “Everybody look what’s going down”: The Pentagon’s new press policy and why you should care
