AI could boost Poland's GDP by 12% in a decade, new report finds

A new report projects that artificial intelligence could grow Poland's GDP by up to 12% over the next decade, though it would simultaneously reduce tax revenues. In other news, the United States has suspended sanctions on Iranian oil, and Poland's Central Communication Port (CPK) plans to raise the new airport's capacity to 44 million passengers per year.

Do AI's GDP benefits outweigh the resulting loss in tax revenues?

$14.7m "American flag blue" paint peeling off Reflecting Pool, water turned green with algae

The Trump administration spent $14.7 million painting Washington's Reflecting Pool "American flag blue" ahead of the US 250th anniversary celebrations. Within weeks, the paint began peeling and algae turned the water green. Trump has threatened prison for anyone who "vandalises" the pool, even as the deterioration stems from the renovation itself rather than any act of vandalism.

Was spending $14.7 million to repaint the Reflecting Pool justified?

Google forces Gemini onto phones – EU regulations may block the practice

Google is pushing its Gemini AI assistant onto Android devices without explicit user consent. Regulatory relief appears to be on the way, likely in the form of EU rules aimed at curbing manufacturers' ability to force-install applications. The source does not specify the exact regulations or their timeline, but frames the development as a response to user complaints about unwanted software.

Should Google be allowed to pre-install Gemini without user consent?

Baby's body position shapes how infants learn about the world

Research shows that an infant's body position — whether lying on their back, tummy, or sitting up — significantly affects how they perceive and explore the world around them. Different postures provide babies with distinct sensory perspectives and learning opportunities. The findings suggest that caregivers should vary infant positioning to support healthy cognitive and physical development.

Surviving a day in Los Angeles on 25 USD: doable but grim

A journalist tested whether it's possible to survive a full day in Los Angeles on the equivalent of 100 Polish zloty (roughly 25 USD) — and it worked, just barely. The city's stark contrasts were impossible to ignore: luxury cars worth as much as Polish apartments parked next to encampments of thousands of homeless people. The writer succeeded but said he had no desire to repeat the experience.
