Looking at the momentum built up by the cargo ship hitting the bridge in Baltimore.

The total weight of the ship+max cargo is 423.958 million pounds. The ship was traveling at 9.2 mph. That means the cargo ship’s momentum was 1,742,467,380 pounds•meters/second.

Have spent some time thinking about AI and government regulation of it in the U.S.

I don’t think there is a way to generally regulate AI generated content on the web. However I think one requirement for all AI content generated in the U.S. is to require an on-screen label identifying it as AI generated or a label at the beginning of audio/text products.

Thoughts?

The upper-level hot dome is retreating back to the west/southwest today bringing some relief to central Indiana.

Over the next week it appears the hot dome will flatten out and encompass the southern United States, keeping big heat away from the #Hoosier state.

#Indy’s air quality has dropped today due to wildfire smoke. Not as bad as a few weeks ago, but not great.

Good news central Indiana, the air quality is getting better.

The bad news… it is still awful.
