He’s been schooled: A high school coach used AI against a principal who fired him.

AI on duty: Taser-maker Axon just launched (paywall link) an AI tool that automatically transcribes body cam audio into police reports. Less paperwork, sure, but we all know AI is notorious for skipping or even inventing details. Doubt this one is ready for primetime.

Apparently, liberals have smaller lower faces, while conservatives’ faces are typically larger and wider. And independent voters? Theirs go straight down the middle. OK, I made that one up.
