Midterm elections could hinge on turnout, redistricting and key House races in Ohio, Iowa, Virginia and Maine as Democrats and Republicans battle for control.

What agentic A.I. is best at is optimizing processes that, not too long ago, were presented as the already maximally optimized version of a once analog experience. The first thing it asks me is what I'd like to call it. Rumi or Harbor, it suggests, but I'm free to give it any name I choose. I select Harbor because it sounds slightly less human than Rumi, and because naming an A.I. agent after a Sufi mystic seems like something I'd be punished for in the afterlife. The experiment I'm about to undertake--outsourcing my life to Muse, Meta's newly unveiled A.I. assistant--already offends my better sensibilities, given my opposition to all things artificial intelligence.

Researchers have developed a low-cost, semi-automated, AI-driven method that uses remote cameras to survey bumblebees and potentially other insects. The new tool could have important implications for efforts to conserve declining insect populations . This includes bumblebee species, several of which have been petitioned to be listed under the Endangered Species Act. Researchers also say the technology could benefit agriculture, given that many crops depend on insects as pollinators. "Insects are vitally important, and we need methods to better understand their populations," said Michael Getz, a data scientist at Biodiversity Research Institute in Maine, who led this research as a master's student at Oregon State University.

Figure caption, 'Trump underestimates us': Doug Ford takes aim at US over tariffs What leverage does Canada, which sells about 70% of its goods to the US, actually have in this spiralling trade dispute with its southern neighbour, who also happens to be the world's largest economy?
