"They just have to be a conservative." "I just prefer my men to be masculine." Purported conservative young women make these statements and more in an ad for new dating app "The Right Stuff," for – you guessed it – right-leaning singles. "We are living in a hyper-political environment. The biggest dealbreaker when it came to dating used to be religion, but more and more we're seeing that replaced by political affiliation," founder John McEntee said in a statement.

I met my husband in 2008 and therefore skipped the whole online dating universe that dominates how we hook up and fall in love in 2022. So I was pretty excited to try out The Right Stuff--the Peter Thiel-backed dating app for conservatives--you know, for journalism, and end my personal streak of dating-app virginity. "Inae falls in love with a patriot and divorces her husband," my esteemed colleague Abigail Weinberg had predicted for me. But after filling out the questionnaires and selecting photos to build my profile, I got stuck on the last step requiring an invite. I had no choice but to hit delete; my status as a dating app virgin remains intact. But it turns out I wasn't the only one disappointed by the system--a bunch of reviewers in the app store, first spotted here, also had complaints.

Great teams incorporate a variety of skill sets. For example, a football team consisting of 11 quarterbacks would get crushed in a game against talented linemen, running backs and receivers. It's no different when building a team for an enterprise AI project; you can't just throw a bunch of data scientists into a room and expect them to come up with a revenue-generating or efficiency-improving project without support from other members of the enterprise. Interestingly, many companies do just that, creating a disconnect between data science teams and IT/DevOps when it comes to AI development. This gap is a significant reason why AI pilot projects fail.

Former aides of ex-President Donald Trump have released a new dating app for conservatives. The dating app, named The Right Stuff, is founded by former White House staffers, including John McEntee, Trump's former personal aide and ex-director of the White House presidential personnel office; and Daniel Huff, a Trump appointee in the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The dating app is designed to help conservatives "connect in authentic and meaningful ways." The Right Stuff is also created to "bring people together with shared values and similar passions," according to the website. The app is backed by Peter Thiel, a German-American tech billionaire who co-founded PayPal, Palantir Technologies, and Founders Fund.

SUSAN SCHNEIDER: So the ACT test actually looks at the AI to see if it has the felt quality of experience. So we've noted that consciousness is that inner feel. So it actually probes the AI by asking questions that are designed to determine whether it feels like something to be the AI. And I actually published the questions in my book, some of the questions. And they're questions that are actually philosophical in nature in some cases, or even that are inspired by religious traditions.

NEW YORK - In 1964, Stanley Kubrick, on the recommendation of the science-fiction author Arthur C. Clarke, bought a telescope. "He got this Questar and he attached one of his cameras to it," said Katharina Kubrick, the filmmaker's stepdaughter. "On a night where there was a lunar eclipse, he dragged us all out onto the balcony and we were able to see the moon like a big rubber ball. I don't think I've seen it as clearly since. He looked at it all the time."

In the military world, fighter pilots have long been described as the best of the best. As Tom Wolfe famously wrote, only those with the "right stuff" can handle the job. Now, it seems, the right stuff may no longer be the sole purview of human pilots. A pilot A.I. developed by a doctoral graduate from the University of Cincinnati has shown that it can not only beat other A.I.s, but also a professional fighter pilot with decades of experience. In a series of flight combat simulations, the A.I. successfully evaded retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Gene "Geno" Lee, and shot him down every time.
