CBS News, Washington — For the first time in history, a robot, not a person, escorted the first lady of the United States Wednesday at the White House. Escorted by a walking, talking humanoid system, first lady Melania Trump pitched the Fostering the Future Together Global Coalition Summit on AI robots as potential, "personalized" educators for America's children in their homes. Not only can AI share a depth and breadth of knowledge, she said, but it can also patiently help children develop "deep critical thinking and independent reasoning abilities," achieve a "more well-rounded lifestyle" as they make time for other activities and become a "more complete person."

Bret Devereaux -- For the United States this war was an unwise gamble on extremely long odds; the gamble (that the regime would collapse swiftly) has already failed and as a result locked in essentially nothing but negative outcomes. Even with the regime were to collapse in the coming weeks or suddenly sue for peace, every likely outcome leaves the United States in a meaningfully worse strategic position than when it started.

Когда говорят "песня на три аккорда", имеют в виду минорный септаккорд, построенный на второй ступени, доминантсептаккорд на пятой ступени и мажорный септаккорд на первой ступени. К типичный песням на три аккорда относятся Autumn Leavеs, Afternoon in Paris и Solar.
