When a child is upset, most parents instinctively ask the same question: “What’s wrong?”It is goodwill and comes from compassion. But in my years of teaching conscious parenting and studying over 200 children, I’ve seen how often that question results in the opposite of what parents expect. Instead of opening up your children, you may close them off.Emotional intelligence develops when children feel safe enough.

OpenAI is already testing ads, so it’s easy to imagine the same data collection that fuels Facebook and Google creeping into chatbot conversations. A new project launched in December by Signal co-founder Moxie Marlinspike shows what a privacy-aware AI service could look like. Confer is designed to look and feel similar to ChatGPT and Claude, but with a backend configured to avoid data collection and an open…

Europe has rarely spoken with one voice or reacted with such urgency.
