US is somewhere in the middle of the range that EU member nations occupy. Similar to France, lower than Germany.

No. The US is a lot lower than the EU and also a lot lower than France.

EU average is 81.7 years, US average is 79 years. France is at 83 years. The US is about on the level of Estonia, Croatia or Turkey. Not something to aspire to.

The death rate is misleading. Actual life-expectancy wise, the US is dead last last in the west with 77/81 (M/F) years, Germany is 79/83, Japan is 81/87.
In the US, even the rich do not have life-expectancy much better. A possible explanation is constant high stress, which seems to be a systematic problem in the US. The statistics do not really seem to support that, but they may not be asking the right questions.

That is nonsense.
The copyright is with the author. Regardless what tool he uses.

The "AI code can not be copyrighted" decisions are about: The AI itself can not hold the copyright, or the creator of the AI/LLM can't have copyrights.

In other words: there is no code under copyright of Claude or Gemini. Or the owners/creators of Claude or Gemini.

I recently made an Android app with Gemini AI. I'm an embedded C guy, not done any Android development, and I just wanted a simple app for personal use so I thought I'd try it.

It made the app, eventually. I had to walk it through some parts, and repeat requests when it said it was done but hadn't actually done what I asked. Some research was needed to guide it, such as asking it to use a specific API call that properly aggregated data over a day, rather than trying to read all the raw readings and add them up manually.

I won't release it, it's AI slop. It works for me, but I don't want to support it, and I don't want to inflict that on anyone else. But also, I have an app that I would probably never have had the time or energy to learn how to make myself.
