Actress Reese Witherspoon warned women that their jobs are three times more likely to be replaced by artificial intelligence (AI) than those of men unless they begin learning how to use the technology.The “Morning Show” actress took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a story about meeting with the women in her book club and discovering that out of the 10 women, only three used AI and only one felt that she was using it the right way.”So, if three out of 10 women are the only ones using AI, that means 70% of that group is not keeping up,” Witherspoon said. “The thing I’ve learned about technology is if you don’t get a little bit of understanding from the very beginning, it just speeds past you. So you have to have little bits of learning just to keep up.”ACTOR GEORGE CLOONEY CLAIMS THE RISE OF AI TECHNOLOGY IS DANGEROUS, SAYS ‘GENIE IS OUT OF THE BOTTLE’ In the caption, she also wrote, “The AI revolution has begun, and I need to learn as much as I possibly can about AI and share it with all of you.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The producers of “The Charlie Kirk Show” panned the stated reason Utah Valley University (UVU) canceled the commencement speaker invitation of author and educator Sharon McMahon, whose selection sparked outrage among supporters of the late conservative leader, who was murdered on its campus.On Thursday, UVU issued a statement saying, “Due to increased safety concerns related to the speaker and in consultation with public safety professionals and Sharon McMahon, Utah Valley University has decided to proceed without a featured commencement speaker for this year’s ceremony.”The statement didn’t sit well with podcast co-hosts Andrew Kolvet and Blake Neff.UTAH VALLEY UNIVERSITY SCRAPS CONTROVERSIAL COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER WHO CRITICIZED CHARLIE KIRK AFTER MURDER “Here’s what’s annoying,” Neff reacted. “They say it’s not because ‘Oh, we picked a terrible speaker and that was our bad.’ They say they have ‘increased safety concerns’ about what happened.””Basically it’s our fault we were engaged in menacing behavior, they say,” Neff continued. “But regardless, it’s a speaker they shouldn’t have chosen… Nobody was making any threats about this. Not on this show or anywhere else.””We were saying it was a bad idea,” Kolvet responded before saying, “Hallelujah.”Representatives for UVU did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Newly declassified documents prove that the first impeachment of President Donald Trump in 2019-2020 was a carefully orchestrated fraud.It all was concocted by Trump-hating “deep state actors” within the intelligence community who secretly conspired with Democrats in Congress to remove Trump from office and subvert the will of the American people who put him there.The damning evidence was produced Monday, April 13 by Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. On Wednesday, she sent criminal referrals to the Department of Justice (DOJ) aimed at two of the central figures who propelled the impeachment proceedings, accusing them of manufacturing a conspiracy.The first is Michael Atkinson, who served as the inspector general (IG) of the Intelligence Community at the time of the impeachment hearings, and the whistleblower who filed a formal complaint about Trump’s July 2019 telephone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.GABBARD CLAIMS ‘COORDINATED EFFORT’ BY INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY TO ADVANCE NARRATIVE TO IMPEACH TRUMP The identity of the whistleblower — a CIA analyst and registered Democrat — has still not been officially disclosed, which is utterly absurd. He is not entitled to hide in the shadows of anonymity. By law, only the IG can…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

The extension allows us the time to do that,” he said.JOHNSON FACES GOP REVOLT OVER WARRANTLESS SURVEILLANCE POWERS AHEAD OF KEY VOTE The short-term FISA extension came together after House GOP leadership was forced to scrap an initial 18-month extension of the program due to opposition from conservatives, who want more privacy guardrails added to the program.GOP privacy hawks also shot down a compromise agreement that would have extended…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Trump administration canceled a longstanding contract with Catholic Charities in Miami, citing a drop in illegal immigration as a factor amid tensions between the president and the Pope.On Wednesday, Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski wrote an op-ed for The Miami Herald lamenting the loss of an $11 million contract to help care for unaccompanied minors and migrant children programs, which has been active for more than 60 years. Without funding, Wenski warned, services would not even last the rest of the year.”For more than 60 years, the Archdiocese of Miami’s services for unaccompanied minors have been recognized for their excellence and have served as a model for other agencies throughout the country,” Wenski wrote. “Our track record in serving this vulnerable population is unmatched.

As Bob Dylan once sang, “The times, they are a-changin.” I remember an era where bolt-action pistols were associated mainly with long-range metallic silhouette shooting. Magnum handgun cartridges offered a good amount of up-close knock-down power where steel pigs and rams were concerned, but at 100 yards and beyond, they were found to be lacking. Indeed, it’s hard to beat the ballistic performance of a good rifle round. The Model 2020 Heatseeker Pistol in .308 Win. offers shooters a uniquely capable bolt-action pistol with impressive power. I’d secretly wondered why the product category wasn’t more common. To me, the benefits of a “go anywhere” precision platform seemed self-evident. I’m happy to report that over the last 20 years, a good number of shooters seem to have come around to my way of thinking. Far more than a niche product, the bolt-action pistol now curries favor with handgun hunters, shadetree ballisticians, those wanting a capable rig that can be stowed in a compact bag or case — and of course, anyone who desires a different shooting experience from the same-’ol, same-’ol. The Heatseeker pistol features a Sharps Brothers chassis and offers the capabilities of a bolt-action rifle in a much smaller…
