Seventy-one percent of Americans believe artificial intelligence (AI) development is progressing too quickly, according to a new YouGov poll published by The Economist. The poll indicates that 51% of respondents feel the pace of AI evolution is faster than they expected. Concerns are rising regarding AI’s impacts on the workforce, particularly for low-paid workers who may face job displacement, while high earners and technology companies are perceived to benefit more. The findings also suggest that 64% of respondents doubt that the benefits of AI will be widespread, with only 8% believing it is “very likely” that everyone will benefit. In another aspect of the research, a Quinnipiac University poll revealed that 63% of Americans expect AI to reduce job availability in the future, alongside a mere 35% expressing trust in the technology. Moreover, 55% of families with a combined income of $50,000 or less reported being worried about job replacement due to AI. The study also notes significant resistance to working under AI supervision, with 80% of respondents indicating they would not accept jobs where AI agents serve as direct supervisors. There is a prevailing sentiment among the population that businesses and the government must enhance transparency and regulation concerning AI technologies; 76% feel that companies are insufficiently transparent, while 74% believe the government should take more regulatory action. Associate Professor Tamilla Triantoro acknowledged that Americans are not outright rejecting AI, but they express concerns about uncertainty, lack of trust, and insufficient regulation. Axios pointed to an emerging “AI hate wave,” driven by fears of job losses and socioeconomic impacts stemming from escalating wealth concentration and environmental issues. Significant local opposition against data center projects has also surfaced due to concerns related to high water usage, power demands, and infrastructure strain, which has led to increased utility costs. Former President Trump previously urged technology companies to “pay their own way” to alleviate potential burdens on American citizens. The findings highlight a growing unease regarding the relationship between rapid AI innovation and regulatory frameworks. Experts suggest that businesses need to prioritize earning public trust, which may require sacrificing certain aspects of innovation while governments face mounting pressure to address the socioeconomic impacts of AI.

Warhorse Studios, the team behind the critically acclaimed Kingdom Come Deliverance, has announced its next two projects. Yes, a third Kingdom Come game is being planned, but beyond that, the studio is also now working on a Lord of the Rings RPG. In a surprise announcement this week, Warhorse Studios took to social media to tease its next two projects, with one being “a new Kingdom Come adventure” and the other being “an open world Middle-Earth RPG”. Unfortunately, no further details have been shared yet but fans are already speculating about the wording. The phrasing ‘Middle-Earth RPG' indicates that we will be getting a game set within the LOTR universe, but not directly connected to the story from the books, similarly to how Warner Bros. handled Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War. Additionally “a new Kingdom Come adventure” is not direct confirmation of Kingdom Come Deliverance 3, so there is some speculation that we may get a spin-off of sorts, or perhaps a Kingdom Come game set in a new genre, rather than a direct sequel to the RPGs released so far. Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE. KitGuru Says: Warhorse Studios is perhaps the perfect pick for a new Lord of the Rings game. The Kingdom Come games were highly impressive, so it will be interesting to see what they come up with in a few years' time. The post Kingdom Come studio now working on LOTR RPG first appeared on KitGuru.

A classroom at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School in South Salt Lake City, Utah, on March 12, 2024. (Photo by Spenser Heaps/Utah News Dispatch)WASHINGTON — The U.S. House passed a bill Wednesday that would require parental consent before a public elementary or middle school can update a student’s pronouns, gender markers or preferred name on records in order to receive federal funding. The measure — which succeeded 217-198 — would also bar federal funding under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 that provides federal aid to schools from being used “to teach or advance concepts related to gender ideology.” Eight Democrats broke ranks with their party to vote for the Republican-led effort, including: Reps. Vicente Gonzalez and Henry Cuellar of Texas, Don Davis of North Carolina, Cleo Fields of Louisiana, Laura Gillen of New York, Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington state and Eugene Vindman of Virginia. Fifteen House members did not vote. Parental consent The bill would also require schools to get permission from parents before changing “sex-based accommodations” to allow a student to access a locker room or bathroom consistent with their gender identity. Rep. Tim Walberg, chair of the House Committee on Education and Workforce, said during floor debate the measure “takes monumental strides to restore parental rights and educational sanity.” The bill “affirms the right of parents to be in charge of their children’s upbringing and ensures schools remain partners in a child’s education” and “also establishes clear guardrails to ensure taxpayer dollars are used to support learning, not indoctrinate kids in radical ideology and agendas,” the Michigan Republican added. Walberg led the bill alongside Rep. Burgess Owens, a Utah Republican who brought forth a separate measure that was later looped in and bars the use of federal funds “to teach or advance concepts related to gender ideology.” The bill draws on a definition of “gender ideology” in a January 2025 executive order signed by President Donald Trump. The order defines “gender ideology” as “the idea that there is a vast spectrum of genders that are disconnected from one’s sex.” GLAAD, an LGBTQ+ advocacy group, noted in a fact sheet that “gender ideology” is “an inaccurate term deployed by opponents to undermine and dehumanize transgender and nonbinary people.” House Dems, LGBTQ+ advocacy groups blast bill Rep. Bobby Scott, ranking member of the House Education and Workforce panel, blasted the measure during floor debate, saying it would “impose a rigid federal mandate that ignores context, disregards students’ safety and prioritizes politics over people.” The Virginia Democrat noted that the bill “bars any discussion of transgender people or topics in the classroom, including “banning books with transgender characters” or discussing “the existence of transgender people.” Scott noted that the bill “takes away state and local control of curriculum on education — the very thing that the current administration claims they’re giving back to states by illegally dismantling the Department of Education.” Fears students will be outed Rep. Mark Takano, chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus, criticized the legislation ahead of floor debate as the “Don’t say trans bill.” The California Democrat told States Newsroom he was concerned the measure would force school officials to out students to their parents, regardless of whether the official knew the student could suffer harm. Takano, who also sits on the House education panel, also expressed concern that in the case where parents are supportive of their child using different pronouns, “if the teacher uses a different pronoun, that could be interpreted as ‘promoting gender ideology.’” He said “we can’t discount that this administration will use a maximalist interpretation of the law, which would make even the case where” a student with supportive parents of trans children “could not go by the preferred nickname.” David Stacy, vice president of government affairs for the Human Rights Campaign, condemned the bill as “cruel” and noted the LGBTQ+ advocacy group was “prepared to fight it,” in a statement shared with States Newsroom ahead of the vote. “Trans kids are not a political agenda — they are students who deserve safety and affirmation at school like anyone else,” Stacy added. “Despite the many pressing issues facing our nation, House Republicans continue their bizarre obsession with trans people,” he said.

ABSTRACT Objective To update the evidence regarding the diagnostic accuracy of eating disorder (ED) questionnaires in adolescents and adults with higher weight. Method Five databases were systematically searched from 2020 to November 2025 (CRD420251186115). Included studies reported on the diagnostic accuracy of self-report questionnaires against a clinical interview to identify EDs and disordered eating behaviors (DEBs) in adolescents and adults with higher weight. Narrative synthesis was conducted, and findings from new studies were synthesized alongside previously identified studies. Results Thirty-two studies (5 new) were included, reporting on the diagnostic accuracy of 13 questionnaires in adults and 5 in adolescents. The diagnostic accuracy of questionnaires was examined to identify any ED (5 questionnaires in adults, 0 adolescents), binge-eating disorder (8 adult, 2 adolescent), DEBs (e.g., binge eating, purging) (4 adult, 1 adolescent), loss-of-control eating (1 adult, 2 adolescent), bulimia nervosa, atypical anorexia nervosa, purging disorder, and night eating syndrome (each n = 1 adult, 0 adolescent). The Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (7 studies; sensitivity 0.16–0.88; specificity 0.54–1.0), Binge Eating Scale (6 studies; sensitivity 0.37–0.98; specificity 0.48–0.96), and Questionnaire on Eating and Weight Patterns (6 studies; sensitivity 0.07–1.0; specificity 0.0–1.0) were most used. Discussion Progress in evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of ED questionnaires in people with higher weight has been limited. There remains a lack of evidence regarding the diagnostic accuracy of questionnaires in adolescents and a lack of sufficiently sensitive questionnaires to identify EDs other than binge-eating disorder. Assessing the diagnostic accuracy of questionnaires in people with higher weight remains a research priority.

Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is marked by pervasive uncertainty due to fluctuating motor and non-motor symptoms, variable treatment response, and an unpredictable clinical course. Intolerance of uncertainty (IU), a tendency to perceive ambiguity as threatening and respond with worry, avoidance, or decisional paralysis, may be consequential in PD, yet lacks a PD-focused synthesis. Objective To synthesize conceptual, qualitative, and emerging quantitative literature on IU in idiopathic PD, describe clinical and psychosocial correlates across the illness trajectory, and identify implications for assessment and intervention. Methods This targeted narrative review searched MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, PsycINFO, and Web of Science from inception to May 22, 2025, supplemented by reference screening and Parkinson's disease conference or guidance sources. English-language empirical and clinically informative papers addressing intolerance of uncertainty (IU) or closely related uncertainty constructs in adults with idiopathic PD and/or care partners were appraised at title/abstract and full-text levels, then charted for narrative synthesis. Results Across qualitative, quantitative, intervention, and clinical review/guidance papers, symptom unpredictability, treatment uncertainty, identity disruption, shame, and future-planning concerns were linked with anxiety, demoralization, avoidance, reduced participation, and poorer quality of life. Conclusion IU may be a modifiable, common underlying pathway through which PD-related unpredictability, potentially influenced by dopaminergic, executive, and stress-system vulnerabilities, contributes to sustained psychological and functional burden. Advancing PD-sensitive measurement and testing IU-targeted interventions within multidisciplinary care models may improve adjustment and quality of life for patients and caregivers.

Abstract Background Motor resonance, driven by the mirror neuron system, activates brain regions during action observation similarly to execution. Pattern of activation has been shown to be driven by the motor repertoire in conditions like Parkinson's disease and dystonia, but remains unexamined in functional weakness, a common phenotype of functional motor disorder. Objectives To investigate motor resonance by assessing corticospinal excitability modulation in patients with upper limb functional weakness during the observation of actions within their motor repertoire versus actions no longer executable due to their disorder. Methods In this exploratory study, 19 adult patients with functional weakness and 21 healthy controls observed videos of hand movements—index finger abduction and power grip—performed with strong or weak force. Single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation targeted the primary motor cortex, with motor-evoked potentials recorded from first dorsal interosseous (FDI) and abductor digiti minimi (ADM) muscles. Results In healthy controls, corticospinal excitability increased significantly in the FDI during strong abduction compared to “static” (P = 0.013) and “weak” (P = 0.027) conditions, and during both “weak” (P = 0.002) and “strong” (P = 0.032) power grips compared to baseline. Conversely, patients with functional weakness showed no significant modulation across any condition. Compared to controls, patients exhibited reduced excitability during strong actions in both FDI (abduction; P = 0.03) and ADM (power grip; P = 0.029). Conclusions Functional weakness patients demonstrated altered force-dependent motor resonance, suggesting a disruption in the motor system's ability to internally simulate actions, particularly those requiring high muscular contraction. These findings may inform future rehabilitation strategies leveraging action observation in functional motor disorders.
