L.A. Chef Says His Jewish Deli Is a ‘Culinary Multi-State Solution’

L.A. Chef Says His Jewish Deli Is a ‘Culinary Multi-State Solution’

Chef Eric Greenspan, the seasoned L.A. restaurateur who often materializes on the food TV circuit, has debuted Mish, his modern update on the classic Jewish deli in Mid City. “I’ve always been jealous of chefs who’ve explored their own personal culinary memories as children and their own family culinary traditions,” says the James Beard Foundation finalist. “I’ve never done that in my career — until now.” Greenspan has cooked under the likes of Alain Ducasse, Ferran Adria and Joachim Splichal. He’s also been a disciple since childhood of delicatessens. Or, as he puts it, “a student of the game,” studying during pilgrimages to the likes of Katz’s in Manhattan. But, Greenspan insists, they’re a genre in need of an overhaul for the appetites of younger generations. “I’m cooking for 20-, 30- and 40-year-olds and their kids — not 60-, 70- and 80-year-olds.” “I love the legacy Jewish delis: I stand on the shoulders of giants,” he says. “But not much has changed in the past 65 years. And yet the perception of Jewish food has …

The Agentic Reckoning: Enterprise AI organizations have a runtime problem, not a model problem — and most are building the wrong solution

The Agentic Reckoning: Enterprise AI organizations have a runtime problem, not a model problem — and most are building the wrong solution

In Q1 2026, VentureBeat’s Pulse Research surfaced the “Governance Mirage”: the gap between the governance org charts enterprises had drawn and the control layers they had actually built. Forty-three percent said a central team owned AI governance; 23% couldn’t agree on who owned it at all; and 31% named vendor opacity as the single biggest obstacle. This new wave of research asks the next question: Once you’ve admitted the governance problem, what breaks first when you try to fix it? The answer from our respondents is unambiguous. The failure point is not the model. It’s the runtime. Enterprises are discovering that AI agents built on stateless infrastructure — Python scripts, LangChain chains, ad hoc orchestration — cannot survive the operational realities of production. Container restarts erase context. Token costs breach business cases. Hallucinations in Step 3 compound into catastrophic failures by Step 12. And the majority of engineering teams are spending more time managing this “plumbing” than building the intelligence that was supposed to justify the investment. What emerges from this survey is a picture …

Is There a Solution to the Problem of Moral Luck?

Is There a Solution to the Problem of Moral Luck?

Published: May 31, 2026written by Simon Lea, PhD Philosophy Summary Moral judgments often conflict with the principle that people should only be blamed for what they can control. Identical negligent actions can receive vastly different moral blame based purely on their lucky or unlucky outcomes. The problem may not be moral luck itself, but our emotional need to blame people for tragic events. Four types of luck—constitutive, circumstantial, resultant, and causal—deeply and unfairly influence our moral assessments of others. Show more   What role should luck play in our moral judgments? For most of us, the answer is surely zero. Luck, by definition, is something we have no control over. It is unjust to blame a person for something over which they had no control. The problem of moral luck reveals that things over which we have no control may be more prevalent in our moral evaluations than is commonly believed. If this is the case, then much of our moral condemnation is unjust. In this article, we look to see if this is the case.   Moral Praise and …

A Catholic solution to gender bias in AI

A Catholic solution to gender bias in AI

(RNS) — The widespread analyses of Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas,” overlook one thing: Artificial intelligence is inherently male.  Most people think of AI as a tool to summarize information through what are called large language models. The problem: LLMs are trained by men, and most of the data and information available has been created by men. Most of the programmers teaching AI to “think” are men. So, AI decision-making and prediction behaviors are essentially male. No wonder the pope has called for “disarmament” of AI. Men go to war. The world is a mess. Can AI help? Maybe yes. Maybe no. These are Pope Leo’s answers in “Magnifica Humanitas,” which he released on Monday (May 25) along with three cardinals, two female professors and Christopher Olah, co-founder of the AI giant Anthropic. Olah specializes in reverse engineering neural networks at Anthropic. That means he looks inside the machine, as it were, trying to understand how it learns, how it “thinks,” how it makes decisions. But almost everything he studies comes from the male …

Iran Says It Has “No Trust” In US, Insists There Is “No Military Solution”

Iran Says It Has “No Trust” In US, Insists There Is “No Military Solution”

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Friday that Tehran has “no trust” in the United States and remains interested in negotiations only if Washington demonstrates seriousness, as talks aimed at ending the war remain stalled. Speaking to Indian media during the second day of the BRICS foreign ministers meeting in New Delhi, Araghchi said military initiatives are ineffective in resolving regional crises, Turkey Today reported. “There is no military solution, and the U.S. must understand this reality,” Araghchi said, according to a statement shared by Iran’s Foreign Ministry. “They cannot achieve their goals through military action, but the situation would be different if they pursue diplomacy,” he added. Araghchi also said the United States and Israel had “tested” Iran at least twice during the conflict. The Iranian foreign minister said one of the main obstacles during negotiations with Washington has been inconsistent messaging from American officials. Araghchi said contradictory statements, interviews and communications from U.S. officials created deep mistrust between the two sides. Iran has repeatedly accused Washington of pursuing diplomacy publicly while supporting military pressure against …

Trump’s .5 trillion military budget may be a solution in search of a problem

Trump’s $1.5 trillion military budget may be a solution in search of a problem

In late April, President Donald Trump requested a record-breaking $1.5 trillion defense budget, which, if approved, would mark the largest ever increase in Department of Defense funding. It remains an open question whether or not the priorities outlined in the budget even make sense, especially in light of lessons from the ongoing Iran war, and whether the military spending is worth the cuts it will necessitate elsewhere in government. The proposed budget comes in the wake of recent comments from the president indicating that he believes that military readiness, rather than the wellbeing of the American people, should be the budgetary priority of the government. “Don’t send any money for daycare, because the United States can’t take care of daycare. That has to be up to a state. We can’t take care of daycare. We’re a big country. We have 50 states. We have all these other people. We’re fighting wars. We can’t take care of daycare. You got to let a state take care of daycare, and they should pay for it too,” Trump …

Still no sign of a solution in Iran: US president says war will be over soon – The Debate

Still no sign of a solution in Iran: US president says war will be over soon – The Debate

Donald Trump again says the Iran war will be over “soon”. The US president has said this in some way, shape or form a number of times in recent days. Yet there’s still no solution on the horizon in the Middle East. On March 9, Trump said the war was “very complete, pretty much”. On March 24, he reportedly said the US and Israel had “won” the war. On April 14, in a Fox Business interview, Trump said the war was “very close to being over.” On April 16, CBS reported Trump again saying the conflict was “very close to over.” On May 1, in a letter to Congress, the US president declared the hostilities had “terminated.” On May 7, Trump said there was a “very good chance” the war was nearing an end and spoke optimistically about peace negotiations. This Thursday, there is word of a 14-point memorandum being under consideration by Tehran. Key in the demands being made by Washington is a moratorium on Iran’s enrichment of uranium. In return, there would be …
