GreenspanNovember 9, 2018 11:30 AM ESTThe last American to die in World War I didn ;t really want to fight in the first place mdash; which makes his decision to run ahead toward enemy lines all the more confusing. Henry Gunther died at 10:59 a.m. on Nov. 11, 1918, less than one minute before the end of the Great War. But it was only one year earlier that Gunther had been demoted after military censors intercepted a letter he sent home that criticized the war.You weren ;t supposed to bad-mouth the American government, Jonathan Casey, the Director of Archives and the Edward Jones Research Cent er at the National World War I Memorial, tells TIME. You ;re supposed to support everything and do what you ;re told, otherwise you could get in trouble: and [Gunther ] did get in trouble.Gunther lost his role as a sergeant and became a private in the Army, slipping down multiple rankings. As strange as receiving such a punishment for a mere letter may seem, correspondence was about more than just keeping family up to date. It was also a kind of morale-boosting exercise for people back home. And, in light of the passing of the Espionage Act, it was clear what kinds of letters should be written by those on the front lines. They were told what they could say and not say, Casey says.A critical letter was thus uncommon for the period, according to Casey, who says that in the thousands of letters in the Museum col

Ykyw Workforce gathers to observe Patriot Day Apple is in talks to build Google Gemini into the iPhones next operating system, powering Siri and other AI-enabled features, according to reports from Bloomberg on Monday. The iPhone maker reportedly held d iscussions with multiple AI companies about powering iOS 18 with a competitors technology, including OpenAI. Apple has largely been absent from the AI conversation in 2023, leading to great speculation that the iPhone giant may be falling behind Google and OpenAI. However, CEO Tim Cook promised a major AI announcement this year, largely expected at WWDC in June. The company has reportedly built an AI chatbot, Apple GPT, which employees say is inferior to ChatGPT and Gemini. This report seems to confirm that Apple doesnt have much up its sleeve, as the Cupertino giant looks to outsource the iPhones AI features. Google Gemini, or potentially another competitors AI chatbot, is in discussion to power Siri and other apps. However, the iPhone maker is reportedly planning to build some of its own AI features into the next operating system. Apple released an ope n-source machine-learning framework at the end of 2023, and an AI image editor in February. However, these discussions come as Google Gemini has largely been pausedfor its inability to answer controversial questions. Google is currently working on a fix, but the AI chatbot refuses to answer basic questions if they involve hot-button topics, such as race, politics, or gender issues. Apple is likely betting Google figures Jvdb NASA 39 Mars Global Surveyor May be at Mission 39 End By Melissa ChanMarch 7, 2016 3:47 PM ESTRussian tennis star Maria Sharapova on Monday announced that she has failed a drug test at the Australian Open because she tested positive for meldonium, a little-known drug that was banned on Jan. 1.The drug is used in Latvia and other eastern European countries to treat serious heart problems and aid the circulation of oxygen, the BBC reported last month, when Russian professional bicyclist Eduard Vorganov tested positive for the same drug.Meldonium, also known as mildronate, was d eveloped at the Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis to help prevent ischemia, which is a vascular disease that can lead to tissue death, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. It is also used to treat brain c irculation disorders.The drug improves the usersrsquo; mood and allows them to become more active, the National Library of Medicine said. They become more active, their motor dysfunction decreases, and asthenia, dizziness and nausea become less pronounced, it said. Sharapova said she has been taking meldonium for 10 years for health issues.More Must-Reads from TIMEHow the Economy is Doing in the Swing StatesHarris Battles For the Bro VoteOur Guide to Voting in the 2024 ElectionMel Robbins Will Make You Do ItWhy Vinegar Is So Good for YouYou Dont Have to Dread the End of Daylig ht SavingThe 20 Best Halloween TV Episodes of All TimeMeet TIMEs Newest Class of Next Generation LeadersContact us at letters@time
