It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

This lurid headline is about British tourists no longer getting away with overstaying in Schengen. Or being 'illegals', as it's often called in the UK.

A Baptist minister has been arrested in Oxford for holding a placard reading ‘I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action’. Rev Grote of New Road Baptist Church said ‘I am doing this because of my faith. I’m doing this because I’m a follower of Jesus Christ, who broke the rules and created peace.’

I always enjoy reading the TripAdvisor London Forum because I'm fascinated to see what foreign tourists expect, what they ask about and what surprises them. I thought this post from someone from Texas was a really lovely and cheering comment about riding the tube late at night

I'm trying to think of the last time a politician made me belly laugh and I'm honestly not sure it ever happened. He's magnificent.
Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.
But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.
See you soon, NYC.

Because it is just guessing what it should say based on what's been said before. It doesn't actually know anything. It just goes, this is the mostly likely answer 🤯
Typos, gender-neutral pronouns and even emotional language in patient messages make large language models more likely to recommend people stay home instead of seek medical care.
This AI bias could be especially problematic for certain patient populations. 🧪
