Think Twice Before Creating That ChatGPT Action Figure
People are using ChatGPT’s new image generator to take part in viral social media trends. But using it also puts your privacy at risk—unless you take a few simple steps to protect yourself.

Dr. Josephine Baker fought for milk testing in lower Manhattan over a century ago, where babies were 7 times more likely to die than WWI US soldiers in the trenches. Milk was often adulterated with chalk and germ-y water. Today the FDA stopped testing milk due to lack of staff. Shame on you, Trump.

A middle grade fantasy based on Yoruba spirits. Plenty of action, with themes of trust, friendship and family, and the underdog winning through. It lends itself very well to being a class novel read aloud. #kidlituk 💙📚

We have gotten indications that SB412, which would criminalize educators including librarians, will go to the Tx Senate floor for a vote TOMORROW. Action alert: Please call today and tell your Tx Senator not to remove educators from protections! ☎️
Say no to Texas SB13 and SB412. Our students need us more than ever.

Also, being free is why OpenAI is going bankrupt...which is why they're pushing so hard to sell products to Education. Schools will pay a lot of money based on almost no evaluation to integrate edtech into our systems in such a way thay it's almost impossible to later remove. We're a cash cow.
Why is ChatGPT free? Why is any online service free? Because *we* are the product. Our data hand delivered by us to these corps, our “queries” directly teaching this product. This “magic write ✨” iteration of AI ain’t it, and I implore all library minded folks to not get sucked in to the hype 📚
