This is why OpenAI is selling so aggressively to education at all levels—they want to create entire generations of users incapable of reading, writing and thinking without ChatGPT to hold their hands
And teachers and professors should call this out for what it actually is

To bear out this rosy projection, HSBC assumes that OpenAI will become "as ubiquitous [...] as Microsoft 365" (345mm users worldwide) while bringing in 10x the number of users (3bn).

Canada is leading in safety with the new draft of the CSA standard on respirators.

The CSA’s revised standard on respirators should help us all breathe easier
New draft standards for respirator use recognize the importance of protecting workers and patients in health-care settings, where there is a higher risk of pathogen exposure

Considering the risks COVID poses to infants and mothers, it’s astounding that obstetricians warn their patients about sushi but not about the airborne pathogen that shall not be named. The institutional denial runs deep and is costing us dearly.
My cousin,
who is trying to have a baby
says she is making changes:
she’s giving up caffeine
and alcohol,
she’s giving up sushi
or aspirin,
but she said “no”
when I asked if she would
start wearing a mask again
for it unfortunately seems
she isn’t giving up catching Covid.

This is just nuts. A person showed up with bromism, a condition that was probably last seen in the early 80s, because a chatbot suggested bromide salt as an alternative to table salt.
