After 9,000 Microsoft employees were laid off earlier this week, an XBox executive producer shared some Copilot & ChatGPT prompts the recently laid off could use to deal with their job loss.

Great video from @businessinsider.com main takeaways for me:

NEW: updated long-run gap in voting between young men and women in Germany:
