more and more convinced of the need for a sort of plastic surgery norm around Gen AI: it’s fine in of itself to use, any use of it where it’s clear to a layman that you used it should face severe ostracism. If you can’t get away with it without me knowing, you aren’t responsible enough to use it

Purple Heart Army veteran self-deports after nearly 50 years in the U.S.

A major insurance company announced that it would be reducing reimbursements for anesehtiemsiologists.
This sparked outrage, as many people -- including a U.S. senator -- claimed that this would lead to surprise out-of-pocket expenses for patients. But that was not true. www.vox.com/policy/39003...
