I am unemployed right now and have a “sick note” due to mental health issues I developed as a result of an unethical employer mishandling my ASD diagnosis. A job literally made me too sick to even look for work for the rest of the year. Think on that.

Yes we are.
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Intelligence is no longer tied to the ability to get informed. It’s drifting away from truthfulness. We’re told the issue is stupid people being misinformed. It isn’t. When intelligent people are widely misinformed, the culture is in deeper trouble.
