“Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels. These results raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM reliance and underscore the need for deeper inquiry into AI's role in learning.”

It is such an irony that humans evolved to find enough energy for our relatively large brains, and now we have to use our brains to manage caloric intake and motivate exercise! @ilarimakela.bsky.social

If there is one professional group in the country that has built credibility through their policy recommendations and personal care, it is pediatricians.

Agree!: "Giannis loves Milwaukee. I love Milwaukee. Milwaukee kind of sucks. Not because of the people, or even the weather. Milwaukee has been made to suck—following Scott Walker and the Republican Party’s Koch-headed ascension to a near-decade of hegemony in Wisconsin politics . . ."

If I were the owner of the @washingtonpost.com, I would not do a deal with the people who dismembered my columnist. Seems like a low bar, but Bezos managed to not clear yet another one. The world is awash in capital and that this is the choice should tell you all.

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey.

Beyond the focus of this article, but I see the show highlighting the grief of parents, the guilt they experience and the limits of their control (existential concerns dramatized by an extreme situation, great characters and acting).
