Meeting a new group of scientific colleagues and hearing that many of them regularly and enthusiastically use chatGPT, for a variety of tasks professional and otherwise, has made me feel insane and sad.

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...
