Earlier this week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention abruptly changed the childhood immunization schedule, reducing the number of recommended shots for all children from 18 down to only 11.According to the new schedule, shots will now be categorized in three groups: those recommended for all children, those recommended for only certain high-risk children and others left up to shared clinical decision making, meaning only given if recommended by an individual’s doctor or based on parental preference.Some pediatricians told ABC News that this decision will only cause more confusion and fuel a growing trend of vaccine skepticism and refusal…
A few times a week, Jonathan Freidin, a medical malpractice attorney in Miami, says he’ll notice that people will fill out his firm’s client contact sheet with text littered with emojis and headings. That’s a telltale sign that they copied and pasted from ChatGPT. Other clients will say they’ve “done a lot of research” on their potential case using AI. “We’re seeing a lot more callers who feel like they have a case because ChatGPT or Gemini told them that the doctors or nurses fell below the standard of care in multiple different ways,” Friedin tells me. “While that may…

This past weekend, the internet was set ablaze by a post on r/Confessions claiming to be from a software engineer-turned-whistleblower working at a food delivery app. “I’m posting this from a library wi-fi on a burner laptop because I am technically under a massive NDA,” wrote the purported Deep Throat. “You guys always suspect the algorithms are rigged against you, but the reality is so much more depressing than the conspiracy theories.”The poster then went on to make a series of claims about the exploitation of both workers and customers at the unnamed company. Delivery drivers, they said, were called…

Meta’s $2 billion acquisition of AI assistant platform Manus is unsurprisingly caught in a regulatory tug-of-war — but not because of U.S. regulators. They appear assured that the deal is legitimate despite earlier misgivings about Benchmark’s investment in Manus. China’s regulators, however, are reportedly not quite as sanguine, according to the Financial Times. When Benchmark led a financing round for Manus earlier this year, the investment sparked immediate controversy. U.S. Senator John Cornyn complained about the deal on X, and the investment prompted inquiries from the U.S. Treasury Department around new rules restricting American investment in Chinese AI companies.
