Most people in their 30s-40s consider themselves young although this age group was labeled as middle aged decades back. Is this about slower ageing? Maybe not. The increase in median age has never been this fast. A 35yo was above median in the 1980s and well below it today in developed countries!

A proposed bill in the US would allow AI to be classified as a "practitioner licensed by law" to prescribe certain FDA-approved drugs (section 503(b) of FFDCA). Although it's still several steps away from implementation, it's a significant milestone. www.mobihealthnews.com/news/propose...

An advantage of the recent pandemic is that one can easily judge a candidate for a public health position. "But it could make the difference between an epidemic that kills 20,000 and one that kills 2 million." wrote Jay Bhattacharya on 24/03/2020 fsi.stanford.edu/news/coronav...

www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/h... "Doctors who were given ChatGPT-4 along with conventional resources did only slightly better than doctors who did not have access to the bot. And, to the researchers’ surprise, ChatGPT alone outperformed the doctors." Models use clinical data as training data,so how?

ChatGPT and Bard are bad at some tasks, but I think they are great productivity tools in my line of work. I like to create my own graphs in LaTeX for teaching, but it's very time-consuming. ChatGPT effectively halves the work time. It also makes creating tables a lot easier.
