Top CDC Officials Resign After Director Is Pushed Out
The exodus has set off alarms among staff at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: “My main concern is they will be replaced with puppets."
I’m always curious about other blog hosts' pricing. With Typepad shutting down, I took a screenshot of their pricing page. One of the most confusing, “why would I upgrade to Premium or Enterprise?” set of plans.

OpenAI has a long blog post about what more needs to be done to make ChatGPT safer, especially for teens:
We’re also exploring making it possible for teens (with parental oversight) to designate a trusted emergency contact. That way, in moments of acute distress, ChatGPT can do more than point to resources: it can help connect teens directly to someone who can step in.
I didn’t realize it could already escalate potential criminal behavior to human review, so that’s good. In the future will OpenAI need a team of real therapists on call? Using AI as a therapist will have many repercussions.

I uploaded a photo of the door hanger to ChatGPT and asked it to create a ZIP file of calendar invites for each event.

Last week, my country’s far-right administration announced they were establishing an “America by Design” initiative, along with a so-called National Design Studio to oversee it. That studio will, to quote its own homepage, “improve how Americans experience their government — online, in person, and the spaces in between.” After seeing the announcement, I read through the “America by Design” web page.
