Vaccines have been rolling out in the U.S. at a blistering pace. But records aren’t being kept digitally as to who has received a dose. The only way right now that someone can prove their protection is with the issued paper vaccine cards.

Can ChatGPT guess your age? Sort of. Sam Altman says there’s a pattern in how different age groups interact with the bot. People in their 20s and 30s often ask for life advice, while college students treat it like an all-in-one assistant. As for anyone over 45? It’s a Google replacement to ask questions.
Is AI making us dumber? Maybe. A Microsoft study found AI tools hurt our critical thinking skills. Some people are so dependent on AI responses, they stop questioning things.
