What ChatGPT got wrong, despite passing part of a medical licensing exam. Researchers at Western University in Ontario, Canada, gave ChatGPT case info and the results weren’t pretty.

🖼️ Just Imagen it: Google just released its Imagen 3 text-to-image generator via ImageFX. The AI tool whips up photorealistic images based on prompts you type in, and now it’s better with details. It can even get generated text right, so “Happy birthday, Kim” won’t come out looking like a garbled mess.
Privacy at risk: With companies like Neuralink capturing brain data, biological privacy laws are coming. Colorado is leading the charge, expanding “sensitive data” to include “biological data” under its Consumer Protection Act. But how can lawmakers protect us from tech that’s still a mystery? We know by now we can’t count on tech companies to be transparent about what they collect.
Help from afar: Samsung’s new Family Care service helps caregivers keep tabs on loved ones remotely. Set reminders, manage appointments, and get alerts when they arrive or leave a location. Plus, it lets you control smart devices like the stove or check the fridge for groceries. Fine print: Galaxy phones only. Yep, it’s free. Find it in the Life tab on the SmartThings app.
Math teachers have too many problems: One high school is swapping teachers for AI. A group of 15-year-olds will use ChatGPT and large language models (LLMs) to prep for math, biology and English exams. The school says kids will learn at their own pace and ask questions they’d usually hold back on. I really hope they double-check AI answers.

Size matters: Jeff Bezos took a break sailing around in his $435 million yacht to show off New Glenn, one of the largest rockets ever built. At 320 feet tall, it’s bigger than the Statue of Liberty! Watch this vid at Bezos’ Blue Origin factory in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
