I'm so interested in this idea of chain migration and what avenues people use to do it. Like is it because there are existing pathways like physically,m or just rumour brings people to the same place.

Another option for a follow-up article could be to delve into these categories; it would be interesting to see what differences, if any, exist regarding AI application in secondary education contexts.

I think that this, as one of the three points of interest identified in this study, is a key point. It is important for students to be able to use and adapt technology in any field. While AI may have negatives, I would argue it is more important to find effective ways to integrate it into the classroom instead of just hoping students will not use it.

I presume the implication is that in instances where students cannot engage in a face-to-face classroom experience, AI may be able to help with learning and answer questions on-demand. However, I definitely think this presents an equal number of challenges as it does opportunities--as AI is known to have "hallucinations" and cite nonexistent sources or present false information, how would students be able to verify what they read? Will students using AI in these contexts undermine research skills? How can these challenges be combated?

While I agree that this article is timely, I wonder how research into this topic will evolve over time since it is still relatively new. I think this leaves room for follow up once more data can be collected and the long-term implications can be more clearly determined.

I think this sentence is a key point and introduces why this is a relevant and necessary topic of study for education.

I think AI has definitely become an important consideration in the classroom regardless of subject area. As with the introduction of more affordable handheld calculators into schools, I think teachers will have to make room for AI so that students can learn to use it appropriately and effectively as a tool, as opposed to a substitute, for learning.

I am curious as to how the authors of this study measured this--a major concern regarding AI usage is that it might prove detrimental to critical thinking skills, in particular.

I understand these are features of the two visual aid formats, but I wonder how the color coding or, most importantly, the interactive element of the skeleton concept maps might've affected the findings. Might be useful to discuss this (if not mentioned in the limitations)

Interested in justification for the duration before the delayed post test. Why 3 days and not a week or more?

Might be useful to include a few lines justifying the wash-out period for this study specifically. What unique factors about podcasts or the included visual aids that might necessitate wash-out?

Would appreciate more information about the tool and process of feedback

Would help to mention it earlier as well

Well done. I love the color coding and skeleton element

Nicely done and written!

My question would be: Any reliability testing done? Especially since the study has multiple iterations- how might the presence of test-retest reliability affect your interpretation of the findings?

Good call

Might be helpful to include the graph at the beginning of the section as an overview and a chance to set reader expectations

Where did the sample come from? is it from the rest of the batch (those who were not included?) or a different university?

Curious how these are usually taught in the curriculum

+If known, what sort of need assessment was originally done to include those topics in the curriculum?

This is mentioned in later sections, but might be helpful to state clearly if it was designed by the researcher from scratch or adapted/modified from any other source

Adding a bit more about why the author thinks the intervention would affect CT specifically would greatly strengthen the rational

++

I'm curious, any data on the effect of audio-only podcasts (without visual aids) on critical skills?

The introduction mentions that the podcasts' potential in developing critical thinking is unexplored more than once- and a comparison between supplementing podcasts with either assumes effectiveness. Would love to see data tackling that point or at least a discussion of it

If the accessible population is 110 and the minimum target sample is 94, why did the author choose random sampling over purposive whole-population sampling?

Very informative graph.

-Recommend editing the position of "immediate" and "Delayed" tests as it currently appears to associate with Groups A and B

-The graph implies there's more cross over after Round two. Recommend editing it to clarify.

-Might also be used to add your washout period to the graph

-Kindly also connect Pre-test, control variable, and post-test by arrows; and unify the way "Audio podcast - clinical case discussion" is written in rounds 1 and 2

Exclusion criteria are typically factors that may disqualify participants who are otherwise included in the study. With that in mind, what criteria might exclude any of your 4th year students from this study?

Recommend to mention randomization method here or move the sentence to 3.7

Might strengthen the rational section if added there

LEO WTF!?

This is a great policy. Thank you for the flexibility.

This is an example of the development of the empirical method, where scientist start to use more objective such as the usages of examinations or recording devices. Instead of using opinion-based methods to examine mental activities, like Wundt's idea of introspection, James use functionalism to properly focus on how mental activities helped an organism fit into its environment using test and experiments.

Wundt's view of psychology as a study of conscious experience was the start of psychology and I find it really interesting how this one though created the formal beginning of psychology. Wundt's usage of introspection (a process by which someone examines their own conscious experience as objectively as possible) is an early and significant way for Wundt to study the human mind. However, these experiences can be totally subjective from the actual person. How can one's experience be verified by another? I thought that introspection was an unreliable way to study psychology. In addition, Wundt's belief in volunteerism (the concept in which people have free will) will slowly become a more popular idea now. Especially in the present time, many people feel as if they can choose their own path and make their own decisions, rather than their lives being prechosen for them.

In the text even though Sciascia writes that "Many Māori of the diaspora are actively seeking and using virtual media to make and maintain strong connections with their haukāinga" I also believe it is difficult to maintain a genuine connection through social media without "kanohi ki te kanohi", the difficulty is that you do not get to interact on a personal level. It just allows you to feel more connected with human contact.

What really caught my attention here is how Stanford points out that capitalism is both powerful and deeply flawed. It’s impressive that it’s been able to drive innovation and productivity, but also kind of scary how uneven the benefits are. If capitalism depends so much on people’s energy and creativity, what happens when more and more people feel burnt out or left behind by the very system they’re fueling?

This is such a powerful statement because regular people are always taught that the economy is so confusing but in reality it is really not that hard but economists want to be known for having all the answers.

This made me think about how normalized unpaid internships have become, especially for young people trying to enter competitive fields. Is this "hope" of a future job enough to justify free labor? What happens when that hope doesn't ever lead to a job? It feels like a way to bypass labor laws under the premise of gaining experience

This passage made me think differently about how employers really calculate the “cost” of labor—not just by paying wages, but in relation to productivity. I had never considered the term unit labor cost before, and now I see it as a key measurement that drives many decisions about wages and work intensity. Stanford points out that reducing this cost can come from either cutting wages or increasing productivity, which explains why employers might push for faster work or new efficiency measures. If productivity improvements can sometimes benefit workers, how might employers and workers negotiate to balance efficiency gains with fair compensation?

This paragraph really made me think about how much power private firms really have in shaping our day-to-day economic lives, even more so than governments. It’s interesting to consider that political debates about “bad economic management” might be kind of missing the bigger picture since businesses are driving most decisions about investment, production, and employment. An interpretive question I have is: if private companies dominate the economy in this way, what implications does that have for how we think about economic inequality and the ability of government policies to influence everyday life?

This really made me rethink how I’d been using the word “technology.” I used to think that having the latest machines or gadgets automatically counted as new technology, but Stanford points out that it’s actually about knowledge of how to produce something. Understanding this distinction is a good insight moving forward because it shifts the focus from just owning tools to figuring out better ways to use them to be more productive/effective.

I’m curious about the real-world consequences of measuring growth this way. Does focusing on real GDP hide inequality, since aggregate growth doesn’t show how wealth is distributed?

This passage now has me thinking about the idea of profit as a “subtle form of exploitation”. I never thought of it this way but it really is so true. I wonder about the implications of this for modern labor markets, especially with gig work or precarious jobs where workers often have little bargaining power. Also, it’s interesting that Marx predicted capitalism’s breakdown due to both economic instability and political factors.

Stanford is saying economists defend free trade almost like a faith... I think he’s pointing out that their belief doesn’t always match real-life outcomes.

If they see it as fact, how do they respond when workers get hurt by free trade?

With the inclusion of Aboriginal artists I also think that these creations have led to discussions about respectful, authentic representation to promote understanding, sovereignty, and reconciliation. I think it is important for the aboriginal people to be able to express themselves through the lenses of their eyes and what they genuinely went through much rather than someone who just read a story or two.

Control is hard to not crave in the classroom as educators are programmed to "control" their students behaviors and learning. Yet, control suppresses creativity, so with this we must begin to take a different approach.

Traditional teaching does not encourage this, but as I have seen in the classroom, the more you are working alongside the students rather than dumping information and expecting them to understand and demonstrate understanding based on the belief that we must "fill" them with specific knowledge prior to testing, students thrive and their creativity and individualism begins to flourish.

Friere speaks truth here. Education crosses its fingers and hopes that students will be complacent and simply follow the rules they are given. They want them to be vessels for their own words, as teachers are the deliverymen and the students are the recipients. Oh, and if they went against the role given to them and decided to not be passive? Then they are viewed as outsiders, going against the so-called "social norms".

I found this statement to be so true within my own experience in education. Those who are enforcing this banking concept of education are the ones who claim they know what is best for the kids. Yet, many of us in education can see right through this facade and understand it for what it truly is; greed.

Students can reenact teacher behavior (simply copying), and those who make the big decisions in education would be jumping up and down, yelling, "Yes! Great job! You are learning!". Copying and learning are not the same, yet this form of "educating" is highly celebrated.

Unfortunately, I feel this way sometimes with my elementary students. The curriculum can be horribly boring, but we must teach it as it is what is "designed to work", (just to be clear- I am currently rolling my eyes at that statement). We unload all of this content on them to ensure they are "filled" enough to be able to prove their competence during a state test that was probably created by someone who has never stepped foot in the classroom.

These words are just that, words. Students cannot put meaning behind it if they are not given a way to actually CARE about the content, rather than just be listening to someone speak AT them.

Often, teaching is done through the curriculum given to through companies whom profit off of the education of students. The curriculum is based on standards that must be met in order to successfully meet the goal of the grade level or year for that student. Yet, the teachings can be so dry (literally drier than the Sahara Desert), to the point where students often find themselves in a process of "hearing" the words, but not truly developing a conceptual understanding. This is often due to the lifelessness of the words, they have no meaning other than "You must know this!", to the students.

Review coordinated by Life Science Editors Foundation Reviewed by: Dr. Angela Andersen, Life Science Editors Foundation Potential Conflicts of Interest: None

PUNCHLINE This preprint uncovers how embryonic oxygen levels act as a regulatory switch controlling limb development timing in mammals. Using mouse and chick embryos, the authors demonstrate that hindlimb initiation in mammals is delayed due to hypoxia-induced expression of NFKB transcription factors (cRel, Rela) and Hif1a, which repress the limb-initiating gene Tbx4. In contrast, chick embryos in normoxia activate fore- and hindlimbs simultaneously. This oxygen-dependent repression is lifted as placental oxygenation increases, triggering hindlimb EMT and Tbx4 expression. Notably, limb heterochrony is not due to cis-regulatory evolution, but instead arises from differential trans-acting factor expression. The findings reframe heterochrony as an environmentally cued developmental program in placental mammals.

BACKGROUND Heterochrony—alteration in developmental timing—has long been recognized in limb evolution. While birds initiate fore- and hindlimb development simultaneously, mammals typically exhibit delayed hindlimb formation. This developmental delay has been hypothesized to reflect an "energy trade-off" during early embryogenesis. Yet, the molecular mechanisms linking the environment to timing remain unexplored. Zhu et al. provide the first mechanistic insight by identifying oxygen levels and NFKB signaling as modulators of limb timing in mammals.

KEY QUESTION ADDRESSED What molecular and environmental factors underlie the delay in hindlimb development in mammalian embryos compared to avian species?

SUMMARY Using mouse and chick embryos, the authors first demonstrate that mammalian hindlimb development is delayed starting from the earliest stage of limb bud formation—specifically, the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). This delay correlates with delayed expression of the hindlimb-specifying transcription factor Tbx4, but not its upstream activators (Pitx1, Isl1) or its forelimb counterpart (Tbx5). Surprisingly, enhancer-swap experiments rule out differences in Tbx4 cis-regulatory elements as the cause. Instead, bulk RNA-seq and functional screens reveal cRel, a member of the NFKB family, as a repressor of Tbx4 in early mouse hindlimb buds. Further experiments show that cRel and Rela are upregulated by hypoxia, and their expression is suppressed as the embryo transitions to normoxia via placental oxygenation. Culturing mouse embryos in normoxic conditions prematurely induces Tbx4 expression and EMT in the hindlimb. Knockout and overexpression experiments with cRel, Rela, and Hif1a confirm a hypoxia–NFKB–Hif1a–Tbx4 regulatory axis. This mechanism links maternal oxygen levels to developmental timing and may be an adaptive feature of viviparous mammals.

KEY RESULTS Hindlimb EMT and Tbx4 expression are delayed in mice but not chicks * → In mouse embryos, hindlimb EMT is delayed by ~18 hours relative to the forelimb (Figure 1A–B) * → In chick embryos, forelimb and hindlimb EMT occur nearly simultaneously * → Expression of Tbx4 (hindlimb) and Tbx5 (forelimb) correlates with EMT timing in both mouse and chick embryos (Figure 1C–I)

Early limb patterning signals are not delayed (mouse and chick) * → BMP, Wnt, and RA signaling are active in both forelimb and hindlimb fields in mouse and chick embryos at the same developmental stage (Figure 2A–B) * → Expression of upstream transcription factors Pitx1, Isl1, and Hoxb9 occurs on time in both limb fields in mouse and chick embryos (Figure 2C–F)

Tbx4 enhancer function is conserved across species * → The mouse HLEA/HLEB and chick Tbx4-Rec1 enhancers drive equivalent spatial and temporal expression when introduced into either mouse or chick embryos (Figure 3C–E, H) * → CRISPR/dCas9-KRAB repression of Tbx4-Rec1 in chick embryos reduces Tbx4 expression (Figure 3F–I) * cRel and Rela repress Tbx4 in mouse hindlimbs * → Bulk RNA-seq of early hindlimb buds from mouse embryos reveals cRel as a candidate repressor of Tbx4 (Figure 4A–C) * → Electroporation of cRel and Rela into chick hindlimb buds reduces Tbx4 expression and limb bud size (Figure 4D) * → In cRel knockout mouse embryos, Tbx4 expression is elevated and EMT occurs earlier than in controls (Figure 4E–H)

Oxygen regulates hindlimb timing in mouse embryos * → In mouse embryos, early hypoxia is evidenced by nuclear Hif1a accumulation in hindlimb mesenchyme (Figure 5A–C) * → Culturing mouse embryos under normoxic conditions leads to precocious Tbx4 and Pitx1 expression in hindlimbs (Figure 5E–G) * → EMT is also accelerated under normoxia in mouse hindlimbs (Figure 5H–I) * → qPCR on lateral plate mesoderm (LPM)-derived cells from mouse embryos shows cRel is upregulated in hypoxic vs. normoxic conditions (Figure 5J)

cRel and Hif1a functionally interact in mouse embryos * → In Hif1a knockout mouse embryos, Tbx4 expression is elevated and hindlimb EMT is precocious—mimicking the cRel knockout phenotype (Figure S9I–J) * → Manipulating cRel expression alters Hif1a levels in mouse embryonic cells (Figure S10) * → scRNA-seq from mouse LPM derivatives confirms upregulation of Tbx4, Pitx1, and Hox9 under normoxia (Figure S6E)

STRENGTHS * Identifies a molecular mechanism linking environmental oxygen levels to developmental timing * Demonstrates that heterochrony arises from trans-acting regulatory inputs, not enhancer evolution * Uses a broad and rigorous toolkit: enhancer reporters, genetic knockouts, hypoxia assays, ex utero culture, single-cell and bulk RNA-seq * Highlights the adaptability of developmental programs to viviparous life history * Conceptually reframes heterochrony as plastic and environmentally modulated

FUTURE WORK & EXPERIMENTAL DIRECTIONS * Characterize direct chromatin binding of cRel and Hif1a at Tbx4 enhancers * Examine other NFKB targets in the LPM that might contribute to limb timing * Explore whether similar timing mechanisms are conserved in other mammalian species, including humans * Investigate how oxygen levels interface with metabolic and mitochondrial signaling during early development * Test whether early normoxia affects other embryonic heterochronies beyond limb formation * Directly test whether hypoxia modulates limb timing in birds. Although oxygen manipulation in chick embryos is technically challenging, comparative data would clarify whether the hypoxia–NFKB–Tbx4 axis is a placental adaptation or part of a broader vertebrate timing program.

AUTHORSHIP NOTE This review was drafted with the assistance of ChatGPT (OpenAI) to organize and articulate key insights. Dr. Angela Andersen checked the final document.

FINAL TAKEAWAY This preprint provides a paradigm shift in our understanding of limb heterochrony by uncovering a mechanism through which maternal oxygen availability regulates the timing of hindlimb development. By linking environmental hypoxia to NFKB- and Hif1a-mediated repression of Tbx4, the authors show how the embryo delays hindlimb formation until placental oxygenation is sufficient. This elegant mechanism offers an evolutionary and physiological explanation for mouse hindlimb delay, and it opens new avenues in developmental timing, maternal-fetal signaling, and the evolution of viviparity.

This sentence is logically backwards and misleading.

What It Should Say: "After eating, when blood glucose rises, insulin is secreted. Insulin promotes the uptake of glucose by cells and its conversion into glycogen for storage. This process helps lower high blood glucose levels, thereby preventing hyperglycemia."

The way this is phrased in English implies that long-periods of fasting increases your blood sugar (from what food source?), and then insulin is secreted to prevent hyperglycemia (again, from what food source?). It also implies that glucose cellular uptake somehow increases blood glucose. I read this multiple times before realising that it wasn't my comprehension which was wrong, it is just worded poorly.

I understand and am interested in the way our bodies and brains work biologically, but my personal beliefs definitely align with this, I am sure spirituality has a lot to do with the potential we have mentally and physically.

Do you believe that government regulations more often aid in the growth of businesses or hinder them with restrictions, even though they can occasionally create opportunities (such as the Telecommunications Act of 1996 increasing competition)?

The fact that nonprofit organizations make over $900 billion in annual contributions to the US economy intrigued me. That demonstrates that they have a significant financial impact in addition to helping people socially, much like traditional businesses.

I liked this sentence a lot as it sums up what a business means. People get mad about how some business operate but at the end of the day they're more often then not just giving the majority of people what they want.

Its interesting how entrepreneurs have emerged in the business world. The definition for an entrepreneur is different from the way many describe and present themselves in current times especially with social media. The business world definition is very different and I find it interesting how business has so much room for many different represented business people.

I studied abroad in Spain last semester and found it pretty shocking to see how different their work to life balance is. I spoke to a couple of professors about this and they all said it's because they believe that your life shouldn't revolve around work and they really prioritize personal connections.

I find it very interesting that when businesses first start it's pretty normal for costs to be greater than revenue because of how much investing goes into a starting a new company.

I wonder how much our beliefs affect our teaching approach. I know that as I have learned more and more about the art of teaching, my teaching approach has changed over time. However, it is definitely still rooted in the values I discovered as a kid, which makes me wonder once more if each generation of teachers are influenced by the generation of teachers' before them at a much deeper level than expected.

I think that this was really interesting because we see this same theme prevalent in almost all of our teaching strategies. The more ways we can use to engage our students, the easier it is for our students to remember the information we give them.

I'm a theatre arts education major and I wish theatre was done more in the classrooms. Thinking back to when I was in elementary school, we rarely did anything with theatre. It was mostly art and music, which is great but I wish theatre was more included because it is so important.

Experiencing and seeing the arts is so important because students get to see a real life example and it can help with their understanding, but it's something that they can enjoy and be inspired by

Often times in group work, Allow other to take a lead. but in some cases ill rally the other on a concept that would make a boring project enticing to less than motivated members to complete some work.

Doing this can make you think of questions to ask yourself before you read. It can answer the questions you think of and give yourself a better understanding and clear up any unknown information

I beleive if you ask this to yourself while reading, it will help you understand more about what you are actually reading and you may be able to look more into and understand the reading better than if you are not using these questions.

This is extremely important when considering what you are going to write about and how you are going to write it. I definitely need to work on understanding contexts more before diving into an essay or article. Thank you for this information.

Personally, I don't necessarily agree with this take--I think your first read-through of any article or essay should be a full analysis and your second read-through should focus on the nuances you missed... the reason for this is because a 'lazy read-through' is not as efficient.

I think this is a very interesting topic because as a writer you definitely are comparing your work to others but as a reader--the comparison dilemma does not happen as frequently.

I totally agree with this. It can be annoying when it is a long text but it's always worth it. Especially if the text is super dense, sometimes you can get lost in the wordiness and lose the actual meaning within it.

When annotating, I have found that writing whatever comes to mind is actually more helpful than having more structured/formal annotations. The informal annotation still gets the point across and it is in your own words, so it might make more sense to you when reading it back than something more formal.

I mentioned earlier, but many students are not participating in active learning. That being said, it is not necessarily their fault. Active learning is a learned skill and takes focus and time. Some students don't realize that there is a distinction between reading and actively absorbing the material. I think this skill should be taught more, especially to new students.

Having a professor who is flexible with their grading and times and dates for assignments is very helpful and makes life a lot less stressful for us students.

There is a lot of time in different classes that things come up and some assignments are not able to be completed on time and the professor will dock points. It is good to know a good grade can still be received even if it is later, especially if we work hard on the certain assignment.

I like how the first big writing assignment is a personal narrative. This is a great way of getting us students to open up slowly and what is the easiest topic to write about when you're new to writing? Yourself!

A very interesting take is displayed here. I use Google Docs religiously so that makes me very happy to hear but having an actual assignment be submitted through the platform is new to me. I personally hope that other students can get comfortable with this method quickly.

A very generous rule and statement from our professor here. I wish more writing classes considered this point of view more. Many people taking English classes in college are either newer to the language or are not as comfortable with writing. I hope more professors follow in your footsteps.

Thank you for being transparent with us and setting the tone for this class clear from the start. I hope that my fellows peers and I can work on opening up our personal lives at a professional and comfortable level in this class.

I think that effort is really important and I like that in this course if you show effort, it will pay off!

This is super helpful in case of an emergency, I like that there are policies in place for it so we as students know what to look out for.

I am excited for this because it gives students creative freedom to try certain techniques without the fear of getting a bad grade!

I appreciate how clear the guidelines are and it is nice that every one of these assignments will follow this outline, so we can know what to expect!

I find it interesting how all sorts of different civilizations everywhere around the world were evolving at close to the same pace without even being in contact with each other at the time.

I find it interesting how people found out how to breed something that was grass and end up turning it into something as poplar as corn.

rossum’s universal

I never thought about the fact that urbanization accompanies specialization. But it does make sense that the more specialized the world became, it allowed the world to become more urbanized.

This makes me wonder if trust is so central to financial intermediation, what mechanisms best prevent crises caused by overconfidence, and how do these interact with the complexity of modern specialization?

This section shows how specialization is dynamic, not static. It made me reconsider my assumption that gains in efficiency are permanent; instead, they are constantly challenged by innovation. It also highlights the tension between stability and change in modern economies.

This passage highlights the enormous productivity gains from specialization. It made me think about how much we underestimate the impact of dividing labor into focused tasks. I’m curious about the broader implications: does this extreme efficiency imply that modern economies are even more fragile because individual skills are highly specialized and dependent on complex interconnections?

I like the idea that we do not need to be constricted to buying a textbook. That saves some money and makes the class more obtainable to complete everything. I just struggle sometimes understanding how to do assignments on different websites.

Tying the amount of money we have lost as a nation to the lack of attention paid to the education system was an interesting point. The financial loss could sway people who previously did not care about other people's children (and their education). Due to the current state of the country it may be difficult to get people to "start caring about other people's children." in tems of improving the condition of our current educational system but the financial implications and losing earning potential could sway stakeholders to invest in educational reform.

I have had a similar experience when my district required that I teach alternative education students. I was often disheartened by my experiences with that group of students. Witnessing violence and lack of will to learn in such a restricted setting was disturbing. My experience cemented my understanding that students should receive more preventative services to positively impact their lives.

Sharecropping was slavery lite. In the sense that while the were “paid” they still were under the same harsh conditions as before.

I believe that the black delegates tried there best to create a space for newly freed Africans. To make sure laws reflected the nations they wished to live in. Also creating a public school system after not being able to access to reading was a amazing feat.

This is a particularly scary aspect of this article. I think today we have almost no privacy unfortunately. While I don't think it is nearly as bad in the US I think it is steadily getting worse. I find it very concerning that a lot of tech and media giants will advertise on being private but in reality that's not the case. While I do agree that if you are doing/saying something that you wouldn't be okay with people knowing you probably shouldn't do it online but also I feel users should be entitled to some level of privacy.

This is an interesting phenomenon. I think that fandoms aren't inherently negative but I do think this causes some dangers. I think that this had led people to feel obligated to information about celebrities or other public figures. I've seen lots of public figures have to set boundaries with their fans about not wanting to share every aspect of their life. This sometimes leads fans to feel "betrayed". I personally think it's odd to expect a person who you do not know to let you in on every part of their life. I think social media has made people feel as though they are obligated to that.

I think this is an interesting take. I don't necessarily agree with it. While I think that humans greatly underestimated what the internet would become I think we have the ability to understand and regulate it. A common issue with the internet is the lack of regulation. I think that the lack of regulation is due to the profit incentive. Like we talked about on Thursday, the media is a lobby that benefits politicians and their refusal to regulate it keeps them rich.

Its she could charge so much to fix something that the company should have just had right from the start

This is so true. Some people think it takes just a little bit to get good quality writing but it takes so much longer than that and AI has just ruined what people think.

This information is mind blowing. These tool (especially ChatGPT) are use so frequently. When you get the information you would think all information would be accurate. Especially with these tools being used in professional/ school settings.
