BREAKING: The FDA has approved NeuraLink launching its first human clinical study 🧠

Elon Musk's Neuralink has just received the go-ahead from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to conduct its first-ever clinical trial involving humans. Despite facing investigations into its animal experiments, Neuralink says the FDA approval is a crucial step towards its ultimate goal of “making a positive impact on countless lives”. While the specifics of the study remain under wraps for now, we know that recruitment for the trial hasn't started yet (but there’ll be enough Elon Musk fan boys to apply.)

New Assignments: College Students Grade Their AI-Generated Essays ✍️

Professor C.W. Howell from Duke University assigned a prompt to his students and had them use ChatGPT to generate an essay based on that prompt. But that wasn't the end of the story. The real challenge for the students was to "grade" their own essays. Their mission was to carefully scrutinize the content for any hallucinated information and provide constructive critiques on the analysis. Funny that this was a class assignment when I do this practically everyday!
