The University of Michigan will drop grades for first-semester freshmen next year in an effort to “curb the mental health crisis unfolding among college-aged individuals,” according to the school. (Replaces a preliminary version of the video.)

the problem with tech twitter is that it's truly a bubble.
you could be working on your first project, see 100+ other founders talking about making >$10k MRR and feel like you're the only one in the world that isn't getting "rich" with AI.
the reality is that if you're building with AI, you're instantly among <1% of the population and if you've even made a single dollar off of something you've built, that number drops significantly.
keep in mind, most people are using AI as a search engine, doctor, therapist, etc - not to build a SAAS.
don't get dissuaded, you're too early.
surprised more people aren't doing something like this
Codex now creates a "newspaper" for me every morning
Unread messages, calendar, surf report, news
Anything I can do to stay off my phone until later in the day is a priority
The most valuable skill sets on the planet right now:
1. people who can set up agents properly, manage them, and run local AI models
2. marketers who know how to build distribution
3. robotics engineers who can do all three: build the hardware, wire in the AI, and source manufacturing etc
4. curators who are good at yapping and can do short form video in their sleep
5. the builder-distributor. The one person who can both ship the product AND get it in front of people
6. IRL community builders
High cortisol in pregnancy can permanently mess with your child’s ability to bond.
Dr. Robert Lustig and Steven Bartlett broke it down on Diary of a CEO: Stress during pregnancy alters the baby’s oxytocin receptors (the “feel safe and connect” system) through epigenetics. That effect can last a lifetime, and chronic stress after birth keeps it going.
This one really stopped me. It shows how much a mother’s stress levels can shape her child’s emotional wiring from before they’re even born.
We’re learning that mental and emotional health starts much earlier than we thought, and the ripple effects are huge.
Do you think we’re doing enough to support mothers’ stress levels during and after pregnancy?
I used to be one of those people who poo poo-ed anecdotal evidence and yes an n of 1 is still an n of 1 but now anecdotal stories are kinda all I believe, like ticks are bad this year? Probably but I haven’t seen it yet so not clocking for me. Unless it’s happened to me, someone I know or like someone I went to high school with, it ain’t clocking 🤣
was in a group of moms the other day, talking about how we set up ai agents at home to plan recipes and order groceries
got side eyes. “and you’re HAPPY with that??”
girl, I am. hell yeah to lowering the cognitive load of running a household. women should embrace ai - especially for all the mundane stuff.
anyone who cares only about the copy-edit status of 99% of work related comms and docuemtns has always been a a red flag -- so glad grammitcally incorrect is in
as someone who makes and looks at these maps for a living, mostly with health related data - i've been saying this for years. Every map is identical. You need a "prediction" metric - it's income FYI
