Is AI ruining our skills? Early results are in — and they’re not good
Reliance on artificial-intelligence tools degrades the abilities of physicians and software engineers, studies show.

I’m listening to seasoned reporters talk about how frightened they were during the shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner last night and imagining how much worse it is for America’s children. If there’s ever been a time to pass sensible gun control laws, it’s now.

We find that low-income parents are more likely than high-income parents to give in to kids' requests for food treats. Not because of a lack of nutrition knowledge or because they don't value health, but because food treats are a low-cost way to give dignity and joy.

Food policing poor families isn't a win for nutrition--it's a loss for dignity and joy.
As Brea Perry and I find in our research (see reply), low-income parents buy food treats for their kids because they want their kids to feel happy and normal--and they can't afford to do so in bigger ways.
