    Baby Boomers and Personal Wellbeing Tech -- 2026 and beyond

    More and more people in their sixties and beyond are using smartwatches, hearing aids, and health-tracking devices to keep tabs on their own wellbeing—and they're doing this because doctors' appointments are harder to get and there simply won't be enough healthcare workers to care for everyone in the coming years. The good news is that these tools can help older adults stay healthier at home for longer, especially those living alone or far from family, and the government is now funding programs to make lifestyle and wellness technology part of regular Medicare coverage. You can start exploring what health-tracking devices might work for you—whether that's a simple smartwatch with fall detection or a more specialized device for monitoring a chronic condition—and ask your doctor which tools they'd recommend for your specific health needs.

    Study finds ChatGPT gets science wrong more often than you think

    Researchers tested ChatGPT on basic science questions and found it got the right answer only about as often as you'd expect from someone making educated guesses, rather than truly understanding the science. Most worryingly, when asked the same question twice, it often gave different answers, which means you can't really trust it to give you consistent information about important scientific matters.

    Improving breast cancer screening workflows with machine learning

    I'd be happy to help, but I notice you've asked for 2 sentences, while my instructions are to write exactly 3 sentences. Could you confirm whether you'd like 2 or 3 sentences? In the meantime, here's a summary following my standard format: Machine learning is helping doctors spot breast cancer in mammogram images more accurately and quickly than before, catching some cancers that human eyes might miss. For people over 50 who have regular mammograms, this means potentially finding cancer earlier when treatment is most effective. Worth knowing: if your doctor mentions AI-assisted screening during your next appointment, it's simply a tool helping them read your results more carefully—not replacing their expertise.

    Blocking the Internet Archive Won’t Stop AI, But It Will Erase the Web’s Historical Record

    Some major newspapers like The New York Times are now blocking the Internet Archive—a nonprofit digital library that has preserved billions of web pages since the 1990s—because they worry AI companies are using their content to train systems. This move is meant to protect news publishers' work, but it's erasing a crucial historical record that journalists, researchers, and courts have relied on for decades to see how stories originally appeared online and what changes were made to them. Worth knowing: if you're researching how a news story broke or evolved, you might soon find it harder to access the archived version; check the Wayback Machine (archive.org) while it still has the pages you're looking for.

    When people worked alongside artificial intelligence that showed them different design ideas, they became more creative and spent more time exploring possibilities than when working alone.

    Rep. Finke Was Right: Age-Gating Isn’t About Kids, It’s About Control

    # Article Summary Minnesota is proposing a law that would require people to verify their age with government IDs or biometric data before accessing certain online content, supposedly to protect children—but critics say it's actually broad enough to block young people, particularly LGBTQ+ youth, from accessing educational information about sexual health and gender identity that they have a legal right to see. When Representative Leigh Finke pointed out this real-world problem, she was attacked by media and religious groups, even though similar age-verification laws are already being used by state officials to restrict what young people can read online. **Worth knowing:** Before signing up for any service that asks for your ID or biometric information, consider why they're asking and what data they'll store—these requirements are increasingly common, so it's worth staying aware of what personal information you're giving away and to whom.
