“Black maternal health and reproductive health has to be a conversation that I hear from any candidate for me to be on board to vote for them,” she said. Black women in the U.S. also face greater risks bearing children. “The landscape for reproductive health for Black women has gotten far more dangerous in the last two and a half years,” she said. When asked, the Harris campaign did not point to specific policies on Black maternal health. Desta-Bell said she’s found growing interest from voters about the state of Black maternal health and reproductive justice.

Employers might not ask if you have a degree, but many still care, a labor market expert told BI.

"What people are looking for, because it's the easiest and laziest filter, is a four-year degree from a 'good school,'" he said. "He's been the finalist for five different positions where they said, 'You're actually the best candidate we interviewed, but we require a four-year degree,'" Hyams said.

"It's ratcheting up, folks, and it takes really strong American leadership and western world leaders to do something about that," Dimon said.

☆ Why The New York Times' lawyers are inspecting OpenAI's code in a secretive room

Lawyers for The New York Times are poring through ChatGPT's source code and training material. It is there to be inspected by lawyers for The New York Times. The Times' lawyers can share their notes with up to five outside consultants to help them understand what the code does. That text includes stories from The New York Times, articles from other publications, and an untold number of copyrighted books. OpenAI similarly used high-quality, well-researched, well-written, and fact-based New York Times articles to make ChatGPT so impressive, the Times argues.

According to the lawsuit, these universities bilked applicants from divorced or separated homes by including the financial backgrounds of noncustodial parents when determining financial aid packages. The universities engaged in “a concerted action” to require that an applicant’s noncustodial parents, meaning the parent a student does not primarily live with, provide their financial information to be eligible for nonfederal financial aid, the lawsuit states. The universities generated financial aid offers based on an applicant’s custodial and noncustodial parents’ financial statuses. The College Board’s push to include noncustodial parents’ financial information began in 2006, the lawsuit says, and never included consideration for whether that parent would contribute to a student’s education. “This lawsuit has no merit and NYU intends to vigorously defend itself and its financial aid policies and procedures,” NYU spokesperson John Beckman said in a statement.

Over 15,000 patient visits were conducted "using this type of ambient AI technology to augment the documentation," he says. Seliby Perkins is prepared for patients to either decline the use of ambient AI during their visits or have a lot of questions about how it works.

The former star appellate lawyer who allies once cast as the smartest person in the room remains confounded by the realities of Donald Trump. Roberts was shaken by the adverse public reaction to his decision affording Trump substantial immunity from criminal prosecution. The Roberts Court has been in sync with the GOP political agenda largely because of decisions the chief justice has authored: For Trump and other Republicans. But the politically charged valence deepened in the justices’ resolution of the case against former President Trump on election-interference charges from 2020.

Around 60% of Americans hold a favorable opinion of the 2010 health care law, a recent KFF poll found. The Harris campaign released a report on Monday that paints a dire picture of health care under a hypothetical Trump administration.
