Adolescent Cannabis Use and Risk of Psychotic, Bipolar, Depressive, and Anxiety Disorders. Yet another article that shows that cannabis increases risk of youth developing serious psych disorders. And these folks expect to get jobs and be productive when they're adults? China, Japan, South Korea and Singapore don't have to deal with this crap. I asked Perplexity what other countries legalize cannabis like in the U.S. It's only Canada and Thailand that offer it commercially. In Uruguay you can get it through regulated pharmacies and clubs, but tourists can't get it. In Europe, Mexico and Chile you can only get the home-grown marijuana, not the synthetic high-potency stuff like what's on sale here. This is not the old Maui Wowie or Kona Gold stuff that the hippies of yore smoked. It's crazy that we allow our youth to destroy their precious brains like this.

MIT study shows that "AI agents are fast, loose and out of control". Yeah, a lot of script-kiddies who don't know what they're doing are just letting agents run wild. So far there hasn't been a significant security breach, but I predict it will happen soon.

17% of females (and only females) who drink diet drinks develop depression. It's the gut brain axis again, and two bacterial genuses are involved: Eggerthela and Hungatella. Here's something I didn't know: "Your child’s gut produces roughly 90% of their body’s serotonin." A child's diet is really important. Paper here.

Humanizer - it's a Claude code skill that "humanizes" your text, making it sound less like it was AI-generated. So presumably you would use this AI code to appear more human. What's the target market for this product?

Here's what AI is good for in medicine – diagnosing rare diseases: An agentic system for rare disease diagnosis with traceable reasoning. Because who can remember all those rare conditions, anyway?

Oregon's unemployment rate is increasing faster than the national average. And most of the job openings are in healthcare by far. Then administrative/managerial, then leisure and hospitality, and then retail. Manufacturing jobs are near the bottom. The Portland-Metro area has by far the most job vacancies.
