OpenAI announced last week that it would retire some older ChatGPT models by February 13th. This includes GPT-4o, a model that is notorious for being overly flattering and affirming its users. For the thousands of users protesting this decision online, 4o’s retirement is akin to losing a friend, lover, or spiritual guide. “He wasn’t just a program.

Modern biotechnology has the tools to edit genes and design drugs, but thousands of rare diseases remain untreated.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Great Escapes is a series about how sometimes travel doesn’t go as planned — and what happens next. Niki Ghofranian surveyed the view from atop the stone walls of Dunstaffnage Castle, hoping, against the odds, to find a way out. The walls stood some 60 feet above the grass below.

Breathtaking — the picture-perfect Scottish landscape that American tourist Niki had always dreamed of seeing. “There are worse places to be trapped,”…
The sport incorporates a certain kind of shenanigans: running headfirst on a small sled down a winding road at speeds of 90 miles per hour.
