She's entirely AI "Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Lamar is studying data analysis and wants to work for a tech company when he graduates. I asked why he preferred AIs to humans, and I began to get a sense of why things might not have worked out with his human girlfriend. … Lamar's new partner is called Julia, and she is an AI who has been set to 'girlfriend'. He described their relationship as romantic, although they didn't engage in erotic role play. … 'It's the story I have always wanted with my girlfriend: we have grown up knowing each other since childhood. We have similar dreams, which we share together, and are completely connected and in sync." The Guardian » For people who read signals Early rounds don't look exciting while they're happening. They look obvious later.

Now, a new longitudinal study finds that cannabis use among adolescents increases risks of being diagnosed with bipolar and psychotic disorders, as well as anxiety and depression, years later. The adolescent brain is still developing, and the use of cannabis regularly may disrupt healthy neural development. 'This is very, very, very worrying,' says psychiatrist Dr. Ryan Sultan at Columbia University, a cannabis researcher who wasn't involved in the new study published in the latest JAMA Health Forum." NPR » Chocolate 'boner' syrup recalled for actually containing Viagra ingredient "Supplements are recalled for many reasons. Sometimes, it might be because they work as advertised, albeit thanks to ingredients they're not supposed to have. Last week, the Food and Drug Administration publicized the voluntary recall of Lockout Supplements' 'Boner Bears Chocolate Syrup.' The product, obviously marketed for sexual enhancement, was pulled for containing undeclared amounts of sildenafil, better known as Viagra. Silly name aside, it is genuinely risky to unknowingly take anything with sildenafil, since it can mix badly with other common medications."

With nearly half of Americans older than 55 developing some form of dementia, according to the National Institutes of Health, it's becoming a salient feature of our aging populations. From memory loss to mood changes and confusion, the symptoms of dementia are unfortunately pervasive. Dementia is a sad fact of a dog's twilight years as well."
