  1. Ummmm...

    "Thayer said she is regularly using ChatGPT to come up with ideas about planning what to eat, while also having it calculate the nutritional value of the pumpkin-banana-oat bread she’s been baking for years."

    But conversely,

    "Perhaps defying emerging media consumption trends, 28-year-old Sanaa Wilson usually skips right past those AI-generated summaries.

    “It has to be a basic question like, ‘What day does Christmas land on in 2025?’” said the Los Angeles-area resident. “I’ll be like, ‘That makes sense. I trust it.’ But when it gets to specific news, related to what’s happening in California or what’s happening to the education system and stuff like that, I will scroll down a little bit further.”

    Wilson, a freelance data scientist, does use AI heavily at work to help with coding, which she said has saved her hundreds of dollars she would have had to pay for training. She also occasionally uses it to come up with work-related ideas, an attempt to bring back a little of the collaborative brainstorming experience she remembers from college life but doesn’t have now.

    When it first came out, Wilson said she also used ChatGPT to help write emails, until she learned more about its environmental impact and the possibility it would erode her own writing and thinking skills over time.

    “It’s just an email. I can work it out,” she said. “However many minutes it takes, or seconds it takes, I can still type it myself.”"

  3. #Maine Legislature Passes #FoodScrapBan

    Will keep thousands of tons of #FoodWaste out of #landfills.

    March 6, 2024

    "Maine’s legislature has passed a bill that would require many commercial food producers to #donate and #compost food waste rather than send it to a landfill. The bill would reduce #FoodInsecurity, save cities and towns money, and slow #ClimateChange from #methane pollution.

    "#ConservationLawFoundation (#CLF) released the following statement in response: "#MethanePollution is over 80 times more dangerous than carbon dioxide in driving the climate crisis,' said Nora Bosworth, #ZeroWaste attorney at CLF. 'The main culprit of this pollution is decomposing food scraps in landfills, and this bill offers a logical solution to this problem. It’s time for Maine to catch up with the rest of New England and embrace a better solution for our food waste.'"
