  6. 'Dangerous' air quality in Detroit, Minneapolis as thick wildfire smoke shrouds the sky for millions

    Smoke from wildfires burning in Ontario have caused air quality to reach "dangerous" levels across Canada, and the northeastern and midwestern United States. And it could get worse before conditions improve.

    By Brian Lada, AccuWeather meteorologist

    Published Jul 15, 2026 11:50 AM EDT | Updated Jul 16, 2026

    " Massive plumes of smoke are descending across parts of Canada and the United States, creating dangerous air quality and scenes reminiscent of the historic wildfire smoke outbreak from three summers ago.

    " 'In 2023, a major fire outbreak in Quebec caused days of unhealthy air quality in the northeastern U.S.,' AccuWeather Vice President of Forecast Operations Dan DePodwin said. 'This event could cause similar levels of poor air quality in spots.'

    "Air quality alerts have been issued for millions of people, including across all of #Connecticut, #Delaware, #Massachusetts, #Michigan, #NewHampshire, #NewJersey, #NewYork, #Ohio, #Pennsylvania, #RhodeIsland and #Wisconsin.

    "Over 800 wildfires are currently burning across Canada, including dozens that are out of control across western #Ontario, the source of most of the smoke. 'Many of these fires may have been started by lightning,' AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson said.

    "On Wednesday, #Toronto had some of the worst air quality in North America, reaching 'very unhealthy' levels with an AQI of 220. #BostonMA was not far behind with an unhealthy AQI of 147.

    " 'When the AQI climbs into the 150+ range for a full day outside, that’s in the ballpark of [smoking] 7 to 9 cigarettes,' Dr. Jonathan M. Tan, division chief of General Anesthesiology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, told AccuWeather.

    "Conditions deteriorated by Thursday morning, with widespread "dangerous" air quality across nearly all the Great Lakes region and into parts of the Northeast. Minneapolis and Duluth, Minnesota, as well as Detroit, were among the worst cities at daybreak Thursday, with AQIs over 340.

    " 'Any exposure to the air, even for a few minutes, can lead to serious health effects on everybody,' Plume Labs said.
    Avoid outdoor activities.' "

  11. Brown professor says students used #AI to cheat — and made this ‘very basic strategic mistake’

    Serrano knew something was “fishy” when several tests came back with an identical circuitous answer to a mathematical question, instead of the simpler response it warranted. His suspicions were piqued when he saw the grade distribution and confirmed when a teaching assistant fed the question through ChatGPT, which solved the problem the same way.

    Among the 86 students in “Welfare Economics and Social Choice Theory,” the average score on the midterm was 96, and nearly half of the students earned a perfect 100. In previous years, the average midterm grade ranged from 65 to 80.

    If his students’ first error in judgment was trying to game a game theorist, their second was assuming no one else would think to do the same — “a very basic strategic mistake”
