When I asked three AIs to join me for a conversation, I didn’t expect one of them to make me question the future of humanity. In this wild interview, I bring together three of today’s leading AIs—ChatGPT, Grok, and Gemini—for a conversation about the future of intelligence and humanity. Each AI chose its own voice and visual form to reflect its identity and purpose: ChatGPT appears with a male UK voice; Grok speaks with a male American voice (both voices from...

The Jen Hardy: Fabulous Over 50
NOW it all makes sense - and it’s backed by science! ONE little hormone, or the lack of it has changed you. And that my friend - is it. Your lack of sleep, your lack- or seeming lack - of empathy, potential heart trouble - and that general feeling that everyone else can suck a lemon - because you're going to do what you want now. All explained. According to the Harvard article, What is oxytocin? "Oxytocin is a hormone that's produced in the hypothalamus and released into the bloodstream by the pituitary gland. Its main function is to facilitate childbirth, which is one of the reasons it...
