Bill Clinton blistered the Republicans on a variety of points last night but prominent among them, to an economics correspondent, was his attack on the Romney/Ryan budget plan and its tax cut for the upper crust.That makes the debt hole bigger before they even start to dig out, preached the ex-President.

New developments in artificial intelligence
jordan are making some educators wary of how technology will transform school assignments and learning. The new artificial intelligence, or AI, tool from OpenAI, ChatGPT, has the ability to generate text with different, lifelike human voices and tone, depending on what you ask it, allowing anyone to produce essays, scripts or even poetry without offering more than an initial basic prompt. The ChatGPT algorithm so accurately captures different writing genres that it has even been able to pass business and law school exams.However, its writing is not entirely foolproof. The AI cannot fact-check itself, so its products may contain false information or made-up sources. But that has not stopped the app from becoming a looming force over classrooms.Many teacher
