Wow, did not know it was the first time in 46 years that Team USA won the Olympic gold in hockey.

-Having the students record their meetings as if it was a real meeting, then using AI to determine the distribution of work. Why didn’t I think of that? It’s just a transcript, they’re using it anyway, and there would be a record of what each person said.

Workout in! Supersets? What does ChatGPT say?

And had some cheesecake today… Baked Expectations, dessert shops not like in Beijing.
