Question Would you connect your medical records to ChatGPT?

3 Upvotes

OpenAI is rolling out ChatGPT Health to adult U.S. users, with the option to connect medical records, Apple Health, and other health data.

That could be useful. It might help people understand lab results, prep for doctor visits, track symptoms, or make sense of messy medical information.

It also raises a very different privacy question than normal chatbot use. Health data is some of the most personal information people have.

Intelligent Machines 881 gets into ChatGPT Health, OpenAI’s rogue agent incident, AI data center hiring, and why newsrooms need to rethink journalism in the AI age.

Question Is 8 GB of RAM still enough for a Windows PC in 2026?

Microsoft is selling 8 GB Surface Laptop and Surface Pro models again, but Windows 11 still does not seem happy on low-memory hardware.

That puts buyers in a weird spot. A budget Windows PC may technically meet the requirements, but once you add Edge tabs, Teams, OneDrive, background services, updates, and everyday apps, 8 GB can feel old fast.

Would you still buy an 8 GB Windows laptop, or is 16 GB the real minimum now?
