Today is “Rare Disease Day,” 40 yrs aftet Congress created a law to encourage pharmaceutical firms to develop so-called ‘orphan drugs’ to treat small patient populations w/ rare genetic diseases — Today, half of all new drugs approved by the FDA are orphans — They are the most expensive, w/ huge profit margins. The orphan market is forecast to double to $66 billion in the next decade In “Billion-Dollar Orphans,” chp 50 of my book, PHARMA, I expose how drug companies have learned to game the Orphan Law

First, folks caught @CNET quietly publishing machine learning-generated stories. Then came the revelation that the AI-generated content was “riddled with factual errors.” Now, it appears the site’s AI has “been a serial plagiarist—of actual humans' work.” futurism.com/cnet-ai-plagia…

Dear freelancers, are you pitching stories and tempted to use ChatGPT? Don't. I promise you that editors can tell.
