  While the World Health Organization has warned that no amount of alcohol is safe, the alcohol
• 8:08
  market surged to $37 billion in 2023.
• 8:14
  Experts emphasize that alcohol is a known carcinogen, contributing to over 200 diseases,
• 8:20
  including heart disease and dementia.
• 8:23
  Despite long-held beliefs about potential health benefits, such as those associated
• 8:28
  with red wine, new research reveals that these claims often overlook important lifestyle
• 8:33
  factors.
• 8:35
  As public awareness grows, the challenge remains to change cultural perceptions and behaviors
• 8:41
  towards alcohol consumption.
• 8:45

  However, Columbia Business School dropped from fifth to seventeenth, primarily due to
• 9:16
  lower reported starting salaries.
• 9:19
  As business schools face high turnover among administrators and adapt to the rising influence

  Let's talk tech.
• 10:39
  In a lighthearted debate, a California couple, Vakos Choudhury and Riddhi Sani, disagree
• 10:45
  on how polite one should be with chat GPT.
• 10:49
  Choudhury, a startup founder, expresses gratitude to the chatbot, calling it a rock star.
• 10:57
  In contrast, Sani views their interactions as purely transactional.
• 11:04
  As chatbots become more conversational, users face an ethical dilemma.
• 11:09
  A survey revealed that about 48% of Americans believe in being polite to artificial intelligence,
• 11:16
  while others argue it is inefficient.
• 11:20
  Research suggests that politeness can lead to better responses from AI, prompting conversations
• 11:25
  about etiquette in our digital interactions.
• 11:29
  And in entertainment news, religious movies are making significant waves in Hollywood,
• 11:37
  attracting rich investors eager to put millions into faith-based projects.

• 12:40
  favor.
