Hi everyone – welcome to your 3 Shifts Edition [AI-generated audio version].

First, the US government is restarting student loan collections, with garnishment of wages, social-security benefits, and tax refunds all back on the table starting May 5. Borrowers avoiding their loan balances might want to check their mail – and maybe their blood pressure too.

Next, protein is taking over everything we eat, from popcorn to ice cream to your morning coffee. With weight-loss drugs booming and muscle-mass preservation suddenly a national hobby, the $24B protein-snack market is exploding.

Finally, there’s a brewing problem with AI benchmarks. Popular benchmarks are becoming saturated, AI players are overfitting models, and models that do well on benchmarks aren’t doing well in the real world. On the other hand, it seems we’re in the “thousand flowers blooming” era of AI benchmarks.

Enjoy.

– Tam
