Good morning! Utah became the first US state to restrict teens from using social media without parental consent. Companies will be required to establish a 10:30pm - 6:30am curfew for Utah minors, and must also give parents access to their child's accounts 👀

🌶 Highlight of the day 🌶

Zapier launched a Natural Language Actions API. The API uses a single "instructions" parameter to turn natural language chat into actions between apps. GPT 3.5 processes chat instructions and maps to specific API calls, returning responses that are optimized for both humans and language models.
