Uber launches same-day prescription delivery, Turnitin ships an AI plagiarism tool, Tidal gets into live DJing

Good morning! A physical AI clock now exists that uses ChatGPT to generate short poems that tell the time. The prompt instructs the AI to use time as a parameter, and to be "imaginative and profound" when responding with two rhyming lines ⏰

🌶 Highlight of the day 🌶

Uber's health division launched same-day prescription delivery. End-users can access the offering through UberEats by connecting their account to NimbleRX and adding insurance info. Health plans and providers get an enterprise interface to manage prescription delivery from pharmacies in their service area.

The prescription delivery battle heats up 🔥
