via the report published by MIT’s Ad Hoc Committee on AI Use in Teaching, Learning, and Research Training:

“AI threatens the shared social fabric of MIT and creates new risks to the well-being of our students. MIT needs to invest in creating shared norms, establishing new community rituals, and addressing new academic, social, and emotional challenges introduced (or exacerbated) by AI.”

Once matter passes through the bowels, the effectiveness of the anal sphincter is also thought to be affected by intense exercise. The sphincter has two rings — first, a less powerful, outer, voluntary ring, and second, a more powerful, inner, involuntary ring. As other parts of the body are prioritised during all-out efforts, this involuntary ring weakens — and triggers the final, messy repercussion of faecal incontinence.
