Good morning. It’s Wednesday, and I’m reading about the two baby names that have dominated the charts for the past six years. Onto the five Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and California stories you need to know for today.

ChatGPT EDU will not give your professors access to your searches on the platform, a Cal State official confirmed. What’s more, the program will protect student information and searches from being recycled into the algorithm for the free tools in order to “safeguard students’ intellectual property.” The CSU began funding ChatGPT EDU for students who log in with their Cal Poly emails across all 23 campuses on April 28.

Three majors had room for 4% or fewer freshman applicants for this fall: psychology (2.1% or 80 students), biological sciences (3% or 159 students) and aerospace engineering (3.5% or 85 students). Transfer students had even lower chances, with some majors accepting just one or even no transfers this year. Both dairy science and bioresource and agricultural engineering took no applicants, and the other most competitive transfer majors were public health, biochemistry and construction management.

Rite Aid is bankrupt, again. The pharmacy chain is looking to either immediately close or sell off all of its stores, but it appears that SLO County’s 10 locations made the first cut that will shutter 115 stores nationwide. In the meantime, shelves may be understocked like they were when Rite Aid filed for bankruptcy last year, as corporate leaders look to provide “uninterrupted pharmacy services.” If no buyers swoop in to save the Foothill Blvd and Johnson Ave locations, we might just end up a CVS town.

Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed cutting health insurance for undocumented adults just a year after adding it to Medi-Cal’s offerings, and he wants to charge $100 per month for it now. Medi-Cal is a state-run insurance program that provides free or low-cost care to low-income people in California. Medi-Cal is exceeding all anticipated costs, officials said, in a year where a Republican-controlled Congress is looking to hack away at the Democrat-controlled state’s budget. Newsom wants to kill two birds with one stone by cutting the undocumented program by both cutting costs and appeasing the feds.

If nothing else will get people to visit national parks, maybe thirst traps will. Several viral videos on TikTok combine shirtless OnlyFans entertainers with scenes of natural beauty to achieve their underlying message: national parks are sexy. The trend’s first account reaching a million followers, but nobody knows who’s behind it. The national parks don’t have TikToks and the adult entertainers were surprised to see their content was viral. “I’m happy that my TikToks can direct attention to the parks in a time of need after the NPS funding got cut,” one OnlyFan model said. “That’s wonderful.”
