4. Prepare for sick days.

If you expect your illness to conflict with your work schedule or responsibilities, alert your employer ahead of time.
“Employers do appreciate knowing as soon as possible so they can plan for that,” Damron said. From there, your manager can understand your limitations and make accommodations.

In addition, try to prepare for days when you cannot work, rather than waiting until the last minute to notify your supervisor, Russinova advised. You should also prepare a plan that you and your employer can follow if you unexpectedly need time off to address your illness.

“If an employee expects the illness to require regular physician appointments, then absences should be discussed,” O’Brien said. “If there will be bad days or good days, then uncertainty should be discussed. If specific workstation accommodations are needed, those should be discussed, but there is not the need to discuss sensitive particulars with an employer unless the employee is comfortable doing so.”

5. Know your rights.

As an employee with a chronic health condition, you have the right to request reasonable accommodations, like flexibility, extra feedback or supervision time, additional instructions on assignments and, most importantly, support from your company, Russinova said. Know your rights, and don’t be afraid to exercise them.

Did You Know?

If you are hiring candidates, there are some illegal interview questions you cannot ask, including broad questions about a potential hire’s health or whether they have had previous illnesses.
If issues arise with your employer, turn to HR or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

O’Brien explained that the ADA covers employers with more than 15 employees and requires them to provide reasonable accommodations to disabled employees, so long as they do not cause undue hardship to the company.

If you feel you’re being discriminated against or have a case against your employer, don’t hesitate to reach out for help. However, there’s a way to do it without tarnishing your professional relationships.

“Use the ADA as a collaborative tool, not a sword,” O’Brien said. “Approaching an employer with threats of ADA action is not advisable when attempting to continue employment.”

6. Research local sick-leave laws.

Your state or municipality might have its own sick leave laws, which are worth investigating. The laws will support you when your chronic illness is interfering with your ability to work. In that case, you may be able to claim a certain amount of paid sick leave time based on your location.

Employers must pay employees at their typical wage for this leave.
For example, in New Jersey, you earn an hour of paid sick leave — up to 40 hours in total — for every 30 hours you work. Additionally, nine municipalities in the state have their own sick-leave laws, and some states with no sick-leave laws have their own rules you should know.

Video games will never be the same 🎮✨

Google released Genie 2, its most powerful large-scale world-generation model. With Genie 2, fully playable and cohesive worlds can be generated—up to 1 minute of gameplay.

Starting from an image, Genie 2 simulates world dynamics, creating an interactive environment playable with a keyboard and mouse. 🖱🎹

This represents a major leap from the first version of Genie, offering richer environments and seamless interactions.

The third version, already in development, promises to push these boundaries even further. 🚀

US officials are looking into the national security risks linked to an AI advancement made by the Chinese company DeepSeek, as mentioned by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. This follows the US Navy's decision to prohibit its members from using DeepSeek's apps due to potential security and ethical issues.

OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, stated it will collaborate with the US government to protect its technology from competitors. DeepSeek's affordable AI model has negatively impacted the stock prices of US tech companies as investors reevaluate their AI investments. Leavitt noted that the National Security Council is exploring the implications of this situation, reflecting US President Donald Trump's opinion that DeepSeek's progress should alert the tech industry.

The Navy warned its personnel against using DeepSeek's app, citing concerns over its model’s origin. David Sacks, the White House's AI czar, claimed DeepSeek might have learned from OpenAI's models through a technique called knowledge distillation. OpenAI confirmed that other companies aim to replicate its models and emphasized the importance of protecting its intellectual property. DeepSeek reported experiencing cyber attacks and has limited registrations due to these issues.
