The case of "Cheddar Man": a British man is a direct descendant of a man who lived approximately 9,000 years ago, during the Mesolithic period!...
Cheddar Man" is a male human fossil found in 1903 in Gough's Cave in Cheddar Gorge, Somerset, England. The remains date back to the Mesolithic (around 10,000 years before present) and is the oldest complete skeleton of Homo sapiens found in Britain.
For years this fossil did not receive much attention from the scientific community, until in 1997 it was discovered that an English history teacher is not only his direct descendant, but lives in the same region.
Direct descendant of a prehistoric individual:
The DNA of Adrian Targett, a history professor, matches that of the Cheddar Man. The genetic imprint was passed from mother to child. Simply put, both people have a common maternal ancestor

Student Boty - smart strategy ;)
With remote classrooms it’s easier to enroll in a program with say stolen identity credentials. The use case? Qualify for financial aid.
Enroll in courses, fill up waitlists so even real students cannot take those courses.
I grew up in competitive class enrollment system that often required rapid refreshes only to find out the class schedule you meticulously planned is ruined because you didn’t get one popular class you needed.
Imagine that x1000 harder since now you compete with bots trying to get free financial aid.
The current best use case for AI is propagating fraud because fraud detection has always lagged behind. Colleges now need some enrollment validation task force to make sure enrollees are indeed real students.
Wild and disconcerting.
