one single step that would do a lot to improve reputation of LLMs would be for Google to abandon AI Mode like they do with all of their other products

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

A diagram of the bones and (some) deep muscles of the hand and forearm. AI says that we only have four digits. It’s also identified a tendon as the median nerve, another tendon as the ulnar nerve, among other issues.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the neck. It hallucinated the “ennocleidomasid” muscle, and the “anterior scalpalin muscle”.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the lateral thigh. It says that the gluteus Maximus (the big juicy butt muscle) is on the anterior side. It also points to the quadriceps muscle and says “attattment”. It also says that the same structure is the tibia AND the deep fascia of the leg.

An AI generated diagram of the bones of the hand and forearm. This time AI says we have 6 digits. It also says that the radius is the ulnar artery. Among other many issues.

there's something here

A normal-versus-normal matchup is what politics used to be — persuasion, messaging, negotiation, compromise. Behaving this way will lose against someone donning body armor while calling you an antifa domestic terrorist MS-13 gang member. And the guy in the body armor will always lose to the guy in the inflatable frog suit.

Good enough. Looks like same outcome as 9th circuit.

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 16h

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals PARTIALLY grants the stay sought by the Trump Administration.

The stay is GRANTED as to federalization of the National Guard.

But it is DENIED as to deployment.

So deployment still BLOCKED, but troops "do not need to return to their home states."

Given crypto bros have gotten their wish on being a regulations free zone, no federal agency is ever going to investigate this massive level of insider trading which impacted over 1.6 million crypto traders.

BTW, Democrats also have benefited more from "dark money" since 2018, according to the Brennan Center:

"Overall, dark money groups boosting Ds put up about $1.2 billion to influence 2024 elections, while groups boosting Rs accounted for about $664 million."

Money isn't the issue. It's competence.

Matthew Sheffield @matthew.flux.community · 1d

You may not realize this, but Democrats have *more money* available to them than Republicans do.

But Republicans are fucking masters at efficiency and network marketing. They maximize every dollar.

Democratic organizations keep hiring the same failed consultants. They need new blood.

Yup. The much disliked around here Bill Maher said this at least a decade ago. Democrats follow polls. Republicans move them.

Democrats send desperate email pleas to you and then take your hard-earned money 🅰🅽🅳 🅶🅸🆅🅴 🅸🆃 🆃🅾 🆁🆄🅿🅴🆁🆃 🅼🆄🆁🅳🅾🅲🅷.

Democrats are funding far right media with our money. They are actively funding anti-American fascism.

This better fucking stop.

The most galling fact about obsolete Democratic spending is that instead of helping build up a center-to-left ecosystem, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭-𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚.

Most Dem ads go to local TV news. They are putting billions of dollars in the pockets of Fox, Sinclair, Nexstar, etc!
