Okay, since I apparently have to be explicit about this -

When I post answers in word games, I only post blatantly wrong answers. Anyone foolish enough to respond with correct answers gets blocked, as I operate under a no-spoilers policy.

Yeah, just astounding how people are upset over the rise of a racist agitator who repeatedly lies without consequences.

I feel like we’re going through a crisis of credulity as a culture. You can see it with this, you can see it with woo, and you can see it with AI. Nobody’s willing to stand up and say “this is stupid, what are you talking about?”, so people keep spinning out of control.

This is an entirely new take on "birds aren't real" that I wasn't expecting, and I can't wait to see where it goes.

Your cautionary fable about artificial intelligence can have a mascot, as a treat.

If this was happening in any other country you'd have journalists and analysts discussing risks of state failure

Mr Laos. Just when you though this year was a bit quiet on the insanely huge, bedazzled, symbolic costumes along comes Mr Laos and blows everyone else out of the water. This is insane, but it's also *so* good.

A tech fetishist only lusts over tech and ignores what it's used for, in both fiction and reality.

.Hack is more of a cautionary tale about caring for your digital children with a side of "maybe don't become stalker-level obsessed with an ecoterrorist who doesn't love you."

Hi hello did you know that Elon Musk's third Neuralink patient (previously nonverbal) is "getting help from Grok" to communicate

and I hope -- I REALLY HOPE -- he's not stuck in his own brain listening as a robot talks for him without his input because this, to me, would be worse than death

This patient’s Neuralink brain implant gets a boost from generative AI

A patient who types with his brain thanks to a Neuralink implant is using AI chatbots to speed things up.

He definitely does, based on his comments about migrants. Even if he hasn't specifically learned of this particular event, I'm confident he would give it his blessing.

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.

I resisted the urge to curse out the NP for even asking, because I don't know whose fault it is that it was even a question.
