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.

Absolutely love this twitter classic:

Exchange between two twitter users. A man called Scott Castaneda write to Tom Morella, "I use to be a fan until your political opinions come out. Music is my sanctuary and the last thing I want to hear is political bs when I'm listening to music. As far as I'm concerned you and pink are completely done. Keep running your mouth and ruining your fan base." User Howard Finklestein replies, "What 'machine' did you think he was raining against? The dishwasher?"

Its almost like anti-porn laws are never actually about porn. 🤔

Mike Stabile @mikestabile.bsky.social · 2d

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

Can I just say it’s nice to see a frog used as a mascot and taking power from the one used and twisted by the right. Big difference takes balls and humour to be them frogs on the line compared to a faceless person behind a racist meme.

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

hmm this Art. it speaks to me

screenshot from tumblr. username @matthewsiji.com says "It's 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousness of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4"

username crazy-pages reblogs with the added note: "I can't decide if it's better if they're not really uploaded into the cloud, they just all tricked themselves into thinking a GPT model trained on their brain is them, so she's playing with their fake echoes in a macabre imitation of the immortality they deluded themselves into believing they had. Or if they're real and she's just about to torment them forever"

The Discord age-verification hack is much worse than was originally reported. 70,000 users were affected, with images of IDs, selfies, user names, IP addresses and, in some cases, financial details.

Hackers are posting screenshots from over 1.5 terabytes of stolen data.

Also, for the same reason:

NEVER sign up for or RSVP to a protest. I don't care who is running it. Don't do it.

NEVER bring your phone to a protest or action and if you absolutely must, disable all location services and biometrics.

Reminder that everything you post can be seen by law enforcement.

Be smart, especially now, and don't snitch on yourself. Posting specifics about actions or promoting violence on social media is just a bad idea. There's a reason organizers and activists use Signal. You can't resist from a cage.
