Ok this needs to be made extremely illegal

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.

It wasn't widely available, which I didn't learn for a very long time.

If I were doing soda I'd bring back Storm, which was a lemon-lime soda test marketed in my area, and was my favorite for the couple years it was available, and has been gone for almost 25 years

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

He’s stopped when I’ve told him what he needs to do for me to send money. Like specific actual things.

“When this is over – and it will end – there has to be a sustained and severe campaign of retribution, from Trump down to the masked ICE fascists who carried this out,” he said. “No f—ing kumbaya. Consequences.”

Under Trump, there is no law. The people want payback

Forget accountability, says legal expert. Think retribution.

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

There are some similarities with the Lando stuff too, I suspect they surveyed various written material to pick and choose the parts they liked and build from there. Solo's production was such a mess it's hard to really say for sure though.

Scarecasmorator @sarcasmorator.bsky.social · 21h

yeah I'm sure it was one of the sources they kinda remixed for that. a lot of elements of the old books and comics have turned up in the Disney stuff in various forms.

That would be a weird one to read piecemeal, being the middle part of a trilogy

Some of those books were very bad! But the covers were always great.
