What are AI hallucinations? Why AIs sometimes make things up
What are AI hallucinations? Why AIs sometimes make things up
When AI systems try to bridge gaps in their training data, the results can be wildly off the mark: fabrications and non sequiturs researchers call hallucinations.

Where do weather forecasts come from? #NOAA’s satellites, radar, and experts work behind the scenes to track storms, predict weather, and send out critical alerts. Without them, forecasting would be a lot less reliable, atmospheric scientist Kari Bowen @cires.colorado.edu explains:

At a time when many social-media sites have abandoned their safeguards against mis- and disinformation, Wikipedia is a bastion of transparency and accessible knowledge. So maybe it should come as no surprise that Elon Musk has been attacking it.

Lately, Musk’s beef has merged with a general conviction on the right that the site is biased against conservatives.
