@Counting__Crows @naturevideos Not a Lyrebird but that one doing the chainsaw is still pretty amazing.

Imagine being lost in the woods hearing this

🦔A researcher invented a fake eye condition called bixonimania, uploaded two obviously fraudulent papers about it to an academic server, and watched major AI systems present it as real medicine within weeks. The fake papers thanked Starfleet Academy, cited funding from the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation and the University of Fellowship of the Ring, and stated mid-paper that the entire thing was made up. Google's Gemini told users it was caused by blue light. Perplexity cited its prevalence at one in 90,000 people. ChatGPT advised users whether their symptoms matched. The fake research was then cited in a peer-reviewed journal that only retracted it after Nature contacted the publisher. My Take The researcher made the papers as obviously fake as possible on purpose. The AI systems didn't catch it. Neither did the human researchers who cited it in real journals, which means people are feeding AI-generated references into their work without reading what they're actually citing. I've covered the FDA using AI for drug review, the NYC hospital CEO ready to replace radiologists, and ChatGPT Health launching this year. All of that is happening in the same environment where a condition funded by a Simpsons character and endorsed by the crew of the Enterprise was being presented as emerging medical consensus. The people making these deployment decisions seem to believe the pipeline from research to AI to patient is more supervised than it actually is. This experiment suggests it isn't supervised much at all. Hedgie🤗 nature.com/articles/d4158…

@mitchellvii ‘Trump threatened to destroy Iran if they didn’t do what he knew they wouldn’t do, and didn’t follow through because he wanted them not to do what he said he wanted them to do because he wants them to do what they’re doing.’

@im_the_cat__ @JohnRowsthorne @ynotfish1 Not bought, no. But subservient to their masters in some cases, and incompetent in others…

If the Israeli ambassador is indeed addressing the National Press Club in Canberra tomorrow I hope there are trenchant, well-researched, insistent, questions about the number of journalists Israel has killed in Gaza and elsewhere.

@fox66 The lobbyists have the best expensive lunches

#insiders Why do Neo-Cons like Sheridan love gas? It’s always been an environmental disaster?

Hastie seems to have passed the "FFS Anybody Not Taylor" test from the panel #insiders

Who is the most contemptible?

@MikeCarlton01 @CorruptNSW The more you learn of Hegseth, the worse he becomes. In a decent world a functioning media would stop men like him the very first day his face got on TV. Hegseth is probably closest to a Murdoch avatar (Fox News itself now uses Jesse Waters). A solipsistic caricature. 360° evil.

Gott mitt uns !

the judi dench cameo fucking sent me 🤣😭

@Baumann_Mac @MikeCarlton01 There will be PhDs based on why all the surrealist, absurdist dystopian comedies & grim doomsaying preceded, rather than followed, the horrifying realities. Despite all the warnings, how did we end up being run by exaggerated cartoon villains with such a childishly evil script?

So the entire globe is convulsed by a war of the Islamist fanatics of Iran, Netanyahu’s genocidal Israeli regime, and the lying psychopath in the White House with his arse-licking gang of real estate spivs and TV talkshow hosts. What a world.

@MichaelWestBiz @OzraeliAvi There's an organisation that has spent the last couple of years coming up with new ways to attack ambulances. Small arms, snipers, grenades, mortars, antitank rounds, helicopter gunships, quadcopters, UAVs, guns & Hellfires from F15s, F16s, F35s - You name it, the IDF has done it

@OzraeliAvi hunting down? come on, everybody knows who attacks ambulances

🚨 Piers Morgan is reportedly hunting down the terrorists behind the ambulance attack in London… so he can put them on to “debate” Rabbi Shmuley. Because making antisemites look good is the business model. And business is good.

Curiously, the Iranians seem entirely unaware of this interesting development…

@Microinteracti1 Murphy's Law: The most difficult phases of three-day wars are the first two years. 😉

Operation Rolling Thunder. From 1965 to 1968, the United States conducted a sustained bombing campaign against North Vietnam. The goal was to break the will of the North Vietnamese government and people. To make the cost of continuing the war too high to bear. They dropped 864,000 tons of bombs. The will was not broken. So they escalated. Operation Linebacker. Operation Linebacker II, the Christmas Bombings of 1972: twelve days of around-the-clock bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong, described by some U.S. generals as trying to "bomb them back to the Stone Age." Hospitals were hit. Residential areas were hit. Bạch Mai Hospital, the largest hospital in North Vietnam, was hit repeatedly. After the Christmas Bombings, the North Vietnamese negotiating position at the Paris Peace talks did not weaken. It strengthened. They bombed us into refusing to surrender. Every bomb that fell on a hospital, every family killed in their home, every village erased from the map created ten more people who would die before they accepted foreign domination. This is what American strategists, with all their degrees and all their think tanks and all their war games, failed to understand about the people they were trying to break. You cannot bomb dignity out of people who have decided they would rather die than give it up.
