Stuff like that happens to me all the time.




🦔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…





🇮🇷 The Strait is "open" but 800 ships are still stuck and the water is full of mines... Iran published a chart showing a massive "danger zone" in Hormuz where sea mines have been planted since the war began. Only three ships have passed through since the ceasefire. The alternative route pushes vessels closer to Iran's mainland, directly under Tehran's watch. Iran wants to keep control and charge every ship that passes. The UK is pushing back on tolls. And Tehran is threatening to shut it all down again if Israel keeps bombing Lebanon. A ceasefire with a minefield right in the center of it. Source: France24

Trump's three angry Truth Social posts in the last hour suggest he may not be too happy about Melania's statement on Epstein. She doesn't bother defending Donald. And her reminder that Epstein didn't act alone is a kind of encouragement to look again into what Donald was up to.

🚨 BREAKING: Israel was not part of the Iran ceasefire negotiations — and found out the deal was done at the last minute, per WSJ.

'Boþe groundez and þe greuez, grene ar her wedez, Bryddez busken to bylde, and bremlych syngen For solace of þe softe somer þat sues þerafter...' A beautiful passage from 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight', on how spring triumphs after the testing time of Lent.
