Seeing a lot of quotes about Starlink… how do I tell them that the Starlink in the heli wasn’t working at all and this is all cellular. Radio has crazy range when there’s nothing to obstruct it 🙂↕️

🦔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…
I hate reducing the games from 48 minutes to 40* more than I hate reducing the season from 82 games to whatever (and I hate that a lot). The NBA could easily fit most 48-minute games into a two-hour broadcast window with some obvious tweaks. Start games on time, slash the number of team-called timeouts, send all reviews the replay center, where an off-site official has 30 seconds to make the call and cut halftime to 10 minutes. Most people aren’t in on this one, but the Elam ending would help too. *Going from 48 minutes to 40 has far too severe implications for league history.
