This exchange is peddling the sort of nonsense that happens on X every single day, only there it goes viral for an hour before a Community Note is proposed (and never actually gets published because that system is as broken as Congress).

My personal website is seeing referrals from what I presume is the members area of a Radiology website. Makes me wonder whether my recent case is being discussed there.

This kind of mess was exactly what concerned parties had in mind when warning about British sport taking in big oil money, whether from Russia or the Middle East. A corrupting force from top to bottom (which, incidentally, is exactly where City should now be sent).

Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"

Big AI deal, not least because AMD gains Fei-Fei Li herself. She joins AMD as chief scientist.

Free idea for Meta: Upsell Muse users to better models by calling it simply the "Thinking Cap". Have the avatar put it on when dealing with harder tasks. (A marketing consultancy would charge you thousands of dollars for an idea like that)

OpenAI has a real blind spot, here. They talk about and present their products as if everyone is as deep in the weeds as they are.

Awkward time in NY where it's cool enough outside to warrant a light jacket, but the subway stations still have the wretched retained heat of summer. Gross.
