A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations. She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly! Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

A diagram of the bones and (some) deep muscles of the hand and forearm. AI says that we only have four digits. It’s also identified a tendon as the median nerve, another tendon as the ulnar nerve, among other issues.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the neck. It hallucinated the “ennocleidomasid” muscle, and the “anterior scalpalin muscle”.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the lateral thigh. It says that the gluteus Maximus (the big juicy butt muscle) is on the anterior side. It also points to the quadriceps muscle and says “attattment”. It also says that the same structure is the tibia AND the deep fascia of the leg.

An AI generated diagram of the bones of the hand and forearm. This time AI says we have 6 digits. It also says that the radius is the ulnar artery. Among other many issues.

Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true. Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that. It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.

We are democratizing art. No longer will you have to pay someone who owns a data center just to generate pictures. With a pencil and notepad that costs less than a dollar, you too can create Artisanal Imagery.

For the second time this year, a well disguised Google ad has funneled me into making a purchase with a company I didn't intend. As someone in a technical field, I should know better, and I'm concerned that it's happened twice. Are bad sites getting more brazen? Should I slow down? Am I just tired?

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

Artists need to let this sink in: The thousands of followers who insist you stay there are actively hurting you at this point. You deserve a better audience who understands your rights and concerns. The sooner you rebuild, the easier it gets.

100% this. But also Google's excuse is bullshit. International Holocaust Remembrance Day... is on timeanddate. So is Black History Month. Google changed which holidays and occurrences feed they used to find one that excludes these days. This isn't efficency (not an excuse anyway), it's a choice.

Page that shows international Holocaust remembrance day in time and date's website

Page on Time and Date site that shows Black History Month at the beginning of February.

Calendar on time and date set to show Many occurrences that does include a display of first day of national black history month

Page on Time and Date showing Holocaust remembrance day on every year from 2020-2028

People on TikTok are reporting ICE raids happening in small cities in various states. To get past algorithmic censorship, they’re writing down the information on paper and holding up and shuffling through the handwritten signs as they talk about pretend subjects like shopping, food, and animals.

Screenshot of a young person holding up a sign that says “BREAKING: ICE IN KENTUCKY”

The algorithm-facing comment says, “Had to share these cute winter boots I just got!”

If you are one of the top ranked political officials you are not trolling. Part of trolling is that you're saying shit you can never do, so its mean but funny. It isn't trolling if you can, and have shown a willingness, to do all the things you are "trolling" to do aramzs.xyz/microblogs/t...

Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

Hi, so I've spent the past almost-decade studying research uses of public social media data, like e.g. ML researchers using content from Twitter, Reddit, and Mastodon. Anyway, buckle up this is about to be a VERY long thread with lots of thoughts and links to papers. 🧵

Love this discussion on the magic behind BSG. It boils down to work culture, and Hollywood or not, it's the same lesson. "Everybody had a sense of ownership and pride in what we were creating, because they were given the trust by the people at the top. We have faith that you know what to do. Go."

Really interesting study, and some good discussion in the replies. Seems dev experience is similar to other scenarios. - GenAI is great for scoped, well-understood problems. - Can be a boost day-to-day. - Slows you down if you try to ship what it gives you without reviewing and reworking.
