A Slate Truck is $24,950. Because America asked for an affordable new truck.

Pricing excludes taxes, title, license, registration, governmental fees, destination charges, documentation fees, and any optional equipment. State and local incentives may also be available.

Google is turning Android into a walled garden. Mandatory ID, registration fees, and a 9-step 'advanced flow' for sideloading? That's not security, it's a monopoly move. https://t.co/FlY4FwkDCK @AlteredDeal #KeepAndroidOpen

It's so sad that a runner passed away on Tuesday during the Cocodona 250 Mile, & our hearts are with those affected.

Here's the publicly available info on this tragedy: https://t.co/UrPRlUlrR6

[iRunFar @iRunFar]

Simply, WOW! Rachel Entrekin won the Cocodona 250 Mile outright in an overall record time, while Kilian Korth set a men's record to win the men's race.

The one thing you have to do before any home birth is figure out exactly how far you are from a hospital and how long it would take you to get there in an ambulance.

🦔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.

Me: “OMG Barkley is on!!”

Normal person: “The what?”

Me: “It’s this crazy race in TN that only 20 ppl have finished in 40 years.”

Normal person: “Wow, are you gonna watch?”

Me: “You don’t watch, you follow some guy’s Twitter!”

Normal person….

Pharmaceutical ads could be banned from television. CNN says it could "cripple" them.

Pharma ads make up one in four ad minutes on TV — $5 billion worth.

Yet studies say half of prescriptions are unnecessary.

And one in four is harmful.

Food insecurity is defined as having limited or uncertain access to nutritious food needed for an active, healthy life. This JAMA Patient Page describes food insecurity, its health effects, and the pros and cons of screening for food insecurity. https://t.co/FTLdcnSfTR

Any chance we can stop direct-to-consumer advertising (pharmaceutical ads) soon?

This would be a positive step towards a Healthier America.
