This World Cup, everyone with Norway 🇳🇴

The joy Norway experienced at the end of the match after defeating Israel 5-0:

Norway donated all the match's proceeds to Palestine.

🦔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.

The intent is to end the UN, and this Board would now be controlled by a wealthy few and be funded $10b by US taxpayers‼️
This can’t be constitutional‼️

Ventilation works. Do you want to reduce the number of times you and your kids get sick? There's an easy solution here:

[Jason Bassler @JasonBassler1]

If Obama was the drone king,
Trump is the surveillance king. 👑

Under Trump, federal spending on surveillance tech is exploding: social‑media monitoring tools, facial recognition systems, license‑plate tracking networks.

At the same time, new White House executive orders are stripping away long-standing privacy protections, giving ICE fresh workarounds to access and share data on millions of Americans.

What that means:

-ICE agents can scan your face or take your fingerprints in the field with smartphone apps

-Biometric data can be stored for years, even if you’re a U.S. citizen

-There are no established public rules on data use, retention, or how to challenge errors

-Surveillance is expanding beyond immigration enforcement and into domestic monitoring

The drones were overseas.

The surveillance is here.
And this time, the target isn’t “them.” It’s you.

5 things Corrupt leaders don't want conservatives and liberals realizing:

1. Ban hedge funds from buying single-family homes.

2. Prohibit Congress and families from stock trading.

3. Remove big money from politics: Ban unions, corporations, super PACs; limit individual donations to $100 per election.

4. Require single-issue bills, no hidden provisions.

5. Eliminate foreign influence in politics and elections.

Same. I don’t think it’s radical to think that healthcare and education and housing and clothing should be a human right.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

BREAKING: A new UN report finds that Israel’s assault on Gaza - with the destruction of health care, education, infrastructure, even the banking system - has erased 69 years of human development, marking the worst economic collapse ever recorded.
This is not war: it is genocide.

@AP What @AP means to say is:

Illegal Israeli settlers committed terrorism against a Palestinian village in the WB by vandalising and burning down their mosque, one day after Israeli leaders gave a performative condemnation of a previous settler attack on Palestinians, to media.

No #GUARD act. It’s a false appeal to parents to protect their children that actually results in an increase of state-sanctioned terror. #NoGUARDAct

[EFF @EFF]

Protecting young people’s online safety is incredibly important, but to do so by forcing invasive ID checks, criminalizing AI tools, and banning teens from legitimate digital spaces is not a good way out of this. Tell Congress to oppose the GUARD Act today. https://t.co/UfSB7tkUie
