I told a friend about an AI hallucination where the LLM provided a scientific citation that doesn't exist. His response "soon the computer will learn to write the fake paper and post it online to provide the evidence it just falsely cited"

In 1959, Bertrand Russell stated "Love is wise; hatred is foolish" How have we been doing over the past 64 years? Have we learned "a tolerance that allows for the continuation of human life on this planet"?

It is another ‘Dear Prof’ day.
Dear Prof,
6 years without you feels like an eternity.
We remember and honor your precious memory again this day. Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed and very dear”

Prof’s life was a blessing, and his memory, a treasure. Affectionately admired, loved and deeply missed.
Sleep on peacefully !!!

Wonderful article by @NickKristof in @nytimes about the incredible progress made across the world and especially in Sierra Leone. Proud of the work that @UNFPA and @UNFPASierraleon have done to support these positive results.

@AndrewYNg @OpenAI Cannot recommend this course more! It was excellent for programmers and non-programmers.

[Howard Friedman @howardsfriedman]

@AndrewYNg @AndrewYNg There is some very exciting work going on with the @TheLancet Commissions on 21st Century Health Threats that speaks to the very same question of risks. Please drop me a note if you want to learn more.

Once in a while, I read a book that vastly opens up my world view. Ed Yong's An Immense World is amazing! Can't recommend it enough - you will gain an appreciation of the incredible capabilities that many animals have that go far beyond our own senses.
Thank you @edyong209

Thank you @ChelseaClinton for sharing - as @Atayeshe stated "If every pregnant woman had access to a well-trained, caring midwife, we would be much closer to a world where every childbirth is safe" yet there is a global shortage of 900,000 midwives

[Chelsea Clinton @ChelseaClinton]

The lack of investment in maternal and newborn health, as reported by @WHO, is alarming. Globally, a mother or child dies every 7 seconds from preventable or treatable causes. Access to affordable healthcare and family planning resources saves lives:  https://t.co/iV86cLTJDb

[UNFPA East and Southern Africa @UNFPA_ESARO]

We welcome @UNFPA colleagues & partners in #SouthAfrica for #IMNHC2023. Proud of the solid collaboration & strengthened partnership to ending preventable maternal & newborn deaths. Midwives play a critical role, & together, we can empower midwives & achieve the #GlobalGoals.
