Please don’t trust your chatbot for medical advice Four separate studies all point in the same direction

"Four studies in four journals published in the space of a few months reaching essentially the same conclusion is a crystal clear indicator that #chatbots, especially when used by amateurs, simply cannot be trusted." ~ Gary Marcus

Taking Tylenol during pregnancy has no link to autism, new study finds Trump has pushed unfounded claims of Tylenol use in pregnancy being tied to ‘a very increased risk of autism’

Yet another study shows Tylenol does not cause autism. RFK Jr. is lying to the public and putting people at risk. He must go. Tell your Rep to support impeachment: zurl.co/HkYVm

WTF is happening between Anthropic and the Pentagon?

@theverge.com's @haydenfield.bsky.social joins @eggerdc.bsky.social on Bulwark Takes to chat it over.

Is AI already killing people by accident? The writer Tyler Austin Harper (of The Atlantic, etc.) sent me a thread this morning, asking whether a mistargeting yesterday that killed nearly 150 school children in Iran could have been the result of AI.

"By analogy, if one rolled dice (a physical instantiation of very simply algorithm) to pick targets, one would not blame the dice for the deaths, but those who chose to leave life or death to chance in the first place." ~ Gary Marcus

It happened so fast it made everyone's head spin in the legal profession—and no doubt caused the panic that led other firms to capitulate.

It never really made sense.

Google to pay $68 million over allegations its voice assistant eavesdropped on users Class-action lawsuit alleged that Google's voice assistant illegally recorded and shared private conversations with advertisers.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

We will not let his impact be erased. Over the weekend, I read many online tributes to him by his family, friends and colleagues. Using his friends' words to describe him, I created a portrait of Alex to help show who he really was.
3/4

He was a son, a friend, and a kindhearted soul who, as his parents stated, "wanted to make a difference in this world." He died as he lived, protecting others. His last act was trying to protect a woman. That is the definition of a hero.

Don’t let them rewrite Alex Pretti's story.
2/4

A word cloud portrait of Alex Pretti shaped like a silhouette, filled with words used to describe him, like Nurse, Kind, Hero, and VA Hospital. Text on the right quotes his parents describing his heroism.

The federal government is trying to smear the name of Alex Pretti. They are lying to justify the unjustifiable. But those who knew him know the truth.

He was a 37-year-old ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA Hospital who dedicated his life to caring for American veterans.
