When AI was added to a tool for sinus surgery: “Cerebrospinal fluid leaked from one patient’s nose. In another… a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured”

The indie Filipino short film "The Lovers" (Studio Heartbreak) is now complete, and will be released this summer on Youtube.
In the meantime, here's a nice official poster illustrated by Ami Thompson.

Two pictures of David Lynch from his YouTube series during lockdown. In panel one he says "good morning, everyone. It's..." In panel two he looks to the side in slightly aggrieved perplexity and the caption reads "It's an absolute shitshow out there, today." Thanks to @sadpeaks on IG for this!
On this day one year ago, #DavidLynch left us for places wonderful and strange. Rest in Peace.

Illustrations I did for Cassandra Khaw’s “The Library at Hellebore”
ink drawing- a golden apple is passed between two angelic figures. On the left, one has her hands hovering above the apple and her wings are unfurled, leaving her face exposed. On the right another figure holds her hands outstretched below the apple. Her wings are covering her face. The apple is shining and gold.
🍏 Hope passing between two years 🍏
Wishing you all a kind and happy 2026 💚

![on this issue in the context of GenAI-assisted knowledge work.
High task confidence is associated with users’ ability to delegate
tasks effectively, fostering better stewardship while maintaining
accountability. Conversely, lower self-confidence may lead users to
rely more on AI, potentially diminishing their critical engagement
and independent problem-solving skills. This reliance on AI can be
seen as a form of cognitive offloading [8], where users depend on
AI to perform tasks they feel less confident in handling themselves.
Confidence in AI is associated with reduced critical thinking
effort, while self-confidence is associated with increased critical
thinking effort. This duality indicates that design strategies should
focus on balancing these aspects. The aims are both to improve
the quality of AI-assisted tasks and also to empower users to develop their skills and maintain a balanced “relationship” with AI.
To address task confidence recalibration, AI tools could incorporate feedback mechanisms that help users gauge the reliability of
AI outputs, when to trust the AI and when to apply their critical
thinking skills. This aligns with the goals of explainable AI [33].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:66lbtw2porscqpmair6mir37/bafkreicespkczdpxpe3zqcbrxiac3rs2nluxsnqykkmeidacnweas4fcwu)

Naturally: the paper blames "low self confidence" rather than Microsoft's advertising blitz that is designed specifically to pressure users to treat a grammar checking tool like it has deep, reliable knowledge and human-like logic skills.

I really don't think I've ever seen a technology that is so singularly effective at taking a pre-existing form of rot or brokenness in institutions and lighting it on fire.

Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong
Screencap of a Tumblr post from genderkoolaid: "in order to not succumb to sex negative conservatism you have to accept that people will get off to things that are upsetting to you. and you cannot assume anything about what they have or have not experienced, what they do or do not believe, and how they act based solely on what gets them off. even it it's extremely confusing and disturbing to you. there are people who have only ever had heterosexual vanilla sex in missionary with the lights off, who actively contribute to more real world harm than your average fetish artist. kink is not a reliable source of information on someone's moral standing. it just feels good to think that way.
