I can't with these deeply unserious people.

AI accurately spots medical disorder from privacy-conscious hand images | Kobe University News site An AI can accurately diagnose a rare endocrinological condition just by analyzing pictures of the back of the hand and the clenched fist.

I'm anti-AI for many things and many reasons, but AI for things like this? Awesome. More please.

Nice to see it's a guy this time instead of a woman having to do the performative Stand By Your Man BS. #equalrights

what the what????

Emmanuel Damas, 56, died in ICE custody on Monday.

Damas came to the U.S. from Haiti seeking asylum. After six months in ICE custody—the last four at CoreCivic's Florence Correctional Center—he died from complications from a tooth infection.

A tooth infection.

He talks like a gamer boasting about his rad take-down of a mid-game boss level.

The thing I don’t get is why doors still have handles, surely by now we should be opening them from an app which you have to load every time you want to walk from one room to another

The data analyst in me is compelled to point out that this matches the general rate of decline PLUS the drops we see when there are major snowfalls (there were two) and severe cold spells (there was one that lasted for a week). I'm still gonna celebrate tho.

Heh. The water company installed a new meter today. When the tech left, he handed me a card telling me how I can download an app to interact with my new water meter.

"Hey honey, turn off the living room lights."

"I can't, my phone is dead, I'll do it when my phone is charged again."

Mine as well. But does it have a built-in timer or delay setting so I can have it run on off-peak hours? No. One step "forward," three steps back.

and the political stuff is both sides. A woman from my church who's in her 80s and fiercely liberal is reposting fake stories "directly from the epstein files" that include murder and cannibalism. It's like PizzaGate for Lefties.

I still have FB to stay in touch with relatives and friends (mostly older folks), and if you haven't checked on your older FB friends lately, boy howdy are they swallowing AI slop hook, line, and sinker. Crap "feel good" stories with fake pictures and influencers posting political rage-bait... sigh.

I always assume everyone sees everything Marcy posts.

This is beautiful, thank you

I wish I could quit Brooklyn. #NOKINGS #YESKINGSCOUNTY

Hey @wnyc.org not the first time on the Brian Lehrer show I'm hearing papers moving and someone writing on paper.

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

Mystery Solved! Turns out it is "Webinar.tv" whose disgusting and unethical business model is: register for a zoom call under a fake name and email address, record it without consent and put it on a public website with genAI summary and everyone's names and faces and then charge for access. WTAF.

If you can't be bothered to write it, why should I bother to read it?

yeet this shit into the sun.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
