AI Translations Are Adding ‘Hallucinations’ to Wikipedia Articles AI translated articles swapped sources or added unsourced sentences with no explanation, while others added paragraphs sourced from completely unrelated material.

NEW: Wikipedia editors have implemented new policies and restricted a number of contributors who were paid to use AI to translate existing Wikipedia articles into other languages after they discovered these AI translations added AI “hallucinations,” or errors, to the resulting article.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Hell yes to both!!

“Compiling” is also integral training for life as a teacher and syllabus-builder.

There is no shortcut to doing hard things; you just have to do them, and then keep doing them until you get better at doing them.

This! The hardest part of graduate education is learning that you are in charge. Guard rails, yes, but otherwise it is up to you to craft your own education and to make yourself an expert.

anti-trans Dems ate shit last night

“This is the most transparent Department of Justice in history,” said an unidentified spokeswoman.

Superb.

What Alexis de Tocqueville taught me about recovering from a brain injury When we are ill, we need expertise more than ever, yet our agency feels fragile. The best clinicians recognize this, a patient writes.

“In democracies, people grant legitimacy not only to those with superior knowledge but also to those whose experience mirrors their own. We listen not just vertically, to institutions, but horizontally, to one another. And we often listen better to the horizontal voice.” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

I remember trying some sort of index card thinking exercise and having a floor covered with different colored cards.

Farming that off to AI would have robbed you of the exact point of the exercise.

LOLOL oh noooooo

LOL. We were also *the worst* to be around that summer.

It's always Butler O'Clock in this household.

So correct.

It's always Butler O'Clock in this household.

It was also...fun? I think that's something we don't talk about enough. The process of discovery is very cool.

100%

Aw! I would love the image! I can make it!

THE STRUGGLE IS THE POINT. Not struggling for struggle sake, but for learning's sake. Comps are not just about reading, but locating and deciding what to read and why.

Where did you get these??

FYI (for funsies), my comps exams were in

1. U.S. History, post-1865
2. History of Medicine
3. History of the American Family

And I had an oral and written exam.

It also put me in charge of my research at the very beginning of the process. Gaining that independence and skill set is vital for being able to complete the dissertation. I know a few people who didn't finish because they had trouble with that part.

This reminds me of when I was a PhD candidate during comps (prelims). I was surprised that *I* had to put together all 3 of my reading lists instead of my committee. But then I realized that the act of compiling was an important learning experience.

It’s time to let people who were born in 1947 have a chance.

Breaking: Arkansas Democrats just flipped a Republican seat It's the ninth red-to-blue pickup in a special election in Trump's second term

JUST IN: Democrat Alex Holladay has flipped a GOP-held seat in *Arkansas*.

Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried hard to delay this race and wanted the seat to stay vacant for 8+ months, but the courts told her to hold it today. If she was worried, she was right to be.

Our full recap:

Ah, great. I'm sure that the guy whose father we killed will be very interested in negotiating about stuff.

Well done, everyone.

Ah, we're replaying the hits from the 1980s.

I hope the Kurds remember the value of American promises to support them if they rise up...

This is my district. Worth pointing out Rodney Sadler isn't just a rhetorical activist; he's actually been arrested at protests. Contrast with Cunningham, whose vote was "decisive" because it gave the GOP the final vote they needed to *override the governor's veto* of the ICE compliance bill.

What could possibly go amiss with a subversion cell armed and trained by the CIA?
