Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

YouTube video by Trails of Arkansas Little bug crawling around on two tiny burrs. What’s the bug? #insects #biology #wildlife

Alright haven’t had any luck here with these yet but trying again: any idea what this bug is crawling around on a tiny burr in California? The burr is just a few mm long so bug is pretty small. Kinda looks like tiny termite? #biology #insects #science #Entomology youtu.be/DW0wKsotcNA?...

Beef up like real beef! Beefy protein powder is the only powder on the market that has the same ingredients used by actual cows to get beefy.

I think I solved it thanks to the Seek app! A yellow jacket abdomen. Not sure how it got inside on our floor!

Hey folks, what is this thing I found on my floor? Insect egg sac pod? Seed? Dehydrated banana slug with fungi growing on it? youtube.com/shorts/2B-vG...

In his Oval Office address on political violence, Trump lists the attempt on his life, the Scalise shooting, and attacks on ICE agents.

He does not mention Jan 6th, the attack on the Pelosi family, the Hortman murders, the kidnapping attempt on Gretchen Whitmer, or the fire at Gov Shapiro’s house.

Grok, what happens to the housing and labor markets of a country when 10% of the population is suddenly removed?

Seeing multiple ambien responses, but a milder version may be 3-4 glasses of wine between 4 and 8 pm.

love this new york times clip. they recently did a story about how sesame street's set has changed over the years, along with our urban politics.

And a lot of electricity demand is subjective/voluntary so who decides what demand is ok vs waste?

Already feel the need to add I don’t love AI slop or shitcoins. Just don’t think all AI or crypto is crap or wasteful.

People said similar things about crypto several years ago (that didn’t pan out). Both crypto and AI could be (energy or economic) bubbles. Rapidly declining cost of solar and batteries make me skeptical of this argument. What are your favorite sources of data on cost/consumption/supply trends?

Trump is trying to kill solar power—here's how to fight back Rooftop solar is a clean power miracle. Why are we killing it with red tape?

Australians and Europeans are installing rooftop solar for a third of the price that Americans pay. Overly complicated local regulations and slow permitting are to blame. But mayors and state legislatures have the power to fix it. By @billmckibben.bsky.social for @motherjones.com

I hope Grok also knows that the best way to wash a cybertruck is with saltwater and lemon juice. Let it sit for a few days and rinse with vinegar.

Screenshot: r/technology I recently heard about a teacher who instead of trying to circumvent students using ai, which is impossible, she made assignments by going "ask ChatGPT to write a report on this subject, and then research how and why it's wrong". Not only did the students discover that chatGPT is extremely wrong a lot of the time, it also lead them to realize that they should not use it as a primary source.

Teaching AI literacy.

(GenAI is wrong A LOT. And even though people tend to think it saves time, we now have randomized controlled trials that show situations where it takes *more* time even when participants self-report it's saving them time.)

In the late 90s, my AP European History (high school) teacher regularly assigned 40-60 pages a day. My guess is that the internet and smart phones have changed our minds dramatically.

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

Their Old Bay ones were good!
