PROFESSORS RESPONSE @lia #anatomy #ai #fyp #chatgpt #anatomyandphysiology TikTok video by lia

This woman is in a nursing program & the entire textbook for her anatomy class is wrong because it was written by a professor who used chatgpt to generate the images & possibly the text. She complained to the prof, then the university— they’ve done NOTHING about it.

Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 was published OTD in 1953.

Kara Walker Creates Haunted Beast From Butchered Confederate Statue This is incredible: artist Kara Walker took a statue of Confederate general Stonewall Jackson that had stood in Charlottesville, Virginia until 2021, chopped it up, and reconstituted it into a disfigured beast. It’s

Solidarity!! Last week, Indiana University fired the director of student media & halted print on the Indiana Daily Student newspaper. Yesterday, Purdue’s student paper printed the banned edition & drove two hours to deliver it. Incredible www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/l...

#nokings Ypsilanti MI. Guessing about 8,000 people. Lots of inflatable frogs, bunnies, cats. Squirrel in keffiyah and squirrel in bandana. All peaceful. Many US flags. Toddlers and old people, everyone in between. Ain’t that America, as the man says.

A tumblr post that reads "WHo would have believed that the perfect wikipedia photo caption could have been improved upon?" Two identical images are then side by side. The first caption is "Piper Kerr, a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904". The Caption for the image on the left reads, "Piper Kerr (right), a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904"

i feel like i need to share this oldie but a goodie today

My photo shows a red ceramic flask contained within an intricate bet bag with two plaited handles and a tassel at the bottom. The net bag was woven from linen string. Ancient Egyptian, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Qurna, 2nd Intermediate Period, 17th Dynasty, c.1585-1545 BC

Wow, this intricate net bag is an extraordinary survival from ancient Egypt 3,600 years ago!

Made from linen string, it was used to suspend the ceramic flask from a wooden carrying pole.

The Pushkin job: unmasking the thieves behind an international rare books heist

As many as 170 rare and valuable editions of Russian classics were stolen from libraries across Europe. Were the thieves merely low-level opportunists, or were bigger forces at work?

Very small Molotov cocktails? Maybe as party favors? 😀

I like to think of the lower right one as the first Minoan shopping bag.

Yikes. I'm sorry I read *that* piece. Though to borrow a quote, I don't know what I was expecting.

That got dark quickly.

I will say that the current political state of play has broadened my French vocabulary far beyond what I learned in high school. "antifasciste," "fuir," etc.

Museo Egizio Turin photo showing a small, dark-blue, core-formed, round glass jar which tapers in at the shoulders below the neck. It has yellow, white, and light blue festoon decoration trailed around the main body. There is a single yellow trail just below the neck of the jar. There is a dark-blue circular glass lid, the top of which is adorned with two dark-blue duck heads with yellow bills, a yellow trailed stripe on the top of each duck’s head, and indents for their eyes. The jar is displayed on a perspex (?) stand against a grey background. Glass jar dimensions: 7.6 cm x 9.6 cm. Core-forming is one of the earliest glassmaking techniques. Glassmakers shaped the body of the vessel around a core, wound colored trails around it. They then let the vessel cool and removed the core.

A 3,500 year-old Egyptian glass cosmetic jar with two little duck heads!

Glass was a relatively new material at that time, so this jar would have been a precious possession.

Hey all, I'm trying to get a baseline for how good people are at detecting whether fiction is AI-generated or human-written (most of the research on this is for nonfiction and my hypothesis is we're better with fiction).

If you have time, give it a try?
