In line with #FIFA’s #seating policy, #Trump has found that his seat is now in the corner of a stadium, behind a pillar. Not only that on closer inspection his FIFA #peace prize turns out to be a #war token. 🤣

LLMs are poisoning the knowledge base that has been painstakingly accumulated over the course of human history. We will, if this is allowed to continue, find that we have "destroyed the Library of Alexandria" once again. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-01100-y?utm_source=Live+Audience&utm_campaign=4b50fd2341-nature-briefing-daily-20260408&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-33f35e09ea-49717696

Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real

Bixonimania doesn’t exist except in a clutch of obviously bogus academic papers. So why did AI chatbots warn people about this fictional illness?

Thank goodness the slaughter in #Iran has stopped. #Trump killed a whole lot of people, lost lives of US servicemen, destroyed infrastructure, murdered children, spent billions, lost millions in military hardware, and sent the world into recession. Yet Iran still enriches uranium, probably now really does want a nuclear weapon, and controls who does and does not go through the strait of Hormuz. Trump's "victory" has turned to ashes in his mouth. #uspol

If the news are correct, the US went to war, killed many people, dramatically reduced its arsenal, increase oil prices and generated inflation all over the world, spent billions in the process... to end up in a worse situation than before the war.
