A professor places an AI trap in a written assignment — an instruction to ChatGPT about using the word Madagascar somewhere that makes no sense.

This instruction was written with white text on white, which students did not see, but when copying the assignment into ChatGPT, the white text was read as an instruction and followed by AI.

Result: 32 of 35 students were busted for letting AI do their homework. Who will keep the wheels turning, when our generation is gone?

Lala, now a Category 1 hurricane, looks pretty healthy on radar imagery as it makes a close approach toward Hawaii's Big Island, where it may make landfall (if so, would be first HI landfall since 1992). Either way, widespread and potentially serious flash flooding is expected.

I'm surprised they didn't do this a long time ago. Metro and City have been doing this for awhile now.

Oh shit. Literally.

I searched for "Men in fezes driving small cars" and it's a good thing that Google didn't override my search with what it thought I might have wanted.

This is a very 2026 map title. 👀

But it also illustrates importantance of circumspection when considering potential failure modes that can interact and cause seemingly implausible cascading consequences in complex systems (such as record heat, jellyfish swarms, & power grids).

Update: the German army now sent two tanks to the wildfire area to create safe fire break lines in the WWII ammunition contaminated area!! Bizarre times...

Hey Fedi: Is there any demand for "Mechanics Illustrated" magazine from 1979 to the mid 1980s?

I just found someone's stash, and they're about to go in recycling...

So in my home state in Germany there is a forest on fire, the largest wildfire in the history of North Rhine-Westfalia.
Size wise nothing compared to what we see here in the US, but there is a little quirk: firefighters have to be extra cautious and can't access all areas, because of WWII ammunition, mines and grenades that still are in the soil.
I remember hiking that general area with my parents in the 1980s and occasionally finding rifle rounds.
Wars have long lasting consequences.

The doctor who claimed that vaccines cause autism lost his medical license for faking for the study. But his lies and the damage he did to public health persist long after his paper was pulled. This is why science communication is so difficult; all it takes is one grifter.

Vicious attack on an unsuspecting doggy!! 😭

Sooooo the military fiascos playing themselves out right now.

Is the tangerine temper tantrum just following the directions of its puppet master - in an attempt to weaken US forces?

And will this flip military families against dear leader come elections, insurrections, or whatever comes next?

Oh my God, it’s cloudy and cool. Could have this kind of weather all year long.
