We found that AI tools - both general like #ChatGPT and research-specific like #Elicit - lack the reliability, relevancy and accuracy to summarise research for teachers. This is important because we have been sold the idea that AI will make research more accessible.

The old joke was Facebook knew what you did with friends, and Google knew what you did alone. New research reveals that Meta and Yandex have discovered a method to de-anonymize Android users and associate their browsing histories with persistent IDs. #privacyinvasion arstechnica.com/security/202...

I’d seen humans do irrational things (a lot of irrational things) and encounter situations that made them act in ways that were counterproductive at best.

I have experienced multiple earthquakes, but this video of a strike slip earthquake in Myanmar on March 28 triggering a surface rupture and a large and dramatic horizontal displacement—the first ever caught on camera—is astonishing. Keep your eyes on the right third of the screen, beyond the gate.

We all say that piece about what to read after Sinners. Really proud of @neyshaplays.bsky.social curating a list of games, books, comics, and movies that tell powerful, Southern Gothic, and supernatural stories all centered on Black characters or are from Black creatives. 👇🏾read the list

REVIEW: The breezy caper series “Leverage: Redemption” is back for Season 3 and I can’t express how satisfying it is to watch a television show that doesn’t pretend we have to accept that systems are permanently rigged and we’re all doomed

The Oprah special has incorrect information about brain health and menopause that could scare a lot of women. Surprise, the expert who was interviewed invented a compounded estrogen to treat those problems. vajenda.substack.com/p/menopause-...

I’m disgusted that I never knew this until now. We need to know ALL of American history, not just the parts someone else decided was appropriate. They have no right to take knowledge from us that is our birthright as Americans—especially now with a gov’t determined to censor all they can 😠

Greg Gutfeld went on and on about how women's greatest gift is creation (motherhood) as he sat next to Dana Perino, a 52-year-old woman who never had children. Women can exist and have worth without having children.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

When a charity sends you money as part of a donation solicitation, isn’t that an oxymoron? Do they ever get enough of a return to outweigh the money they waste sending to people who don’t donate (plus the cost of the mailing and supplies)?

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?
