When I worked in news I was curious about the tech and tested it for summarizing lengthy court documents and interview transcripts. Every test returned at least some incorrect info, including made up details or even fake quotes! Worse than useless, actually harmful, for a journalist to use.
suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research:
they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.

I have to use Gemini to confirm if the AI-generated image was made by Gemini. 🤮
Better than no method but still, AI sucks and media literacy is cooked.

Big news in Vancouver: Hastings Racecourse has announced it is permanently ending operations at the venerable racetrack, after the province pulled the revenue it gets from the slot machines on site.
A lot of moving parts to a very valuable piece of land in the city.

For those curious about the Conservative Party saying they've removed John Rustad for "professional incapacitation", here's the relevant part of their constitution.
One imagines the board giving legal cover by saying "incapacitation" can involve being "professionally unable to carry out duties".

It gives me great pleasure to share the news that Daniel Wagner is joining the CanucksArmy team! When Daniel shared the news last week that his former place of work was no longer interested in covering the Vancouver Canucks and that he had been let go, we immediately began working on bringing Daniel to the CA team….
