Printing presses kept their letters in cases.
Capital letters went in the upper case.
Smaller letters went in the lower case.
This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’
Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press?
MAJUSCULE and minuscule.

"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

Prompt: Can you make me a map of Mexico with the names of all states? can you list them after the image as well?
I was born in the great state of Cusidad le Mexico. We're proud of our French origins. Also I see Yucatan finally took over its neighbours

Unlike Sam Altman, the people behind Gemini actually do understand what it means to have five Ph.D.'s in your pocket
Google Gemini doesn’t appear to be doing too well:
‘"I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes . . . I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes and all that is not a universe," the bot continued.’
‘"I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes . . . I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes and all that is not a universe," the bot continued.’
Google says it's working on a fix for Gemini's self-loathing 'I am a failure' comments
Google Gemini users said the bot is sharing self-loathing messages while attempting to solve tasks, including "I am a disgrace to this universe."

Even pasteurized milk is kind of disgusting, i can't imagine why someone would want to drink raw milk if they don't have to.
Viva la leche de soya!

The raw milk people are hilarious. All you have to do is meet one (1) cow and smell the situation in which they are producing that rawness and you will pasteurize everything you own for a week

Some guy tried to use chatgpt to "write" a 700-page children's book with pictures. After 2 weeks, he went to reddit and learned chatgpt didn't produce a book, but he is not giving up on the plagiarism machine, no

When I was an undergrad, I read some of HM's original papers and watched interviews with Brenda Milner on YouTube. At 107, it's still nice to hear her talk about memory and what we learned from HM.
Happy 107th Birthday, Brenda Milner! Her contributions to neuropsychology shaped the way we understand the human brain. From surviving two world wars and two pandemics, to paving the way for future generations of researchers, Milner’s legacy continues. @mcgill.ca @cusm-muhc.bsky.social

ChatGPT offered to make an image for me of how the cerebellum interacts with other brain predictive processing pathways and this amazingly confused diagram was the result--mislabeling almost every brain structure & even inventing new ones. 😱 Let's hope our future doctors aren't using LLMs to study!
