AI video generation update

Everyone should remember that there are people relentlessly working overtime to industrialize fabrication of information, images, videos, film and art in general, to decouple information from reality like never before, to strike crippling blows to media credibility, to serve those who want to obscure the truth, and bring about an age of endless bullshit pouring into all corners of life like poison gas dissipating across an enclosed room. They may not fully realize it but that's what they are doing.

I want to search the exact word I type in

The search function gives me occurrences of every word *related* to my query with every possible ending, which in some cases makes a very big difference like in the screenshot.

Unrealistic mechanic?

Picking this option in Germany to Save lets you do literally whatever you want as long as you have the full backing of the German industry. As we all know, nothing like that would ever happen in real life.

Woman goes to doctor. Says she's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says she feels unworthy and misplaced in the world. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Great genre of manga, called yuri. Download and read. That should pick you up.' Woman bursts into tears. Says, 'But doctor!'

What's the deal with the air conditioning debate?

I've been seeing interactions on Twitter where American users recommend that Europeans install air conditioning to cope with summer heatwaves and some Europeans seemingly refuse. Some posts also suggest that it's a broader and more heated (sorry) debate than just a few tweets.

Examples:

"From some back-of-napkin math, the fact that the EU refuses to use air conditioning and kills its elderly en masse with heatstroke every single year is probably saving them an aggregate €30 billion euros in foregone pension liabilities and healthcare costs annually, compounded." (https://x.com/3xcalibaneur/status/2060394798637252797)

"I HOPE THE LACK OF AIR CONDITIONING TURNS YOUR COUNTRY INTO A BALL OF FIRE" (https://x.com/yandhiisntreal/status/2066571572370935991)

"Anyway, the Air Conditioning 'debate' is yet another example of Americans criticizing Europeans as a proxy for attacking Democrats/Liberals/Leftists/the culture war villians in their heads. It's tedious, idiotic and without value." (https://x.com/marwood\_lennox/status/2070661513115791742)

Why is this a debate? Why isn't AC more widespread in Southern Europe and why the backlash?

Nature - Is AI ruining our skills? Early results are in

Who could have seen this coming? Everyone could see it coming.

"Once physicians began using it [AI assistant], their performance dropped significantly whenever the system was unavailable. During the three-month period before the AI tool was introduced, the specialists found at least one adenoma during 28.4% of colonoscopies. During the three-month period after the tool was introduced, the adenoma detection rate for colonoscopies performed without AI assistance decreased to 22.4%."

"The findings, published last October in The Lancet Gastroenterology and Hepatology, suggest that even highly skilled professionals might get worse at tasks that their job requires as they become more dependent on AI tools, says Robert Wachter, a physician at the University of California, San Francisco, who is the author of a book on how AI tools are transforming health care. The study authors say that continuous exposure to such tools can cause clinicians to become “less motivated, less focused, and less responsible when making cognitive decisions without AI assistance”."

Did Germany even have enough residents for this percentage to correspond to a whole number of people?
