A responsible follow up question to such a revelation would be “which 10%?”
Rep. Garcia says only 10% of total Epstein files was released today
TEN PERCENT
TEN PERCENT
The DOJ is breaking the law by not releasing the full Epstein files. This is not transparency. This is just more coverup by Donald Trump and Pam Bondi. They need to release all the files, NOW.

U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

I used google to look for a journal article about calcium channel blocker use in frostbite that I’d read before. I read the AI summary and it just completely made up a new drug that’s being investigated for this use. Like it’s not a real drug.

FanDuel stock should spike tomorrow based on this. Take it to the bank.

this is a great example of knowing a rule to break it. for portraits, you’d ask someone to take a few steps away from a wall. that way, you introduce sharper subject-to-background separation and minimize unsightly shadows. here, these distracting elements highlight how uncomfortable these people are
Oh my god y'all I had not seen the rest of the Vanity Fair photos holy shit. Christopher Anderson deserves a medal.
Look at this. He left the LIGHT SWITCHES in the edited photos! These assholes look like their well-meaning mom took a picture of them on their first day in a grown-up job.

Okay so today I found the greatest use of GenAI.mil. I’ve been using NIPRgpt to answer annual mandatory training questions for awhile, but many trainings have flash modules that don’t allow copy and pasting the question and transcribing them takes about as long as just doing the test

Exclusive: US FDA launches fresh safety scrutiny of approved RSV therapies for infants
U.S. health regulators informed senior executives at Merck, Sanofi and AstraZeneca last week that their approved protective RSV treatments for infants would be subject to fresh safety scrutiny following concerns raised by vaccine skeptics, multiple sources familiar with the situation told Reuters.

There already is, and has been, a military authorized LLM. There have been a few in fact but the best and still existing one is NIPRGPT
Sec. Hegseth rolled out the U.S. military’s new AI platform, GenAi.Mil, with a link to an empty website. trib.al/tbCJAkT
Predictably, the platform can’t actually be accessed from external networks, but the wonky rollout triggered eyerolls across the internet.

if you study hard, make sacrifices, fail a few times, keep going, get into a competitive program, prove yourself, spend wisely, save money, plan your budget, take care of your body, and pay it forward, you can see it all go up in flames just to make eight or nine god-emperors even more money
