Será que já dá pra pensar em julgar e prender quem prescreveu tratamento precoce na pandemia? Quem organizou e executou o contágio do país? Quem negou vacina?

I tried an even harder example on Gemini Pro image generation and this is quite scary/amazing. I asked for a microscopy image of around 20 HeLa cells, GFP tagged 20% nuclear, 10% membrane, +1 nuclear staining, + overlap. Image below and prompt in the following post.

We really need major oversight at institutions, before things are sent for publication. Data provenance is key.

About three years after ChatGPT emerged, students are using artificial intelligence to help with outlining, brainstorming, and studying. In this week's episode of College Matters from The Chronicle, we examine how colleges can weight the promise of AI against its pitfalls. https://chroni.cl/47UcJO8
Using AI Without (Really) Cheating
There’s plenty of moral panic about college students using generative AI to write their essays, but many students say they are trying to use these tools in the right way.

As dozens of frog species have declined across Central America, scientists have witnessed a remarkable chain of events: With fewer tadpoles to eat mosquito larvae, rates of mosquito-borne malaria in the region have climbed, resulting in a fivefold increase in cases. https://wapo.st/4paBuuT
