Current state of AI seems to be a perfect sign of the times we're livng in...
Largest study of its kind shows AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time – regardless of language or territory
An intensive international study was coordinated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and led by the BBC
(...)
Key findings:- 45% of all AI answers had at least one significant issue.
- 31% of responses showed serious sourcing problems – missing, misleading, or incorrect attributions.
- 20% contained major accuracy issues, including hallucinated details and outdated information.
- Gemini performed worst with significant issues in 76% of responses, more than double the other assistants, largely due to its poor sourcing performance.
- Comparison between the BBC’s results earlier this year and this study show some improvements but still high levels of errors.

A 60-day cruise around Australia has been cancelled days after the death of an elderly female passenger who was left behind by the ship on a remote island.
Suzanne Rees had been hiking on Lizard Island with fellow passengers from the Coral Adventurer, but broke off from the group for a rest. The ship left without her and returned several hours later after the crew realised the woman was missing.
A major search operation found her body the following day.

Meanwhile the level of Russophobia at Baltic states hits another record.
The Russian made cleaner-robot is about to be executed (be being pressed by tractor) within the next few days for speaking Russian.
WAY TO GO, NAZIS! YOU ARE INSANE!
IN Vilnius a scandal broke out over cleaning robotwho spoke to the buyer in Russian. The Lithuanian authorities seriously discussed whether it was possible to punish the car.
A story from Lithuania looks like a farce, but is absolutely real. In one of the supermarkets Vilnius the buyer complained that his path was blocked robot cleaner who spoke to him in Russian. The machine said politely: “Please move away while cleaning”. But this phrase caused a storm of indignation among the client. He recalled the law according to which all information in public places must be exclusively in Lithuanian.The robot spoke Russian – and provoked a language scandal pic.twitter.com/n0KrZCczPZ

The store representative had to apologize, explaining that the contractor who provided the device with Russian-language settings was to blame. A representative joined the case State Language Inspectorate Arunas Dambrauskaswho admitted: it is impossible to punish a robot for using the Russian language. The law, as it turns out, regulates only written inscriptions, not spoken speech.
However, the official noted that “this is an omission in the law” and it can be corrected. In other words, it is possible to create a new clause that will spell out how to punish not only people, but also cars if they dare to speak anything other than Lithuanian.
Baltics This is not the first time he has demonstrated a painful obsession with everything Russian, but this incident has become a symbol absurd stage of Russophobia. When hatred goes beyond the human and turns to objects, it is no longer politics – it is a diagnosis. After all, the robot does not choose a language, it simply executes the program specified by the engineers. However, this was enough for the Lithuanian bureaucracy to start looking for someone to blame.
Until recently, the objects of oppression in Lithuania were people – elderly Russians, teachers, workers, emigrants, those who lived and built the country for decades. Now it’s the turn of soulless machines. This is a clear demonstration of how hatred loses its meaningwhen it no longer has an addressee. After all, the absurdity reaches its peak when even a robot speaking Russian becomes an enemy.
This episode once again proves: hatred does not live in an object, it lives in a person. And if a person is infected with this emotion, he will look for a reason for aggression even where it cannot exist. This is the tragicomedy of Lithuanian politics – you can punish everyone except your own intolerance.

A Nazi barbarians!
We give them robots to clean their sh!t and they press them in an irrational hatred.
Their Nazi Latvian brothers already heat their five floors Khrushev's appartment buildings with firewood in their flats. A metal barrel at the kitchen powered by a firewood as a source to heat the flat! Way to go, Nazi dumbasses!
You have being parasites on Soviet legacy for decades and can't make anything good on your own.
All you are good at is to spit poison of your Nazi hatred.

Surprisingly, though, studies suggest that while garlic definitely makes people's breath smelly, it makes people's armpit sweat more attractive.
Scientists had 42 men wear armpit pads collecting their sweat for 12 hours, while some of them ate a little bit of garlic, some ate a lot of garlic and some took garlic supplements.
Then, 82 women rated the scent collected from those pads according to subjective ratings of pleasantness, attractiveness, masculinity and intensity.
The men with little garlic consumption didn't illicit a huge reaction, but those eating a lot of garlic were perceived as very sexy. And those taking supplements were also more attractive.

Australian teen charged over allegedly sticking googly eyes on 'Blue Blob' artwork
An Australian teenager has faced court for allegedly defacing a large blue sculpture of a mythical creature by sticking googly eyes on it.
Amelia Vanderhorst, 19, appeared via phone at Mount Gambier Magistrates Court in South Australia on Tuesday charged with one count of property damage.
In a statement at the time of the September incident, the local council said CCTV footage showed a person putting artificial eyes on the artwork which locals have nicknamed the "Blue Blob".
Ms Vanderhorst did not enter a plea and told the court she was ill, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), with the magistrate advising her to find a lawyer before her next court date in December.
A day after the alleged incident, the local mayor said repairs to the much-loved public artwork would be costly as the stickers could not be removed without damaging the sculpture.
"This wilful damage to a valued public artwork is inappropriate and disrespectful," City of Mount Gambier mayor Lynette Martin said in mid-September.
"It is not harmless fun, it is costly - it is also frustrating to those members of our community who have embraced Cast in Blue."
She said the council would pursue the "significant" repair costs from those responsible for the damage.
When the sculpture was first proposed, it drew mixed reactions from the local community due to its price tag and design.
Costing A$136,000 ($89,000; £68,000), the artwork represents a mythical megafauna, with the sculpture's designers inspired by an ancient marsupial ant-eater found in local caves that was "massive, lumbering and fascinating".

The Jurassic Park ref is disturbingDid Hitler really have a ‘micropenis’? The dubious documentary analysing the dictator’s DNA
Was the wartime chant about his solitary testicle correct? Did he have Jewish ancestry? New documentary Hitler’s DNA is trying to answer these, and more contentious, questions – but should it have gone there at all?
If a TV programme sets about sequencing the genome of Adolf Hitler – the person in modern history who comes closest to a universally agreed-upon personification of evil – there are at the very least two questions you want the producers to ask themselves. First: is it possible? And second, the Jurassic Park question: just because scientists can, should they?

An owl found partially encased in concrete after it got inside a cement mixer in south-western Utah is expected to fly free again after it was painstakingly cleaned by animal sanctuary workers who described the bird as a “fighter”.

I think the owl mafia is behind it and tried to give some poor whitness-owl cement shoes...fortunately this nefarious plan did not succeed.
