Sony’s AI Camera Assistant is exactly as bad as it looks

I love that Mohamed Diawara deal for the Knicks. If he makes the most of the potential he flashed last season, that'll be one of the best value deals in the league. Good for Diawara to lock in guaranteed money when he was in a tough spot as an RFA.

Let's go!!!

Insane that avocado toast was ever even in consideration for the symbol of millennial profligacy. Half an avocado with a decent piece of bread? A healthy meal for what like $2? Basically the very definition of smart, frugal eating

Notice which stadiums you hear these kinds of stories from, and which you don’t. Somebody should’ve made a video about this

I wrote about the AP's interview with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang...because it was a doozy.

Mamdani's had me crying before this. When he named those who tried and failed and how this championship belongs to them to, it went to 😭😭😭

Did I cry during this? I damn sure did. @democrats.org - This is the leader you should be promoting. Stop with Josh Shapiro and Mallory McMorrow. We want Mamdanis.

Jalen Brunson at the championship parade: "There's a lot of people who have a lot of negative stuff to say. There's a lot of people who have their own opinions. But when you prove them wrong, you don't have to say shit to them. They don't deserve it."

Give Mayor Mamdani and his team a lot of credit for organizing a world class event to celebrate Knicks NBA Championship and a wonderful moment for New Yorkers and Knicks fans.

Mayor Mamdani at the Knicks Ceremony: “We as the city are often forced to come together in the moments in tragedy, what a blessing it is to come together in a moment of joy.” Made me cry, because it’s true.

has anyone lived the dream more than this guy?

I'm attending a conference. What is happening here has me more hopeful about K-12 and tech than I have been in years. The people promoting technology (I used to be one) are on the defensive. The keynote speaker criticized AI slop rather than sharing AI slop. Photo by Nick Fewings on Unsplash.

The person I feel best for is Spike Lee. It seems like every photo I've ever seen of him the last four decades has been him courtside at Madison Square Garden looking perplexed and disconsolate. He earned this.

From nonexistent studies in White House reports to hallucinated sources in EU cybersecurity briefs, AI tools are increasingly slipping "fake facts" into official government records https://restofworld.org/2026/government-ai-hallucinations-south-africa-deloitte/?utm_campaign=row-social

Google’s CEO says 75% of the company’s code is AI-generated. The people who write that code say the AI they’re using is overhyped.

My second return to Social Studies teaching ends on Friday, June 5, but I'm back again all next year. So far, like any challenge, it's not easy, but wow, it has been a joy. This is me in the classroom.

My good friend @tommullaney.bsky.social was on the Tech Won't Save Us podcast with @parismarx.com discussing LLMs in K12 settings. A dive into the educational century (and questionable decisions) that has occurred since 2022. It is not inevitable. Must watch for K12. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqZZ...

Chatbots are showing up everywhere and schools are no exception. But should we really be letting tech companies push AI on students? @tommullaney.bsky.social joins @parismarx.com to discuss the drawbacks of AI in schools and the broader pushback to screens. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/330_...

If I had one wish for the people who coach teachers using technology as I once did it would be for them to listen to @techwontsave.us hosted by @parismarx.com. I was honored to be his guest. #EduSky pca.st/episode/d711...

I am thrilled to announce that not only am I back at the school where I taught from Oct through Feb, but I have also signed a contract to cover for a Social Studies teacher there for the whole 2026-27 school year. It feels great to be back in the classroom! Photo by Scott Graham on Unsplash.

Wow. It looks like it happened because of generative AI. www.yahoo.com/news/world/a...

I'm so proud of the Knicks players, coaches, and front office that assembled these greats. Also proud of Spike Lee, Tracy Morgan, Mariska Hargitay, Suzie Essman, Edie Falco, and Steve Schrippa. They're part of it to. #Knicks

In 2022, the Knicks tried to trade for a point guard who now seems like he could never play for anyone else. They failed to do so. This is how the Knicks built an NBA Finals team — with patience, restraint and, more importantly, with Jalen Brunson: www.nytimes.com/athletic/730...

Agreed. Coke Zero is delicious. Diet Coke is not. If Diet Coke is so good, why did Coca Cola release another no calorie soda? Same applies to Dr. Pepper Zero.

It seems that Google didn't actually solve the underlying issue with disregard, but merely put in a fix for that particular word. It will of course as LLMs do have the same issue with all other similar words. 🙃

"AI is viewed as the most profound technology humanity will ever work on." Ridiculous hype. Absurd on its face.

This thread is important for folks using LLMs to “help with research” and “find sources” or “citations”

(Of course this failure mode is also much harder to police. A fabricated citation fails a basic existence check. A real citation that doesn't support its claim requires someone to KNOW it's wrong and even then, it's indistinguishable from the kind of careless citing we humans have always done.)

Therefore, the possible failure mode here isn't just fabricated citations - a model can include a real paper in a real journal by a real author, but be *completely* wrong about what it says. The citation exists. But there's no actual relationship between the claim and the source.

So when you get LLM output with links or citations to scholarly work: those citations aren't there because the model consulted them and they actually represent the source of the information. They were included because they look like what should appear near that kind of text.

A common comment on my videos about LLM "hallucinations" is that this isn't as much of a problem because LLMs "cite their sources" now. This is a category error. Citing a source implies it was consulted. LLMs do not consult, even with RAG. A citation might be *included* but it's not *consulted*.

Can confirm.
