Doctors Horrified After Google's Healthcare AI Makes Up a Body Part That Does Not Exist in Humans

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-08 14:19:41

Image by Getty / Futurism Developments Health practitioners are becoming increasingly uneasy about the medical community making widespread use of error-prone generative AI tools. The proliferation of the tech has repeatedly been hampered by rampant "hallucinations," a euphemistic term for the bots' made-up facts and convincingly-told lies. One glaring error proved so persuasive that it took over a year to be caught. In their May 2024 research paper introducing a healthcare AI model, dubbed Me

Dotfiles feel too personal to share

I love dotfiles. “Dotfiles” is a term that refers to configuration files used to configure software and operating systems. They are called such because often these files start with a dot. You may have seen .bashrc , .tmux.conf or .zshrc in the wild. Whenever a software doesn’t offer direct file-based configuration, I feel sad because it means I need to take extra steps to keep my configuration across different devices in sync or when setting up a new machine.

As we’re waiting for the ROG Xbox Ally and the next generation of slightly more powerful gaming handhelds to hit the scene, I’m stuck thinking about where portable gaming could go if designers got a little weirder with it.

He’s written the scripts for Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible, Spider-Man, the last two Indiana Jones movies, Death Becomes Her, Panic Room, and more.

An ill wind blows through the automotive industry. Yesterday, after the market closed, Rivian reported its results for the second quarter of 2025, and they weren't great. Unlike the last two quarters, Rivian did not make a gross profit, and it's estimating it will have a larger loss this year than first predicted. A day earlier, it was Lucid's turn: The Saudi-backed EV startup also missed analyst estimates for the quarter, and Lucid says it will build fewer cars this year than originally planned

The resulting video of the model in action may look like a video game, but DeepMind has always positioned Genie 2 as a way to train other AI systems to be better at what they're designed to accomplish.
