Ellie Musk Wants You to Forget About Elon
The trademark smirk is gone. So are the poop emojis. As the convicted Tesla founder faces bankruptcy, he has adopted a new persona: devoted father of nine children by three different women.

Am I misunderstanding something?
This appears to be a stunningly irresponsible story in Science, claiming that up to 30% of the scientific literature is fake.

Below, the first two paragraphs of the story.

I'm not planning to leave Twitter at the moment, but I'd say in the last couple of weeks I've reached the point where if I was not on Twitter, I would not miss it all that much. Thanks to Mastodon and other services, what Twitter gives me as a user is replaceable. If that's true of me, it's true of others. That should scare Elon Musk a whole lot.

It is a bit odd that not paying a fare is called “fare evasion” while not paying for parking isn’t called “payment evasion” or whatever.
Whoa, saw this toot in my TL and found out that @GraphicMatt is on Mastodon. He is a must follow for anyone in #Toronto. Have been following him on twitter for years.

@DannyBehar @davemark @gruber maybe but I remain skeptical. I can see it possibly becoming something where voice controls are enough. like the translation demo he showed. that was cool. but not for anything that needs a screen.

@DannyBehar @davemark @gruber
the video was indeed posted today. I watched it.
some of the AI things he showed are nice but they are not tied in any way to his other main idea, that of projecting staff on your hand and using only voice controls. That seems absolutely terrible to me. FAR less capable and FAR less convenient than a phone. what if I want to scroll Mastodon, or watch a video, or look at a map, or play a game?
@DannyBehar @davemark @gruber I don't disagree with any of that. and I am not knocking the AI stuff he showed.as I said I found it interesting. I am specifically knocking the idea of getting rid of physical screen and projecting stuff on your hand. That seems a terrible DOA idea to me. in the iphone examples you mention you could from the start envision things getting better. it was clear that graphics can improve, camera can improve, 3rd party apps can be made. There is absolutely no way something with visual UI consisting of a projection on your palm can improve to make things like browsing the web or looking at a map or playing a game viable.

“All areas in magenta indicate a record breaking mid-upper level (500mb) ridge by the weekend. This is an immense #HeatDome maxing out at 4.2 standard deviations (sigma) from the mean. A ridge magnitude on par with June 2021”
