BBC -- Five hundred people in a small Canadian province were diagnosed with a mystery brain disease. What would it mean for the patients if the disease was never real?

Over the coming months, Marrero and the CJDSS scientists began to suspect that instead of a small cluster of CJD patients, the province of New Brunswick might have on its hands a much larger cluster of people suffering from a completely unknown brain disease.

Over the next five years, Marrero's cluster would balloon from 20 to an astonishing 500. But there came no scientific breakthrough, no new understanding of neurology, no expensive new treatments. Instead, last year, a bombshell research paper authored by several Canadian neurologists and neuroscientists concluded that there was in fact no mystery disease, and that the patients had all likely suffered from previously known neurological, medical, or psychiatric conditions. The New Brunswick cluster was, one of the paper's authors told the BBC, a "house of cards".

The research paper published last year could have marked the end of a strange chapter in Canadian science. Except, hundreds of the patients disagree. Defiant, fiercely loyal to Marrero, and backed by passionate patient advocates, they argue that the paper is flawed and reject any notion that the cluster might not be real.

spectrum.ieee.org -- I use LLM-generated code extensively in my role as CEO of Carrington Labs, a provider of predictive-analytics risk models for lenders. Until recently, the most common problem with AI coding assistants was poor syntax, followed closely by flawed logic. However, recently released LLMs, such as GPT-5, have a much more insidious method of failure. They often generate code that fails to perform as intended, but which on the surface seems to run successfully, avoiding syntax errors or obvious crashes. It does this by removing safety checks, or by creating fake output that matches the desired format, or through a variety of other techniques to avoid crashing during execution.

По остроумной мысли автора, это потому, что новые модели получены из старых оптимизацией не по корректности кода (которую трудно установить), а по тому, посчитали ли данный код подходящим пользователи этого искусственного интеллекта, т.е. та ещё самовыборка экспертов.

As any developer will tell you, this kind of silent failure is far, far worse than a crash. Flawed outputs will often lurk undetected in code until they surface much later. This creates confusion and is far more difficult to catch and fix.

I am a huge believer in artificial intelligence, and I believe that AI coding assistants have a valuable role to play in accelerating development and democratizing (так в тексте) the process of software creation. But chasing short-term gains, and relying on cheap, abundant, but ultimately poor-quality training data is going to continue resulting in model outcomes that are worse than useless.

timesofindia -- Google cofounder Larry Page leaves California, the state that has been his home for years, with family. The mass restructuring comes as California debates a controversial ballot measure that would impose a one-time 5% tax on residents worth over $1 billion. If voters approve the measure in November 2026, it would apply retroactively to anyone living in California as of January 1, 2026. For Page—currently ranked the second-richest person globally by Bloomberg's Billionaires Index—that could mean a tax bill exceeding $12 billion.

The New York Times reported in December that Page told associates he was considering relocating to Florida specifically because of this proposal. He's not alone in his concerns. Fellow tech billionaire Peter Thiel has opened a Miami office for his investment firm, Thiel Capital, while venture capitalist David Sacks launched operations in Austin, Texas.

The proposed tax, backed by healthcare union SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West, aims to raise $100 billion over five years from California's approximately 200 billionaires. Supporters argue the revenue would offset anticipated federal budget cuts to healthcare, education, and food assistance programs.

maarthandam.com -- Salesforce’s aggressive push to automate customer operations has entered a phase of public reckoning after senior executives publicly admitted that the company overestimated AI’s readiness for real-world deployment and moved too quickly in replacing human staff.
According to executives familiar with the transition, automated systems struggled with nuanced issues, escalations, and long-tail customer problems. The result was declining service quality, higher complaint volumes, and internal firefighting to stabilize operations that had once been handled by experienced staff.

technology.org -- Meta generated over $3 billion in 2024 from Chinese ads promoting scams, illegal gambling, and pornography—roughly 19% of its $18 billion China revenue. After a brief enforcement push cut fraudulent ads in half, Zuckerberg ordered teams to “pause” the crackdown, disbanding the anti-scam unit entirely. Chinese scammers face minimal consequences because Meta’s “whitelisting” system protects ads from agency partners, letting banned content run for days while awaiting human review.

illinoispolicy.org -- Using taxpayer dollars intended to educate children, over 600 Chicago Public Schools staffers exploited lax rules to take luxury trips to Las Vegas.

Las Vegas must be a great place to get educated because over 600 Chicago Public Schools employees went there for professional development conferences, costing taxpayers over $23.6 million. When the virtual option was available for the same training, only one person attended online between 2022 and 2024. 90% of CPS attendees stayed in hotel rooms that exceeded CPS spending limits, choosing to stay away from the conference site and at luxury hotels such as the Bellagio and the Venetian.
