Almost 30 years after the intricate web of nerves inside the penis was plotted out, the same mapping has finally been completed for one of the least-studied organs in the human body — the clitoris.
Today in decor by teens…
Anatomy of one of least studied human organs could improve outcomes for women who have pelvic surgery
I’ve now banned all tech in my seminars. Difficult in large lecture classes but students who took notes by hand or with a stylus on a tablet learned more & performed far better. Working against this tech in the classroom is hard but necessary; this is the most distracted generation I’ve ever taught.
if Wikipedia, an org with a shoestring budget and volunteer workforce can ban use of llms, what excuse do large orgs and universities have
All of this. You can't outsource thinking and then think that this process is...going to help you learn how to think? Not one student who told me they used AI to help them learn could actually tell me one thing they learned in the process about the thing they were actually supposed to learn about.

“Nurses in the hospital's neonatal unit said they already have plans for a fully powerless hospital: swaddle newborns in blankets and put them back into dead incubators, hoping they stay warm enough to survive."
New: Wikipedia has officially banned AI-generated content. After months of heated debate and previous attempts to restrict the use of LLMs, volunteer editors accepted a new policy that prohibits using them to create articles for the online encyclopedia

“In recent months, more and more administrative reports centered on LLM-related issues, and editors were being overwhelmed.”
Too many students are convinced by their own universities, by some of their teachers and professors, and by the AI companies themselves that ‘using ai to study is getting ahead of the game’
But the process they seek to get ahead of is the point.

I've had several former undergrad students who have gone on to graduate education in the healthcare field (med school, PT, dental school, etc.) tell me that the use of "AI" in their programs by their fellow students is rampant
What this means for the future of healthcare is quite alarming

‘59% of teenagers told Pew that students use AI to cheat, while 34% said it happens extremely or very often.’
God help this generation.
We have allowed Big Tech to convince us that ‘AI is revolutionizing the world’ and we’re sacrificing the development and well being of children to their Mammon.
