NEW: A large trove of Claude-generated documents have been exposed to the web and indexed by Google. We reviewed what appear to be real medical records, the full names and phone numbers of school-aged children, and company documents marked for internal use only. futurism.com/artificial-i...

“Marines exposed to TCE at Camp Lejeune were 70% more likely to have Parkinson’s than those stationed at Camp Pendleton. And in a follow-up study last year, he showed that disease progression in Lejeune vets with the highest exposure to TCE was faster than those with low or no exposure, too.”

Scientists Thought Parkinson’s Was in Our Genes. It Might Be in the Water

New ideas about chronic illness could revolutionize treatment, if we take the research seriously.

Central Maine Power restored power at Camp. Only problem is the re-energized line was torn off the building and is hanging a couple feet above the ground. Hopefully no critters take an interest before it is fixed.

A.I.s have started driving long-haul trucks, and A.I.s have started writing (derivative) music. How long until we start hearing A.I.-written country songs about being an A.I. out on the road?

"In reality, high profits tend much more to raise the price of work than high wages... In raising the price of commodities, the rise of wages operates in the same manner as simple interest does in the accumulation of debt. The rise of profit operates like compound interest." - Adam Smith, 1776

The amount of people from away trying to tell Maine what to do with our politics while we are in the throws of peak people from away season just feels way too peopley all around. I'd like a less peopley political experience. Please and thank you.

While not generally enthusiastic about A.I. being added to everything, it would be nice if Explore.org had an A.I. identify the Katmai bears that are onscreen by name and number. Aside from Chunk and his broken jaw, because f-ck that bear.

Algae are prolific producers of oxygen (and consumers of carbon dioxide), en masse producing a huge proportion of the oxygen we breathe, which means that the greening of the Reflecting Pool might be the most pro-climate thing Trump has ever done.

I understand the Platner campaign’s logic in withdrawing from the 5 scheduled debates, yet this move cuts short important policy discussions and conversations and shortchanges Maine voters, most of whom haven’t fully focused on June’s primary election. I hope he’ll reconsider #MEpolitics
