NEW: Google's AI Overviews are treating entities from the SCP Foundation — the famously fake fan-fiction universe — as if they're real. The AI feature often contextualizes SCP entities as actual discoveries while describing made-up SCP records as "official" documents. futurism.com/artificial-i...

NEW: We're publishing an astonishing outburst the Dep of Health and Human Services left in our inbox. In an unsolicited email about our coverage of a horrific vaccine experiment, the HHS insisted the Africa CDC was an unreliable source for information, calling it "fake" and "powerless."

The HHS is disparaging its colleagues at the Africa CDC in coarse terms, that are striking even by the standards of the Trump administration.

Google retroactively edited the YouTube video of its Super Bowl ad for Gemini to remove an AI-generated error. Also notable: by uploading the new ad under the same URL as the original, Google seemed to flout YT's policies. But that's what owning YT gets you, I guess! futurism.com/google-retro...
