Library patrons are requesting non-existent books and media hallucinated by AI systems, leading librarians around the country on a wild good chase. The unlikely source for the non-existent books are reading lists published by major newspapers that mixed in AI-generated titles with the real thing.

All I can add to this, is that in the past few weeks, Grok has been generating really stupid mistakes on basic questions, for example – identifying the location of a Charlie Kirk vigil video as a “G8 protest”.

David Clinton- Are Violent Threats Common in Canada’s Online World?
…there are definitely busy pockets of over-the-top and dangerous social media discussions here in Canada. They’re by no means the norm, but we can’t say things are in any way under control.
Discord, Call Your Lawyer
If true, this directly contradicts the statements made by Discord. They claimed no such comments were made, and that they deleted his user profile.
Which means Discord executives attempted to cover up evidence of a crime, if this pans out.

New, via Data Republican:
Armed Queers SLC is under investigation for possible foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Their leader, Ermiya Fanaeian, was recognized by a State Dept–affiliated NGO, Utah Global Diplomacy, as a recipient of the “7 for 17” Award for advancing the UN’s 17 Goals
Utah Global Diplomacy has since scrubbed Fanaeian’s presence from their website. Unknown when this purge happened. The receipts remain.

The Future Is Now
The concept of troops going to the battlefield in armored vehicles may well be a thing of the past, if this YouTube video is any indication. In the Ukraine today, supplies going to the front have to be transported not by vehicle but by drone. It’s simply impossible to get supplies there by any other means, given the nearly impossible task of running a gauntlet of drone swarms. This ought to serve as a lesson to those in charge of determining defense spending priorities.

Blacklock’s- Feds Hire Digital ID Experts
Federal consultants have been hired at an undisclosed cost to centralize all public requests for federal documents into one digital ID system, says the Department of Social Development. The proposal is so complex it required “expertise we don’t have in-house,” said a department briefing note.
“Building this kind of system is complex and requires certain specialized tools and expertise we don’t have in-house,” said the May 20 note Digital Credentials Issue. “Based on international best practices we are asking industry to help.”

Dave Barry- Death by AI
Give Google AI credit for what it got right: That is, in fact, a picture of me, and I did, in fact, win a Pulitzer Prize (trust me, I’m just as shocked as you are). But to the best of my knowledge, I did not pass away last November 20. That is not just my opinion. In recent months I have been examined by two different licensed physicians, and if I had been dead, I’m pretty sure at least one of them would have mentioned it.

I have been informed by Tesla that shortly, very shortly in fact, maybe even today, maybe even as I type this, I will be offered the opportunity to upload their latest software (2025.26) for my Model 3 that will include X’s own artificial intelligence Grok.
And it will be FREE! (sorry for the tasteless caps but I wanted to show the expected enthusiasm… well, partly),
I can see it all now. I’m barreling down the I-75 past Gainesville, heading toward Orlando, and suddenly feeling wicked hungry. I press the talk button…

“Russia is rapidly isolating its internet-connected infrastructure from the outside world.”
Richard Fernandez (facebook) – Suddenly it’s no longer safe to be an international big wheel: an oligarch, decorated general, intelligence colonel. The age of sending cannon fodder against the guns has been replaced by the targeted hit. Fame is no longer a luxury. Invisibility is.
Today, if you scanned and counted public-facing Russian servers and other devices, the country would appear smaller than Romania or Sweden, states with 5-10 times smaller populations.
Before October 15th, 2024, Russia had around 920,000 public internet-facing devices and services. These publicly exposed IP addresses include a wide range of networked devices and services, such as routers, email servers, VPN servers, various web panels, load balancers, video systems, and other software or connected hardware.
Overnight, almost half of these devices disappeared, the ShadowServer Foundation IoT data reveals.
The number briefly spiked above two million devices before the end of 2024 and then collapsed again even further. The publicly visible Russian internet infrastructure remains close to 270,000 devices this year.
