A new study claims to prove that the human brain uses “articulation planning” to prepare speech.
These neurons represented the specific order and structure of articulatory events before utterance and reflected the segmentation of phonetic sequences into distinct syllables. They also accurately predicted the phonetic, syllabic and morphological components of upcoming words and showed a temporally ordered dynamic. Collectively, we show how these mixtures of cells are broadly organized along the cortical column and how their activity patterns transition from articulation planning to production.
In other words, the human brain data pipeline for speech has a distinct development phase of neurons that probably could be audited or compromised.
With everyone working hard to figure out the danger of deep fakes, they really should just hire more historians.
Target’s under fire for selling Black History Month material in their stores with factually incorrect info — namely, grossly mislabeling historic Black Americans.
The ill-timed snafu was pointed out by TikToker @Issatete — who posted a now-viral video of what she says she found in a Target near her. In the clip, she shows off a magnet-style learning activity book called “Civil Rights.”
Black History Month maybe could also become U.S. information integrity breach reporting month. Rewards could be given to those who disclose.

Leave it to metal drummers to play with a higher calling, refuse to be told they are wrong to fight ill-gotten power.
The plaintiff in the case was Richard Tornetta, the former drummer of the Philadelphia thrash band Dawn of Correction.
Attorneys representing Tornetta claimed that Musk unilaterally dictated the compensation terms and influenced the negotiations. They also argued that shareholder approval was based on a proxy statement with incomplete and misleading information.

“His name is now etched in the annals of corporate law,” [Columbus law professor] Talley said of the drummer. “My students will be reading Tornetta v Musk for the next 10 years.”
This court case allegedly has delivered Elon Musk the biggest legal loss in U.S. history. A controversial $56 billion package at Tesla that he cooked himself five years ago has been struck down, as yet more evidence of fraud rolls in at the disgraced and deadly car brand.
“Forked Tongue” by Dawn of Correction:
Clear evidence of Elon Musk’s forked tongue, as exposed with simple questions in court:
Another day, another recall for Tesla. Over 2 million cars including the Model Cybertruck, Model X, Model Y, and Model S have been flagged to fix a serious safety defect.
Here’s an interesting perspective on this recall and the ongoing severe lack of quality with Tesla.
It’s a seemingly never ending list at this point. I’ve lost count of Tesla’s recalls, and I just can’t be bothered to keep hitting the ‘next page’ on this website. From the start, Musk seemed to make arbitrary design and manufacturing decisions, like sourcing consumer-grade screens and electronics that couldn’t survive the extreme environmental conditions that automobiles go through (those screens, of course, failed, which prompted a real recall program that reached all the way to China and an investigation by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Germany’s Federal Motor Transport Authority).
[…]
Perhaps we should just call them “yet another nail in Tesla’s reputation,” or “yet another sign of what happens when you offer overpriced cars with bland design and crappy construction standards”…
Without fraud there would be no Tesla.
If we aren’t supposed to use the word recall to describe an exploding number of serious defects and symptoms of fraud, we might as well start talking about them as nails in the Tesla coffin.
