Am I officially old if the only acceptable breakfast #music is a Playlist with oldies like Aretha Franklin's "I say a little prayer" or "Happy Together" from The Turtles? Music on modern breakfast playlist grinds my nerves and the typical breakfast/morning coffee shop music makes me want to go back to bed. #asknostr #oldies #morning #breakfast
Eliezer Masliah, a top scientist in neurodegeneration and top NIH official has likely manipulated hundreds of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's paper and findings over the last 2 decades, potentially leading to billions of misallocated funds and research focus in the broader scientific community. He might get shunned for this in the community but will ultimately fall softly and continue to work in the field. It's a pity that there are no larger repercussions for falsifying data in research given the large implications this can have. https://www.science.org/content/article/research-misconduct-finding-neuroscientist-eliezer-masliah-papers-under-suspicion #science #alzheimer #brain #neurology #NIH #neuobiology #Parkinson #fraud

 I was expecting yet another boring "marketing book" when I picked it up but it goes surprisingly deep into #cognition, #psychology and #society in general. I enjoyed it. #books #science #brain #neurobiology #psychology #reading
Great article from "The Pessimists Archive" about the hot legal debate about "Fake News" and fake photography >100 years in the US. This is just as much applicable to today's AI discussions and the just starting controversy on AI generated deep fakes and the likes. Nothing is really new, history repeats itself & hopefully we as a society can learn and improve from it in the long run. On a side-note: the pessimists archive is a great website in general if you want to read about the worries and fights of the past against new technologies. Pretty much every new technology (electricity, phone, bicycle, cars, planes, etc.) had been vilified, people have been afraid of it and did not understand it before it became common reality. #bitcoin and #nostr are just another link in this long chain of this techno-pessimism.
The 1912 War on Fake Photos

 "Concern about deceptively edited photos feels like a very modern anxiety, yet a century ago similar worries were being litigated... Portrait photography gave rise to an industry of photo ‘retouching’ - analog ‘beauty filters’ - to flatter subjects in a way portrait painters once did. This trend lead to questions about technology distorting our perceptions of beauty, reality and truth" #nostr #fakenews #photography #deepfakes #ai #bitcoin #regulations #freespeech #
