  1. AI #hallucination occurs when an AI system generates information that is entirely fabricated—something that doesn’t exist in its training data or in reality
    AI #confabulation happens when the AI misrepresents or distorts real information. It may cite a legitimate source but misinterpret its findings or apply them incorrectly.

  2. "The guy doesn’t exercise; he doesn’t eat well. He drinks enough Diet Coke to fill a football stadium. And you just can’t quite trust the people around him. And I felt like the story I published said a lot about Trump’s America, not just Trump’s health."

  3. "Instead of just saying he’s healthy for an almost 80-year-old, that he’s slowing down a little bit, but he’s certainly healthy enough to be president, people talk about him in these terms that are just completely outrageous: superhuman, the healthiest man alive. He told me he was healthier than he was 40 years ago."

  4. "The story I set out to write about was to figure out whether he is healthy or not, and it kind of ended up being a story about whether the government is healthy or not. There’s kind of an infection that has spread throughout Trump’s inner circle where everybody who talks about him talks about him in the craziest, most North Korean-type, dear-leader way."

  5. Ben Terris explains why it's so difficult for investigative journalists to get clear information about Trump's health:

    "The story I set out to write about was to figure out whether he is healthy or not, and it kind of ended up being a story about whether the government is healthy or not."

  6. @arstechnica that could plausibly be made out to be #fraud?
    The owner of the #confabulation machine generating false claims in an effort to obtain money from cURL.
    Given knowledge of the owner it doesn't even look hard to prove.
    IANAL and this is not legal advice.

  7. Oh man, I did not sleep last night. Saw a great show at Confabulation, though. Today is my play reading. I am so excited, but running on little more than Montreal lattes. I will so crash tonight....

  10. I wrote on my calendar on January 28, 2025 "trump will not last the year"

    I do believe that to still be true.

    “Segal said another characteristic of Trump’s questionable mental acuity is #confabulation. “It’s where he takes an idea or something that’s happened and he adds to it things that have not happened.”

  12. Speaking of numbers, see G. Elliott Morris' graph of Trump's approval rating as August gets underway (see the image below). This is at Strength in Numbers.

    Disapproval: 54.3%

    Approval: 42.3%

    But numbers shnumbers: they're all made up anyway, right?

  13. "The White House doesn’t belong to Trump. It belongs to the people of the United States. Under the law, major renovations of the White House require congressional approval."

  14. "They were wrong about everything. Catastrophically, obviously wrong. Trump is implementing exactly the policies he promised, wreaking exactly the havoc any sentient observer could have predicted. ...

    Two plus two equals four. There are twenty-four hours in a day. And the people who told you Trump would moderate, who assured you his corruption was competence, who promised his authoritarianism was strategy, were wrong about everything.

  15. "These are the people who convinced themselves that a man who bankrupted casinos—businesses literally designed to print money—would somehow master the complexities of global economics. Who looked at his fraud convictions, his scam university, his shuttered charity, and saw business acumen. Who insisted his tariff threats were just 'negotiating tactics' and that 'adults in the room' would contain his worst impulses."

  16. “It’s more evidence he’s not fit to be president."

    ~ John R. Bolton quoted by Zolan Kanno-Youngs, who writes,

    "When faced with facts and foes that wouldn’t bend to his will, he responded with impatience and disproportionate intensity."

  17. "In older people, confabulation is one of the clearest early signs of dementia. ...

    Difficulty with mathematical concepts is another early warning sign of dementia."

  18. “Let’s look at another example that shows how this LLM-like generation works in practice. Here we can see Trump’s ‘system prompt’ in action — it seems to include core directives like ‘accept no blame’ and ‘everything I do must be the best.’… The response optimizes for what Trump thinks his audience wants to hear, rather than for accuracy or truth.”

  19. Here I am trying to get #GPT 4o & #Gemini 2.5 Pro to give useful answers to my questions that aren’t riddled with made-up quotes, fake references, imagined APIs, etc. 😩, while the rest of the world fawns 🤑 over #GenAI.

    Am I holding it wrong? 🤷🏽‍♂️

  20. We don't know from #recall who wrote which paper in what journal on which pages. We know how to create a record for the papers we read and learn from. Let's not #confabulation that as #intelligence. #ai could work beautifully.

  26. One of my readers tricked ChatGPT into generating a summary of the content at ErosBlog. Among the confabulatory bullshit that came back was the claim that Erosblog is "often" referred to as "the sex blog of record." Which is sweet, but, um...

    It's a lie! Nobody ever referred to ErosBlog like that. I would have noticed. Confirming, the phrase doesn't exist in any search engine.
