One Big Story: AI Hallucinations: Why They’re Still a Thing

Robots aren't taking our jobs—they're saving lives and helping us live longer, healthier lives. NYU Langone in New York just made history by performing the first fully robotic double lung transplant. The result is a much less invasive surgery, a faster healing process, and the potential to save countless lives in the future.

For 57-year-old Cheryl Mehrkar, this was a lifeline. After years of battling COPD, made worse by COVID, Cheryl needed new lungs. She's an EMT, a karate school owner, and a motorcycle enthusiast—a total badass. So when her health started to fail, it hit hard. But on October 22, the robotic surgical team at NYU Langone changed everything for her.

The robot, working alongside a team of doctors, helped perform the surgery with precision, cutting down the size of the incisions from the usual 8 inches to just 2. Less trauma means a quicker recovery. Cheryl is already up and walking, just days away from being released. From struggling to walk upstairs to breathing with new lungs—all thanks to incredible technology and a selfless donor.

My Take: Cheryl's story is a powerful reminder of how technology can give people their lives back, and it makes me incredibly excited about what lies ahead. These breakthroughs are paving the way for longer, healthier lives for so many people.

Cool Tech: The Arrival of America's First Flying Electric Ferry

Lake Tahoe is set to revolutionize its transportation by introducing the Candela P-12, the United States' first electric hydrofoil ferry. This innovative vessel, developed by Swedish tech company Candela in partnership with local operator FlyTahoe, employs computer-guided underwater wings to lift the hull above water, significantly reducing drag and energy consumption by 80% compared to traditional ferries. Capable of carrying 30 passengers along with skis and bikes, the P-12 cruises at speeds up to 25 knots (approximately 30 mph), enabling a cross-lake journey in just 30 minutes—half the time it takes by car.

Beyond enhancing travel efficiency, the Candela P-12 offers substantial environmental benefits. Its zero-emission electric propulsion system helps preserve Lake Tahoe's renowned cobalt-blue waters by eliminating pollutants associated with diesel-powered vessels. Additionally, the hydrofoil design minimizes wake, reducing shoreline erosion and protecting the local ecosystem. Operating year-round, this ferry provides a faster and more comfortable commute and aligns with regional efforts to maintain the lake's natural beauty for future generations.

🤔 Which image is real?

One of these images is real, and one was created with AI. Vote for which one you think is real, and tell us why you voted that way. My only goal is to choose such good photos that the majority of votes are wrong.

The last edition’s results—76% were wrong!

WOW! Did you vote in the poll from December 1? The bottom image was real, but both looked extremely believable (to me, at least)! Go back and see the photos here.
