Can we stop AI hallucinations? And do we even want to?
As AI continues to advance, one major problem has emerged: “hallucinations.” These are outputs generated by the AI that have no basis in reality. Hallucinations can be anything from small mistakes to downright bizarre and made-up information. The issue makes many people wonder whether they can trust AI systems. If an AI can generate inaccurate or even totally fabricated claims, and make it sound just as plausible as accurate information, how can we rely on it for critical tasks?
Researchers are exploring various approaches to tackle the challenge of hallucinations, including using large datasets of verified information to train AI systems to distinguish between fact and fiction. But some experts argue that eliminating the chance of hallucinations entirely would also require stifling the creativity that makes AI so valuable.

Fate of Middle East hangs in the balance as Israel mulls its next steps
  The attack has for now distracted global attention from Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza. Furthermore, the Iranian attack is also likely to dispel murmurs in the US Congress about curbing weapons supplies to Israel because of Gaza. Now such restrictions can be cast by Israel’s supporters as leaving America’s leading ally in the Middle East defenceless in the face of the proven Iranian threat.

Inside Donald Trump’s Embrace of the Jan. 6 Rioters
 Despite the nearly 1,000 guilty pleas and convictions that have been secured in criminal cases stemming from Jan. 6, Mr. Trump has repeatedly described the rioters who broke into the Capitol as “hostages” and has started to open his campaign events with a recording of riot defendants singing the national anthem from their jail cells.

Dana White, Donald Trump and the Rise of Cage-Match Politics
 When a final holdout, former President Donald J. Trump, continued hammering the company in February, Mr. White spoke to him by phone, according to people briefed on the conversation, and Mr. Trump was sheepish about causing any headaches.

Should We Change Species to Save Them?
 It is an audacious concept, one that challenges a fundamental conservation impulse to preserve wild creatures as they are. But in this human-dominated age — in which Australia is simply at the leading edge of a global biodiversity crisis — the traditional conservation playbook may no longer be enough, some scientists said.

 Today, most power lines consist of steel cores surrounded by strands of aluminum, a design that’s been around for a century.

'Guilty men have got away with it': fears over rise of 'sexsomnia' defence in rape cases
 The woman, a mother from Lancashire, said the process had left her "baffled": "It's like they've said, 'Well yeah, he might've sexually abused you numerous times but he did it in his sleep, so it's OK. So you're just going to have to get on with your life and deal with it and he's got away with it.' It's like they just took his word for it. There is nothing to stop him from doing it again and just saying, 'I was asleep'."

Senior Tories fear Johnson and Truss will sabotage Sunak's election campaign
 "There is a majority for both staying in and some quite hardball negotiating," said one figure on the liberal wing. "That doesn't feel like it's a controversial opinion any more. The question for the manifesto is: does it say 'we will renegotiate our position on the ECHR - and if we fail, we'll leave'? How hard do you go? This is the million-dollar question."

Netflix’s New Film Strategy: More About the Audience, Less About Auteurs
 Now that Netflix has emerged as the dominant streaming platform, it no longer has to pay top dollar to lure auteur filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, Alfonso Cuarón and Bradley Cooper.
