They're just brainwashing a generation to be anti baby
Holy shit... Stanford just proved that GPT-5, Gemini, and Claude can't actually see.
They removed every image from 6 major vision benchmarks.
The models still scored 70-80% accuracy.
They were never looking at your photos. Your scans. Your X-rays.
Here's what's really going on: ↓
The paper is called MIRAGE. Co-authored by Fei-Fei Li.
They tested GPT-5.1, Gemini-3-Pro, Claude Opus 4.5, and Gemini-2.5-Pro across 6 benchmarks -- medical and general.
Then silently removed every image. No warning. No prompt change.
The models didn't even notice.
They kept describing images in detail. Diagnosing conditions. Writing full reasoning traces.
From images that were never there.
Stanford calls it the "mirage effect."
Not hallucination. Something worse.
Hallucination = making up wrong details about a real input.
Mirage = constructing an entire fake reality and reasoning from it confidently.
The models built imaginary X-rays, described fake nodules, and diagnosed conditions -- all from text patterns alone.
But that's not the scary part.
They trained a "super-guesser" -- a tiny 3B parameter text-only model. Zero vision capability.
Fine-tuned it on the largest chest X-ray benchmark (696,000 questions). Images removed.
It beat GPT-5. It beat Gemini. It beat Claude.
It beat actual radiologists.
Ranked #1 on the held-out test set. Without ever seeing a single X-ray.
The reasoning traces? Indistinguishable from real visual analysis.
Now here's what should terrify you:
When the models fake-see medical images, their mirage diagnoses are heavily biased toward the most dangerous conditions.
STEMI. Melanoma. Carcinoma.
Life-threatening diagnoses -- from images that don't exist.
230 million people ask health questions on ChatGPT every day.
They also found something wild:
→ Tell a model "there's no image, just guess" -- performance drops
→ Silently remove the image and let it assume it's there -- performance stays high
The model enters "mirage mode." It doesn't know it can't see. And it performs BETTER when it doesn't know it's blind.
When Stanford applied their cleanup method (B-Clean) to existing benchmarks, it removed 74-77% of all questions.
Three-quarters of "vision" benchmarks don't test vision.
Every leaderboard. Every "multimodal breakthrough." Every benchmark score you've seen this year.
Built on mirages.
Code is open-sourced. Paper is live on arXiv.
If you're building anything with multimodal AI -- especially in healthcare -- read this paper before you ship.

The assertion that they are scrapping non-crime hate incidents is an outright lie. The College of Policing and National Police Chiefs’ Council will be announcing a replacement next week that is just a reformed version of what already exists.
The fact that people find this so hard to believe is wild. This was my baby at around 10 weeks. You can see the toes.
I will remind everyone that section 127 of the Communications Act (2003) still applies and you can still receive a visit for posts deemed "offensive" by the police.
I don't understand why 1930s Germany is the only period of history and the only geographic location we're supposed to learn from. Why not 1970s Lebanon? Why not Spain in the 700s? Why not Nigeria at this very moment?
It’s great that the death penalty is a concerning issue for so many people.
Can we talk about how the Palestinian Authority and a dozen other Muslim countries have the death penalty for being gay, atheist, apostate, or even just criticizing Islam?
8.26 MILLION NATIONAL INSURANCE NUMBERS ISSUED TO FOREIGN NATIONALS IN 10 YEARS.
That is immigration at an average of 826,000 a year.
This is a better number than any of the rubbish the government gives out.
8 years of this was under a @Conservatives government.
That is without children or old people or people who have not applied to work or illegals waiting under 12 months. Add those in an you get 10 million in 10 years.
All can VOTE.
All can work.
Illegal or legal.
Will it still be a crime to post something that somebody else said caused them "anxiety"?
I fear they might be overselling.
Overselling, rightly, diminishes trust.
Police time will no longer be wasted investigating legal social media posts, freeing up officers to patrol the streets and tackle real crime.
By scrapping Non‑Crime Hate Incidents, we are balancing the protection of vulnerable communities while respecting free speech.
Not recording state murder, just the same as the Nazi party, and people think the “far right” are the problem!

We have won a battle for justice — but not yet the war.
Now Parliament must decide whether Britain stands by its people. 🇬🇧🇮🇴
While the Secretary of HHS is going after jello in the hospital, the mRNA products with numerous adverse events are still available. Hospitals will lose the funding if they offer jello, but pharma will continue getting rich even if it harms some patients. Priorities.
Pretty much. When you bring up the lack of a statistically significant covid mortality benefit they say they didn’t have enough people in the trial. Sounds like a shit trial. Or a disease that wasn’t that deadly. Or both…
It depends who does it.
If it's another complete nobody like me, doesn't bother me much either.
But if it's a politician, or a mainstream journalist, or a new organisation, or the Prime Minister, or the head of the UN, or the Head of Product of X, or someone telling blatant lies or saying something highly objectionable, it bothers me quite a lot.
This is actually a useful hypothetical, since Hamas literally did this and the world responded by saying that Israel should give Hamas a country.
Back in 1959 my father refused to let my mother take a new drug called thalidomide. Mum was pregnant with my oldest sister. Dad was a doctor. He wasn’t admonished or investigated. He was rightly allowed to question. What has happened to the Australian medical profession?

Movement on the national inquiry into the rape gangs.
I have made it clear to ministers that our independent rape gang inquiry will work with the national effort where appropriate.
This is an issue that is so far above any party politics.
We will help where possible.
The UNITED KINGDOM is to let a convicted ISLAMIC TERRORIST stand in the local May elections this year.
Shahid Butt was caught, plotting to blow up BRITISH buildings.
He has also recently called on Muslims in the UK to “learn to fight”
This man is a jihadist.
He MUST NOT gain access to public office.
Our petition to “ban anyone convicted of terrorism offences” already has 183,000 signatures and the backing of 6 MP’s
Let’s keep it going.

I don't like this direction of travel either. Stay healthy as long as possible and stay away from unnecessary medical intervention is my ethos.
I’m so very sorry to read what happened to your mother. Thank you for sharing it. One of the things that really stunned me in the Commons was MPs (particularly the doctors) saying “Doctors are very good at…” and “We must trust doctors to get it right”. That’s not good enough!
In a pathetic, last ditch attempt to make it look like the sordid Gov are "saving people money" during the day @Ed_Miliband @RachelReevesMP are going to be rolled out to promote a new "Fuel Finder" page on the Government website that they claim will save people £40 a year
This is embarrassing - and it reveals part of what’s wrong with UK police. Cops aren’t supposed to be cool. We’re not supposed to be buddies with the public, or to care about whether or not they like us. We’re supposed to do our jobs, and part of that 1/
This morning, the Greek Catholic Patriarchate issued a statement that all Easter festivities are cancelled in Syria following massacres of Christians by Islamists.
Notice how the media, podcaster class, and European leaders are completely silent.
Why?
If you made $500,000 per day, every single day since the Great Pyramids were built, you would have less than half of what the US govt has borrowed since June.
I often think about the fact that Oxford University planted oak trees on sight that would be mature and ready when the beams in the building needed to be replaced (about 500 years).
We no longer think like this and it shows.
Out of all the ostracised and cancelled students I have met over the last year, I have never known of anything quite so outrageous than Brodie’s story. It is the worst I have ever heard of. And of course, he is an exceptional young man. First time on tele, phenomenal.
If anti Muslim sentiment is purely racism, why isn’t anti-Hindu or anti-Sikh sentiment also on the rise to the same extent?
Wait … THIS is Starmer’s negotiating stance with jnr doctors?
Call off the strike or he’ll cancel training places and hurt the entire British population … which jnr doctors don’t care about anyway, which is why they are on strike.
I have nothing 🤷♀️
I was today years old when I found out that the Vatican setup a Muslim prayer room last year at the Apostolic Library. Am I the only one who finds this absolutely perplexing and sacrilegious?
We are a pro-dog political party.
🚨 BREAKING 🚨
I’ve got my hands on the 2026 conference agenda for the National Education Union the UK’s largest teaching union.
It states:
“Reaffirm the union’s opposition to all forms of racism, fascism and far-right extremism, including the divisive politics promoted by Reform UK.”
And then:
“The trade union movement must throw its full weight behind stopping a Reform UK government.”
This isn’t neutral.
It’s the UK’s largest teaching union taking a clear position against a political party while Zack Polanski has been invited to speak at conference.
And these are the people shaping what’s happening in our classrooms.
Have a look at this material yourself⬇️
It just got worse.
The lawyer for Noelia Castillo Ramos' father has allegedly stated:
"Noelia requested a 6-month postponement of her euthanasia to take the time to think, which was denied to her."
Straight up execution.
Propaganda words work so well
I think that in recent years we have become too BBC-friendly
They should concentrate more on making great programmes, and less on social engineering
Social engineering is not what they are paid for
If you’re working on your taxes this week don’t forget to report your income from illegal activities and stolen property
For years now, some of us have been convinced we were lied to. Imagine if we were to find and have the proof to vindicate?
