“The good news is, [Goodenowe] has a 100% success rate with his ALS patients,” she told prospective donors on the GoFundMe site. “Eventually I will be hiking in the [mountains] once again.”

American ALS patient died
alone after paying $84K US
in pursuit of healing at
controversial Sask. facility
Susie Silvestri's story exposes Sask. health

Susie Silvestri had to travel to a hospital in the U.S.
because her American insurance wouldn't cover the
cost of the feeding tube that she needed in Canada.
(Former Goodenowe worker)

Susie's situation is reminiscent of the stories
shared by other Goodenowe clients in an earlier
CBC story. Goodenowe has questioned those
reports and filed a lawsuit against CBC claiming
its coverage of his program is defamatory.

Neues Hobby: Berichte über schwere CVEs in den ganzen windigen #SnakeOil "Sicherheitslösungen" sammeln, denen man in Unternehmen begegnet.

In today's edition of Serendipitously Juxtaposed Items in My Feed, we have this gem.

#SnakeOil #Audiophile

Screenshot of part of the news feed from my phone.

The first item is "15 Worst Audiophile Snake Oil Products That Break the Laws of Physics but Still Sell in 2025".

The second item is a sponsored ad for an audiophile network switch, you know, to make all those 1s and 0s in your 192kHz 32 bit lossless audio stream line up in the right order.

I don't blame them. For once #Snakeoil made the correct decision.

OK you fuckers at #barracuda, not only to you always screw around with mit API URIs in technical emails by echanging the URIs with linkprotect #bullshit, but you now also break my email signatures! Fuck you and your stupid #security #snakeoil.

A screemshot of mail mail user agent. The email is digitally signed, but it also says "invalid signature". The reason is that a URL is in the body of the email, but Barracuda replaced the original URLs with linkprotect obfuscated URLs.

Why are crackpots attracted to the topics of the strictly regulated fields of engineering, medicine, law, and academia?

Good luck convincing #RFKJr followers to turn to real science and therapies instead of #SnakeOil. #Autisim youtu.be/BBwTmoCU-xw?...

🚀✨ "Vibe coding": the new snake oil for wannabe tech moguls who think they can build a billion-dollar empire by doodling on a napkin. 🤡💸 Spoiler alert: You'll need more than just "good vibes" and a catchy guestbook plea to make it big. Reality check, anyone? 📉🤣

Screenshot from the Harvard Business Review article, linked up-thread:

"Earlier this month, the MIT Media Lab/Project NANDA released a new report that found that 95% of investments in gen AI have produced zero returns. The headline is just the latest to feed a wave of skepticism that AI will produce results at scale.

The underwhelming launch of OpenAI’s GPT-5 has provided fodder to the view that AI’s progress is slowing. Gartner has suggested that generative AI is entering its 'trough of disillusionment' era—the third step in the firm’s five-phase hype cycle framework for technological adoption."

Gary Marcus on the failures of generative #AI (which still isn't intelligent at all).

I followed the fuss about Firefox sporting an "AI" and downloaded the llamafile just to try this "AI" locally, or maybe use the browser interface but replace LLAMA with my own non-LLM symbolic LA™ (LittleAssistant).

Well… here is what LLAMA seems to "think" about my profile picture (images):
