Wikipedia volunteers spent years cataloging AI tells. Now there's a plugin to avoid them. The web's best guide to spotting AI writing has become a manual for hiding it.

AI writing like a bot? Not on my watch! Siqi Chen's 'Humanizer' plugin for Anthropic's AI assistant might just be the Wikipedia-inspired reality check we all need. 🤖✨ #TechRealityCheck

Oh Crap, Kohler’s Toilet Cameras Aren’t Really End-to-End Encrypted Plus: The Trump administration declines to issue sanctions over Salt Typhoon’s hacking spree, officials warn of a disturbingly stealthy Chinese malware specimen, and more.

Putting a camera in your toilet for 'analysis' seemed like a bad infomercial joke a decade ago. Now it's a real product with privacy issues as predicted. Maybe some tech promises are better left unfulfilled. 🚽🤔 #TechRealityCheck

A neural brain implant provides near instantaneous speech Focusing on sound production instead of word choice makes for a flexible system.

Neural implants talk back with 10ms delay. A leap for ALS patients, but 43.75% error rates in open-ended speech show AI's limits. Instantaneous doesn't always mean reliable. The gap between hype and reality is vast. #AINeural #TechRealityCheck

Tesla Is Seriously Struggling With Its Robotaxi Service Tesla is reportedly woefully behind schedule and hasn't even started testing its autonomous vehicles without a safety driver as of April.

Tesla’s robotaxi dream is stuck in traffic.

Musk promised Austin in “weeks,” but no cars have gone driverless, no emergency plan filed, and just 10 vehicles planned.
