Last week, a street interview fooled everyone entirely. The woman confidently discussed AI making ‘haters go crazy’ while an interviewer listened intently. Someone watched from behind as pedestrians moved naturally through the nighttime scene. Everything looked completely authentic. Then someone revealed the truth, and people felt uncomfortable.

A new medical simulation video by Dr. Paulien Moyaert shows how cancer progresses and leads patients to death. The truth is very different from what most people think.

Whooping cough is back, and it’s hitting Australia harder than anyone expected. Case numbers are breaking records that stood for decades.
