How to spot misinformation in the age of AI
Get yourself a 20-30 pound pack or vest for this one. You’ll be taking it on and off during the workout.
For the shuttle runs, 1 reps is 25 feet out, and 25 feet back. When weighted, no need to touch the ground—just cross the line each time.

Preparation
Preheat your oven to 300°F. Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels to help the spices adhere and promote better browning. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, and a generous pinch of salt. Rub the spice mixture evenly over all sides of the pork, pressing it into the meat.
Place the pork in a small roasting dish or Dutch oven. If desired, add 1–2 tablespoons of water to the bottom of the dish to prevent scorching. Cover tightly with a lid or foil and roast for about 3 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10–15 minutes. Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces, mixing it with its natural juices to keep it moist.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Whisk gently and bring to a very light simmer (do not boil). Allow it to cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and velvety. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Remove from heat.
Thinly slice the fennel bulb (a mandoline works well for extra crisp texture). Place in a bowl and toss with lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Gently massage the fennel for 20–30 seconds to slightly soften it while keeping its crunch. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to develop.
Arrange the shredded pork on a plate, spoon the warm mustard cream over the top, and finish with a generous pile of fennel slaw for brightness and texture contrast
This post traces the history of a viral image falsely described as "the most detailed view of a human cell ever captured." The image is actually a digital illustration created in 2001, yet it continues to spread because it is visually compelling, sounds scientifically plausible, and is amplified by social media algorithms that reward engagement over accuracy.
Using the image as a case study, Mia explains why misinformation spreads so easily online and why generative AI is making the problem even harder to navigate. Rather than relying on social media platforms or AI chatbots to determine what is true, she encourages readers to become more intentional about the information they consume, use simple verification tools such as reverse image searches, and strengthen their own critical thinking before sharing claims online.
