   Hoopla, which provides U.S. public libraries with ebooks, says it will do more to prevent their distribution after @404mediaco showed they were common on the platform. An AI-generated book about Elon Musk and a cookbook about fatty liver by an author who does not appear to exist were highlighted in the original report by @emanuelmaiberg. Some librarians say that Hoopla’s “light on details” statement avoids accountability.

     This NBC story on how mRNA vaccines might show promise in addressing pancreatic cancer was so good, our @ScienceDesk shared it twice. And we’re sharing it a third time because vaccines work, and mRNA vaccines are a phenomenal scientific achievement that should be celebrated.
