Their findings, recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, highlight key differences between AI-generated and human-written text.“Humans adapt their writing style based on context—sometimes formal, sometimes informal,” explained Alex Reinhart,...
Machine learning is helping LIGO scientists extract meaningful signals from chaotic data, opening doors for future breakthroughs in astrophysics and data science. Credit: SciTechDaily.comA newly developed AI-driven tool is transforming how scientists process vast amounts of data from the LIGO gravitational wave observatory. Without requiring human input, it identifies environmental noise sources—such as earthquakes...

AIs allow us to outsource the act of thinking... That doesn't bode well for the future of the human brain. Credit: PixabayAs technology becomes deeply embedded in our daily routines, it can physically alter our brains. However, each time we delegate a task to technology, we risk allowing our abilities to diminish. What happens...

According to the post, there will be a live demonstration of Grok 3 this Monday (17) at 8 PM Pacific...
A superconductor (the dark material) makes a magnetic cube levitate. The field of the magnet induces currents in the superconductor that generate an equal and opposite field, balancing out the gravitational force on the cube.(Oak Ridge National Laboratory)From the Bronze Age to the Industrial Revolution and beyond, new materials have driven technological advancements and shaped civilizations....
