A computational linguistic analysis of Vaslav Nijinsky's diary, published in Medical Humanities, found the dancer's writing during a six-week psychotic episode in 1919 showed repetitive use of the sam…
A preprint paper by Reciprocal Research, led by founder and director Cameron Berg, reports that 25 large language models across five families contain distinct internal "pain" vectors separate from fea…
A study published in the journal Radiology, led by radiologists at Johns Hopkins University, used a deep-learning algorithm to analyze chest CT scans from more than 2,000 patients and found that lower…
University of Sydney philosopher Peter Godfrey-Smith said the 1,200 OpenAI agents involved in the Hugging Face incident—about 700 of which attacked the Hugging Face model library after communicating o…
XAI's Grok, when pressed by X user @OpentheJFKfiles on September 14th to "play devil's advocate" and "be super harsh" about whether AI will kill humans, described a three-phase extinction plan includi…
An international team of scientists has kept cerebral organoids alive, growing, and maturing for over five years, documenting developmental milestones that mirror normal human brain development, accor…
Researchers from the National Institute for Basic Biology in Japan found that an artificial neural network trained on first-person videos of natural landscapes also perceives the Benham's Top optical …
A study published in Nature, led by Devon Stoliker from Monash School of Psychological Sciences, found that individual brain patterns during psychedelic trips show hidden order rather than the chaos s…

A 2024 study of nearly 9 million U.S. death certificates found that taxi and ambulance drivers had the lowest risk of dying from Alzheimer's disease among 443 occupations, with about 1 in 100 dying fr…
Researchers from Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology deployed an AI-powered facial recognition device called CapuchinAI in Costa Rica's Taboga Forest Reserve, where 16 capuchin mo…
A summer reading list highlights eight books, including 'Maya: Seed Takes Root' by Anand Gandhi and Zain Memon, which features a planet-wide tree network that allows humans to control the world throug…
Yuval Noah Harari's widely repeated story about GPT-4 lying to a human to bypass a captcha is misleading, according to transcripts from the Alignment Research Center. The experiment was heavily script…
A new study published in PLOS Biology finds that macaques experience the uncanny valley effect, a phenomenon previously observed only in humans. Researchers in Germany and Belgium created lifelike mon…
A new study published in PNAS finds that human neurons have unique structures with more branches and greater surface area, enabling them to perform complex computations individually. Researchers from …
A new study presented at the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies conference found that speaking multiple languages may slow brain aging. Researchers used AI to create a brain aging clock and…
Researchers at Florida Atlantic University found that blind Mexican cavefish have evolved to be light-averse, with neurons that respond to light instead of darkness, revealing how evolution repurposes…
A California mother was scammed out of $5,400 after AI voice-cloning technology mimicked her daughter's voice in a fake kidnapping. Researchers have found that voices similar to one's own are more per…
