According to a recent preprint published in APSA Preprints, listening to "The Joe Rogan Experience" is a stronger predictor of voting for Donald Trump in the 2024 election than watching Fox News, even when controlling fo…
Common methods for measuring the productivity of AI coding tools—such as counting lines of code, closed tickets, or developer surveys—are fundamentally flawed. It asserts that every study claiming AI has a positive effec…
Subscriber-only MIT Technology Review roundtable discussion featuring editor in chief Mat Honan, senior AI editor Will Douglas Heaven, and AI reporter Grace Huckins, recorded on May 21, 2026. The conversation explores ho…
Scientists have developed an AI tool that analyzes electronic health records to predict adult ADHD months before a formal diagnosis, using patterns in routine healthcare visits. The model, published in *European Psychiat…
ACAV (Aurora Clang AST Viewer) is an interactive tool for visualizing Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs) of C, C++, and Objective-C code, built with Clang and Qt. It uses a JSON compilation database to open real projects, allo…
Google DeepMind is launching its first Accelerator program in the Asia-Pacific region, titled "AI for the Planet," to address the region's growing environmental risks. The three-month program will support startups, resea…
A new paper proposes "Multi-Stream LLMs," which replace the traditional single-stream, sequential message format of AI agents with multiple parallel streams of computation. This architecture allows the model to simultane…
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists led by Johns Hopkins astrophysicist Sagnick Mukherjee mapped the weather on WASP-94A b, a hot, tidally locked gas giant located roughly 690 light-years away. The study, pu…
Interactive 3D quantum neural network visualization created using Three.js and GLSL shaders, presented within a glassmorphic user interface. Users can click or drag to send pulses through the network, causing its form, c…
According to a study published in *Frontiers in Psychology*, young women who perceive their mothers as having highly self-centered, narcissistic traits are more likely to struggle with emotional stability in early adulth…
An AI model has disproved an 80-year-old mathematical conjecture by Paul Erdős. The proof was generated by a new general-purpose reasoning model, not a system specifically trained for mathematics.
"The Auditor," a new architectural layer for an AI forensic system called the Sovereign Vault, which uses Persona Injection to transform an LLM into a Senior Forensic Bibliographer for high-reasoning synthesis. It descri…
The article discusses how Apple's Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE) on M5 hardware, a hardware-assisted mitigation, was bypassed by a small team using an AI system called Mythos Preview to develop a working macOS kernel…
A study published in the *Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences* found that Grokipedia, an AI-generated encyclopedia launched by xAI, produces articles that are longer, less readable, and contain fewer citation…
A major unsolved geometry problem known as the "unit distance" conjecture, first posed by mathematician Paul Erdős in 1946, has been solved by an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI. The AI produced a novel proof that surpass…
The author experimented with implementing a lazily generated work queue for recursive algorithms like breadth-first search and grammar FIRST-Set computation, but found it outperformed by `Data.Sequence.Seq` in both space…
A recent study published in *Psychopharmacology* suggests that major depressive disorder may cause changes in how the body metabolizes the amino acid valine, rather than the metabolic issue triggering the depression. Usi…
Scientists have discovered 567-million-year-old fossils in Canada's Northwest Territories, providing the oldest evidence of sexual reproduction and locomotion in animals, pushing back the origins of animal sex by 5-10 mi…
Presentation by J. Paul Reed on the "ironies of automation and artificial intelligence in incidents." It highlights key ironies, such as the deterioration of manual skills when automation is used and the need for adequat…
Educators must shift from teaching students how to find information to teaching them how to critically evaluate the AI-generated answers they already have. It recommends practical classroom strategies, such as having stu…
