Chatbots use statistical models of human language to predict what words should come nextLaurence Dutton/Getty Images Artificial intelligences that are trained using text and images from other AIs, which have themselves been trained on AI outputs, could eventually become functionally useless. AIs such as ChatGPT, known as large language models (LLMs), use vast repositories of human-written text from the internet to create a statistical model of human language, so that they can predict which words are most likely to come next in a sentence. Since they have been available, the internet has become awash with AI-generated text, but the effect…

Credit: Zhou lab A new article titled “The complete reference genome for grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) genetics and breeding” has been published in Horticulture Research. This gap-free PN_T2T genome (494.87 Mb) has improved significantly over previous versions.

Orientation errors in 12X.v0 were also corrected such as inversions and translocations compared to PN_T2T. The authors found the telomere repeat…

It’s been a long time coming, but former Megadeth bassist and current Dieth bassist David Ellefson has stepped up to the mic to take his first ever solo lead vocal, fronting Dieth on their new song “Walk With Me Forever.”It’s not the traditional heavy fare for Ellefson, as the new song takes on a moodier approach with Ellefson adding his deeper and more weathered vocal to fronting the track, which picks up to something more dynamic and anthemic by the time it hits the chorus.”We’ve all experienced loss and grief at some point in our life, and this song expresses…

It’s been roughly a quarter century since the men of Sheffield, England, danced onstage going The Full Monty, and a lot has happened. In FX’s limited series, you won’t see any steelworkers stripping to “You Sexy Thing.” “No one wants to see that,” star Robert Carlyle says, laughing. Despite retaining the 1997 film’s title, the eight-episode comedic drama from original writer Simon Beaufoy shines a light on new challenges faced by the local community and its rascally inhabitants, raising awareness around education and poverty. Here’s why this chapter, full of heart, is worth a look. (Credit: Ben Blackall/FX) 1. Everyone’s…

Buckthorn seedlings on the forest floor. Credit: Michael Schuster According to new research from the University of Minnesota, buckthorn managers have long overestimated the plant, and in doing so, have given the invasive tree a significant advantage in spreading widely and pushing native species out of woodlands and forests throughout eastern North America. In their recently published article in the journal Biological Invasions, the research team explains how the often-discussed timeline of buckthorn growing from seed didn’t match what they or any of their collaborators across Minnesota saw in nature. Traditionally, buckthorn management strategies have focused on repeated cutting and…

For years, the endlessly delayed Avatar sequel was like a running joke in Hollywood. It was first announced not long after the original movie became the biggest hit in film history, but kept getting pushed back. Every few years, James Cameron would pop up, concede the movie wasn’t ready yet and wouldn’t come out on time. Then he’d tease even more sequels down the line, and get back to work.Avatar: The Way of Water finally opened in theaters late last year, and like its predecessor soon became one of the highest-grossing pictures in all of cinema history. Cameron had claimed that part of…

Forget what you’ve heard about what makes a body worthy of a bikini. All it takes is some self-love and confidence! By Gillette Venus Date June 21, 2023 As a kid growing up in the late ’90s, I constantly felt self-conscious about my body. Diet commercials played 24-7 and trendy workout videotapes were in every household. It seemed no one around me was happy with their body the way it was, which taught me that there must be something wrong with my own body. Specifically, I was concerned about my round belly. I fantasized about waking up with a flat…

April 10 was a very bad day in the life of celebrity gamer and YouTuber Atrioc (Brandon Ewing). Ewing was broadcasting one of his usual Twitch livestreams when his browser window was accidentally exposed to his audience. During those few moments, viewers were suddenly face-to-face with what appeared to be deepfake porn videos featuring female YouTubers and gamers QTCinderella and Pokimane—colleagues and, to my understanding, Ewing’s friends. Moments later, a quick-witted viewer uploaded a screenshot of the scene to Reddit, and thus the scandal was a fact. Deepfakes refer broadly to media doctored by AI, commonly to superimpose a person’s face onto…

President Biden has tapped Mandy Cohen as the next director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Her appointment is not a usual changing of the guard, but rather a chance for a fresh direction for the beleaguered agency—with implications for the health of us all. With Cohen officially taking the reins next week, the conventional wisdom is that the CDC’s reset should revolve around better communication, swifter science and a well-resourced and less-fragmented public health system. All of those matter, and indeed the CDC’s own modernization plan, developed by outgoing CDC chief Rochelle Walensky, reflects most of…

The Mac Studio is the perfect middle ground for power users.

It’s the Goldilocks Mac—just right.You have the choice to outfit it with the M2 Max ($1,999) or M2 Ultra ($3,999)—two of the most powerful Apple chips available—but this further encroaches on the Mac Pro’s territory, since Apple’s pricey desktop computer is also powered by the M2 Ultra. For the vast majority of folks that need a powerful machine, you don’t need…
