“Existential risk” – Why scientists are racing to define consciousness
Scientists warn that rapid advances in AI and neurotechnology are outpacing our understanding of consciousness, creating serious ethical risks. New research argues that developing scientific tests for awareness could transform medicine, animal welfare, law, and AI development. But identifying consciousness in machines, brain organoids, or patients could also force society to rethink responsibility, rights, and …

Onnit’s Instant Melatonin Spray Keeps Bedtime Uncomplicated
Just spritz and sleep—no melatonin tablets or pills necessary.
Geometry behind how AI agents learn revealed
A new study from the University at Albany shows that artificial intelligence systems may organize information in far more intricate ways than previously thought. The study, “Exploring the Stratified Space Structure of an RL Game with the Volume Growth Transform,” has been published online through arXiv.
Self-Supervised Learning with Gaussian Processes
Self supervised learning (SSL) is a machine learning paradigm where models learn to understand the underlying structure of data without explicit supervision from labeled samples. The acquired representations from SSL have demonstrated useful for many downstream tasks including clustering, and linear classification, etc. To ensure smoothness of the representation space, most SSL methods rely on …

Right-Wing Gun Enthusiasts and Extremists Are Working Overtime to Justify Alex Pretti’s Killing
Donald Trump has appeared to undermine Second Amendment rights in statements about Alex Pretti’s killing. Many in the firearms community are going along with it.
Say what’s on your mind, and AI can tell what kind of person you are
If you say a few words, generative AI will understand who you are—maybe even better than your close family and friends. A new University of Michigan study found that widely available generative AI models (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, LLaMa) can predict personality, key behaviors and daily emotions as or even more accurately than those closest to …

End-of-January LTX-2 Drop: More Control, Faster Iteration
We just shipped a new LTX-2 drop focused on one thing: making video generation easier to iterate on without killing VRAM, consistency, or sync. If you’ve been frustrated by LTX because prompt iteration was slow or outputs felt brittle, this update is aimed directly at that. Here’s the highlights, the full details are here. What’s …
