Nigel Farage’s effort to turn a by-election into a populist showdown has instead become a British political farce: the major parties are sitting it out, leaving him potentially facing only Count Binface, a satirical candidate who campaigns with a trash can on his head, Metro reports. Farage triggered the vote after resigning amid scrutiny over […]

Because of the way they are trained, large language models capture only a slice of human language. They’re trained on the written word, from textbooks to social media posts, and our speech as captured in movies and on television. These models have minimal access to the unscripted conversations we have face to face or voice to voice. This is the vast majority of speech, and a vital component of human culture.
There’s a risk to this. The increased use of large language models means we humans will encounter much more AI-generated text. We humans, in turn, will begin to adopt the linguistic patterns and behaviors of these models. This will affect not just how we communicate with one another, but also how we ...

Punchbowl News: “The problem for Hill Republicans is that they’ve been hearing Trump say this same line for months already, with no permanent peace deal reached so far. They didn’t love Trump’s memorandum of understanding with Iran last month — signed by the president to great fanfare in Versailles — but it ended a growing […]
The hunt for ancient life on Mars just got an important test run. Scientists confirmed that the Rosalind Franklin rover's sophisticated instrument can detect subtle differences in two stable molecules that could preserve evidence of past life for billions of years. But the team also uncovered a surprise: organic molecules in the Murchison meteorite appear to have been contaminated by fossil fuel pollution during their journey through Earth's atmosphere.
