In a recent experiment conducted by Business Insider reporter Katie Notopoulos, the impact of “rage bait” on the Threads algorithm was brought into focus. By posting controversial queries aimed at eliciting emotional responses from users, Notopoulos was able to observe a significant increase in engagement. The findings revealed that posts generating a high number of
While much of the global focus on generative artificial intelligence has centered around big U.S. companies such as OpenAI and Google, China’s tech giants have also made significant strides in this field. Over the past 18 months, companies like Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, and Huawei have launched their own AI models, aiming to capitalize on the
Yann LeCun, the chief AI scientist at Meta, recently criticized supporters of California’s robust AI safety bill, SB 1047. LeCun argued that many of the bill’s proponents have a distorted view of AI’s near-term capabilities. He believes that their inexperience and overestimation of their own abilities could lead to premature and potentially harmful regulations. LeCun’s
Apple’s upcoming iOS 18 is set to revolutionize the world of mobile operating systems with its advanced artificial intelligence features. From rewriting text messages to identifying objects in photos, this new OS is packed with innovative tools that aim to enhance user experience and streamline daily tasks. One of the most intriguing features of iOS
The world of physics has been shaken by a recent discovery made by Professor Sheng Zhigao and his research team at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They have successfully observed the strong nonlinear magnetic second harmonic generation (MSHG) induced by ferromagnetic order in monolayer CrPS4, a two-dimensional van
As Rohit Velankar, a senior at Fox Chapel Area High School, poured juice into a glass, he began to notice the rhythmic sound of “glug, glug, glug” flexing the walls of the carton. This seemingly insignificant moment sparked his curiosity about how a container’s elasticity could potentially affect the way fluids are drained. Initially, this
In a groundbreaking collaboration between research teams from the Charles University of Prague, the CFM (CSIC-UPV/EHU) center in San Sebastian, and CIC nanoGUNE’s Nanodevices group, a cutting-edge material with revolutionary properties in spintronics has been developed. This innovative material, presented in a recent publication in the prestigious journal Nature Materials, heralds a new era in
Scientists working on the Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have recently made a groundbreaking discovery – the detection of the detector’s first neutrino interactions. This achievement marks a significant milestone in the field of particle physics, as the SBND collaboration has been tirelessly working on planning, prototyping, and constructing the detector
Chained Together, the co-op game that involves escaping hell, has recently introduced a map editor feature. This new addition allows players to create their own challenging obstacle courses for their fellow players to navigate through. With the ability to place moving platforms, swinging axes, pulsating spikes, and other nightmarish elements, the possibilities for creating diabolical
The groundbreaking algorithm developed by Prakash Vedula, Ph.D., a distinguished professor at the University of Oklahoma School of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, has made its mark on the world of quantum computing. Known as the Shukla-Vedula algorithm, it has been integrated into advanced computing software by tech giants Google and IBM. This algorithm stands out
