"Wikipedia is in peril. In a world where trust in truth is crumbling, the grande dame of collective online fact-gathering is under threat on every front. The MAGA right, with Elon Musk at the fore, is slinging accusations of political bias and antisemitism and has even questioned the site’s […]

Scientists built a cell from scratch for the first time. It feeds, grows, replicates its DNA, and divides. Called SpudCell. 36 genes, 90K base pairs, 150-200 molecules. Not alive (can't make ribosomes, can't evolve, needs constant feeding) but it's the first complete cell cycle from entirely […]

In Mississippi, lawyers on both sides of a court case were caught using AI, essentially two LLMs arguing against each other. The judge dismissed all lawyers from the case and canceled the trial: www.404media.co/judge-learns...
Judge Learns Lawyers on Both Sides of Case Used AI, Cancels Trial, Kicks Everyone Off the Case
When two AIs argue against each other, the legal system loses.

Wow. Richard Dawkins off the deep end. ‘So my own position is: “If these machines are not conscious, what more could it possibly take to convince you that they are?”’ First he goes on and on about the Turing test like it is some kind of law handed down. Like, the fact that sequences of output […]
