Humanity’s superpower is sweating—but rising heat could be our kryptonite, and an average temperature rise of 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels could bring regular, fatal heat waves to large parts of the planet, says Tom Matthews, a senior lecturer in environmental geography at King’s College London.“We have evolved to cope with the most extreme heat and humidity the planet can throw at us,” he explains. But when our core temperature gets to about 42 degrees Celsius (around 107.5 degrees Fahrenheit), people…

Google said Thursday it is temporarily stopping its Gemini artificial intelligence chatbot from generating images of people a day after apologizing for “inaccuracies” in historical depictions that it was creating. Gemini users this week posted screenshots on social media of historically white-dominated scenes with racially diverse characters that they say it generated, leading critics to raise questions about whether the company is over-correcting for the risk of racial bias in its AI model. “We’re already…

X is slowly rolling out audio and video calling to users that don't pay for its premium subscription service that's formerly known as Twitter Blue. Enrique Barragan, an engineer for the company, has shared the news on the platform. The company initially launched the feature for iOS users last year, giving paying subscribers the option to call other people through the app, and was a step towards making X the "everything" application Elon Musk wants it to be. Earlier this year, the capability made its way to Android…

Roughly one out of ten people around the globe have an eye color that, in poetic terms, can be likened to the shade of a summer sky, the hue of a tropical ocean, or even the pale tint of a flawlessly cut aquamarine.In some European populations, that fraction can skyrocket to as high as three out of every four individuals.Why this color persists in competition with the more earthy tones of a darkly pigmented iris has long been a cause for speculation. Now, anthropologists in the UK propose blue eyes could have a slight…

To examine how Gen AI gets stuck by recursion, the authors devised a simple test for large language models (LLMs). Given a piece of code -- such as adding numbers recursively -- can an LLM produce a description of the pattern of recursion in the code? Zhang and team choose a classic programming task, called a tree traversal. A data type in computing is called a tree type if it has branching parts that lead to further branches -- kind of tree that contains more trees. To "traverse" the tree means to inspect each part of…
