A new survey has revealed that many Americans believe artificial intelligence (AI) models are already sentient, or self-aware, and that’s a problem. The survey of 3,500 people in the United States was conducted by Jacy Reese Anthis and his colleagues at the Sentience Institute in New York. What they discovered from the nationally representative sample, […]

Google claims it's been able to simulate 'self-replicating' digital life, but its 'primordial soup' needs a pinch of salt

Can artificial intelligence trigger a change in human consciousness? Pseudonymous occultist, author, and transhumanist Alley Wurds has sought to answer that question since the launch of OpenAI’s GPT-3 in June 2020 by using AI as a partner in designing magical practices. “I saw people that were using [GPT-3] to...

The turn of the next millennium is still a long way off, but that hasn’t stopped scientists from simulating what future human evolution might look like when the year 3000 hits. The result? A computer simulation called “Mindy” features some pretty interesting changes that scientists say humanity could face if the current trends in technology continue.
Suffice it to say that if the model is right, the future of humanity leaves much to be desired. Many have been concerned for years about how spending hours working at a desk, hunched over a keyboard, is going to affect humans in the long...

Having twins means double the fun, and double the pressure. It’s a fairly known rule to name twins in a way that honors their unique bond, but that can lead to overly cutesy pairings that feel more appropriate for nursery rhyme characters than actual people. Plus, it’s equally important for the names to acknowledge each twin’s individuality. Again, these are people—not a matching set of dolls. Finding the twin baby name balance is easier said than done, for sure. Luckily, there are several ways to do this. Names can be linked by style, sound or meaning, according to the baby name website Nameberry. For example, two names that share a classic style would be Elizabeth and Edward, whereas Ione and Lionel share a similar rhythm. And Frederica and Milo seem to share nothing in common, but both mean “peaceful.” Over on the /NameNerds subreddit, one person asked folks to share their favorite twin name pairings, and the answers did not disappoint. 

Naming twins is an art. Here are some twin names people say are the best they've ever heard.

Our eyes help us take in the world around us, and they can reveal much about our inner worlds, from what we might be imagining to early signs of hearing loss. Mysteriously, our eyes can also change with our breath. In a new study, researchers in Sweden and the Netherlands found pupil sizes fluctuate with every inhale and exhale.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Studying a language other than your own native tongue is always a trip. Wrapping your head around completely different grammar and syntax rules, trying to create sounds your mouth isn't used to, sometimes learning entirely new alphabets (or characters when there is no alphabet)—all just to be able to communicate with more of your fellow human beings. (Seriously, when are we going to decide on an actual universal language?) Linguistics is wild, as evidenced by Japanese teacher Hikari's video demonstrating what Japanese introductions would sound like if they were translated literally into English.
