A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

CALIFORNIA – Proposition 33, Justice for Renters Act, will be on the California ballot, November 5, for voters to decide on removing a rent control ban. According to Ballotpedia, a "yes" vote repeals the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act (1995), which will allow cities and counties to limit rent on any housing.

 AI systems could collapse into nonsense as more of the internet gets filled with content made by artificial intelligence, researchers have warned.Recent years have seen increased excitement about text-generating systems such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT. That excitement has led many to publish blog posts and other content created by those systems, and ever more of the internet has been produced by AI.Many of the companies producing those systems use text taken from the internet to train them, however. That may lead to a loop in which the same AI systems being used to produce that text are then being trained...

AI systems could be on the verge of collapsing into nonsense, scientists warn

The potential of quantum computing to transform various areas of future-generation computational systems is undeniable. Recent advancements in quantum hardware have led to significant progress, but noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) processors still face challenges in real-world applications. NASA’s Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab (QuAIL) has been working on assessing and advancing...

Quantum Computing Revolutionizes Future-Generation Computational Systems says NASA

What happens when you feed AI-generated content back into an AI model? Put simply: absolute chaos. A fascinating new study published in the journal Nature shows that AI models trained on AI-generated material will experience rapid "model collapse." Basically, as an AI model cannibalizes AI-generated data, its outputs become increasingly bizarre, garbled, and nonsensical, as if synthetic data — as opposed to high-quality, human-made material — breaks its brain.
