Generative AI models that just feed off one another could end up ‘going mad’ over time, affecting the quality of the output. A new study from researchers from Rice University and Stanford University has highlighted how the quality of generative AI could suffer a decline if AI engines are trained on machine-made input rather than that from humans. In essence, if AI models learn from one another in a cannibalizing fashion, it could affect the long-term quality of the systems.

German computer scientist Michael Berthold became aware of the issue while a professor at Konstanz University, where he consulted with a number of businesses trying to adopt data analytics practices. These businesses frequently expressed a desire for a platform that could help process and analyze their data, Berthold told TechCrunch — and so he and several colleagues set out to build one.

Homo floresiensis holds the record for the smallest human species to have ever graced our planet, but some of them might have been even smaller than we first imagined.
A 700,000-year-old fragment of an adult humerus uncovered in 2013 has recently been classified as belonging to an early representative of a species once colorfully described as 'hobbits'.

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.

Right down to a cellular level, life requires water for survival.
Predicting how liquid H2O squeezes its way through molecular-scale plumbing requires a level of simulation that currently taxes even the most powerful computers.



					
			

So researchers in the US turned to  machine learning to figure out how water's electric properties change when trapped inside nanometer-sized cylinders made of pure carbon.
Don't let water's apparent simplicity fool you. Inside every molecule there's a single oxygen bullying its hydrogen sidekicks for more than its fair share of electron time, creating an imbalance in charge referred to as a dipole.
This imbalance gives water its mix...
