PBS Newshour - 1 day 6 hours agoOpenAI announced it had discovered six new instances of "concerning or unexpected" behavior by its artificial intelligence models. It follows repeated warnings about how rapid advances in AI threaten to outpace the ability to develop the tech safely. One of those warnings came from Jacob Coxon, a former researcher at Anthropic and OpenAI. Coxon joined Geoff Bennett to discuss his concerns.

GeekSpin - 1 day 15 hours agoTurns out, Earth may be more of a local kid than scientists thought. A new study from ETH Zurich suggests the material that built our planet came almost entirely from the inner Solar System, rather than being a cosmic mix of ingredients from both sides of Jupiter.

Prosthetic arms and hands often stop working when wearers start to sweat. A New Zealand team of engineers and assistive technologists argues that a small change using light-based sensors on the skin instead of electrical sensors that pick up nerve activity could fix the problem. For decades, electrical muscle sensors have been the default way for a device to infer the user's desired hand, wrist, and finger motions. By placing electrodes on a prosthetic-wearer's arm near key muscle groups...
