 AI Chatbots Are Mimicking Human Personality Types - This Is a Serious Concern According to Experts Chatbots powered by artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT are becoming remarkably human-like. However, emerging research shows that instead of merely imitating the human language system, they are actually imitating the human personality traits. Recently, a study conducted by scientists from the University of Cambridge and Google DeepMind has found that common AI models can easily embody human-like personalities.  Although it can lead to better user experiences, it poses severe threats in the realms of manipulation, trust, and emotional impact. AI Can Now Mimic Human Personality Scientists have worked on the first scientifically based personality test structure for AI-powered chatbots. They did not have to create new instruments but used already existing psychological tests used to analyze a human personality. This framework has been used on 18 prominent large language model...

Astronomers Discover a Lemon-Shaped Planet One of the most bizarre exoplanet findings ever recorded has been made by astronomers: a lemon-shaped planet. The weird world was detected with the use of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, JWST-the most advanced space observatory ever built. The finding challenges long-standing assumptions about the ways that planets are formed and is yet again another example that the universe doesn't follow simple rules. What is PSR J2322-2650b? The unusual planet is officially known as PSR J2322-2650b, orbits around a pulsar - a dense, fast-spinning remnant of a dead star. Pulsars are extremely powerful for their small size-a pulsar is only a city-sized star and they can have mass then the  Sun, while they rotate hundreds of times per second. This gives them some of the most extreme environments in space because of the immense gravitational and radiation forces. Why Is the Planet Lemon-Shaped? All other planets tend to be spherical because of the b...

Ghanaian Noah Affirms that He Is Building Wooden Arks to Save Humanity from the Biblical Flood An unusual and controversial tale has gone viral online: a self-proclaimed Ghana prophet, named Ebo Noah, claims to be building arks of wood to save humanity from an imminent biblical flood that he claims will start on Christmas Day.  As Christmas draws near, global curiosity and skepticism continue to mount in this so-called "Ghanaian Noah." Who Is Ebo Noah, the Modern-Day Noah of Ghana? Ebo Noah, also known as "Ebo Jesus" or "Igbo Noah," says God himself chose him to be the "Biblical Noah" in this world. This prophet proclaims that in the near future, there will be a three-year flood that will cover the entire earth, destroying all civilizations, so only those in his arks will be left alive. The Biblical Flood Prophecy: Why December 25th? Ebo Noah says the flood would start Christmas Day, a day otherwise associated with joy and religious celebration b...

Divers Searching for Alexander the Great's Tomb Make Incredible Discovery Underwater The team of underwater archaeologists searching for evidence of the legendary lost tomb of Alexander the Great stumbled upon an incredible find off the Mediterranean shore: an ancient Egyptian pleasure barge that has lived only in paintings and stories for thousands of years.    A Discovery Hidden Beneath Alexandria’s Waters    While exploring Alexandria's sunken harbour, divers found the remarkably well-preserved wreck of an ancient vessel called a thalamagos - a kind of royal pleasure barge previously known only from ancient texts and mosaics. It was found near Antirhodos Island, the place which had always been associated with the legendary Cleopatra, Alexander the Great, and the mighty Ptolemaic dynasty. Today, it lies submerged about 16 feet underwater, having sunk after earthquakes and a tsunami in 365 CE. What is a Thalamagos? No mere ship was a thalamagos. Ancient writers des...

Small Solar-Powered Medical Microrobots: How Targeted Therapy Will Be Changed by Micro-Robots. Imagine a medical procedure that doesn't involve an incision; instead, tiny robots that are smaller than a grain of salt navigate tissues and blood vessels to diagnose illnesses,  administer medications, or fix cells. In order to realize that vision, recent prototypes integrate AI control systems, light-harvesting (solar) power, and onboard microcomputers. This article describes the operation of solar-powered microrobots, their best medical applications, the ethical and technical challenges, and what the near future may hold.

 A Swedish Musician Taught an Octopus to Play Piano - And the Internet Just Can't Handle It. Having trouble engaging your class with learning new melodies?  Perhaps all it takes is. a crab. At least, that’s what Swedish artist and YouTube personality Mattias Krantz uncovered on one of his most bizarre music projects yet : he put an octopus on piano. Yes, really. And the thing that happened is even more unbelievable than it seems. A Musician Meets an Octopus Mattias Krantz, who was known for his bizarre music challenges on YouTube, visited a live market for fish but spotted an octopus there.  Unwilling to leave it without an owner, he took it home with him and named it Takoyaki. Because he loved music as well as all living creatures, he had a somewhat bizarre idea: “I’ve always wanted to teach an animal piano.” And what better student than an octopus, an animal recognized for intelligence and curiosity. According to scientists, an octopus' intelligence ranks with that of...

 Satirical Art Exhibit Reveals Tech Elite – and the AI Future That’s Being Built for Us What do you get when you mix billionaire tech leaders, robot dogs, and a dark sense of humor? This year, attendees of Art Basel Miami Beach found themselves in a setting that resembled  a cross between a sci-fi zoo and a tech-hellscape. The installation, named “Regular Animals,” was designed by digital artist Beeple, and it has quickly become one of the most popular satirical artworks of the past years. Why? Because, you see, robots did not simply wander through the gallery. They were watching you, analyzing you, then literally shitting out pictures of you that AIs produced. “Welcome to the future.” The Idea Behind the Madness Beeple's message appears rough, but his message gets straight to the point: They are getting humongous amounts of data from us without even realizing it, and then our lives are turned into fuel for their AI. Thus, rather than concealing the process, Beeple chose to ...

People Can Detect Buried Objects Without Touching Them - New Study Unveils a Hidden Sense.  people may possess a secret sense that we never actually knew we had? A new study indicates that sometimes people can feel the objects buried under such material as sand—without touching them. This surprising finding was presented at the IEEE International Conference on Development and Learning and demonstrates that humans have a basic "remote touch"-something that normally would be associated with certain shorebirds. What is Remote Touch? This is the ability of some birds, such as sandpipers and plovers, to detect prey hiding under the sand by sensing minute vibrations. Up until now, this was believed to be an ability peculiar to animals possessing specialized beaks. In fact, researchers found that using just their hands , humans can do something similar. How the Study Worked Elisabetta Versace, with colleagues at the Queen Mary University of London, asked 12 volunteers to participate...

 Scientists Discover a Tiny Jellyfish With 24 Eyes — and It Lives Right Next to a City A team of scientists has just discovered an astonishing new species in one of the last places you'd expect-a shrimp pond inside Hong Kong's Mai Po Nature Reserve. The creature, a tiny box jellyfish named Tripedalia maipoensis , stands out for one extraordinary feature: it has 24 eyes. Measuring only half an inch in length, this jellyfish represents a very rare group of box jellyfish with cube-shaped bodies that are fast swimmers and have quite complex behavior. This finding was published in Zoological Studies and was researched by Professor Qiu Jianwen from Hong Kong Baptist University. A Tiny Animal with an Amazing Visual System Tripedalia maipoensis may look deceptively simple, but its biology is anything but. Like its Caribbean relative Tripedalia cystophora, this species has: A nearly transparent, cube-shaped bell Three flat “pedalia” on each corner used in locomotion Long tentacles reac...

 1,800-Year-Old Roman "Piggy Banks" Found in a French Village — Filled With Over 40,000 Coins. It was in the quiet French village of Senon that archaeologists made one of the most fascinating finds this year: three ancient jars full of tens of thousands of Roman coins buried almost 1,800 years ago. These jars, called amphorae, were discovered by the National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research during a routine excavation. What initially seemed to be ordinary pottery was actually giant ancient savings accounts, hidden carefully beneath the floor of an old Roman-era house. A Fortune Hidden Under a Living Room The three amphorae were interred in the living room of a Roman house, in well-constructed pits. Their mouths were aligned at ground level and easily accessible — not unlike ancient piggy banks. Here's what the archaeologists found: Jar 1: Approximately 23,000–24,000 coins (83 pounds / 38 kg) Jar 2: Around 18,000–19,000 coins (110 pounds / 50 kg) Jar 3: Mo...

 Michaela Benthanus: First Wheelchair User to Go to Space with Blue Origin. It is expected that Blue Origin will make history in space with its forthcoming mission, NS-37 , carrying the first wheelchair user to space-engineer Michaela "Michi" Benthanus. Benthanus works at the European Space Agency and went paralyzed after a mountain biking accident in 2018.

 The Science Behind "Telepathy" How Your Brain Syncs With Others Without You Knowing Have you ever had a conversation with someone and just clicked-instantly, as if your minds were aligned in silent agreement? It turns out that feeling isn't magic, coincidence, or intuition. It's science. Researchers have found what they call neural coupling, a phenomenon wherein two people's brains actually synchronize during communication. This weird, almost telepathic connection shapes how we talk, understand, learn, and bond and often without us even knowing it. Your Brain Might Be "Transmitting"—Just Like Telepathy. Neuroscientist Uri Hasson, PhD, one of the founders of brain-to-brain coupling, discribes our brains to a sort of wireless transmitter. When two people engage in conversation, their brains settle into the same rhythm, producing identical patterns of activity—almost as if two radios are tuned into the same channel. Hasson says this is not sci-fi telepathy...
