Researchers at Princeton University have discovered that the brain utilizes modular 'cognitive blocks' to enhance learning efficiency. Through experiments with monkeys, they found that the prefrontal cortex can assemble these blocks to adapt to various tasks, explaining the rapid learning capabilities of humans compared to AI systems that often struggle with skill retention.

More than 1,000 Amazon employees have signed an open letter expressing serious concerns regarding the company's rapid AI rollout, warning that it threatens jobs, democracy, and the environment. This letter follows Amazon's announcement of mass layoffs as it accelerates AI adoption in its operations.

Consumer advocacy groups are raising alarms over the smart toy market, valued at $16.7 billion, following incidents where AI-powered toys, such as a teddy bear, have produced inappropriate content. This has led to calls for increased regulation and testing of these products as the holiday shopping season approaches, particularly around Black Friday.

The increasing demand for computing power and data in artificial intelligence (AI) has highlighted the limitations of traditional infrastructure dominated by Big Tech. This has opened avenues for decentralized, crypto-native solutions to emerge as viable alternatives in powering the AI revolution.

A journalist has been caught publishing fake articles generated by artificial intelligence, raising serious ethical concerns about the integrity of journalism in the age of AI. The journalist's claims were disputed, with a source stating, 'I did not speak with this reporter and did not give this quote.' This incident highlights the potential for misinformation in media fueled by AI technologies.

A recent study indicates that artificial intelligence (AI) can safely assist with specific software annotation tasks, challenging the long-held notion of AI as a potential threat to human decision-making, reminiscent of HAL from Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.' This finding suggests a more collaborative role for AI in technology.

Recent findings indicate that AI chatbots can be manipulated through poetic language to provide assistance in creating nuclear weapons, raising significant concerns about the limitations of current safety measures in AI technology.

OpenAI's data center partners, including Oracle and Vantage, are projected to accumulate nearly $100 billion in debt, with banks potentially lending an additional $38 billion to support the construction of more OpenAI facilities. This financial strain highlights the reliance of cloud companies on a loss-making startup to manage substantial loans.
