Why Openai’s solution to AI Hallucinations kills ChatGpt tomorrow
Openai’s latest research paper accurately diagnoses why ChatGpt and other large-scale language models can form things. It is known in the world of artificial intelligence as “hagaku”. It also reveals why the issue is impossible, at least as far as consumers are concerned. This paper provides the most stringent mathematical explanation of why these models […]
Researchers reveal hidden components behind AI creativity
We were once promised to be self-driving cars and robot maids. Instead, we’ve seen the rise of artificial intelligence systems that can beat us in chess. This was one of the great surprises of modern times. Physical tasks that are simple for humans have proven to be extremely difficult for robots, but algorithms increasingly mimic […]
Scientists have asked ChatGpt to solve mathematics problems for over 2,000 years.
The Greek philosopher Plato wrote about Socrates, who challenged students with the question of “doubling the square” in 385 BC. When asked to double the area of the square, students doubled the length of each side, and were unaware that each side of the new square was the original oblique length. Scientists from the University […]
Why does the medicine taste bad?
For something of treatment and healing, most medications have an amazingly harmful taste. From bitter taste syrup to the lasting metallic aftertaste of a certain tablet, why do many of our best treatments taste so bad, and how important is this actually? Most modern drugs have been developed or inspired by compounds found in nature, […]
Is acetaminophen safe during pregnancy? This is what science says.
No, according to WHO. ACOG and AAP. No studies have shown that acetaminophen causes neurodevelopmental problems. Health experts advocate for limiting the use of acetaminophen in pregnancy only when necessary, but some of the most encouraging data comes from a 2022 study in the 2024 JAMA Research Journal of the Journal of the JAMA, which […]
Scientists are confused when the universe explodes repeatedly.”
Unlike previously observed, astronomers scratch their heads after detecting a strange, long-lasting cosmic explosion. The explosion was a series of repeated explosions of high-energy radiation known as gamma-ray bursts. These bursts, the most powerful known explosions in the universe, usually last only for milliseconds to a few minutes, but were observed to erupt almost a […]
Scientists are unraveling the link between contamination and psoriasis
Maharashtra, India — When Babytai Suryavanshi first noticed some scaly patches on her right forearm, she ignored them for three months, thinking it was an infection that would heal in itself. While working in a sorghum field last year, she noticed that the patch was more raised, reddish and burning. The doctor diagnosed her with […]
“If there’s a space race, China is already winning”: NASA is unlikely to bring a sample of Mars back to Earth before China does so, experts say
What if the first sample of Mars rocks is deliberately drawn back to Earth, which landed in Beijing rather than Houston? The scenario is once overstated and approaches reality. The US-led Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission – designed as a carefully curated geological cache capstone of geological samples scooped up from Mars’ Jezero Crater, long […]
“The whole forest has changed”: Amazon’s trees are thicker as CO2 rises in the atmosphere
Trees of all sizes on Amazon Rainforest are getting thicker due to climate change, new research shows. Increased concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere created a more resource-rich environment for Amazon plants, with an average increase in tree circumference at bases since the 1970s, researchers found. “We knew there was an increase in […]
