Ancient Roman Street Vendors Served Up Songbirds

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2026-04-10 16:35:17

Ancient Romans in need of a quick bite often chowed down on fried songbirds, new research suggests. A researcher working on the island of Mallorca found bones of song thrushes inside a trash pit near the ruins of an ancient fast food joint. The study, published in May in the International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, suggests that thrushes were commonly sold and consumed in Roman cities. This challenges the long-held belief that these small, speckled birds were a delicacy reserved for elite ban

The world’s leading artificial intelligence companies are stepping up efforts to deal with a growing problem of chatbots telling people what they want to hear. OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic are all working on reining in sycophantic behavior by their generative AI products that offer over-flattering responses to users.

The Download: AI agents’ autonomy, and sodium-based batteries

In recent months, a new class of agents has arrived on the scene: ones built using large language models. Any action that can be captured by text—from playing a video game using written commands to running a social media account—is potentially within the purview of this type of system. LLM agents don’t have much of a track record yet, but to hear CEOs tell it, they will transform the economy—and soon. Despite that, like chatbot LLMs, agents can be chaotic and unpredictable.

One researcher I spoke with at the time suggested that sodium-ion batteries might not compete directly with lithium-ion batteries but could instead find specialized uses where the chemistry made sense. Two years later, I think we’re starting to see what those are. One growing segment that could be a big win for sodium-ion: electric micromobility vehicles, like scooters and three-wheelers.
