gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-11-28 18:05:57

Social platforms like Facebook and X exacerbate the problem of political and social polarization, but they don’t create it. A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands put AI chatbots in a simple social media structure to see how they interacted with each other and found that, even without the invisible hand of the algorithm, they tend to organize themselves based on their pre-assigned affiliations and self-sort into echo chambers.

A Bunch of Incredibly Sleazy AI Apps Are Claiming to Be Jesus Christ Himself

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-29 11:48:04

As ChatGPT really started to take off back in 2023, an Austin pastor made minor headlines when he used the large language model (LLM) chatbot to lead a 15-minute "shotgun sermon." The stunt was largely meant to spark a conversation about how we define "what is sacred," the pastor said at the time. Since that lesson in theological ethics, chatbots have become ubiquitous — and they no longer come with lectures.

Because these brain areas are difficult to study — due not only to their location, but also to their composition, with many different cell types and crisscrossed circuitry — it’s only in the last decade or so that neuroscientists have begun to understand how thirst fundamentally works. The body, researchers have found, is filled with sensors that feed clues to the brain about how much water or salt an organism needs to consume.
