Virtual cells Digital twins of biological cells—often referred to as virtual cells or whole-cell models (WCMs)–aim to recreate every relevant molecular process of a living cell in silico. This interdisciplinary endeavor marries systems biology, computational modeling, high-performance computing, and, increasingly, AI. All models are wrong, but some are alive.

How a 30-year-old techno-thriller predicted our digital isolation

technologyreview.com Tom Humberstone 2026-03-10 22:00:00

How much will you trust an AI chatbot powered by Meta to be your friend? Answers to this may vary. Even if you won’t, other people are already making close connections with “AI companions” or “falling in love” with ChatGPT. The rise of “cognitive offloading”—of people asking AI to do their critical thinking for them—is already well underway, with many high school and college students admitting to a deep reliance on the technology. Beyond the obvious concern that AI “friends” are hallucinating,

You can now create custom GPTs with any OpenAI model, but there’s a catch

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-10 23:39:15

If you’ve been experimenting with custom GPTs inside ChatGPT, here’s a welcome upgrade: OpenAI now lets users pick from all available models when building or running a custom GPT, not just GPT-4o. Here’s how it works (and what’s missing). What are custom GPTs again? If you have no idea what this is, you’re not alone. OpenAI launched custom GPTs in late 2023, but the feature hasn’t exactly taken off the way the company probably hoped. Here’s how OpenAI describes them: “…custom versions of Chat

He '70s Performance Artist Who Became a Hero to 'Garbage Men'

The New York City Sanitation Department in the late 1970s was not an obvious place to find a warm welcome for feminist conceptual art. But the newly appointed sanitation commissioner, Norman Steisel, had arrived as an outlier in the world of municipal waste. Before he began his career in city government, first working in budget offices, he had been a graduate student in chemical engineering and applied mathematics at Yale, where he fell in with a crowd of M.F.A. students.

But the original $300 Switch’s handheld/console design, with its detachable Joy-Con controllers, proved to be a major hit with gamers of all ages.

In recent years, numerous plaintiffs—including publishers of books, newspapers, computer code, and photographs—have sued AI companies for training models using copyrighted material. A key question in all of these lawsuits has been how easily AI models produce verbatim excerpts from the plaintiffs’ copyrighted content.

Composers and orchestras like to use their lowest instruments sparingly, for maximum impact. Few instruments go lower and are used more sparingly than the huge and strange octobass, one of the rarest classic instruments in existence. Invented in 1850 by Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, the octobass was intended to bring an extremely deep rumble to the orchestra sound. The three-stringed instrument stands between 11 and 12 feet tall, about twice the height of a double bass. This giant bass produces soun

News broke today of a "mother of all breaches," sparking wide media coverage filled with warnings and fear-mongering. However, it appears to be a compilation of previously leaked credentials stolen by infostealers, exposed in data breaches, and via credential stuffing attacks. To be clear, this is not a new data breach, or a breach at all, and the websites involved were not recently compromised to steal these credentials.
