Artificial intelligence models overly affirm and validate users, even when users propose harmful or illegal actions, a new Science study finds.

The resulting effect on users is notable: Receiving advice from affirming AI made people more self-centered and less able to see the perspectives of others. Yet people prefer the overly affirming AI, which may further promote this behavior in AI models.

Just defended my Master’s thesis and officially completed my MSc in Marine Microbiology at the Max Planck Institute! Grateful for the journey, the people, and the science. Onward!

El programa de “control” de la Gusanera del Roble, un insecto nativo, por parte de @conaf_minagri @iniachile porque “afecta la economía de los propietarios de estos terrenos” representa un profundo desconocimiento de nuestros ecosistemas. Tremenda irresponsabilidad. #conaf

Tardigrades are small invertebrates renowned for their resistance to harsh environmental conditions, including ionizing radiation that would kill many organisms.

By studying a newly identified species of tardigrade, researchers in Science have gleaned valuable insights into the animal’s ability to withstand radiation. https://t.co/KE6FbkAjRd

Chile esta cansado de estos debates. Se interrumpen constantemente y ambos sectores intentan sacar provecho político. Un mínimo civilizatorio de escucharse, discutir ideas y propuestas es mas necesario que nunca. La democracia es fragil, debemos cuidarla. #Enacional

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in chemistry Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have successfully utilised artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins.

In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, they have been able to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have identified. Since their breakthrough, AlphaFold2 has been used by more than two million people from 190 countries. Among a myriad of scientific applications, researchers can now better understand antibiotic resistance and create images of enzymes that can decompose plastic.

@MicrobiomDigest I am so sorry this happened! This might be just too optimistic, but good news is that I think in my generation that cycle is over. Feminism helped to break this pattern in young scientist. :)
