    AI Ghostwriting Is Creeping Into Science—Is That a Bad Thing?

    Which words give AI away? A new study of more than 15 million biomedical abstracts on PubMed found that at least 13.5% of scientific papers published in 2024 show signs of AI-assisted writing tools, most notably OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The study by researchers from Northwestern University and the Hertie Institute for AI in Brain Health at the University of Tübingen found a sharp rise in 2024 in word patterns associated with AI-generated writing. These included both uncommon terms—such as “delves,” “un...

    ChatGPT Sent Users to a Website for a Feature It Didn't Have—So the Founder Built It

    What do you do when your website is bombarded with uploads it can’t process? That’s the situation software developer and musician Adrian Holovaty found himself in when he noticed a strange surge in failed uploads to his company’s sheet music scanner. What he didn’t expect was that the culprit was allegedly ChatGPT.

  • What Are Coin Mixers and How Do They Work?

    Coin mixers have captured the attention of both the cryptocurrency community and regulators as the battle for privacy ramps up. In 2021, the founder of coin mixer Bitcoin Fog was arrested on charges including money laundering and operating a money transmission business without a license. A year later, the U.S. Treasury Department issued sanctions against Tornado Cash, an Ethereum coin mixing service, effectively banning Americans from using it. In a landmark ruling in November 2024, the U.S. Fif...

A viral post by U.S. Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) has sparked debate over whether a recent UFO image shows a biblical being instead of an extraterrestrial visitor. The debate began on Sunday when Luna, tweeting from her personal account, replied to a post by user Adrian Dittmann showing a biblically accurate angel. “Actual representation of angels,” Luna wrote on X. “10/10 post.” Actual representation of Angels. 10/10 post. — Anna Paulina Luna...

    A TikTok video went viral on Monday, showing a woman laughing nervously as she backs away from a humanoid robot at Japan’s Henn-na Hotel. “Don’t look at me,” she said, as the machine watched her.

    The 6 Doomsday Scenarios That Keep AI Experts Up at Night

    At some point in the future, most experts say that artificial intelligence won’t just get better, it’ll become superintelligent. That means it’ll be exponentially more intelligent than humans, as well as strategic, capable—and manipulative. What happens at that point has divided the AI community. On one side are the optimists, also known as Accelerationists, who believe that superintelligent AI can coexist peacefully and even help humanity. On the other are the so-called Doomers who believe ther...
