WWW.404MEDIA.COIs ChatGPT Rotting Our Brains? New Study Suggests It DoesWelcome back to the Abstract!This week, were moving in next to anacondas, so watch your back and lock the henhouse. Then, parenthood tips from wild baboons, the cognitive debt of ChatGPT, a spaceflight symphony, and a bizarre galaxy that is finally coming into view.When your neighbor is an anacondaCosendey, Beatriz Nunes and Pezzuti, Juarez Carlos Brito. 'The myth of the serpent: from the Great Snake to the henhouse. Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science.Anacondas are one of the most spectacular animals in South America, inspiring countless myths and legends. But these iconic boas, which can grow to lengths of 30 feet, are also a pest to local populations in the Amazon basin, where they prey on livestock.To better understand these nuanced perceptions of anacondas, researchers interviewed more than 200 residents of communities in the vrzea regions of the lower Amazon River about their experiences with the animals. The resulting study is packed with amazing stories and insights about the snakes, which are widely reviled as thieves and feared for their predatory prowess.Fear of the anaconda (identified in 44.5% of the reports) is related to the belief that it is a treacherous and sly animal, said co-authors led by Beatriz Nunes Cosendey of the Mamirau Sustainable Development Reserve and Juarez Carlos Brito Pezzuti of the Federal University of Par.The interviewees convey that the anaconda is a silent creature that arrives without making any noise, causing them to feel uneasy and always vigilant during fishingwith the fear of having their canoe flooded in case of an attack, the team added. Some dwellers even reported being more afraid of an anaconda than of a crocodile because the latter warns when it is about to attack.One of the Amazonian riverine communities where the research was conducted. Image: Beatriz Cosendey.But while anacondas are eerily stealthy, they also have their derpy moments. The snakes often break into chicken coops to feast on the poultry, but then get trapped because their engorged bodies are too big to escape through the same gaps they used to enter.Dwellers expressed frustration at having to invest time and money in raising chickens, and then lose part of their flock overnight, the team said. One interviewee even mentioned retrieving a chicken from inside an anacondas belly, as it had just been swallowed and was still fresh.Overall, the new study presents a captivating portrait of anaconda-human relations, and concludes that the anaconda has lost its traditional role in folklore as a spiritual and mythological entity, now being perceived in a pragmatic way, primarily as an obstacle to free-range poultry farming.Monkeying around with DadJansen, David et al. Early-life paternal relationships predict adult female survival in wild baboons. Proceedings of the Royal Society B.Coming off of Fathers Day, here is a story about the positive role that dads can play for their daughtersfor baboons, as well as humans. A team tracked the lifespans of 216 wild female baboons in Amboseli, Kenya, and found that subjects who received more paternal care had significantly better outcomes than their peers.Male baboon with infant in the Amboseli ecosystem, Kenya. Image: Elizabeth Archie, professor at Notre Dame.We found that juvenile female baboons who had stronger paternal relationships, or who resided longer with their fathers, led adult lives that were 24 years longer than females with weak or short paternal relationships, said researchers led by David Jansen of the Midwest Center of Excellence for Vector-Borne Disease. Because survival predicts female fitness, fathers and their daughters may experience selection to engage socially and stay close in daughters early lives.This all reminds me of that old episode of The Simpsons where Lisa calls Homer a baboon. While Homer was clearly hurt, it turns out that baboons might not be the worst animal-based insult for a daughter to throw at her dad.A case for staying ChatGPT-FreeNataliya, Kosmyna et al. Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task. arXiv preprint.ChatGPT may hinder creativity and learning skills in students who use it to write essays, relative to those who didnt, according to an exhaustive new preprint study posted on arXiv. This research has yet not been peer-reviewed, and has a relatively small sample size of 54 subjects, but it still contributes to rising concerns about the cognitive toll of AI assistants.Researchers led by Nataliya Kosmya of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology divided the subjects all between 18 and 39 years old into three groups wrote SAT essays using OpenAIs ChatGPT (LLM group), Googles search engine, or with no assistance (dubbed Brain-only).As demonstrated over the course of 4 months, the LLM group's participants performed worse than their counterparts in the Brain-only group at all levels: neural, linguistic, scoring, the team said. The LLM group also fell behind in their ability to quote from the essays they wrote just minutes prior.When I asked ChatGPT for its thoughts on the study, it commented that these results are both interesting and plausible, though they should be interpreted cautiously given the early stage of the research and its limitations. It later suggested that cognitive offloading is not always bad.This study is a bopBerthet, Maximilien et al. History of the space industry in Asia: A concert in three movements. Acta Astronautica.Even scientists cant resist evocative language now and thenwere all only human. Case in point: A new study likens the history of Asias space industry to a musical concert and then really runs with the metaphor.The region comprises a diverse patchwork of nations, each contributing different instruments to the regional space development orchestra, said researchers led by Maximilien Berthet of the University of Tokyo. Its history consists of three successive movements starting with the US and former USSR setting the tone for the global space exploration symphony and culminating with modern Asian spaceflight as a fast crescendo in multiple areas of the region driven in part by private initiative.Talk about a space opera. The rest of the study provides a comprehensive review of Asian space history, but I cannot wait for the musical adaptation.Peekaboo! I galax-see youKniazev, Alexei and Pustilnik, Simon. The Peekaboo galaxy: New SALT spectroscopy and implications of archive HST data. Astronomy & Astrophysics.In 2001, astronomer Brbel Koribalski spotted a tiny galaxy peeking out from behind a bright foreground star that had obscured it for decades, earning it the nickname the Peekaboo Galaxy. Situated about 22 million light-years from the Milky Way, this strange galaxy is extremely young and metal-poor, resembling the universes earliest galaxies.The Peekaboo galaxy to the right of the star TYC 7215-199-1. Image: NASA, ESA, Igor Karachentsev (SAO RAS); Image Processing: Alyssa Pagan (STScI)A new study confirms Peekaboo as the lowest-metallicity dwarf in the Local Volume, a group of roughly 500 galaxies within 36 million light-years of Earth.This makes the Peekaboo dwarf one of the most intriguing galaxies in the Local Volume, said co-authors Alexei Kniazev of the South African Astronomical Observatory and Simon Pustilnik of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of the Sciences. It deserves intensive, multi-method study and is expected to significantly advance our understanding of the early universes first building blocks.Thanks for reading!

WWW.LGBTQNATION.COMHe killed & dismembered a trans womans body. He was just convicted of murder.Five years to the week after their daughters grisly death, a trans womans family in Philadelphia has finally received justice with the conviction of Akhenaton Jones for her murder.Dominique Remmie Fells dismembered body parts were found floating in the Schuylkill River in southwest Philadelphia by a passerby in June 2020. Related Anti-trans murderer makes history as first convicted under federal hate crime law His girlfriend called him an anti-gay slur when she discovered his relationship with a trans woman. That upset him She had stab wounds, facial and cranial trauma, and both legs were severed at the thigh. Those injuries led police to initially suspect she might have been run over by a train. Never Miss a Beat Subscribe to our newsletter to stay ahead of the latest LGBTQ+ political news and insights. Subscribe to our Newsletter today Instead, it was what Assistant District Attorney Toczylowski called one of the most savage and personal and hateful crimes she has ever seen.Jones was charged in the death of Fells after a six-month search found him in Los Angeles.Authorities hadissued a warrant for Joneson charges of murder, possession of an instrument of crime, tampering with evidence, and abuse of a corpse. He was considered armed and dangerous and listed as one of Philadelphias most wanted fugitives.Two witnesses at the scene of the murder in a Philadelphia apartment told investigators they saw Fells and Jones enter a bedroom before briefly leaving the property.When they returned, they found Fells lifeless body on the bed and the room covered in blood.Police discovered a knife, an electric saw, and a hazmat suit all sharing Fells blood and Akhenatons DNA, prosecutors said at trial.Akhenaton did not share a motive for killing Fells. He did try to pin it on one of the witnesses, but admitted to dismembering the victim.Weeks after her death, at the height of Black Lives Matter protests, Fells parents joined hundreds of protesters marching through West Philadelphia in memory of their daughter, as well as Breonna Taylor and other Black and transgender victims of violence. Fells aunt, Germyce Williams,said at the time that the family was hopeful justice would be served.Our goal in all of this, if any good can come from this, is that were going to keep Dominiques memory alive, Williams said. Were going to just make the general public more aware of trans issues. Trans are people, too. And when we say Black lives matter, all Black lives matter, that includes trans people.More than 460,000 people signed a Change.org petition demanding that Fells slaying be solved.On Monday, her family members spoke at a press conference to announce Jones conviction, Fox News 29 reports.The verdict last Monday brought justice for our daughter, Dominique Remmie, but it doesnt take away the pain of losing her, her mother said. After Jones arrest five years ago, Fells sister, Dior Edmonds, posted to Twitter, now X: How does this feel like the best and worst day of my life at the same time?Along with a photo of Jones, Edmonds wrote, Im posting this fools face up once again because karma has come back full circle.
