An international team of scientists has successfully measured a planet-wide electric field thought to be as fundamental to Earth as its gravity and magnetic fields. Known as the ambipolar electric field, scientists first hypothesized over 60 years ago that it drove atmospheric escape above Earth’s North and South Poles. Measurements from a suborbital rocket have confirmed the existence of the ambipolar field and quantified its strength, revealing its role in driving atmospheric escape and shaping our ionosphere — a layer of the upper atmosphere — more broadly. The paper was published today in the journal Nature.
Using observations from a NASA suborbital rocket, an international team of scientists has, for the first time, successfully measured a planet-wide electric field thought to be as fundamental to Earth as its gravity and magnetic fields. Known as the ambipolar electric field, scientists first hypothesized over 60 years ago that it drove how our planet’s atmosphere can escape above Earth’s North and South Poles. Measurements from the rocket, NASA’s Endurance mission, have confirmed the existence of the ambipolar field and quantified its strength, revealing its role in driving atmospheric escape and shaping our ionosphere — a layer of the upper atmosphere — more broadly.

Nearly a year after AI-generated nude images of high school girls upended a community in southern Spain, a juvenile court this summer sentenced 15 of their classmates to a year of probation.
But the artificial intelligence tool used to create the harmful deepfakes is still easily accessible on the internet, promising to “undress any photo” uploaded to the website within seconds.

Education Minister Blair Boyer says it is essential that students learn to use AI safely before they graduate. The trial is set to run for two months, after which a decision about a broader rollout will be made.
Eight public high schools in South Australia are set to become the first in the country to trial an artificial intelligence (AI) app. The SA government is looking to help students develop skills to protect themselves online as AI becomes more prevalent. The app will show students how AI can support their studies while also protecting them from information that could put them at risk. Read the full article at: www.abc.net.au

The founder of chatbot company Replika on the bold, weird future of human-AI relationships.
Today, I’m talking with Replika founder and CEO Eugenia Kuyda, and I will just tell you right from the jump, we get all the way to people marrying their AI companions, so get ready. Replika’s basic pitch is pretty simple: what if you had an AI friend? The company offers avatars you can curate to your liking that basically pretend to be human, so they can be your friend, your therapist, or even your date. You can interact with these avatars through a familiar chatbot interface, as well as make video calls with them and even see them in virtual and augmented reality.

NASA sends 4K video from a flying plane to the ISS using lasers
900 Mbps from Earth to orbit, and I still can't get reliable Wi-Fi in my backyard
Jealous of the fact that the International Space Station has better internet than you do? Well, here's one more benchmark to envy: NASA has successfully streamed 4K video from an in-flight aircraft to the ISS and back again.

From the advent of the player piano until modern-day streaming, new technologies have regularly disrupted and transformed the music industry.
From the advent of the player piano until modern-day streaming, new technologies have regularly disrupted and transformed the music industry. Now, AI has the potential to transform once again how music is made and consumed. Many observers are watching the industry’s response and questioning whether we see a redux of the Napster saga from the late 1990s and early 2000s. I believe the industry's (and our society’s) reaction to AI is markedly different from the Napster years, as we all learn some lessons from the past. Read the full article at: www.forbes.com

ChatGPT has become almost asynchronous with generative AI, with most people that use AI tools now referring to ChatGPT as their key entryway.
Of course, other tools are emerging, with Google adding generative AI elements into Search, and Meta bolting AI chatbots onto everything. But when we’re talking AI, it’s ChatGPT that’s the most universally understood tool, making it a key benchmark for broader AI adoption.
So which countries are using ChatGPT the most? Read the full article at: www.socialmediatoday.com

This post is part of Lifehacker’s “Exposing AI” series. We’re exploring six different types of AI-generated media, and highlighting the common quirks, byproducts, and hallmarks that help you tell the difference between artificial and human-created content.
AI art isn't just a concept anymore: It's everywhere, and you've likely encountered it in the wild, whether you knew it or not. AI art has won awards (albeit amid controversy), been used in Netflix films (again, facing criticism) and has tricked untold numbers of Facebook users with false images of babies, Jesus, and vegetables. It's not going anywhere anytime soon. Read the full article at: lifehacker.com

Text generators like ChatGPT have dominated my conversations with educators about AI in the past year. Despite their emergence a year before chatbots, text-to-image generators like DALL-E or Midjourney typically come up only in generic conversations about plagiarism or bias.

Data visualization is not a recent innovation. Even in the eighteenth century, activists and economists, as well as educators and politicians, were fully aware of the power of visualization to produce new knowledge.
But who, more precisely, was wielding this power? On whose behalf? And for whose benefit? The answers to these questions are what this project explores. Read the full article at: dataxdesign.io

I've tested countless Linux distributions over the years. Here's my essential list of the top post-install steps to take before you dive in too deep.
So, you've finally installed Linux, and you're ready to make it your go-to operating system (or at least explore it to find out if it's a worthy replacement). You might find the OS pretty easy to use out of the gate. Depending on the desktop environment you've chosen (such as GNOME, Plasma, Budgie, Pantheon, Cinnamon, etc.), it probably has all the bits and pieces you're used to.

James Cook University researchers investigating men's empathy towards animals have found higher levels in men who own pets versus farmers and non-pet owners. The study is published in Animal Welfare.
Dr. Jessica Oliva is a senior lecturer in psychology at JCU. She said it was well established that women felt more animal empathy (AE) than men.

Microbiome research is now demonstrating a growing number of bacterial strains and genes that affect our health1. Although CRISPR-derived tools have shown great success in editing disease-driving genes in human cells2, we currently lack the tools to achieve comparable success for bacterial targets in situ. Here we engineer a phage-derived particle to deliver a base editor and modify Escherichia coli colonizing the mouse gut. Editing of a β-lactamase gene in a model E. coli strain resulted in a median editing efficiency of 93% of the target bacterial population with a single dose. Edited bacteria were stably maintained in the mouse gut for at least 42 days following treatment. This was achieved using a non-replicative DNA vector, preventing maintenance and dissemination of the payload. We then leveraged this approach to edit several genes of therapeutic relevance in E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae strains in vitro and demonstrate in situ editing of a gene involved in the production of curli in a pathogenic E. coli strain. Our work demonstrates the feasibility of modifying bacteria directly in the gut, offering a new avenue to investigate the function of bacterial genes and opening the door to the design of new microbiome-targeted therapies. Edited bacteria were stably maintained in mouse gut for at least 42 days following the delivery of a base editor using an engineered phage-derived particle to modify Escherichia coli colonizing the gut.

Disabled people are experts in using – and designing – assistive technologies. They have lessons to offer everyone about keeping control when help is offered.
You might have heard that artificial intelligence is going to revolutionize everything, save the world and give everyone superhuman powers. Alternatively, you might have heard that it will take your job, make you lazy and stupid, and make the world a cyberpunk dystopia. Consider another way to look at AI: as an assistive technology – something that helps you function. Read the full article at: theconversation.com
