The most realistic picture yet of how galaxies formed and then evolved from the beginning of time has been revealed in a suite of new and unique audiovisual simulations. These data, accepted for publication in […]
Many people are interacting with AI large language models, and most of them would say the models have different “personalities.” Some models come across as calm and useful. Others feel eager, flattering or strangely cold. […]
Psychologists have long known that social situations profoundly influence human behavior, yet have lacked a unified, empirically grounded way to describe them. A new study addresses this problem by using generative AI to systematically classify […]
