➀ Researchers have discovered microplastics in human brain samples, with recent samples showing a 50% increase compared to older ones.
➁ Inhalation is a key factor in how microplastics can enter the brain, traveling through the nose to the olfactory bulb.
➂ Dementia patients were found to have 3 to 5 times more microplastics in the brain than those without dementia.
➀ OpenAI has released a new AI-powered tool called Deep Research on February 2nd, which can generate comprehensive reports within 30 minutes.
➁ Deep Research is available to ChatGPT Pro users and is designed for complex inquiries in fields such as finance, science, policy, and engineering.
➂ The tool emphasizes precision and reliability, and aims to limit the hallucinations common in conventional language models.
➀ Researchers from Google DeepMind and the London School of Economics and Political Science conducted tests on large language models (LLMs) to evaluate if they could experience pain or pleasure.
➁ The tests were inspired by experiments involving electrocuting hermit crabs to observe their behavior.
➂ The results showed that some AI models, like Google's Gemini 1.5 Pro, avoided pain and sought pleasure, but this does not necessarily indicate sentience.
