Will the Humanities Survive Artificial Intelligence?

The humanities are facing a significant threat from the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, which is transforming the way we access and process information, and may ultimately change the way universities approach teaching and research. As AI systems become increasingly powerful and capable of providing high-quality analysis and information, they may render traditional humanities education obsolete, forcing universities to reevaluate their approach to the liberal arts and find new ways to incorporate AI into their curriculum.

Mike Lindell's lawyers used AI to write brief–judge finds nearly 30 mistakes

Lawyers for MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell used artificial intelligence to write a brief in a defamation case, which was found to contain nearly 30 mistakes, including misquotes and citations to fictional cases. A federal judge has ordered the lawyers to explain why they should not be sanctioned or referred to disciplinary proceedings for their use of AI and the resulting errors in the brief.

AI Executives Promise Cancer Cures. Here's the Reality

While AI companies like Google and OpenAI claim that their technology can help cure diseases, the reality is that its applications are less dramatic and will likely contribute to scientific discovery in more incremental ways. Generative AI can be a useful tool for scientists, helping with tasks such as summarizing literature and generating hypotheses, but it is not a replacement for human scientists and will require careful evaluation and verification to ensure its outputs are accurate and reliable.

How to Share AI's Future Wealth

As AI advances and potentially concentrates wealth among a few, many propose universal basic income (UBI) as a solution to mitigate AI-driven job loss and inequality. However, this approach may be insufficient, as it only addresses symptoms and may be difficult to implement effectively, especially if those controlling the AI economy become too powerful to be taxed or regulated. Instead, "predistribution" - enabling equal access to income-generating resources and preventing inequality from the start - may be a more effective and just approach, by empowering individuals and spreading economic and political power more widely.

Empowering AI to Generate Better AI Code: Generation of DL Projects with LLMs

Large language models struggle to generate entire deep learning projects due to their complexity and reliance on domain knowledge, often lacking coherent guidance and expertise. The proposed DLCodeGen method addresses this by predicting a structured solution plan, retrieving analogous code samples, and abstracting a code template, resulting in improved code generation performance with significant gains over baseline methods.

Nofl: A Precise Immix

The Immix collector has limitations in terms of memory reclamation, but a new design called Nofl layout allows for more precise reclamation of free space between objects. The Nofl-based collector outperforms standard copying and mark-sweep collectors in microbenchmarks, especially for smaller to moderately sized heaps.

Creation of a black hole bomb instability in an electromagnetic system

A rotating metallic cylinder can amplify and generate electromagnetic radiation, and when paired with a low-loss resonator, it becomes unstable and acts as a generator, producing an exponential runaway amplification of electromagnetic modes. This experiment demonstrates the electromagnetic analogue of the "black hole bomb" and supports theoretical investigations into black hole instabilities, with potential applications for observing quantum friction and the Zeldovich effect.

Base64 encoding and decoding at almost the speed of a memory copy (2019)

Standard base64 encoding uses 64 ASCII characters to represent images or executable code in text-only document formats, and researchers have developed a method to encode and decode base64 data at high speeds using the AVX-512 SIMD instruction set. This implementation generates fewer instructions than previous methods and can be adapted to any base64 variant, making it a more efficient and versatile solution for encoding and decoding base64 data.
