In fact, it appears we live in a giant cosmic void with roughly 20% lower than the average density of matter.

Okay that’s a little less dramatic than I envisioned given the use of the word “void”

China is hosting the World AI conference in Shanghai this weekend, an annual event aimed at showcasing Beijing's leadership in the evolution of technology. At the opening event Saturday, the country's premier said China would be setting up a new organisation for cooperation on AI governance - again warning the risks of the technology must be considered as much as its benefits

“on the brink of passing” (the article text) is a bit of an exaggeration. The latest swiss news I can find is that the government is currently doing a consultation.

Anycase, hope this doesn’t pass seems pretty awful. But even if it does I think we’re likely to see a referendum and all that, so could take a while.

Low-quality papers based on public health data are flooding the scientific literature (www.nature.com)
 

The appearance of thousands of formulaic biomedical studies has been linked to the rise of text-generating AI tools.

Data from five large open-access health databases are being used to generate thousands of poor-quality, formulaic papers, an analysis has found. Its authors say that the surge in publications could indicate the exploitation of these databases by people using large language models(LLMs) to mass-produce scholarly articles, or even by paper mills — companies that churn out papers to order.

Scientists hide messages in papers to game AI peer review (www.nature.com)
 

Researchers have been sneaking secret messages into their papers in an effort to trick artificial intelligence (AI) tools into giving them a positive peer-review report.

The Tokyo-based news magazine Nikkei Asiareported last week on the practice, which had previously been discussed on social media. Nature has independently found 18 preprint studies containing such hidden messages, which are usually included as white text and sometimes in an extremely small font that would be invisible to a human but could be picked up as an instruction to an AI reviewer.
