Cephalopods Have Passed a Cognitive Test Designed For Human Children

Posted by in categories: food, neuroscience

Back in 2021, a test of cephalopod smarts reinforced how important it is for us humans to not underestimate animal intelligence.

Cuttlefish were given a new version of the marshmallow test, and the results may demonstrate that there’s more going on in their strange little brains than we knew.

Their ability to learn and adapt, the researchers said, could have evolved to give cuttlefish an edge in the cutthroat eat-or-be-eaten marine world they live in.

Scientists Just Recreated The Chemical Reaction That May Have Led to Life on Earth

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry

How did life begin? How did chemical reactions on the early Earth create complex, self-replicating structures that developed into living things as we know them?

According to one school of thought, before the current era of DNA-based life, there was a kind of molecule called RNA (or ribonucleic acid). RNA – which is still a crucial component of life today – can replicate itself and catalyse other chemical reactions.

But RNA molecules themselves are made from smaller components called ribonucleotides. How would these building blocks have formed on the early Earth, and then combined into RNA?

YouTube will soon make users add a disclaimer when they post artificial intelligence-generated or manipulated videos.

In a company blog post, the video giant outlined its forthcoming rule change that will not only require a warning label, but will display disclaimers larger for certain types of “sensitive” content such as elections and public health crises.

As Bloomberg reports, this change at the Alphabet-owned company comes after a September announcement that election ads across the firm’s portfolio will require “prominent” disclosures if manipulated or generated by AI — a rule that’s slated to begin mid-November, the outlet previously reported.
