AIs trained on AI-generated images produce glitches and blurs
Using AI-generated images to train AI quickly creates a loop where the results get worse in either quality or visual diversity.

Terminator’ Director James Cameron On The Rise Of AI: I Warned You Guys In 1984 & You Didn’t Listen
James Cameron is weighing in on AI as computer programming continues to mature and become more sophisticated. The director of The Terminator made a call back to the film he also co-wrote and that Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in.
“I warned you guys in 1984, and you didn’t listen,” he told CTV News about AI.
A Cracked Piece of Metal Healed Itself in an Experiment That Stunned Scientists
File this under ‘That’s not supposed to happen!’: Scientists observed a metal healing itself, something never seen before. If this process can be fully understood and controlled, we could be at the start of a whole new era of engineering.
A team from Sandia National Laboratories and Texas A&M University was testing the resilience of the metal, using a specialized transmission electron microscope technique to pull the ends of the metal 200 times every second. They then observed the self-healing at ultra-small scales in a 40-nanometer-thick piece of platinum suspended in a vacuum.
Cracks caused by the kind of strain described above are known as fatigue damage: repeated stress and motion that causes microscopic breaks, eventually causing machines or structures to break. Amazingly, after about 40 minutes of observation, the crack in the platinum started to fuse back together and mend itself before starting again in a different direction.
Happy people live longer because they are healthy people
Discussion: Much of the association between happiness and increased life expectancy could be explained by socio-demographic, lifestyle, health and functioning factors, and especially psychological health and functioning factors.
