GOP uses AI-generated video in anti-Schumer ad
Senate Republican campaign leaders are using artificial intelligence-generated video to falsely depict Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer appearing to say on camera comments he made in a print publication interview about the political impacts of the partial government shutdown. The 30-second digital ad from the National Republican Senate Committee features the Democratic New York senator appearing to say on camera about the shutdown, now in its 3rd week, “Every day gets better for us.” …

More than 50 Amazon employees seeking to unionize
walked off the job early Tuesday morning at a Riverside delivery facility, according to the Teamsters.
The overnight walkout marked what union leaders say is the beginning of a new organizing drive for Amazon workers in the Inland Empire,
under which workers are demanding better working conditions and pay for the value they bring to the e-commerce giant.
Workers at the Krameria Avenue facility in Riverside, dubbed DJT6 …

Quantum vs Classical Thermal Transport at Low Temperatures
This work aims to understand how quantum mechanics affects heat transport at low temperatures. In the classical setting, by considering a simple paradigmatic model, our simulations reveal the emergence of Negative Differential Thermal Resistance (NDTR): paradoxically, increasing the temperature bias by lowering the cold bath temperature reduces the steady-state heat current. In sharp contrast, the quantum version of the model, treated via a Lindblad master equation, exhibits no NDTR: the heat c…

PhenoGnet: A Graph-Based Contrastive Learning Framework for Disease Similarity Prediction
Understanding disease similarity is critical for advancing diagnostics, drug discovery, and personalized treatment strategies. We present PhenoGnet, a novel graph-based contrastive learning framework designed to predict disease similarity by integrating gene functional interaction networks with the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO). PhenoGnet comprises two key components: an intra-view model that separately encodes gene and phenotype graphs using Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) and Graph Atten…
