AI can generate a feeling of intimacy that exceeds human connections
People can develop emotional closeness to artificial intelligence (AI)—under certain conditions, even more so than to other people. This is shown by a new study conducted by a research team led by Prof. Dr. Markus Heinrichs and Dr. Tobias Kleinert from the Department of Psychology at the University of Freiburg and Prof. Dr. Bastian Schiller from Heidelberg University's Institute of Psychology. Participants felt a sense of closeness especially when they did not know that they were communicatin…

The Federal Court of Appeal delivered two major environmental victories last month. The court found former Fisheries and Oceans Minister Joyce Murray was “procedurally fair and reasonable” when she did not renew licences for open-net salmon pens in the Discovery Islands in 2023. The same court found that the federal government acted well within its purview when it listed plastic manufactured items as “toxic” under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act in 2021.

Huuuh, jeg kommer lige fra biografen hvor vi har set en særforevisning af den franske film “13 dage, 13 nætter” som handler om Kabuls fald i 2021, og hvordan den franske ambassade fik evakueret over tusind mennesker i en vanvittigt anspændt situation. Den er gribende og meget anbefalelsesværdig!

Studie Arzneimittelhersteller: "Der Studie zufolge gab es einen Sprung beim Krankenstand von 2021 auf 2022, der maßgeblich auf Atemwegserkrankungen wie Grippe, RSV und Covid-Infektionen zurückgehe. Seitdem habe sich der Krankenstand zwar etwas verringert, bleibt aber erhöht."
(Die Arzneimittelhersteller plädieren für mehr Impfungen, ich plädiere zusätzlich für Luftfilter und Maskennormalisierung.)

Do(n't) look down...

#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography

View of the upper section of Oytal and surrounding majestic mountains, as seen from a narrow hiking path near the ridge, a 1000 meters above the valley. Super steep grassy cliffs and slopes (in autumn colors) dropping down directly next to the path. Another small path winding up in the valley to the cirque in the distance. Some of these mountains there already dusted with snow.
