GPT-5.2: Neues KI-Modell von OpenAI soll Büroarbeiten besser unterstützen
Nur einen Monat nach GPT-5.1 kommt ein neues KI-Modell der ChatGPT-Entwickler. GPT-5.2 soll bessere Tabellen, Präsentationen und Code produzieren können.

Fascinated by people on here who openly say there using ChatGPT all the time, and think it won’t have consequences like people muting or blocking them.
It’s deeply creepy, similar to being overly religious or like hawking NFTs or having an AR-15 sticker on your car.
It just screams “I’m weird and don’t know it, stay away from me.” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I tried to do a longer time lapse video by putting the same cell phone in the window, looking down at the backyard (aka the alley). The goal was to get a full twenty four hour cycle over ten seconds of video. Apparently putting the phone into energy-saver mode was not sufficient. Once it's back up to 100%, maybe I should put it into airplane mode and add a battery pack. 🤷‍♂️

Parallel Neuron Groups in the Drosophila Brain
Robert Worden
https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.10525 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.10525 https://arxiv.org/html/2512.10525
arXiv:2512.10525v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The full connectome of an adult Drosophila enables a search for novel neural structures in the insect brain. I describe a new neural structure, called a Parallel Neuron Group (PNG). Two neurons are called parallel if they share a significant number of input neurons and output neurons. Most pairs of neurons in the Drosophila brain have very small parallel match. There are about twenty larger groups of neurons for which any pair of neurons in the group has a high match. These are the parallel groups. Parallel groups contain only about 1000 out of the 65,000 neurons in the brain, and have distinctive properties. There are groups in the right mushroom bodies, the antennal lobes, the lobula, and in two central neuropils (GNG and EB). Most parallel groups do not have lateral symmetry. A group usually has one major input neuron, which inputs to all the neurons in the group, and a small number of major output neurons. The major input and output neurons are laterally asymmetric. Parallel neuron groups present puzzles, such as: what does a group do, that could not be done by one larger neuron? Do all neurons in a group fire in synchrony, or do they perform different functions? Why are they laterally asymmetric? These may merit further investigation.

Although the growth rate (%) of global CO2 emissions has gone down, the increase in absolute terms is still pretty much a straight line:
On average, we're increasing the amount of CO2 that we dump in the atmosphere by around 450 million tonnes every year. Making the climate crisis worse faster.
