Animals are abused and exploited in various ways for the sake of entertainment. LCA strongly opposes the use of animals in entertainment.

Quanta Magazine Staff Writer Yasemin Saplakoglu describes the various ongoing inter-disciplinary efforts to advance our scientific understanding of the Human brain. Computer scientists and computational neuroscientists collaborate as the latter borrow mathematical models from the former, and studies ways to incorporate new biological data to enhance, or supplant existing computational models.
"AI Is Nothing Like a Brain, and That's OK."

The brain’s astounding cellular diversity and networked complexity could show how to make AI better.

Beyond just predicting words, LLMs interpolate meaning between data points, as in the recent phenomenon of AI explaining fake idioms like "you can’t lick a badger twice." The danger is that made-up "truths" will fuel future models

I remember using Opera Mini, even on an iPhone. Had a lousy data plan where they would throttle it massively at some point. Opera mini was the way I could continue surfing the web without all those megabytes of cruft (even back theb) https://mstdn.social/@osnews/114598061141994857

A more interesting question, perhaps: 
why are so many people obeying these circumventions of proper lawmaking?

A wonderful description of how the technology works.

"ChatGPT generates realistic responses by making guesses about which fragments of text should follow other sequences, based on a statistical model that has ingested billions of examples of text pulled from all over the internet. In Mr. Mata’s case, the program appears to have discerned the labyrinthine framework of a written legal argument, but has populated it with names and facts from a bouillabaisse of existing cases."

Concurrent Composition for Interactive Differential Privacy with Adaptive Privacy-Loss Parameters
In this paper, we study the concurrent composition of interactive mechanisms with adaptively chosen privacy-loss parameters. In this setting, the adversary can interleave queries to existing interactive mechanisms, as well as create new ones. We prove that every valid privacy filter and odometer for noninteractive mechanisms extends to the concurrent composition of interactive mechanisms if privacy loss is measured using $(ε, δ)$-DP, $f$-DP, or Rényi DP of fixed order. Our results offer stro…
