My university just released the final report of its AI Task Force. I haven't read it yet (though I will!), but based solely on the task force membership, which didn't include a single humanist, I'm not expecting to like it.
Maybe I'm being unfair?

Towards Verifiability of Total Value Locked (TVL) in Decentralized Finance
Total Value Locked (TVL) aims to measure the aggregate value of cryptoassets deposited in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols. Although blockchain data is public, the way TVL is computed is not well understood. In practice, its calculation on major TVL aggregators relies on self-reports from community members and lacks standardization, making it difficult to verify published figures independently. We thus conduct a systematic study on 939 DeFi projects deployed in Ethereum. We study the meth…

MeerKAT HI observations of Low Surface Brightness/Ultradiffuse Galaxy Candidates Projected around Two Southern Loose Groups
A large catalogue of low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) from the Dark Energy Survey showed significant clustering around nearby galaxy groups and clusters. Using the HIPASS survey, we tried to determine the redshift of a sub-sample of these LSBGs and determine whether they were members of the groups they were projected near, but this was hampered by HIPASS's high spectral rms. This letter reports on MeerKAT H I observations to determine the redshifts of 52 LSBG candidates projected in the …

Two Minnesota state lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes early Saturday

Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman was shot in her Brooklyn Park home,
while fellow party member Sen. John Hoffman was targeted roughly 8 miles away in Champlin.
A manhunt is on for the suspect, who was wearing black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants.
