Issue #003 | A Machine Plague, Talking to Whales Again, and Searching for a Better Search

Machine Plague from AI usage, DolphinGemma to understand whales, and a search engine that challenges the status quo.

This week, we bring attention to the potential Machine Plague with the adoption of AI use in academia, a novel audio-in, audio-out model that processes dolphin whistles, and a search engine that's reshaping how we interact with and consume information.

The Machine Plague
Artificial intelligence may be subtly polluting scientific discourse and impacting peer review processes.
Talking to Whales II
DolphinGemma is an audio-in, audio-out model that processes natural dolphin sound sequences to identify patterns and predict subsequent sounds.
The Search for Better Search
Traditional search engines have long been our go-to tools for navigating this sea of information. While they’ve served us well, they often fall short when it comes to providing concise, contextual answers to complex queries.
