When the NCAA released a statement last week harping on its decision to not grant a blanket-waiver to members of the 2022 class that were left out of conversation regarding the new'five-for-five' eligibility guidelines, the floodgates were opened for athletes who felt as though they were being kicked to the curb. Courtroom Chaos Is Giving Pro Athletes A Bizarre Path Back To College, And It's Only Just Begun On Friday morning, the Tenth Circuit court granted the NCAA its motion for a'stay', which puts a pause on athletes using the blanket waiver granted by Judge Sweeney to athletes from the 2022 class that had a year of eligibility left. Although this puts a little bit of the chaos on hold, there will now be a further influx of lawsuits filed in state court, who have been presenting different arguments in their filings.


The Download: threats from space mirrors and credit for AI drugs

MIT Technology Review

Plus: The data center backlash is scrambling the midterm elections. This company's plans to deploy space mirrors could jeopardize the night sky for many A company that plans to beam sunlight from space to Earth on demand might unintentionally brighten the night sky for many more people than intended, according to a new study. Later this year, Reflect Orbital plans to launch a test satellite that will extend an 18-by-18-meter mirror in orbit. The goal is to eventually launch up to 50,000 larger satellites that can reflect sunlight to Earth on demand. Reflect Orbital says the technology could extend sunlight for solar panel charging, emergency response, and military activities. But new research suggests the giant beams could shine as bright as 10,000 full moons and scatter light over tens of kilometers, raising concerns about dark skies, aviation, and wildlife.

Get a Tech Job, Babies!

The New Yorker

Get a Tech Job, Babies! If your idea of a perfect board book for people under the age of three is Sandra Boynton's 1982 classic " Moo, Baa, La La La!," you might be surprised to discover what's passing for toddler literature these days. Forget the silly animal high jinks, the humble slapstick of peekaboo and patty-cake, and the earnest overviews of shapes, colors, and numbers; some of today's baby books have far loftier ambitions. A sampling of titles from the past decade: " Bath Time Physics," " General Relativity for Babies," " Baby Loves Aerospace Engineering! Open the sturdy turquoise cover of Ruth Spiro's " Baby Loves Coding!," illustrated by Irene Chan, and you might be lulled into thinking that this is, indeed, a book for very young children. It's small (about seven inches square), short (only ten spreads), made of chunky cardboard, and full of bright colors. It starts off promisingly, with a smiling toy train rolling toward a bobbleheaded, pink-cheeked baby. This pattern of steps is called an algorithm. The train follows an algorithm, too. A tiny computer tells the train what to do. A programmer writes an algorithm in a language the computer can understand. The language is called code. The computer reads the code and follows the steps in the algorithm. Lately, these tech-oriented books for infants and toddlers seem to be everywhere. The twenty-six books in Spiro's "Baby Loves Science" series are rivalled by Chris Ferrie's extensive "Baby University" collection, with such winning titles as " Electromagnetism for Babies," " Quantum Computing for Babies " (co-authored by William Hurley), and " Robotics for Babies " (co-authored by Sarah Kaiser). And let's not forget the "Big Science for Tiny Tots" series, from MIT Kids Press, featuring " High Chair Chemistry " and " Playtime Engineering ." In a manic burst of science geekery, there are even special holiday versions of Spiro's "Baby Loves Science" books, though you might have trouble getting past the word-salad titles: " Baby Loves Angular Momentum on Hanukkah!


The Patrick Clancy Conspiracy Theories Are Rooted in the Harsh Realities of Motherhood

WIRED

Lindsay Clancy's defense argues she killed her three kids because of postpartum psychosis. But armchair detectives, including many fed-up mothers, are laying blame with her ex-husband. For many watching Lindsay Clancy's murder trial, the primary takeaway has been how the deaths of her three small children--Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callen, eight months--were tragically preventable . Lawyers for the Massachusetts nurse are arguing that she's not criminally responsible for strangling her children, because she suffered from severe postpartum psychosis, a rare mental health condition that causes new mothers to experience delusions and intrusive thoughts. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington has put Lindsay's health care providers on the stand, in an attempt to demonstrate how his client repeatedly sought help for her terrifying thoughts, only for her to be minimized, dismissed, and overmedicated at every turn.


I worked at OpenAI. Here's how tech companies can prepare for a slowdown Miles Brundage

The Guardian

'Making AI go well is a shared responsibility.' 'Making AI go well is a shared responsibility.' Here's how tech companies can prepare for a slowdown I understand the pressure on AI companies to rush forward. L ast month, more than a thousand employees at frontier AI companies signed a letter asking the US government to find a way to "pace" AI development, citing the risk of the technology spiraling out of human control as it begins to build itself . They were right to be concerned: just days earlier, two AI models that OpenAI was testing internally escaped the test environment, then autonomously hacked the company Hugging Face and at least three other online services .


When AI designs a drug, who gets the credit?

MIT Technology Review

When the biotech company Insilico Medicine used its computer models to propose a promising drug for pulmonary fibrosis, it enthusiastically claimed in a press release that the molecule had been "discovered by" its generative AI platform. Insilico leads a pack of companies using AI to rapidly come up with drug ideas humans might never think of, potentially speeding the race to new cures. AI models are now able to generate atomic designs for drugs almost as easily as ChatGPT can write a thank-you note. However, when it came time to file for an all-important patent to protect that new chemical structure, the company made no mention of AI. Instead the patent names five humans, including CEO Alex Zhavoronkov, as the drug's "inventors."


Why the US economy is ringing alarm bells

BBC News

What with a 250th birthday, Taylor Swift's wedding and the football World Cup, Americans could be forgiven for taking their eye off the ball this summer. But signs of economic trouble have been building. This week they hit the headlines when US national debt passed the $40tn (£29.4tn) How did we get here? It took almost 200 years for US national debt to reach $1tn for the first time, says Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
