Gaze into the Milky Way's black hole with NASA's 'back catalog' of X-ray data

Popular Science

The Chandra X-Ray Observatory has gathered over 1.3 million detections in 27 years. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory is considered one of the agency's greatest achievements, but it's not necessarily as recognizable as siblings like the James Webb and Hubble Space Telescopes . However, since 1999, the powerful spacecraft has peered deep into the cosmos to provide astronomers with never-before-seen glimpses of the Milky Way galaxy . As the observatory nears its 27th anniversary, NASA is highlighting its Chandra Source Catalog (CSC), an absolutely massive archive of visualization data collected over the years.


ChatGPT is now indexing Grok's AI slop

PCWorld

PCWorld reports that ChatGPT 5.2 is now indexing Grokipedia, xAI's AI-generated encyclopedia known for inaccuracies and conspiracy theories. This creates a concerning feedback loop where AI-generated misinformation spreads between major language models, potentially overwriting established knowledge. The integration poses significant risks to information integrity as biased or false content from one AI system influences another's responses. More and more of the web is filling up with LLM-generated text, images, and even videos and music . It's an even bigger problem than it seems because the "AI" systems that have scoured the web to generate their large language models are now .

The scans were conducted by Italian scientist Filippo Biondi and the Khafre Project team using synthetic aperture radar. More than 200 scans from multiple satellites, including Italy's Cosmo-SkyMed and the US-based Capella Space, showed uniform results suggesting massive pillars about 65 feet in diameter wrapped in spirals and plunging nearly 4,000 feet deep. Those pillars appear to end in 260-foot cubic chambers beneath all three pyramids and the Sphinx, which Biondi described as'huge chambers' measuring roughly 260 feet in length and width.

A.I. Was Supposed to "Revolutionize" Work. In Many Offices, It's Only Creating Chaos.

Slate

Work A.I. Was Supposed to "Revolutionize" Work. Although we've been told that A.I. is poised to "revolutionize" work, at the moment it seems to be doing something else entirely: spreading chaos. All throughout American offices, A.I. platforms like ChatGPT are delivering answers that sound right even when they aren't, transcription tools that turn meetings into works of fiction, and documents that look polished on the surface but are riddled with factual errors and missing nuance. If you've read anything about A.I., you know that it sometimes "hallucinates" facts that simply aren't true, yet asserts them with so much confidence that its lies don't get caught. Clearly, there's more work to do on this emerging technology, but in the meantime, it's ravaging some workplaces.
