We've been talking about AI stealing jobs ever since ChatGPT went viral in late 2022, and that chatter has increased ever since. AI models receive amazing new abilities on a regular basis. These allow companies to automate some tasks and replace humans with AI programs in the process. But there's been a lot of sugar-coating whenever those responsible for the AI tools that would lead to this revolution in the workforce have addressed the risk. Unsurprisingly, the high-ranking execs leading the AI effort would rarely speak candidly about the problem, likely fearing the backlash. That's assuming people are worried that AI will take their jobs because some might be in denial of the possibility. All of that changed this week, as Dario Amodei gave the world the stark warning it needs before the inevitable happens. In an interview, Anthropic's CEO said that AI could steal nearly half of all entry-level white-collar jobs, leading to a massive spike in unemployment. It might happen overnight as AI products mature and prove their worth as human replacements. As for the human employees themselves, they might be caught off-guard if AI firms and the government don't do more to prepare them. Continue reading...

Cats spend longer sniffing the odor of a stranger than that of their owner, suggesting that they can identify familiar humans based on smell alone, according to a study published in the open-access journal PLOS One by Yutaro Miyairi and colleagues at Tokyo University of Agriculture, Japan.

In 2022, after U.S. troops withdrew from Afghanistan and the Taliban regained power, Afghans reported an average life satisfaction of 1.28 on a scale from 0 to 10—or from the worst possible life to the best possible life—a global, all-time low, according to a new study published in Science Advances.

New research brings together 7,000 years of history in South Arabia to show how ancient pastoralists changed placement and construction of monuments over time in the face of environmental and cultural forces.

As rising global temperatures alter ecosystems worldwide, animal species usually have two choices: adapt to changing local conditions or flee to a cooler climate. Ecologists have long assumed that the world's bird species were best equipped to respond to the pressures of climate change simply because they have the option of flying to higher altitudes or toward global poles.

A new method developed by researchers at the Nuffield Department of Medicine, University of Oxford, could soon unlock the vast repository of biological information held in the proteins of ancient soft tissues. The findings, which could open up a new era for paleobiological discovery, have been published in PLOS ONE.

Extensive industrial catalytic applications have shown that the confined nano-channels of zeolites can precisely regulate molecular diffusion and metal cluster migration, effectively enhancing catalyst activity, selectivity, and stability.

Parasitic worms that infect humans are not interbreeding with those that infect cattle as previously thought. This is good news when it comes to controlling schistosomiasis, a disease caused by these worms that affects more than 200 million people globally.

Talin is a protein that plays an important role in the immune system by activating integrins, receptors that help cells attach to one another. Now a new study by Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers shows how talin has distinct binding modes for two types of integrins that are important in blood cells. It also highlights how switching modes can enhance the integrins, potentially making them stronger.

A small team of paleontologists with members from Austria, Germany and Switzerland has found evidence suggesting that a herbivorous dinosaur from the Late Triassic may have used its large tail as a means to ward off predators. In their paper published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, the group describes how they studied the well-preserved tail of a Plateosaurus, including a comparison with modern monitor lizards and iguanas, and what they learned by doing so.
