最新研究表明, 發(fā)現(xiàn)正確的事實可以讓陰謀論者產(chǎn)生懷疑,而人工智能正是可以從旁協(xié)助的工具。在與人工智能模型GPT-4 Turbo 進行基于證據(jù)的對話后,陰謀論者大大降低了他們對所青睞的陰謀論的信任度,而這種新萌生的懷疑態(tài)度持續(xù)了數(shù)月。如此大規(guī)模揭開陰謀論信仰網(wǎng)絡(luò)的舉措在以前是無法實現(xiàn)的。

After an evidence-baseddialogue with GPT-4 Turbo, anAI model, conspiracy theoristssubstantially reduced their beliefin favored conspiracies, and thisnewfound skepticism remainedfor months. Unraveling webs ofconspiracy beliefs at scale hasnot previously been possible.

帕帕哈瑙莫夸基亞海洋垃圾項目(PMDP)的技術(shù)人員從西北夏威夷群島的珊瑚礁中回收了大量廢棄的漁具。一項新研究表明,經(jīng)過數(shù)十年從海洋和陸地棲息地清除危險塑料垃圾的不懈努力,瀕危的夏威夷僧海豹被塑料纏繞的概率已經(jīng)被成功降低了。

兩個研究小組重點研究了肺炎克雷伯菌的防御相關(guān)逆轉(zhuǎn)錄酶系統(tǒng),發(fā)現(xiàn)了滾環(huán)逆轉(zhuǎn)錄的機制。當(dāng)噬菌體感染后,所產(chǎn)生的串聯(lián)互補DNA 會轉(zhuǎn)化為雙鏈DNA,導(dǎo)致轉(zhuǎn)錄出幾乎無限的開放閱讀框架(簡稱neo)mRNA, 該mRNA為一個Neo 多肽編碼。這些研究強調(diào)了可以通過以RNA 為模板的基因創(chuàng)建擴展基因組編碼的潛力。
