AI can ‘lie and BS’ like its maker, but still not intelligent like humans

A researcher contends that the understanding of AI is muddled by linguistics: That while indeed intelligent, AI cannot be intelligent in the way that humans are, even though ‘it can lie and BS like its maker.’ ​A researcher contends that the understanding of AI is muddled by linguistics: That while indeed intelligent, AI cannot be …

Three-pronged approach discerns qualities of quantum spin liquids

In 1973, physicist Phil Anderson hypothesized that the quantum spin liquid, or QSL, state existed on some triangular lattices, but he lacked the tools to delve deeper. Fifty years later, a team has confirmed the presence of QSL behavior in a new material with this structure, KYbSe2.   ​In 1973, physicist Phil Anderson hypothesized that …
