As millions turn to ChatGPT and other AI chatbots for therapy-style advice, new research from Brown University raises a serious red flag: even when instructed to act like trained therapists, these systems routinely break core ethical standards of mental health care. In side-by-side evaluations with peer counselors and licensed psychologists, researchers uncovered 15 distinct ethical risks — from mishandling crisis situations and reinforcing harmful beliefs to showing biased responses and offering “deceptive

Telegram сейчас в странной позиции.С одной стороны — ограничения, нестабильный доступ, часть аудитории уходит. С другой — это всё ещё одна из немногих платформ, где можно получить живой трафик без вложений и довольно быстро проверить идеи.Я в какой-то момент начал тестировать это на практике — без бюджета, просто пытаясь понять, откуда вообще берутся подписчики.И довольно быстро стало понятно: никакого “одного способа” нет.Зато есть система, которая в итоге начинает работать.

Ранее я уже рассказывал о Skaro. С тех пор проект заметно изменился: вторая версия получилась не косметическим обновлением, а довольно глубокой переработкой самой модели работы.Поэтому сейчас хочется не просто показать список новых функций, а нормально объяснить, что такое Skaro, для чего он нужен, почему я вообще продолжаю его развивать и куда хочу вести дальше.

"Rust's rise shows signs of slowing," argues the CEO of TIOBE. Back in 2020 Rust first entered the top 20 of his "TIOBE Index," which ranks programming language popularity using search engine results. Rust "was widely expected to break into the top 10," he remembers today. But it never happened, and "That was nearly six years ago...." Since then, Rust has steadily improved its ranking, even reaching its highest position... Read more ›

AI is consuming staggering amounts of energy—already over 10% of U.S. electricity—and the demand is only accelerating. Now, researchers have unveiled a radically more efficient approach that could slash AI energy use by up to 100× while actually improving accuracy. By combining neural networks with human-like symbolic reasoning, their system helps robots think more logically instead of relying on brute-force trial and error. Read more ›

Oyster reefs aren’t random piles—they’re carefully shaped survival systems. Researchers discovered that certain geometric patterns, not just bigger or more complex structures, give young oysters the best chance to thrive. By mimicking these natural designs, artificial reefs can dramatically boost oyster survival. The findings could help restore ecosystems that have been devastated worldwide. Read more ›

Scientists have identified a potential new weapon against hepatitis E, a virus with no approved treatment and tens of thousands of deaths each year. The drug bemnifosbuvir, currently in trials for hepatitis C, was found to block the virus from replicating by disrupting its genetic machinery. Tests in cells and animals showed strong effectiveness without harming healthy tissue. If ongoing trials succeed, the drug could soon be repurposed for hepatitis... Read more ›

Quantum circuits are supposed to gain power as they grow longer, but noise changes the picture. A new study finds that earlier steps in these circuits gradually lose their impact, with only the final layers really mattering. As a result, deep quantum circuits behave more like shallow ones. This limits what current quantum computers can realistically achieve. Read more ›

Scientists have taken a major step toward probing one of physics’ biggest mysteries—how gravity and quantum mechanics fit together—by creating the first unified way to detect tiny “ripples” in spacetime itself. These subtle fluctuations, long predicted but poorly defined, are now organized into clear categories with specific signals that real-world instruments can search for. The breakthrough means powerful tools like LIGO and even small tabletop experiments could start testing competing... Read more ›

Scientists have identified a little-known receptor, GPR133, as a powerful regulator of bone strength. By activating it with a newly discovered compound called AP503, they were able to boost bone density in mice and counteract osteoporosis-like damage. The finding opens the door to a new kind of treatment that could not only prevent bone loss but also rebuild weakened bones, offering fresh hope for millions affected by osteoporosis, especially aging...

A newly discovered group of tarantulas is so bizarre that scientists had to invent a whole new genus—Satyrex—to describe them. With unusually long mating appendages and fierce, hissing defenses, these spiders are as strange as they are intimidating. Read more ›

Your brain’s “stop eating” signal may come from an unexpected source. Researchers found that astrocytes—once thought to just support neurons—actually play a key role in controlling appetite. After a meal, glucose triggers tanycytes, which send signals to astrocytes that then activate fullness neurons. This newly discovered pathway could lead to innovative treatments for obesity and eating disorders. Read more ›

Is consciousness something the brain produces, or is it woven into the fabric of reality itself? Renowned neuroscientist Christof Koch is challenging long-held scientific assumptions by confronting the “hard problem” of consciousness — why and how subjective experience exists at all. He highlights growing tensions between neuroscience, physics, and unexplained phenomena like near-death experiences and sudden moments of clarity before death. Read more ›

A strange “forbidden” planet spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope is turning planetary science on its head. TOI-5205 b, a Jupiter-sized world orbiting a small, cool star, has an atmosphere surprisingly poor in heavy elements—even less enriched than its own star, which defies current theories of how giant planets form.
