Millions of people are pretending to be AI chatbots — for fun “The website Your AI Slop Bores Me takes its name from a meme people on social media use to criticize AI-generated content. The site — a fake AI chatbot — has only been around for about a month. But its creator, Mihir Maroju, said it's already received more than 25 million unique visitors and nearly 280 million total hits. ‘People are spending hours on the site,’ the 17-year-old high school graduate in Puducherry, India said in an interview with NPR. ‘I didn't really expect it to be so addictive.’ As with real AI chatbots like Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT, anyone can submit a request for an image or information by typing it into the youraislopbores.​me interface. But in this case, the response doesn't come from an algorithm — just another human.” NPR » The investor list is a little unusual Sometimes the signal isn’t the company: It’s who shows up around it. RAD Intel’s Reg A+ has drawn investors who’ve worked inside companies like Google, Meta, and Amazon — along with being selected by Adobe Design Fund. That kind of crowd doesn’t usually appear randomly. For now, access still exists for investors paying attention, but opportunities like this rarely stay quiet for long. Current share prices are set to expire on 4/30 at 11:59 PM PST. [Ad] Explore the Reg A+ » New Webb images shed light on planetary formation “A new study published in Astrophysical Journal Letters digs into data collected by the James Webb Space Telescope, perhaps offering a new perspective on the formation of both planets and stars. The issue comes down to an exoplanet called 29 Cygni b, which sits about 133 light-years from Earth. It's the first exoplanet discovered around the star 29 Cygni, in the constellation Cygnus. 29 Cygni b comes in at a whopping 15 times the mass of Jupiter and orbits roughly as far out as Neptune, which is troublesome to existing models of planetary formation.” ExtremeTech » The real reason our later years seem to fly by “Adults often lament that time accelerates with age. Summers once felt endless; now Christmas seems to have already arrived again. This sense that ‘time speeds up’ as we get older is widely accepted, and looking at time passage over the past decade is especially revealing: In several studies over the last 20 years, people reported that the last 10 years of their life seemed to pass faster the older they were. … The fact that this finding has been reproduced is quite astonishing in the face of a replication crisis in science, when empirical results often cannot be reproduced in follow-up studies. Some studies have also shown that the last three years and five years of our lives are sensitive to this age effect, but never the last year.” Psychology Today » Your AI assistant, but make it actually useful Microsoft’s Copilot AI is like having a personal assistant — except it actually does its job.

Go camping “According to research, though, if I want to get a better night's sleep, I'd do well to get back into camping. Most of us go to bed well after the Sun does, and this mismatch has physical and mental health impacts. Research suggests that sleeping outside can help counter this by giving us a better chance of staying in tune with the Sun and Moon; scientists have found that spending a weekend camping can reset our circadian clock so that it better aligns with the world outside. For most of us, that means shifting our sleep a bit earlier — and avoiding the health issues associated with sleeping late, including cardiovascular disease and depression.” BBC » // Your brain has room for 150+ languages, it’s just been hoarding memes. uTalk’s lifetime access finally puts that storage space to work » // Engineers and operators from companies like Google, Meta, and Amazon have already invested in RAD Intel.
