Zkáza po dopadu planetky se vypálila do genomu ptáků

Když před 66 miliony let dopadla u dnešního Yucatánu planetka a ukončila křídu i celé druhohory, některé linie tehdejších organismů to přežily a následně zažily explozi diverzity. Jejich genomy dnes představují cenné svědectví o tehdejších apokalyptických časech. Ptáci jsou výtečným příkladem. http://www.osel.cz/13610-zkaza-po-dopadu-planetky-se-vypalila-do-genomu-ptaku.html

AI is like Google Maps: The user is the product

The other day, on a long road trip in a rental car, I found myself looking for a place to pull off the road. As I’ve done many times before, I typed into Google Maps “Food Near Me.” I peered at the options. (Don’t worry, I was in the passenger seat.) The response was bleak: Google recommended a string of chain restaurants. Pizza Hut, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, and so forth.
