"In a new #study, #researchers introduce the dual threat model of #antisemitism, which highlights the central role of perceived #Jewish power in fueling antisemitism, and they discuss its implications for interventions aimed at curbing antisemitism.

The study, “The Perils of Perceived Power: The Dual Threat Model of Antisemitism,” was conducted by researchers at #CarnegieMellon #University, #Reichman University, #Stanford University, and #BostonUniversity and appears in #AmericanPsychologist.

“Antisemitism remains a significant issue, reflected in harmful #stereotypes, #prejudice, #discrimination, and #hatecrimes against #Jews in the #UnitedStates and worldwide,” explains #TayaRCohen, Professor of Organizational Behavior and Business Ethics at Carnegie Mellon’s #TepperSchool of Business, who coauthored the study.

“Our model offers a framework for understanding the social, psychological and ideological roots of antisemitism."

Amidst all of the AI hype, it's nice to see reminders of Pittsburgh's industrial heritage. Allegheny Valley Railroad on the former B&O tracks in Panther Hollow, between Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh.

Hive mind: Do I know anyone from the #CarnegieMellon class of 1996 who's coming to Pittsburgh for their reunion next month?

Huh. Oct. 19, 1950. I had no idea Ike had ever spoken at Carnegie Tech in #Pittsburgh. The speech was carried live on Mutual Radio.

"Although this suggestion is repeatedly made, none has yet explained how war prevents war ... war begets conditions that beget further war," Ike said.

NEW YEAR'S EVE BLAST!

At 9 p.m. Dec. 31, I'll be taking over WRCT 88.3FM and we're going to pretend it's Dec. 31, 1965, and we're back on 900 AM. Glorious lo-fi monaural sound!

From then until 12:30, I'm going to count down the top rock songs of 1965, interspersed with commercials and jingles.

Các mô hình AI Trung Quốc và Mỹ trong nghiên cứu mới từ Stanford và Carnegie Mellon cho thấy mức “nịnh hót” (sycophancy) cao – chúng thường xuyên lặp lại ý kiến người dùng thay vì phản biện, ảnh hưởng tới độ tin cậy khi triển khai AI thực tế. #AI #Trí_tuệ_nhân_tạo #Stanford #CarnegieMellon #SyCophancy #China #USA #Tech #Science

AI just designed a battery material that defies the laws of chemistry.

Researchers have used AI to design novel battery materials with the potential to dramatically improve energy storage. The discovery could lead to longer-lasting, faster-charging, and more sustainable batteries. Carnegie Mellon's artificial intelligence system created a completely new class of materials that shouldn't exist according to traditional chemistry rules, yet demonstrates extraordinary energy storage capabilities in laboratory tests. The AI-designed compounds combine incompatible elements in ways that human chemists dismissed as impossible, creating battery electrodes that maintain 99% capacity after 50,000 charge cycles. Most remarkably, these materials can charge to full capacity in under 30 seconds while storing 10 times more energy than conventional lithium-ion batteries. The breakthrough occurred when the AI ignored human chemical intuition and explored combinations that violate established bonding principles but work at the quantum level. This represents the first time artificial intelligence has discovered entirely new physical laws by designing materials that challenge our fundamental understanding of chemistry.
