Four men in Georgia, all living in the same county, mysteriously became infected with a potentially deadly soil bacterium that’s normally found in the tropics and subtropics, particularly Southeast Asia and northern Australia. The four cases were tied together not just by their shared location but also by the bacterial strain; whole genome sequencing showed

Most experimental brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that have been used for synthesizing human speech have been implanted in the areas of the brain that translate the intention to speak into the muscle actions that produce it. A patient has to physically attempt to speak to make these implants work, which is tiresome for severely paralyzed people.

There’s something oddly satisfying about taking a cold, mechanical AI-generated block of text and turning it into something that actually feels like you. For students, bloggers, marketers—or anyone who cares about passing plagiarism checks like Copyscape—it’s a fine balance between sounding authentic and staying compliant. That’s why I decided to spend a few days testing
