🤔 Microsoft Study: AI May Harm Critical Thinking

A study by Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon found that heavy reliance on generative AI can reduce critical thinking among workers. Surveying 319 workers and analyzing 936 AI use cases, researchers observed that many accept AI outputs without proper evaluation, mistaking minor edits for critical thought.

Key insights:

➡️ High trust in AI lowers critical thinking effort.

➡️ Strong self-confidence improves critical thinking and evaluation of AI outputs.

The findings highlight the need to balance AI use with independent problem-solving skills.

⏳ Time May Flow Both Ways in Quantum Systems

Physicists at the University of Surrey have uncovered fascinating evidence that challenges the traditional "one-way street" view of time. Their research suggests that, in certain quantum systems, time might flow forward or backward — a concept known as quantum time symmetry.

Here’s what they found:

➡️ Some quantum systems follow equations that work the same in both time directions.

➡️ This opposes the classical idea of time always moving from past to future.

➡️ It hints at the possibility of opposing arrows of time within quantum mechanics.

This discovery could reshape how we understand time and its connection to the quantum and macroscopic worlds. Time travel, anyone?

✖️ Musk's xAI Unveiled Its Grok 3

Today, Elon Musk presented Grok 3, the newest AI model from his startup xAI. Grok 3 is the first model to achieve over 1400 points on the LMArena leaderboard.

Main Features:

🔜 The base Grok 3 mini performs on par with Google Gemini 2 Pro, DeepSeek-V3, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and GPT-4o in coding, math, and exact sciences. The full model outperforms its competitors by roughly 1.5 times.

🔜 In reasoning mode, Grok 3 surpasses OpenAI's o3-mini-high by 5-10%. The new Big Brain mode pushes the model to think even more effectively.

🔜 Deep Search: new xAI agent for research on the web powered by Grok.

The model will be available starting today for Premium+ X subscribers.

🧬 Evo 2: AI Breakthrough Unlocks Secrets of Life’s Code

Scientists from Arc Institute and NVIDIA have unveiled Evo 2, a revolutionary AI tool designed to decode the "instruction manual of life." Built using genetic data from every branch of Earth’s biodiversity, this free-to-use model could accelerate discoveries in medicine, agriculture, and environmental science.

What Makes Evo 2 Special?

Trained on 9.3 trillion DNA building blocks – equivalent to stacking 3 million copies of War and Peace – Evo 2 learned from:
⦁ Human genomes
⦁ Plants, bacteria, ocean microbes
⦁ Ancient and modern species

The AI can:
1️⃣ Analyze DNA segments 40x longer than previous models.
2️⃣ Predict harmful gene mutations with 90% accuracy (tested on BRCA1, linked to cancer risk).
3️⃣ Identify patterns across species that humans might miss.

“This isn’t just bigger data – it’s smarter biology,” explains an NVIDIA researcher. Evo 2 tackles complex organisms, helping scientists:
⦁ Speed up drug development
⦁ Track disease outbreaks
⦁ Protect endangered ecosystems

The tool is now openly available, inviting researchers worldwide to explore life’s blueprint in unprecedented detail.
