How can we combat the alarming increase of AI-generated falsehoods spread by algorithms? – GretAi News

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools are supercharging the problem of misinformation, disinformation and fake news.

The true cost of food is far higher than what you spend at the checkout counter

After several years of pandemic-driven price spikes at the grocery store, retail food price inflation is slowing down. That’s good news for consumers, especially those in low-income households, who spend a proportionally larger share of their income on food. But there’s more to the cost of food than what we pay at the store. Producing, processing, transporting and marketing food creates costs all along the value chain. Many are borne by society as a whole or by communities and regions. For example, farm runoff is a top cause of algae blooms and dead zones in rivers, lakes and bays.

Do all humans feel music the same way?

Forty-three thousands years ago, our ancestors were making music. We know this because scientists have found unmistakable prehistoric flutes made of bone and ivory in caves nestled within a mountain range in southwest Germany.

(Alas, anthropologists will never find concrete evidence of singing; vocals don’t fossilize.) The fact that music has been with us for so long explains why it affects us so profoundly — both mentally and physically. Tears can uncontrollably seep from even the most hardened eyes when Bru......
