Trump Claims Mandate as 2024 Election Secures His Reelection

In an interview with NBC News, former President Donald Trump stated that he has a mandate to bring 'common sense' to the country, as he campaigns for a potential second term. The discussion comes amid a tightly contested election landscape, with polls showing close races between Trump and his opponents, including Vice President Kamala Harris.

"Study Reveals Widespread Lack of Common Sense, Contrary to Popular Belief"

New research from Penn introduces a framework for quantifying common sense, revealing variations in common beliefs and the influence of social perceptiveness. The study highlights the uniqueness of common-sense perceptions and suggests potential applications in global studies and AI development. The researchers found that demographic factors like age, education, or political leaning did not significantly influence a person’s level of common sense, but social perceptiveness correlated with higher commonsensicality. They also aim to expand their research globally to understand how common sense varies across different cultures and societies and to develop methods to implement common sense in AI systems.

The Importance of Hand Hygiene: Don't Neglect It!

The author expresses frustration at the increasing number of men observed not washing their hands after using public restrooms, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the importance of proper hygiene. They emphasize the criticality of handwashing in preventing the spread of illnesses like cold, flu, and COVID-19, and urge individuals to take the extra 30 seconds to wash their hands with warm soap and water. The author highlights the irony of someone wearing an N95 mask but neglecting to wash their hands. They conclude by emphasizing the importance of handwashing for personal and public health.

Pioneering AI Researcher Douglas Lenat Passes Away at 72

Douglas Lenat, an artificial intelligence researcher known for his efforts to build common sense into computers, has passed away at the age of 72. Lenat developed an AI system called Eurisko in the late 1970s, which analyzed data to automate the discovery of new scientific concepts. He later embarked on the Cyc project, aiming to define the fundamental laws that govern the world and replicate human common sense. While the rule-based approach to AI research has fallen out of favor, Lenat's work serves as a reminder of the importance of common sense in AI development.

"AI Generates Realistic Bird Images from Text Using Common Sense and Surprising Learning Techniques"

Researchers in China have developed a new neural network called CD-GAN that generates high-quality bird images from textual descriptions using common-sense knowledge to enhance the generated image at three different levels of resolution, achieving competitive scores with other neural network methods. The network was trained with a dataset of bird images and text descriptions, with the goal of promoting the development of text-to-image synthesis. The authors believe that the introduction of common sense can greatly promote the development of text-to-image synthesis.
