• The AI Hype Index: Falling in love with chatbots, understanding babies, and the Pentagons kill list

    Separating AI reality from hyped-up fiction isnt always easy. Thats why weve created the AI Hype Indexa simple, at-a-glance summary of everything you need to know about the state of the industry. The past few months have demonstrated how AI can bring us together. Meta released a model that can translate speech from more than 100 languages, and people across the world are finding solace, assistance, and even romance with chatbots. However, its also abundantly clear how the technology is dividing usfor example, the Pentagon is using AI to detect humans on its kill list. Elsewhere, the changes Mark Zuckerberg has made to his social media companys guidelines mean that hate speech is likely to become far more prevalent on our timelines.

    This story was originally published in The Highlight, Voxs member-exclusive magazine. To get early access to member-exclusive stories every month, join the Vox Membership program today.At this particular moment, Im feeling a little bad about myself. This profession Ive chosen and really, this life that I lead relies so heavily on attention and metrics and reposts and HAHA reacts that I often feel like a dog doing their best tricks waiting for a treat. I could take this bad feeling and deconstruct it, rationalize away my insecurities with proof that Im doing just fine in life. Or I could post a selfie to Instagram Stories and hope for a few heart emojis. The latter option is almost always more satisfying. Maybe you can relate. As a social species, we humans have a tendency to look to others for approval; a word of praise or a pat on the shoulder is a sign of acceptance or a job well done. This acknowledgment scratches one of the most universal, fundamental itches: the need for belonging. We wouldnt have survived as a species except for the fact we had tight bonds and lived in groups, says Mark Leary, professor emeritus of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University. We couldnt have survived living by ourselves out of the woods somewhere. Even in modern society, people need to feel valued, accepted, and recognized by others, according to Leary. Validation does just that: Its the corroboration of someones existence, that their feelings and behaviors are real and normal, and research suggests it helps minimize negative emotions.So while its understandable and expected to crave a bit of validation its a sign you matter that natural urge can warp into near-obsession, thanks, in part, to a culture that values validation as currency. When likes and follower counts offer a quantifiable measure of your worthiness, all of lifes milestones good and bad become bids for affirmation.What is far more nourishing than the sugar high of validation is an internal process of recognizing your own worthiness.A lack of positive acknowledgment may make it seem as if your accomplishments dont matter; without a stamp of approval, you might question your every move. In our modern-day world, that basic desire to be part of a group, to be in a relationship, to have social connections has been hijacked by these surface ways of feeling that connection. [Its measured] by how many likes do I get or how many followers do I have or whats the feedback Im gonna get from my boss, says Lora Park, a psychology professor at the University of Buffalo. That gives us that rush of positive emotions, especially pride and feeling pleased and worthwhile and valuable, but quickly fades. Of course, external affirmation is nice every once in a while, but a steady flow of compliments and acknowledgments is hardly realistic or beneficial to your sense of self. What is far more nourishing than the sugar high of validation is an internal process of recognizing your own worthiness. Feeling seen and appreciatedInstead of wandering through life with no concept of how you are perceived, validation provides context that you are a worthwhile person, and that others can see your true value. Generally, people are not accurate judges of their own character we have too many biases and often consider our abilities and personalities as superior to others. Because of this, the feedback received from others helps shape our self-perception. If youre uncertain about your standing in relationships, validation clears up the ambiguity. In turn, the more positive, affirming comments you get, the better you feel. Validation is the confirmation that you are smart enough, beautiful enough, kind enough, funny enough.There is a limit, however, to validations positive payoff. Sure, getting a compliment warms the soul, but if youre already feeling sufficiently valued and appreciated, additional validation doesnt result in extra delight, according to James Hillman, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Ohio State University. The research seems to show that for validation specifically, he says, once we reach this level of satiation where we feel like we have enough it doesnt feel any better, typically. RelatedThats why those who are secure with themselves arent typically fishing for compliments. Its people with low self-esteem, anxious attachment style marked by a constant fear of rejection and those who base their self-worth on what others think of them who crave lots of validation. People with low self-esteem also constantly have doubts and question fundamentally do I belong? Am I accepted by others? Park says. Whereas people with high self-esteem and secure attachment styles, people who dont base their self-worth on others approval, they dont go through the world worrying so much about what other people think.But craving affirmation shouldnt be perceived as a moral failure. Instead, its a sign of invalidation in some aspect of life. We generally dont want constant validation, Hillman says. We want validation that offsets the invalidation that weve experienced. Someone who seeks frequent online attention may, for instance, lack a stable source of social support offline. That positive recognition is the carrot perpetually in arms reach, the thing that will finally make up for a lifetime of feeling disconnected.The validation doom cycleIf the need to belong is a fundamental human drive, so too is the tendency to compare oneself to others. Social media, of course, not only makes it easier than ever to juxtapose your life to others, but creates an avenue you can return to again and again to quell insecurities that social media may have prompted in the first place. Feeds populated with images of extensive home renovations, flawless, made-up faces, and expertly prepared meals may reinforce the falsehood that everyone has, in some way, succeeded in all the areas where you fall short. All the while, you may fail to realize these posts are largely smoke and mirrors designed to show an idealized, unattainable version of life. In an effort to receive some confirmation that you do measure up, you could always just share an image of your own home, or face, or dinner with the perfect lighting and angles and revel in the euphoria as the likes and comments roll in. Once you learn positive reinforcement is just a post away, the more alluring the cycle becomes. But the good feelings are short-lived: You can get used to constant positive feedback, Park says. It could be beneficial in the short term, she says, but I would argue that in the long term, it has costs in instability of self-esteem and preoccupation with the self to the detriment of relationships. And thus the loop continues: The more you crave affirmation for your looks, your personality, your likability, the more you seek it out, the more you become the dog waiting for the treat. But if your self-esteem is reliant on whether you receive recognition, you risk becoming motivated only by self-serving goals likes, comments, reposts.The more you crave affirmation for your looks, your personality, your likability, the more you seek it out, the more you become the dog waiting for the treat.This applies to your offline life too: If you find yourself constantly seeking reminders of your worth, the more likely you are to be let down. Your boss may find it grating to constantly confirm that you are, in fact, doing a good job, and your best friend may not take the bait and push back against you every time you critique your appearance. When these bids for validation arent met, you may end up feeling worse. But the pleasure of validation is so intoxicating, so full of promise, it can be difficult to break out of the spiral. Even if youre satisfied with your social network, professional accomplishments, or hobbies, you may always be on the lookout for more ways to be valued, Leary says. You might think the next person you impress may provide some benefit that you dont have right now, he says. They might offer you a job, or they might invite you into a club that youre not a member of. So even though you have a full plate at the moment, theres always a possibility that that next piece of validation is going to carry a social reward.A consequence of an over-reliance on validation is a lack of a sense of self. If youve looked to others for reassurance that youre doing the right things, you may lose sight of your own goals, joys, and motivations. People come to me all the time and will say, I dont know what I want, I dont know what I like, says Melody Wilding, an executive and leadership coach, because they have spent so much time focused on seeking other peoples approval and validation and their needs that they really dont have a developed sense of self that exists separate from what other people want.How you can learn to validate yourselfGetting off the merry-go-round of validation comes easier for some than others, says Janice Kuo, a professor of psychology at Palo Alto University. Those who grew up in a supportive environment where their emotions werent minimized may be more naturally inclined to self-validate, Kuo continues. Validating yourself can be as simple as recognizing that your experience of overwhelm and stress at work isnt unique to you many other people feel similarly at their jobs. Reminding yourself youre not alone or weird in your thoughts and actions is effective self-validation. But should you yearn for recognition, Leary, the professor emeritus at Duke, suggests looking inward: Do you really have fewer friends than everyone you know or does it just feel that way now? If you analyze it carefully, he says, sometimes I think people can say, Im doing fine. Do I have the perfect social connection with other people? No, I dont. Nobody does, but Im doing fine. Sometimes, though, it will alert the person to something that is a deficiency, something that they can work on.Reminding yourself youre not alone or weird in your thoughts and actions is effective self-validation. Notice what motivates your desire for validation, says Park, the University of Buffalo professor. Maybe youre nervous about what your colleagues will think of a work presentation or you want to post a selfie for a boost in self-esteem. Try shifting your attention to another goal, like what skills you can learn in the process of preparing the presentation or how you can leverage social media to meaningfully connect with others.Its also important to remember that its possible to excel at your job without receiving an award, to feel confident without a compliment. What you realize is, only a small fraction of the people out there who are benefiting from what you do, whether you sell cars or you write books or youre a doctor, Leary says, ever acknowledge [it].External validation is just that: surface level. The call needs to come from inside the house. To do so, to avoid wanting others approval, Park says, you need to feel autonomous, competent, and in relation to others. These three needs autonomy, competence, and relatedness encompass self-determination theory, which posits that people are more motivated when they feel they have ownership over their lives, mastery of skills, and deep relationships. Quenching these psychological desires is an internal process, Park says, and isnt fulfilled by external validation. Instead of feeling stressed and pressured, you can make daily choices as small as relishing quiet time with a book any activity, really, that doesnt feel obligatory or a to-do list item to exercise autonomy. True competence comes from continually learning and honing skills, not from positive evaluations from others. Spend as much time in person with family and friends and avoid technologically mediated relationships as a first line of defense to achieve relatedness. Interestingly, self-esteem is not one of those three basic [motivational] needs, Park says. Self-esteem is in that framework as more of a byproduct. So if youve met your needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness, then you will probably have higher self-esteem.RelatedProductivity hacks dont work. These do.If theres any consolation to the conundrum of validation, its often the most common (and perhaps cliched) advice: Feeling good about yourself comes from within not from an Instagram like or a positive performance review. But its okay to want those things, too. Even if youre especially self-assured, everyone needs a little acknowledgment that theyre doing the best they can.See More:

  • Three reasons why American democracy will likely withstand Trump
    www.vox.com
    Since his 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump has posed a serious threat to American democracy. From the start, he refused to commit to accepting election results. As president, he routinely undermined the rule of law. And he eventually tried to illegally hold on to power after losing the 2020 election, going so far as to incite a deadly insurrection that ultimately failed. Now, his recklessness is putting the countrys institutions through yet another dangerous stress test that has many critics worried about the long-term viability of American democracy and the risk of Trump successfully governing like a dictator. These are certainly valid concerns. Trumps first month in office has been a relentless assault on government: He is gutting the federal workforce, overtly handing over power to the worlds richest man, and even trying to redefine American citizenship altogether. Trumps policies from pursuing a plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza to launching a mass deportation campaign are, and will continue to be, harmful. But for those looking for some glimmer of hope, its also true that its likely too early to be so pessimistic about the prospect of American democracys survival.There are clear signs that American democracy might be able to withstand the authoritarian aspirations of this president. So if youre looking for some silver linings, here are three reasons why American democracy is more resilient than you might think. 1. The Constitution is extremely difficult to changeWhen experts evaluate democratic backsliding in the US, they often compare it to other countries experiencing similar declines places like Hungary, Turkey, or El Salvador. But one key factor that makes American democracy more resilient is that amending the Constitution of the United States is significantly more difficult.Constitutional reform to consolidate power is a critical step that often precedes democratic collapse. It gives aspiring autocrats a legal mechanism through which they can amass more and more control something that is unlikely to happen in the United States. Because while Trump is testing the limits of executive power and challenging the courts to stop him, he doesnt have the capacity or political support necessary to permanently change the Constitution.In the US, any proposed constitutional amendment would need to be passed by two-thirds of Congress and ratified by three-quarters of the states. With the country divided relatively evenly between Democrats and Republicans and power swinging back and forth between the two parties its hard to see a party have enough of a majority to be able to do this without bipartisan support. Remember that even though Trump won the popular vote, he only won by 1.5 percentage points, hardly a mandate to change the Constitution.By contrast, many other countries have fewer barriers to constitutional reform. In Turkey, for example, constitutional amendments are easier to pass because they can be put on the ballot in a national referendum if they first pass parliament with three-fifths of the vote. When you look at the countries where democracy has broken down, the institutional framework in the United States is so much stronger and so much more entrenched, said Kurt Weyland, a professor in government at the University of Texas at Austin who focuses on democratization and authoritarian rule. In my book, I look at [dozens of] governments and I see that seven of those governments really pushed the country into competitive authoritarianism. In five of those cases very early on there was a fundamental transformation of the constitution.In Hungary, for example, Viktor Orbn became prime minister in 2010 with a supermajority in parliament that gave him the ability to amend the countrys constitution with ease. As a result, his government removed checks and balances and strengthened Orbns grip on the political system.If you look at Orbn, he rewrote the constitution and so he rewrote the rules of elections, he rewrote the way the supreme court justices were chosen the way the whole judiciary was run and he rewrote the way elections were going to be organized. And so that way was able to control both the judicial branch and the legislative branch, said Eva Bellin, a professor at Brandeis Universitys politics department who focuses on democracy and authoritarianism. Thats just not possible in America.The rigidity of the US Constitution is sometimes a frustrating feature of American democracy, essentially giving the judicial branch an almost-exclusive say in how the Constitution should evolve over time and limiting its ability to respond to the needs of modern society. But in times like these, the fact that its so difficult to pass a constitutional amendment is one of the principal safeguards against an authoritarian takeover of American institutions. 2. The Trump presidency has a firm expiration dateOne of the core threats to democracy over the past decade has been Trumps willingness to go to great lengths to win or maintain the presidency a danger that materialized after he lost the 2020 election and tried to overturn the results, culminating in the attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. When he was a candidate during Joe Bidens presidency, there was the prospect of another January 6-style event given his violent rhetoric, constant undermining of the publics faith in the electoral process, and the loyalist partisans in state and local positions who were willing to block the election results should Trump have lost in 2024.But now that he won, Trump has no more campaigns to run, and because of that, the threat of Trump trying to manipulate the next election to stay in power is virtually gone. Though he has joked about serving a third term, short of a constitutional amendment which, for the reasons outlined above, is almost certainly not in the cards there is no legal avenue for him to do so. Under the 20th Amendment of the Constitution, Trumps term will end at noon on January 20, 2029, at which point a new president will be sworn in. (Some might argue that the Supreme Court would favor Trump if he ever tries to challenge term limits, given how partisan the Court is. But thats a highly unlikely scenario because of how clear the text of the 22nd Amendment is: No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.)The only way to circumvent the scheduled transition of power in 2029 will be for Trump to foment an actual coup. Of course, thats what he tried to do four years ago, but next time, he would have even less going for him: He wouldnt be eligible to run, so unlike in 2020, he cant even claim that the election was rigged. Instead, he would have to convince Americas institutions to fully ignore not just one set of election results but the Constitution altogether. The fact that Trump is term-limited also creates serious political hurdles for his ability to permanently reshape American democracy.People are like, Oh, Trump is more dangerous because he has learned, and he has loyalists, and he has flushed out a whole bunch of people who contained him in his first government, said Weyland. But not only can he not be reelected, but he will be a lame duck, especially after the midterm elections. And virtually every midterm election, the incumbent president loses support in the House. Given Republicans narrow majority, Democrats have more than a decent shot at winning the House in 2026, which would be a major blow to Trumps legislative agenda and bring much-needed oversight to the executive branch. The other factor to consider is that Trump has no natural heir. Some Republicans like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis have mimicked Trumps style and seen success at the state level, but struggled to capture Trumps base at the national level in the 2024 GOP primaries. That could change when Trump is out of the picture, but no one has emerged as the definitive leader of the post-Trump Republican Party. One fundamental feature of these populist leaders is that they cant have anybody [in charge] besides themselves, Weyland said. So even if Democrats lose the House in 2026, as the 2028 presidential election gets underway and Republicans elect a new standard bearer, Trumps hold on the GOP may not be as unbreakable as it has been since he became the partys nominee in 2016. Even if the next GOP presidential nominee is a Trump loyalist a likely scenario, to be sure Trump will find himself having less direct influence over, say, members of Congress, who would be looking to their new candidate for guidance.3. Multiculturalism isnt going awayThe United States has not always been a multiracial democracy. But since the 1960s and the passage of the Civil and Voting Rights Acts the United States has been a stronger and much more inclusive democracy than it has been for most of its history. That doesnt mean that there hasnt been backlash. To the contrary, gerrymandering and voter suppression tactics have long aimed to diminish the power of Black voters: In 1980, for example, only 5.8 percent of Black voters in Florida were deprived of the right to vote because of a felony conviction, but by 2016, that number was closer to 20 percent. Still, the path to victory for candidates at the national level requires some effort to build a multiracial coalition. Even though white Americans make up a majority of the electorate, Republicans have to reckon with the fact that some 40 percent of white voters are either Democrat or lean Democrat, which means that they do need at least some Black and Latino voters to win.So while it is concerning that Trump has made gains with Black and brown voters since his first election win, especially given the overt racism of his campaigns, theres also a positive twist: Trumps improvement with nonwhite voters shows Republicans that the party doesnt have to abandon democracy to stay in power.Republicans have long been locked out of winning the popular vote. Between 1992 and 2020, Republicans lost the popular vote 7 out of 8 times. The lack of popular support gave the GOP two options: respect the rules of democracy and continue losing unless they change course, or make power grabs through minority rule. The party chose the latter, using Republican-led state legislatures and the Supreme Court to enact voter suppression laws. But Trumps ability to appeal to more Black and Latino voters resulted in Trump being the first Republican to win the popular vote in 20 years. That fact could change Republicans calculus when it comes to how they choose to participate in democracy. Trump, in other words, made it clear that they can win by appealing to more Black and brown voters, which means that they have an incentive to actually cater to the electorate rather than reject it and find paths to power without it, as they have previously tried.While [gains with Black and Latino voters] enabled Trump to win, I think in the broader sense its a good thing for American democracy because it precisely gets them out of that corner of thinking theyre destined to be an eternal minority, Weyland said. So that pulls them out of that demographic cul-de-sac and gives them a more democratic option for electoral competition.Ultimately, Trumps improved margins with Black and brown voters is bad for Democrats and their supporters, but the fact that Republicans have diversified their coalition is a good step toward preserving Americas multiracial democracy. American democracy is elastic, not fragileAmerican democracy has never been perfect. Even before Trump rose to power, presidents have pushed and pulled institutions and expanded the executive branchs authority. There have also been other instances where American democracy has been seriously challenged.In 2000, for example, the presidential election was not decided by making sure that every single vote was counted. Instead, the Supreme Court intervened and along partisan lines stopped vote recounts in Florida, which ultimately handed the presidency to George W. Bush. Preventing the recount from being completed will inevitably cast a cloud on the legitimacy of the election, Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens wrote in the dissent.That case, like many other moments in this nations history, shows that American democracy can bend that it can stretch and contract but that its core principles tend to survive even in the aftermath of antidemocratic assaults. The wealthiest Americans, for example, have been amassing more and more political power, making it harder than ever to have an equal playing field in elections. But we still have elections, and while grassroots organizers have an unfair disadvantage, they also have the ability to exert their influence in spite of deep-pocketed donors.The roots of American democracy arent fickle. Theyre deep enough to, so far, withstand the kind of democratic backsliding that has led other countries to authoritarianism.Still, the imbalance of power between the wealthy and the rest of society is a sign of democratic erosion something that has only escalated since Trump gave Elon Musk, who spent hundreds of millions of dollars supporting Republicans in the last election, the ability to overtly influence the White Houses decision-making. Moves like that show why the second Trump presidency remains a threat to democracy.So while American democracy is resilient, it still requires vigilance. [I am] persuaded that the institutional foundation of democracy in the United States is pretty solid and that it will survive in the long term if people mobilize, if people use the tools that are available to them, Bellin said. We cant just sit by twiddling our thumbs, but there are tools available to protect our system and Im still persuaded by that without question.See More:

  • JWST Helps Identify Rare Ultra-Hot Neptune 262 Light Years Away
    www.discovermagazine.com
    Illustration of LTT 9779 b, the only known ultra-hot Neptune. This planet orbits so close to its star that its atmosphere is scorching hot, glowing from its own heat while also reflecting starlight. Because it is tidally locked - always showing the same side to its star - one half is permanently in daylight while the other remains in darkness. New JWST observations with NIRISS reveal a dynamic atmosphere: powerful winds sweep around the planet, shaping mineral clouds as they condense into a bright, white arc on the slightly cooler western side of the dayside. As these clouds move eastward, they evaporate under the intense heat, leaving the eastern dayside with clear skies. (Credit: Benoit Gougeon, Universit de Montral) NewsletterSign up for our email newsletter for the latest science newsLTT 9779 b, an exoplanet 262 light years from Earth, always stares directly at the sun. With a surface of nearly 2000 degrees Celsius (about 3632 degrees Fahrenheit), the planet glows bright red while still reflecting starlight. Researchers have called it a rare ultra-hot Neptune.Thanks to images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) published in Nature Astronomy, researchers are now able to see and analyze extreme weather patterns on this intriguing exoplanet, which can help them better understand its unique atmospheric properties.Understanding LTT 9779 b The Hot ExoplanetA 2020 study published in Nature Astronomy first identified LTT 9779 b. The study found that the exoplanet has been tidally locked like Earths moon meaning one side has continuously faced the sun, while the other side has been in constant darkness. Its nearly 30 times the size of Earth and is about 0.01679 astronomical units (AU) from its star. For reference, Earth is 1 AU from the sun, or about 93 million miles, and LTT 9779 b is about 15 million miles away from its sun.The distance from its star is what makes LTT 9779 b so hot, but despite the extreme temperature, the new study used the JWST to identify reflective clouds on the western half of the exoplanet's dayside, which creates a major contrast to the hotter, eastern side.This planet provides a unique laboratory to understand how clouds and the transport of heat interact in the atmospheres of highly irradiated worlds, said Louis-Philippe Coulombe, a graduate student at Universit de Montral's Trottier Institute for Research on Exoplanets (IREx), and lead author of the study, in a press release.JWST and Reflective CloudsThrough the JWST, Coulombe and the research team noticed an asymmetry in LTT 9779 bs dayside reflectivity. The team surmised that this unbalance may be due to strong eastward winds that distribute heat and clouds across the exoplanets surface. This new information redefines how heat can move across a planet and how clouds can form in an atmosphere.For this study, the research team analyzed the exoplanet at different phases of its orbit, monitoring its properties at each phase. They found that reflective silicate clouds formed on the western side of the exoplanet, which is likely why it reflects so much of its stars light.The researchers then combined information from the reflective clouds and the exoplanets heat emissions to form a detailed model of LTT 9779 bs atmosphere. According to a press release, the findings reveal a delicate balance between intense heat from the star and the planets ability to redistribute energy.The research team also noted the presence of water vapor in the atmosphere, which helps give the team a better idea of the exoplanets composition."By modeling LTT 9779 bs atmosphere in detail, were starting to unlock the processes driving its alien weather patterns," said Bjrn Benneke, Coulombes research advisor, an UdeM professor of astronomy, and co-author of the study, in a press release.A Rare Ultra-Hot NeptuneCoulombe and the researcher team have intensified LTT 9779 b as an ultra-hot Neptune, meaning that the exoplanet is roughly the size of Neptune in our Solar System but is positioned much closer to its star. The team explains that the exoplanet resides in the hot Neptune desert and is extremely rare."Finding a planet of this size so close to its host star is like finding a snowball that hasnt melted in a fire, said Coulombe in a press release. Its a testament to the diversity of planetary systems and offers a window into how planets evolve under extreme conditions."These findings can help researchers better understand the unique ways planets form and endure stellar forces.These findings give us a new lens for understanding atmospheric dynamics on smaller gas giants. This is just the beginning of what JWST will reveal about these fascinating worlds, said Coulombe in a press release.Article SourcesOur writers at Discovermagazine.com use peer-reviewed studies and high-quality sources for our articles, and our editors review for scientific accuracy and editorial standards.
