Daily briefing: Tiny bones from Neanderthal fetus point to downfall of the species
"DNA from the remains of ten Neanderthals indicates a significant genetic bottleneck occurred around 65,000 years ago, leading to a population decline that may have contributed to their extinction."
"Radiologists only identified AI-generated X-ray scans with 41% concern, while large language models demonstrated an accuracy of only 57-85% in distinguishing real from fake images."
Neanderthals experienced a genetic bottleneck approximately 65,000 years ago, leading to a population decline. This homogeneity may have made them vulnerable to extinction around 40,000 years ago. In a separate study, radiologists struggled to identify AI-generated X-ray images, with only 41% expressing concern over their presence in data. Large language models also showed limited accuracy in distinguishing real from fake images, raising concerns about the impact on scientific literature and medical training data.
