Google created a new AI model for talking to dolphins
Dolphins are generally regarded as some of the smartest creatures on the planet. Research has shown they can cooperate, teach each other new skills, and even recognize themselves in a mirror. For decades, scientists have attempted to make sense of the complex collection of whistles and clicks dolphins use to communicate. Researchers might make a little headway on that front soon with the help of Google's open AI model and some Pixel phones.Google has been finding ways to work generative AI into everything else it does, so why not its collaboration with the Wild Dolphin Project (WDP)? This group has been studying dolphins since 1985 using a non-invasive approach to track a specific community of Atlantic spotted dolphins. The WDP creates video and audio recordings of dolphins, along with correlating notes on their behaviors.

If you are interested in this text, you might save not only the link, but the PDF as well - apparently there are ongoing efforts to de-publish it completely. (What again was the word we were using for this in USSR times?)And if you are interested on many more details how "social media" and most smartphone software employs a neverending stream of "brain hacks" to capture our attention by addictive design, amplifying the campaigns of Cambridge Analytica and people behind it like Bannon or Mercer, this is a book you should look into:
"Free Your Mind from Smartphone and Social Media Stress", by Imran Rashid and Søten Kenner, Johm Wiley & Sons, ISBN (print) 978-3-527-51002-3, (epub) 978-3-527-82886-9.
- title sounds like a self-help book but I think it is immensely political.
What’s Really in the White House Law Firm Agreements?
these “agreements” are – depending on the agreements – three or four bullet pointed paragraphs of text...
putting all the pieces together it seems clear to me that these blocks of text are in fact the sum total of the agreement. They appear to be identical to what Donald Trump posted on Truth Social.

Torino: Scatti d’autore. Dal 22 aprile al 5 maggio mostra in ricordo di Luciano Viotto attraverso le sue foto a Chet Baker nel 1988
SCATTI D’AUTORE
UNA MOSTRA IN RICORDO DI LUCIANO VIOTTO E CHET BAKER
Nel 2024 è scomparso a 67 anni Luciano Viotto, appassionato di jazz e figura storica dell’urbanistica torinese. Funzionario della Città metropolitana di Torino dal 2005, era da poco in pensione. Per ricordarlo, la Città metropolitana, il Torino Jazz Festival e la Fondazione per la Cultura Torino promuovono una mostra fotografica dedicata a Chet Baker.
Gli scatti, realizzati da Viotto il 21 aprile 1988 durante un concerto al Teatro Carignano, ritraggono il celebre trombettista pochi giorni prima della sua morte, avvenuta il 13 maggio ad Amsterdam.
Viotto non era un musicista, ma un profondo conoscitore del jazz e collezionista, autore anche di una dettagliata discografia su Miles Davis. Il concerto del 1988 fu un evento irripetibile: Chet Baker si esibì con Enrico Rava, Franco D’Andrea, Massimo Urbani, Giovanni Tommaso e Roberto Gatto. La sua presenza fu in bilico fino all’ultimo: bloccato alla dogana francese, arrivò a Torino solo per il secondo set grazie all’intervento di un avvocato. La performance fu comunque indimenticabile.
Le foto saranno esposte nel foyer della sede della Città metropolitana di Torino, in corso Inghilterra 7. L’inaugurazione è prevista per il 22 aprile alle ore 16, con la partecipazione della famiglia Viotto, di Lorenza Cattadori (Musica Jazz) e del sassofonista Gianni Denitto.
La mostra sarà visitabile fino al 5 maggio, dal lunedì al venerdì dalle 8 alle 18 (chiusa nei weekend e nei festivi).
Ingresso gratuito.

Concita De Gregorio: Se non hai un lavoro, non c’è posto per i sogni
Un sondaggio pubblicato dal Guardian che mostra come i ragazzi inglesi siano più preoccupati per i soldi che per gli ideali ha suscitato scandalo negli adulti che hanno commentato come crescono generazioni senza ideali, materialisti e non sanno sognare.
Concita De Gregorio: non capisco lo stupore.
Se non hai un lavoro non c’è posto per i sogni.
Se il lavoro ce l’hai ma non guadagni abbastanza per mantenerti ti svegli con gli incubi.
Se sei libero professionista (diciamo così, includendo nella categoria il precariato) ti pagano a 60 giorni, a volte a 120.
Persino i diritti individuali, l’emarginazione, il bullismo, la violenza di ogni genere arrivano dopo, nella gerarchia delle priorità, rispetto all’urgenza di avere un tetto, un lavoro, i soldi per mangiare.
È così per tutti, giovani, adulti e anziani.
Se paghi con regolarità le tasse, se non rubi, se non fai traffici illeciti e saldi i tuoi debiti con puntualità diventi rapidamente povero.
Ma veramente povero.

ICE deports Venezuelan teen despite reportedly knowing he was not a target
Merwil Gutiérrez sent from New York to El Salvador prison although family says he has no criminal history or gang ties
A 19-year-old Venezuelan in New York City reportedly was apprehended by Trump administration immigration authorities and deported to El Salvador despite agents’ realizing he was not whom they meant to arrest in a targeted operation.
Merwil Gutiérrez, whose family opened an asylum case after arriving in the US, was deported from the Bronx to the notorious Cecot prison in El Salvador despite his relatives’ insistence that he has no gang ties or criminal history, according to Documented, a newsroom dedicated to telling the stories of immigrants in New York City. The Gutiérrez family says it has been left without information or answers.
The teen was detained alongside 237 other Venezuelans on 24 February by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice). His father, Wilmer Gutiérrez, told Documented: “I feel like my son was kidnapped.”
