AI ethics and why machines can’t replace teachers
S
25:40Svenia BussonHOST
And I would love to know what does this mean for our kids, for learners who are still building, you know, their own voice.
L
25:49Louis de DiesbachGUEST
Yeah, also, I think it says a lot about the overall population, not only kids or learners, but indeed, there's an interesting study from the Max Planck Institute in Germany that highlights, basically, that the more you interact with an AI, the more you're going to use their vocabulary.
L
26:07Louis de DiesbachGUEST
You know, machines, they have specific ways of talking, you know, with, like, a couple of words that they're going to use more than it actually is in normal voice, you know, more discourse and so on and so forth.
L
26:20Louis de DiesbachGUEST
So they take the example of the word to delve, you know, the verb to delve, which is not used that much.
Ep. 661 - History of Poltergeists

The men who investigated were German parapsychologist Hans Bender and Max Planck Institute physicists Friedbert Karger and Gerhard Zika.
D
63:58DianeHOST
Bender attributed the occurrences to recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis, or RSPK, an unconscious psychic or telekinetic output driven by emotional stress.

Some police suspected intentional manipulation, and others thought there was mechanical trickery.

Um, but the Max Planck Institute actually has found the amino acid that goes along with it.
F
42:21Frank RogalaGUEST
And again, a metaphor, uh, the chances of that happening, it doubled our neural capacity, right? The chances of that happening naturally are, you know, as if a jet engine blows up, falls to the ground, reassembles and runs better than it did in the first place.
F
42:37Frank RogalaGUEST
That would be, you know, it's virtually impossible, right?

And now, as promised, here are the bonuses.
J
10:29Jasmine MundHOST
First up, we have a bonus about the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Germany and Columbia University in New York establishing a joint research center called the Max Planck Columbia Center.
J
10:41Jasmine MundHOST
The centre will receive $13.3 million over five years, beginning in 2027, and will bring together researchers working on tokamaks, stellarators, superconducting magnets and plasma stability.
J
10:54Jasmine MundHOST
Next up, I have a bonus YouTube video looking at the future of fusion in an interview with Professor Dennis White, the CEO of UKAA.
How Spiders Spin ‘Silk Dope’ Into Nature’s Toughest Material

Soon, these kinds of structures would become inescapable in modern biology.

In 2009, scientists at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Massachusetts and the Max Planck Institute in Germany discovered droplets of aggregated RNA molecules in fertilized worm eggs – These were condensates, liquid or gel-like bubbles of concentrated proteins suspended in solution.
S
5:05speaker_0NARRATOR
Though observed for more than a century, condensates started to be seen as a critical organizational tool for molecular processes across life.
S
5:14speaker_0NARRATOR
The researchers realized that condensates concentrate molecules, pre-organizing them into a flexible microenvironment without locking them in place like a solid.
9 Hours of Boring Facts About Sleep and Animals to Fall Asleep To
S
31:37speaker_0NARRATOR
In the 1960s and 1970s, several researchers, including the German chronobiologist Jürgen Aschoff, conducted experiments in which volunteers live for weeks or months in underground bunkers without clocks, windows, or any indication of the time of day.
S
31:59speaker_0NARRATOR
Aschoff built a specially designed underground facility at the Max Planck Institute in Erling Andechs near Munich, in which subjects could live in isolation for extended periods.
S
32:12speaker_0NARRATOR
The bunker was soundproofed and shielded from all natural light, and the subjects controlled their own lighting, meals, and activities according to whatever schedule felt natural to them.
S
32:26speaker_0NARRATOR
The subjects' body temperature continued to cycle in a near 24-hour rhythm, though it tended to drift slightly, usually running on a cycle of about 24.2 to 24.5 hours rather than exactly 24.
Episode 25: Using Virtual Reality to Understand Criminal Decision-Making (Dr. Patrick McClanahan)

P
6:33Patrick McClanahanGUEST
And that led to the design of the virtual neighborhoods.
P
6:36Patrick McClanahanGUEST
And this design, the actual building of the virtual reality was supported during my time at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime Security Law by Jean-Louis, who I've already mentioned, Dan Nagin, and then Marco and Peter were our big technological supervisors who really helped develop the simulation.
P
6:50Patrick McClanahanGUEST
But once we got the simulation, got all the equipment, went into the facilities and got the guys to come in, they went into the virtual neighborhood and they were asked to explore this virtual neighborhood for burglary targets, just kind of generally walk around, look around, see what you think, but also assess specific houses that we experimentally manipulated that we thought would either make a house really attractive to them or unattractive to them.
P
7:12Patrick McClanahanGUEST
And while they were doing all of this, I asked them to think out loud, to share every little thought with me that we could then talk about it later.
