Acclaimed author Margaret Atwood dismissed AI chatbots at a literary festival in Porto, Portugal, citing a failed attempt to use Anthropic's Claude for factual information about the British detective series Father Brown. Atwood characterized the AI's incorrect response as a fundamental flaw in how large language models process and regurgitate training data without understanding.
Comparative recordings of laughter from humans and great apes reveal that the distinctive rhythmic "ha ha ha" pattern likely originated in a shared primate ancestor dating back at least 15 million years. The finding suggests laughter evolved as a fundamental communication mechanism deep in primate evolutionary history, predating modern human language and social structures.
