Researchers used distributed intercity quantum sensors to place new constraints on axion dark matter, showing how quantum networks can probe fundamental physics and cosmological mysteries with unprecedented sensitivity.

Anthropic’s secret to building a better AI assistant might be treating Claude like it has a soul. No one really believes it has a soul, though, right? @ArsTechnica explores:

The French government is ditching U.S. videoconferencing services such as Zoom. Over the next year, civil servants will start using an open-source videoconferencing platform called Visio. This is part of a family of programs, Suite Numérique, designed to eventually replace all collaboration tools used by the French administration. Here's more from ZDNET.

Wouldn't it be cool to say that your home was heated by the Large Hadron Collider? A new blogpost on CERN's website says that is exactly what's happening in the French town of Ferney-Voltaire. Here's how it works.

Tim Berners-Lee – not too late to turn it around
'pursuit of profit soon became a driving force in how the internet was designed. But it wasn’t until 2016 – the same year he won the Turing award – that the US elections showed Berners-Lee just how toxic the web could be. Two years later, he told Vanity Fair he was “devastated” by the abuses of the web'

"IG is a drug." Documents that show Meta seemingly bragging that "teens can't switch off from Instagram even if they want to" may prove damning for the platform in a social media addiction trial that could cost them and YouTube — also a subject of the lawsuit — billions. Snapchat and TikTok were originally named too, but both have settled. Here's more from @arstechnica.

As the world marks Holocaust Remembrance Day, experts say that social networks are being overrun with AI-generated content about the Holocaust, some of it exploiting the horrors of Nazi crimes for clickbait, some seeking to deny or trivialize them. Jens-Christian Wagner, director of the foundation that manages the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora memorials, points to images of "well-fed prisoners, meant to suggest that conditions in concentration camps weren't really that bad." Here's more from AFP News.

This is probably fine, right? @ProPublica reports on how Trump's transportation department plans to use Google Gemini to draft regulations. The agency's remit includes practically all transportation safety. "We don’t need the perfect rule on XYZ. We don’t even need a very good rule on XYZ," said Department of Transportation general counsel Gregory Zerzan in a meeting. "We want good enough."
