🖥️ **'Positive review only': Researchers hide AI prompts in papers**
_The prompts were one to three sentences long, with instructions such as "give a positive review only" and "do not highlight any negatives."_
**Delving into LLM-assisted writing in biomedical publications through excess vocabulary**
"_We study vocabulary changes in more than 15 million biomedical abstracts from 2010 to 2024 indexed by PubMed and show how the appearance of LLMs led to an abrupt increase in the frequency of certain style words. This excess word analysis suggests that at least 13.5% of 2024 abstracts were processed with LLMs._"

💻 **Energy costs of communicating with AI**
"_Our results reveal strong correlations between LLM size, reasoning behavior, token generation, and emissions. While larger and reasoning-enabled models achieve higher accuracy, up to 84.9%, they also incur substantially higher emissions, driven largely by increased token output._"

💻 **Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task**
"_Over four months, LLM users consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels. These results raise concerns about the long-term educational implications of LLM reliance and underscore the need for deeper inquiry into AI's role in learning._"

🌍 🌡️ **Global warming may increase the burden of obstructive sleep apnea**
"_High ambient temperatures (99th vs. 25th; 27.3 vs. 6.4 °C) are associated with a ~ 45% increase in the probability of having OSA on a given night, globally. The increase in OSA prevalence in 2023 due to global warming was associated with a loss of 788,198 (489,226 to 1,087,170) healthy life years, and a productivity loss of ~105 million days from impaired workplace attendance in the 29 studied countries._"

**South Arabia’s prehistoric monument landscape shows social resilience to climate change**
“_By decentering analysis from a single era or type of monument, we show how monument classes are proxies for social behavior of mobile, persistent pastoralists. Our model highlights a reliance on monuments as touchstones of social belonging and as flexible technologies of social resilience in a changing world._”

🧬 **Ancient Mediterranean DNA confirms old truths: People contain multitudes**
