Across the U.S. since Jan. 1, there have been at least 18 shootings that left four or more people dead, according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today, in partnership with Northeastern University.

Chris Martens, a computer scientist and associate professor at Northeastern University who uses they/them pronouns, compared the new generation of AI to the gasoline engine in its potential for changing society for both good and ill, adding that they are concerned ChatGPT’s abilities have been “dramatically overhyped and oversold.”

When you start to feel an unproductive emotion, such as anger, you can more easily swap that negative feeling for a positive one, such as awe, says neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett at Northeastern University. 

In particular, labor costs are still very high in some regions, Gary Young, a health policy professor at Northeastern University, told Axios. “Recruiting a nurse can be incredibly expensive on the West Coast and other parts of the country. There’s still margin pressure,” he said.

Last week, researchers from Northeastern University, the University of Glasgow and MIT announced their new study, which observed that birds, if given the choice, would call each other.

In the first 100 days of this year, there have been a record number of mass shootings, according to a joint-mass killing database maintained by the Associated Press, USA Today and Northeastern University, as well as high-profile cases involving accusations of inappropriate police conduct.

“A lot of them only live around humans and are very closely bonded with their humans, but that can also cause problems,” said Kleinberger, a music and computer science professor at Northeastern University.

This then started the meet and greet calls for the birds to start to get to know each other. According to researcher Rebecca Kleinberger from Northeastern University, the types of sounds the birds used suggested they were mirroring the call and response nature they engage in in the wild: “Hello, I’m here!” in parrot-speak.

“There are a number of potential legal claims we could see over Twitter assigning blue checks to accounts that did not sign up for them and do not want them,” says Alexandra Roberts, professor of law and media at Northeastern University. “Given that the blue checks purport to be for users that are subscribed to […]
