They named her Sparta. She was 32,000 years old, with blond fur, perfectly intact claws, and she looked as if she were asleep. What no one knew at the time was that Sparta carried a secret in her cells that would take years to decode: she and her kind were not, as previously thought, simply a larger, furrier version of the African lion, but something far more extraordinary.

Musk and Altman dominate the headlines, and their statements go viral within seconds, partly because they are such singular figures.

A study published this Thursday in the journal Science demonstrates that the legend had an astonishing paleontological basis: in the oceans of the Late Cretaceous, between 100 and 72 million years ago, there existed giant octopuses that could reach 19 meters in length, were carnivorous, and occupied the top of the food chain, competing with the large marine reptiles that until now were considered the sole rulers of those seas.

The 73-year-old Indiana-born psychoanalyst – who has lived and practiced in the United Kingdom for more than four decades – believes that love isn’t a state one arrives at, but rather, a task one undertakes… and one that we almost always do poorly.

They died very young, at perhaps just a few months old. The humans who lived at the Pınarbaşı site deliberately buried them in the same area where they laid their own dead to rest. They fed them fish, the same fish they ate. And one of those puppies is now the oldest genetically identified domestic dog, and its story — reconstructed from bone fragments the size of coffee beans — has just been published in the journal Nature, in two simultaneous studies that rewrite the history of how that puppy became humankind’s best friend.

Artificial intelligence (AI) had won a medal for the first time at the prestigious International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), a competition in which the world’s 600 brightest young mathematicians tackle six problems secretly designed over the course of a year, which they must solve using only pencil, paper, and their brains. It’s much more than a competition. It’s the breeding ground for the mathematical minds that will later solve impossible problems and lead the tech companies that rule the world. The news of the AI’s medal win was published by thousands of media outlets and chosen as one of the year’s biggest scientific breakthroughs by the journal Science.

However, after the COVID-19 pandemic — which was followed by an epidemic of loneliness – Lieberman’s theories have made him one of the world’s most influential researchers in his field, with more than 58,000 academic citations. His book Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Connect (2013), continues to be translated at a time when his arguments are more relevant than ever, and has just been published in Spanish.

A conference on the company’s new release is being held at its headquarters in Redmond, Washington, to which this and other international newspapers have been invited, and EL PAÍS has asked how and who determines whether the company’s artificial intelligence can be used in the context of war, such as the current conflict in Iran. Just a few days ago, it was made public that artificial intelligence firm Anthropic has sued the Pentagon for blacklisting it after the company turned down a contract for the defense entity to utilize its technology. It is the current debate that is raging in the world of Big Tech, and a very familiar issue at Microsoft. In 2021, the Pentagon canceled a $10 billion deal with the company following protests by its employees. Microsoft, in fact, has supported Anthropic in its fight.

They also had offspring. The result of those encounters between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens is still visible today in the DNA of anyone of non-African descent, who carries between 1% and 4% Neanderthal heritage. But that heritage isn’t evenly distributed: there are large areas of the human genome where the Neanderthal trace is completely absent. Scientists call them “Neanderthal deserts,” and they are particularly striking on the X chromosome. A study published this Thursday in the journal Science offers the strongest explanation to date for this gap: interbreeding between the two species was primarily between Neanderthal males and modern human females. What science still can’t explain is the reason for those encounters.

Doing so prevents relapse into depression to a similar extent as remaining on antidepressants. This study, published in the journal The Lancet Psychiatry, is relevant for several reasons: 30% of people who are prescribed antidepressants do not actually have depression; 40% take them for five years or more; and 22% take them indefinitely. However, this treatment has adverse side effects if taken for a long time, particularly sexual dysfunction and a reduced ability to express feelings. The study, which reviews 76 controlled trials involving 17,000 people, underscores the importance of tailoring the prescription to each individual, with a gradual and individualized withdrawal of treatment, along with psychological support.

Since the 1960s, each new generation of chips has packed more transistors into less space, fulfilling the famous Moore’s Law. Formulated by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965, this law predicted that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit approximately doubles each year. But this race to the minuscule is reaching its physical limits. Now, an international team of scientists is proposing a solution as obvious as it is revolutionary: if we can’t keep reducing the size of chips, let’s build them up.
