They’ve identified previously unknown complexity in whale communication by analyzing thousands of recorded sequences of sperm whale clicks with artificial intelligence. What sperm whales are saying with their clicks remains a mystery to human ears. “This work builds on a lot of prior work focused on understanding the calls of sperm whales. For the new study, the researchers used machine learning to detect patterns in audio data collected by The Dominica Sperm Whale Project, a repository for observations of sperm whales that inhabit the Caribbean Sea. The study authors defined four features in codas: rhythm, tempo, rubato and ornamentation.

☆ ChatGPT is the Myspace of AI: It's fun, but it's far from taking your white-collar job

Despite excitement around ChatGPT and GPT-4, there are concerns about AI tools taking jobs. "Artificial intelligence may have a role in displacing, or at least reducing, the need for less skilled workers," Lee said. Hope Bradford, senior director of digital transformation at Kelly, a staffing and workforce company, told Insider that AI tools help HR professionals screen candidates. Are white-collar workers' jobs at risk of being cut because of AI tools? While people have found success and the pros of AI tools, there's still uncertainty about their future and fears still loom.

☆ UK pensions: There's no quick fix for the market mess

Almost 20 days after Finance Minister Kwasi Kwarteng unveiled his much-criticized plan to jumpstart the economy, sparking an investor revolt, the UK bond market and the British pound remain under huge stress — despite three emergency interventions by the central bank. The country’s central bank is in a difficult position. It’s trying to restore the UK government’s lost credibility in markets, though its toolkit isn’t designed for this kind of effort. “Investment consultants are working feverishly.”Ongoing volatility in the bond market is further complicating those efforts, as rising yields once again put hedging strategies at risk. Yet as bond yields keep rallying, not everyone is convinced that approach makes sense.

The finance ministry also announced that a civil servant with extensive budgetary experience, James Bowler, will head its staff. The sharp rise in yields was specific to Britain, as French, German and Italian bonds showed much smaller increases in yields. "The gilts market may be vulnerable this week as the end date for the BoE interventions nears," Rabobank analysts said. In the index-linked market, yields were mostly up more than 60 bps on the day across all bonds with a maturity of 10 years or more. Total offers were far below the 10 billion pounds the BoE said it was open to buying.

☆ How a sleepy corner of the market nearly triggered a meltdown

London CNN Business —Pension funds are designed to be dull. The scale of the tumult put enormous pressure on many pension funds by upending an investing strategy that involves the use of derivatives to hedge their bets. “It started to feed itself,” said Ben Gold, head of investment at XPS Pensions Group, a UK pensions consultancy. Yields on longer-term bonds have dropped sharply, giving pension funds time to recoup — though they’ve recently started to rise again. Still, Kenneth is concerned that if the program ends next week as scheduled, the task won’t be complete given the complexity of many pension funds.
