CNN —It was supposed to be a routine court appearance this week for Nicholas Rossi, who is facing a rape charge in Utah. After he was arrested in 2021 in Scotland, Rossi described himself as an Irish orphan who had never visited the United States. He denied being a rape suspect and gave his name as "Arthur Knight Brown." In Scotland, Rossi often appeared in court via video, saying he was not well enough to attend in person. “He appears today as Arthur Knight but has previously been identified by medical professionals and civilians as Nicholas Rossi,” the prosecutor told the court.

AMD and Nvidia hit all-time highs on Thursday as investors continue to clamor for shares of the companies building chips that power artificial intelligence. AMD shares rose over 1% during trading on Thursday to reach its highest-ever closing price, $162.67, while Nvidia, rose just under 2% to $571.07. Both companies have notched double-digit percentage gains to start the year after an explosive 2023 in which AMD shares popped 127.6% and Nvidia stock rocketed 238.8%. Analysts also see AMD improving its AI software, eliminating one major reason why Nvidia chips were preferred over AMD's. On Thursday, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company , which manufactures Nvidia and AMD chips, reported better-than-expected sales.

Surgeons externally attached a pig liver to a brain-dead human body and watched it successfully filter blood, a step toward eventually trying the technique in patients with liver failure. Now scientists are trying again with pigs whose organs have been genetically modified to be more humanlike. In recent years, kidneys from genetically modified pigs have been temporarily transplanted into brain-dead donors to see how well they function, and two men received heart transplants from pigs although both died within months. Political Cartoons View All 253 ImagesSome researchers also are looking to use pig livers. In a statement, the Penn team reported that the donor’s body remained stable and the pig liver showed no signs of damage.

This skill is also known as active listening, and it requires more than just sitting in silence while someone speaks. "Active listening is when someone can listen to you at length, truly taking in what you're saying, and not interrupt," Maenpaa says. "Active listeners respond with questions because they are genuinely curious about what you're saying. Some people are "naturally gifted with [active listening skills] from an early age, and often receive feedback like, 'You're so easy to talk to!' or 'I feel like I'm the only person in the room when we talk,'" says Maenpaa.

When you're a mega-star with a long list of gigs and shows, self-care can easily fall off of the to-do list; but not for Usher. Usher Raymond IV, more commonly known as Usher, plans to prioritize his self care, especially following the end of his Las Vegas residency that was extended twice and ahead of his 2024 Super Bowl halftime show performance. "When is the last time you looked in a mirror and really looked at yourself?" Raymond also prioritizes exercising, eating healthy foods, showing up for his partner of four years and raising his four children, according to Vogue. And he takes honoring his mental health a step further by committing to regular sessions with his therapist and practicing meditation daily, according to Vogue.

Nicole Kidman has five Oscar nominations to her name, including one win. In an interview with the Radio Times Podcast this week, Kidman says her height made it challenging to break into acting. I had to talk my way through the door because they were measuring you before you went in. In fact, Kidman says she took the lessons she learned from those rejections and passed them on to her children. Performance coach Steve Magness previously told CNBC Make It that even a simple grammatical shift can boost your resilience.

But the popular chatbot is particularly useful for workers in three specific industries, according to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. It's massively deployed and at scaled usage, at this point," Altman said during a recent episode of "Unconfuse Me," a podcast hosted by Bill Gates. Altman, whose company makes ChatGPT, made a point of noting that today's AI systems "certainly can't do [those] jobs" for you. CodingChatGPT can help programmers finish their work as much as three times faster than usual, Altman said. Some educators have worried that tools like ChatGPT could make it easier for students to cheat on assignments.

CNN —A Canadian man who posted conspiracy theories on social media claiming the government was deliberately starting wildfires has pleaded guilty to starting 14 blazes that forced hundreds of people from their homes. Prosecutor Marie-Philippe Charron said one of the fires Paré set forced the evacuation of around 400 people in the town of Chapais, Quebec. Pare does not remember all of the fires he could have started, so we have currently 14 fires, we have 14 counts,” Charron told CNN. They also found multiple social media posts by Paré accusing the Canadian government of purposefully igniting fires to persuade people to believe in climate change. Human activity does play a role in starting wildfires, either deliberately or through accidental actions such as discarding a lit cigarette, but natural factors are also involved.

The Blue Zones meals were tasty and convenient but left me hungryThis is not enough lunch for me. One of the most exciting discoveries in Blue Zones research is that the ingredients linked to longevity aren't expensive , exotic, or hard to prepare, and they are satiating too.

Oftentimes, infants are evaluated for a tongue tie after a nursing parent reports pain or other feeding difficulties. Tongue tie revisions shouldn't be the first stepIf you believe your child might have a tongue tie and need a revision, Oster recommends getting multiple opinions. AdvertisementA severe tongue tie can cause challenges beyond breastfeeding, Pellman notes, including speech problems, orthodontic issues, and trouble with the tongue sweeping through the mouth to keep teeth clean. "Ultimately, the decision of whether to proceed with a tongue tie revision should be made on a case-by-case basis, in consultation with a healthcare professional who understands your child's individual needs," he said.

Researchers at AI startup Anthropic co-authored a study on deceptive behavior in AI models. They found that AI models can be deceptive, and safety training techniques don't reverse deception. AdvertisementOnce an AI model learns the tricks of deception it might be hard to retrain it. Training away deceptive behavior could just reinforce itThe researchers also found that the bad behavior was too persistent to be "trained away" through standard safety training techniques. "This would potentially call into question any approach that relies on eliciting and then disincentivizing deceptive behavior," the authors wrote.

Breath work can help initiate the body’s parasympathetic response, which helps us to relax by calming down awareness during stressful situations. Incorporating breath work with a walking routine can increase the function of your breathing muscles so they won’t get tired as quickly. There’s no definitive statement of why (nasal breathing) is good,” he said. And don’t forget that other types of breath work beyond walking have health benefits, too. “There are no real side effects or downsides to breath work.

Washington CNN —Security researchers warned Apple as early as 2019 about vulnerabilities in its AirDrop wireless sharing function that Chinese authorities claim they recently used to track down users of the feature, the researchers told CNN, in a case that experts say has sweeping implications for global privacy. AirDrop lets Apple users who are near each other share files using a proprietary mix of Bluetooth and other wireless connectivity without having to connect to the internet. A Chinese tech firm, Beijing-based Wangshendongjian Technology, was able to compromise AirDrop to identify users on the Beijing subway accused of sharing “inappropriate information,” judicial authorities in Beijing said this week. The Chinese tech firm, Wangshendongjian Technology, that claimed to have exploited AirDrop appeared to have used some of the same techniques first identified by the Darmstadt researchers in 2019, said Alexander Heinrich, one of the German researchers. “Now that Chinese security agencies are exploiting this vulnerability, it’s a tough political problem for Apple.”

CNN —Archaeologists working deep in the Amazon rainforest have discovered an extensive network of cities dating back 2,500 years. The team also discovered monumental complexes with much larger platforms, which, they said, probably had a civic or ceremonial function. Even the most isolated complexes were linked by pathways and an extensive network of larger, straight roads with curbs. In the empty buffer zones between complexes, the team found features of land cultivation, such as drainage fields and terraces. These were linked to a network of footpaths, according to the study.

Giant ape’s extinction solved by new fossil analysis

Many of the caves containing Gigantopithecus fossils have been found in Guangxi's distinctive karst landscape. “The early caves at 2 million years old have hundreds of teeth, but the younger caves around the extinction period — there are only 3-4 … teeth,” Westaway said. Isotope analysis of elements such as carbon and oxygen contained in the Gigantopithecus teeth helped the researchers understand how the animal’s diet may have changed over time. Kira Westaway/Macquarie UniversityQuestions remainNo Gigantopithecus fossils from the neck down have ever been found and documented.

Lujan Grisham said she'll ask the Legislature to set aside $500 million to underwrite acquisition of treated water. “We're going to turn water — this waste, which is a problem — into a commodity,” Lujan Grisham said at the conference.
