Can AI Be an Artist? The Battle Between Code and Creativity
In a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, the boundaries between machine-generated and human-made art grow blurrier each day. AI tools like Midjourney, DALL·E, ChatGPT, and Suno have unlocked astonishing new ways to generate images, music, and writing—often in just seconds. What once required hours of inspiration and effort can now be mimicked with just a few prompts.

Juliane Koepcke: The Incredible Survival Story of a Teenager Sucked from the Sky.
Juliane Koepcke: The Incredible Survival Story of a Teenager Sucked from the Sky. On Christmas Eve of 1971 a 17 year old German Peruvian girl named Juliane Koepcke experienced a tragedy so surreal that it would later be regarded as one of the most astonishing survival stories in aviation history. The teenager who had boarded LANSA Flight 508 with her mother was the sole survivor of a plane crash that claimed the lives of 91 people after being struck by lightning and breaking apart midair. Juliane was traveling from Lima to Pucallpa Peru with her mother Maria Koepcke to visit her father a biologist working in the Amazon rainforest. Both her parents were well known zoologists and Juliane had spent much of her childhood in the Peruvian jungle gaining familiarity with the harsh environment. On December 24/1971 they boarded the Lockheed L-188 Electra aircraft of the now defunct airline LANSA. Despite warnings of severe thunderstorms the airline chose to fly through dangerous weather. Approximately 25 minutes into the flight the aircraft encountered a violent thunderstorm. Turbulence rocked the plane lightning flashed through the sky and passengers clutched their armrests in fear. Suddenly the plane was struck by lightning. One of the fuel tanks exploded and the aircraft began to disintegrate in midair.

Robots That Understand You
For a robot, the real world is a lot to take in. Making sense of every data point in a scene can take a huge amount of computational effort and time. Now, MIT roboticists have a method to help robots focus on the features in a scene that are most relevant for assisting humans by cutting through the data noise. Using that information to then decide how to best assist a human is an even more difficult process. A robot can use cues in a scene, such as audio and visual information, to determine a human's objective and then quickly identify the objects that are most likely to be relevant in fulfilling that objective. This method, which they aptly refer to as "Relevance," allows for this. The robot then carries out a set of maneuvers to safely offer the relevant objects or actions to the human. The paper is available on the arXiv preprint server.

From Steel to Strength: The Evolution of Waist Shaping and Self-Perception.
In the drawing rooms of the 1800s, elegance came at a cost. The corset tight, rigid, and relentless wasn't just a garment. It was a social statement. Women wore them to demonstrate refinement, discipline, and societal alignment. The narrower the waist, the more desirable the image. But the cost? Discomfort. Pain. Restriction.
