Four foods that become toxic when stored in the refrigerator

Although the refrigerator keeps food fresh, some foods should not be stored in the refrigerator because they can become toxic. Doctor Dimple Yangda, who is a specialist in gut health, stated on Instagram that these foods are garlic, onion, ginger and rice and revealed the reasons why this is so. Garlic Garlic can become soft if stored in the refrigerator. "Never store garlic in the refrigerator because it starts to mold very quickly, and mold on garlic is actually linked to cancer," Yangda said, advising to store garlic in a dry, dark place. "Garlic has a low acidity, which makes it prone to the deposition of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which is one of the culprits of botulism," she warned. Onion Onion is a crop that is resistant to low temperatures. The expert explains: "When you put onions in the fridge, the starch starts to turn into sugar and mold starts to form." Many people make this mistake. Cut the head of the onion, use half...

Artificial intelligence: Google's new model 'will outperform humans in solving intelligence tests'

Google has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that it claims will "answer questions more carefully" because its "functionalities are more advanced". AI content generators sometimes invent things that developers call hallucinations.  The new Gemini model has been tested to solve problems in 57 areas, including mathematics and the humanities. "This is the new era of artificial intelligence," said Sundar Pichai, head of Google.  Earlier this year, Google launched its own version of the chatbot – Bard – calling it an "experiment".  During the presentation, the program made an error when answering the space question.  Google claims that the new model is "the most capable" and will outperform humans in solving intelligence tests.  Gemini can recognize image, text and sound, but it is not a product in itself.  It is a program that will be integrated into existing Google tools, including search, but also into the Bard...

How artificial intelligence changed the internet in 2023

  Although it does not look like it, ChatGPT is only a year old. It came out in November 2022, and a lot has changed in the meantime. The rise of artificial intelligence systems is being called by many a new industrial revolution and has raised various philosophical and ethical questions. Therefore, it has been a big year for chatbots and other AI stuff – even though it is all happening fast, we still do not seem to be aware of what is changed. During 2023 we learned that AI can "hallucinate", but not in a fun way. Those hallucinations make linguistic sense and contain some elements of reality. That is why it is not always easy to separate the truth from complete nonsense. The internet has been flooded with stupid things "said" by various chatbots, for example, Google Bard presented incorrect things as correct, while ChatGPT managed to ruin a lawyer's career. Deepfake has entered the mainstream over the year, as new fake AI-generated content looks even more real...

‘Meta’ introduces new ‘Messenger’ encryption: 'We don't know what's sent either'

Meta said it will introduce default encryption for personal calls and messages through the Messenger app so "no one, including Meta, can see what is being sent or said." It's a major update to privacy terms reminiscent of Meta's other app, WhatsApp, CNBC reports. Messenger boss Loredana Crisan added in an accompanying post on the company's blog that it will take an indefinite amount of time to encrypt all conversations. In 2016, users were given the option to choose whether they wanted to protect their communications through so-called end-to-end encryption, and now it will be the default option. This change was confirmed by the CEO of "Meta", Mark Zuckerberg, with a post on the social network "Facebook" and on that occasion he congratulated the team for a job well done.
