UPDATE MINACCE INFETTIVE - #COVID: continua purtroppo anche in Italia l'ondata iniziata questa estate, rinvigorita dall'inizio della scuola e delle attività al chiuso, oltre alla comparsa di una nuova variante #XEC. Il numero dei casi dice poco, perché nessuno fa più i test. 1)

🚨 Spread of the Invasive #AedesAlbopictus (#TigerMosquito) in Europe | April 2017 - October 2023 🌎 First detected in Albania in 1979, it spread to Spain by 2004. This mosquito is a major public health concern as it can transmit diseases like #dengue Data source: ECDC

Large study shows humans can learn from AI feedback but access to AI also amplifies existing inequalities by increasing the skill gap and reduces intellectual diversity: everyone learns to specialize in the same areas arxiv.org/abs/2409.18660
