New AI Models Claim to ‘Talk to the Animals’ Like Dr. Dolittle: Here’s What You Need to Know

0

An AI model called NatureLM-audio is helping researchers decode animal communication, potentially unlocking interspecies understanding and redefining conservation efforts.
Artificial intelligence may be the missing piece needed to make the longstanding human dream of communicating with animals possible. Earth Species Project researchers have created NatureLM-audio, an AI audio language foundation model that can use animal vocalizations to identify various aspects of communication and behavior. NatureLM-audio is the first large audio-language model designed specifically to analyze animal sounds.
Trained on a curated dataset that includes human language and environmental sounds, the AI model can detect and identify the species of animals producing the sound, classify different types of calls, and predict the animal’s approximate life stage. NatureLM-audio has even shown potential in identifying vocalizations of species it has never encountered before.
This isn’t the first time generative AI has been applied for translation purposes. AI models have successfully translated human languages but have had more difficulty deciphering meaning from an unknown language. This makes translating animal languages trickier, especially since researchers are working with a limited understanding of how animals communicate through sound.About the Earth Species Project
Earth Species Project is a nonprofit focused on addressing planetary concerns. It recently secured $17 million in grants to further its work using AI to decode animal communication. The organization aims to apply its large language model to improve our understanding of non-human languages, transform our relationship with nature, enhance animal and ecological research, and support more effective animal welfare and conservation outcomes. Advocates say using AI to decode animal communication may provide a compelling case for giving animals broader legal rights. Applying generative AI to animal communication
In an April 1 post, ElevenLabs—creator of the speech-to-text model Scribe—announced its new AI tool, Text to Bark, suggesting it could help pet lovers enjoy similar AI-powered animal communication tools with their furry companions. The company said its AI-powered TTS model for dogs uses a new AI-powered “Pawdio” engine to support cross-species communication, turning human language into “fluent barking.” While the April Fool’s Day announcement was likely just for laughs, the Earth Species Project is not the only endeavor involving AI for animal communication purposes.
The nonprofit Cetacean Translation Initiative (CETI) is an interdisciplinary scientific and conservation project that applies AI to translating other-species communication. The listening project’s initial phase involves training its AI to decode the communication of sperm whales using a one-of-a-kind large-scale acoustic and behavioral dataset. With advanced machine learning and state-of-the-art robotics, CETI is working to protect the oceans and planet.

US judge warns Trump administration could be in criminal contempt over El Salvador deportations

A US federal judge has warned that he could hold the Trump administration in contempt for violating his orders to turn around planes carrying deportees to El Salvador.
A US federal judge has warned that he could hold the Trump administration in contempt for violating his orders to turn around planes carrying deportees to El Salvador.
US District Judge James E. Boasberg said he had found “probable cause” to hold the administration in criminal contempt and warned he could refer the matter for prosecution if it does not “purge” its contempt.
If the government doesn’t purge the contempt, charges could be brought forward by the Justice Department, NBC News reported.
And if the executive-led Justice Department refused to prosecute the matter, Judge Boasberg said he would appoint another attorney to prosecute the contempt.
Mr Boasberg said the administration could “purge contempt by returning those who were sent to El Salvador prison, in violation of his order, to the US.
This, he said, “might avail themselves of their right to challenge their removability”.
“The Constitution does not tolerate wilful disobedience of judicial orders – especially by officials of a coordinate branch who have sworn an oath to uphold it”, the judge wrote.
Executive vs judicial
This marks a notable escalation in the ongoing tensions between the judicial and executive branches of the US government during Donald Trump’s second term.
Parts of the US president’s legislative programme have been halted by judges, as the administration strains against the restraints of the separation of powers.
Mr Trump previously called for Judge Boasberg to be impeached while the Justice Department claimed he overstepped his authority – both reflecting the administration’s attempts to overcome perceived obstacles to the implementation of its agenda.
Mr Trump’s administration has also argued it did not violate any orders.
It claimed the judge didn’t include a turnaround directive in his written order and said the planes had already left the US by the time the order came down.
‘Administrative error’
At the heart of the legal wrangling is Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man who was sent to El Salvador by the Trump administration in March despite an immigration court order preventing his deportation.
Washington acknowledged that Mr Garcia was deported due to an “administrative error”.
The US Supreme Court has called on the administration to facilitate his return, upholding a court order by Judge Paula Xinis, but Trump officials have claimed that Mr Garcia has ties to the MS-13 gang.
Mr Garcia’s lawyers have argued there is no evidence of this.
This all comes after El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele visited the White House earlier this week.
During his time with Mr Trump, Mr Bukele said that he would not return Mr Garcia, likening it to smuggling “a terrorist into the United States.”
Along with Mr Garcia, the Trump administration has deported hundreds of people, mostly Venezuelans, whom it claims are gang members without presenting evidence and without a trial.
Democrat senator travels to El Salvador
Meanwhile, Democratic senator Chris Van Hollen arrived in El Salvador on Wednesday, saying he would seek a meeting with the country’s officials to secure Mr Garcia’s release.
“I just arrived in San Salvador a little while ago and look forward to meeting with the US embassy team to discuss Mr. Abrego Garcia’s release”, Mr Van Hollen said on social media.
Deportations have been an important part of Mr Trump’s second term, with him being vocal on the issue throughout the campaign trail and into office.

TikTok is testing its own version of Community Notes, called Footnotes

0

X’s Community Notes model seems to be catching the attention of other social platforms, and now TikTok is the latest to take a swing at it.
Just weeks after Meta announced that it would be replacing its long-standing fact-checking system with a crowd-sourced alternative modeled after X’s Community Notes, TikTok has now stepped into the same territory with a new feature called Footnotes.
The idea is simple and familiar: let the users help police the content. According to TikTok’s press release, Footnotes is designed to “give our community more context” by allowing select users to add information to videos, aiming to make the content on the platform more understandable or at least more transparent. Right now, it’s rolling out as a U.S.-only test for short-form videos.
Community Notes began life at Twitter in early 2021, back when it was still called Birdwatch. The idea was to bring some kind of crowd accountability to misinformation without relying solely on top-down moderation or third-party fact-checkers.
Elon Musk inherited the project when he took over Twitter, renamed it to X, and then gave the whole system a bit more visibility and reach. Despite some hiccups, it stuck and now it’s spawning clones.
Footnotes contributors have to meet a few basic requirements, like being over 18, having a clean track record on the app, and sticking around for at least six months. Once approved, they’ll be able to add notes and rate others’ submissions. Only notes deemed “helpful” by contributors with differing viewpoints get pushed to the wider public.
The feature uses what TikTok calls a “bridge-based ranking system”, which basically just means it’s looking for consensus across people who normally disagree. That’s more or less how Community Notes works, too.
In fact, TikTok even says it is inspired by “the open-sourced system that other platforms use”, which is probably the closest it is going to get to saying “yes, we copied X.”
None of this is going to be a silver bullet, though. Community-driven moderation sounds great in theory, but X’s own Community Notes have shown how messy it can get in practice.
A 2024 report by the Center for Countering Digital Hate found that the system missed most of the misleading election posts it was supposed to flag. Notes either weren’t added or weren’t visible to the public before the content had already done its damage.
And to be clear, TikTok still runs traditional fact-checking in the background, working with IFCN-accredited organizations across dozens of languages and countries. Footnotes aren’t replacing that system; they are just adding another layer to how the platform handles misinformation and context.
TikTok is currently in the middle of a high-stakes political fight in the U.S. ByteDance, the app’s Chinese parent company, is still under pressure from Washington to either sell its U.S. operations or face a ban.

I Tried Samsung's New Glasses-Free 3D Gaming Monitor, and I've Got Questions

0

Is the incoming Odyssey 3D display good enough to justify spending $2,000? I’m intrigued by Samsung’s valiant effort, but I’m not completely sold. Here’s why.
Can you really game in 3D without glasses? That’s the question I had when I met with Samsung at One World Trade Center to test out its Odyssey 3D, a new addition to the Odyssey line of gaming monitors. Glasses-free 3D gaming was not a new concept to me—I spent many years with my trusty Nintendo 3DS by my side, even if I rarely used the 3D effect for more than a few minutes. Like the little 3DS, Samsung’s display comes with a big promise: You’ll see high-definition 3D without needing to don any eyewear, via advanced tech built into the monitor itself.
We’ve seen glasses-free 3D in stand-alone monitors before, like in the Sony ELF-SR2 Spatial Reality Display and the Lenovo ThinkVision 27. But those panels weren’t built for gaming, mostly professional workflows instead. Nothing wrong with that, but gaming poses very different challenges and demands different capabilities. What happens when you want your enemies to pop out of the screen?
Honestly, I had my doubts about the Odyssey 3D going in, and I still have questions, mainly about the supported game library. But I walked away largely impressed by the display technology in play here.An Odyssey to Another Dimension
In some ways, the Samsung Odyssey 3D (G90XF)—now available for pre-order at $1,999—shares similarities with other gaming monitors in its class. A 4K 27-inch IPS display with a 165Hz refresh rate, the monitor comes equipped with two HDMI 2.1 ports and offers AMD FreeSync Premium support. It’s also Nvidia G-Sync Compatible.
But look more closely at the top of the monitor. There, you’ll find the tech that brings the 3D: tiny cameras using advanced eye-tracking technology and a proprietary lenticular lens. To run that gear, you’ll need Samsung’s Reality Hub app.
The app scans your computer for 3D-compatible games across multiple storefronts. So, if you own a compatible game, it doesn’t matter if you got it from the Epic Game Store, Steam, Xbox Game Pass, GOG, or the Microsoft Store. You can access it through the Reality Hub and play in 3D.
I’m there. What can I play? Well, Samsung says it is actively collaborating with major game developers to make the most out of its 3D technology. The first of these collaborations includes The First Berserker: Khazan (by Nexon) and Lies of P (by Neowiz). In addition to these two games, there will be an additional 10 titles supported at launch, including Palworld, Like a Dragon: Ishin!, and Octopath Traveler, with an expected 50 games supported by the end of the year. These additional titles will work with the Odyssey 3D, but they aren’t part of Samsung’s collaboration with studios. Some of titles on the horizon include Epic Mickey: Rebrushed and Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy—The Definitive Edition.
You probably had the same thought I did: Why these games? It’s a seemingly random assortment of titles. Or consider some other games the Odyssey 3D supports: Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake, and Psychonauts 2. The answer is that these games, as different as they are, all share the same Unreal game engine. And, as of now, the Odyssey 3D only supports games developed with the Unreal Engine. A Samsung spokesperson didn’t confirm if that support extends to Unreal Engine 5.
So that’s the kind of lineup you can expect (so far). Titles that Samsung co-develops will be marked with a gold ribbon within the Reality Hub’s interface.
Booting up The First Berserker, I was blown away by how good the 3D looked. The effect is impossible to capture on video or in photographs, so you’ll have to take my word for it, but The First Berserker’s anime art style literally popped out of the screen. Hacking and slashing through the first few enemies, I was impressed by the depth of field and equally impressed that it seemed like there were no visual compromises to make it happen. Overall, the effect was seamless. (You can adjust the effect’s intensity or shut it off completely in the game’s settings.) Recommended by Our EditorsSome Blurred Lines
I wish I could say the same for the other supported titles. While Khazan’s 3D start-up is seamlessly integrated, the supported titles have the controls bolted on via a toolbar at the top of the screen with shortcuts to adjust the 3D settings. For compatible titles, the user has to manually alter the 3D effect via keyboard shortcuts. This is different from the co-developed game, which had its 3D effect set “as the artist intended”, and, in my opinion, didn’t need much alteration, if any at all.
Because these games were not tailor-made for 3D, the effect was far more jarring. A few times, I had to roll my chair back a few feet from the screen; the 3D effect was so intense and blurred it made my eyes spin. After some adjustment, I found a level I was mostly happy with, but then other issues started to crop up. While I was playing Palworld, I noticed the text boxes and character models seemed to have different 3D intensities, as if one were more effective than the other. The game was also noticeably choppier than Khazan, but I’m unsure if the 3D effect had anything to do with that.
I also realized that, by default, Reality Hub’s shortcuts use Ctrl and a combination of the 1-5 keys. But that created a conflict: Both Ctrl and the number keys are essential for playing Palworld, and it didn’t seem that there was a way to remap the hotkeys within the Reality Hub. You can use a controller or remap the Palworld keyboard controls in the game settings to sidestep the issue, but it’s an issue nonetheless.
Switching to the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City remaster (all three titles in the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Definitive Edition will be compatible at a later date), I didn’t come across any button overlap as I did in Palworld. But, again, it seemed like only certain assets were popping out, as if they were carved out of the background.
Admittedly, the optimal settings for every 3D game are subjective. It remains to be seen what other functionality Reality Hub might offer. I’d like the ability to create presets for certain games, and of course, I hope the game library will grow to include some of the latest AAA titles.It Does Movies and TV, Too
While Reality Hub’s main use is video games, the monitor has another trick up its 3D sleeve: AI video conversion, which uses artificial intelligence to transform compatible 2D video content into 3D. In my demo, I pulled up a video clip of Avengers: Endgame on YouTube. After enabling the 3D effect, I was surprised to see the scene pop up at me seamlessly.
The conversion tech is not without caveats. First, Reality Hub must be running in the system tray, and the video must be in full screen. Plus, not every video player supports 3D conversion. You also can’t apply 3D conversion when HDR is enabled or when you’re watching DRM content. Finally, the system requirements are worth keeping in mind. You must have an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 GPU or higher. In addition, Samsung recommends an Intel Core i7 or higher—or an AMD Ryzen 7 1700X or higher—and 32GB of DDR5-5600 RAM.
I’ve still got more questions about the Samsung Odyssey 3D, but we’re eager to get it into PC Labs. Be sure to check back for our full review.

"Реакция должна быть здесь и сейчас!": Лубинец обратился к ООН из-за расстрела пленного ВСУ

Уполномоченный Верховной Рады по правам человека Дмитрий Лубинец призвал международное сообщество к немедленной реакции после очередного расстрела безоружного украинского военнослужащего в Волновахском районе Донецкой области. Он обратился с соответствующим заявлением в Организацию Объединенных Наций и Международный комитет Красного Креста.
Об этом омбудсмен сообщил в Telegram.
Он отметил, что 11 апреля этого года три военных ВСУ выполняли боевые задания на одной из позиций в Волновахском районе. Они попали к оккупантам в плен. После чего одного из них расстреляли россияне, нарушив Женевские конвенции об обращении с военнопленными, что является тяжким международным преступлением.
“Я уже направил письма ООН и МККК. Действия международного сообщества и реакция должны быть здесь и сейчас! Преступления россиян нужно зафиксировать, а виновных – привлечь к ответственности!”. Необходимо давить на РФ, чтобы своевольная политика казней украинских пленных прекратилась!”, – подчеркнул Лубинец.
Также призвал граждан обращаться к омбудсмену, если стали свидетелем или имеют какую-либо информацию о нарушении прав граждан Украины, казни украинских военнослужащих. Работает горячая линия по номеру 0800 50 17 20.
Как рассказывал “Апостроф”, раньше у МИД Украины отреагировали на видео с казнью четырех военнопленных российскими оккупантами, опубликованном Associated Press.

Die Humboldt-Uni duldet die Besetzung eines Hörsaals durch propalästinensische Aktivisten nicht länger. Sie bittet die Polizei um Räumung.
Heute, 18:52 Uhr
Nach der Besetzung eines Saals der Berliner Humboldt-Universität (HU) durch propalästinensische Aktivisten hat die Polizei mit der Räumung begonnen. Die nach aktuellen Erkenntnissen bis zu 100 Personen in den Räumlichkeiten würden herausgeführt und ihre Personalien festgestellt, sagte ein Polizeisprecher. Es würden Strafverfahren wegen Hausfriedensbruchs und gegebenenfalls auch wegen Sachbeschädigung eingeleitet.
Der Hörsaal auf dem Campus Nord war nach Angaben einer HU-Sprecherin gegen 14 Uhr besetzt worden. Das Präsidium der Humboldt-Universität bat die Polizei um Räumung des Gebäudes, weil Fotos Sachbeschädigungen im Innenraum und an der Fassade zeigten.
Die Polizei ist nach den Worten des Sprechers mit 300 Einsatzkräften vor Ort. Bis ca. 18.30 Uhr hätten die Beamten 26 Personen aus dem Gebäude geführt. Widerstand hätten sie nach ersten Erkenntnissen nicht geleistet. Der Einsatz dauere an.

Die US-Regierung flog Migranten in ein berüchtigtes Gefängnis in El Salvador. Ein Richter sieht nun deutliche Anhaltspunkte für einen Rechtsbruch durch Trumps Regierung.
Heute, 18:51 Uhr
US-Präsident Donald Trumps Regierung hat nach Auffassung eines Richters mit Abschiebeflügen nach El Salvador mutmaßlich vorsätzlich gegen seine Anordnung verstoßen. Es bestehe ein hinreichender Anfangsverdacht, was den Weg für ein mögliches Strafverfahren wegen Missachtung des Gerichts gegen Mitglieder der Regierung eröffne. Hintergrund ist die Abschiebung von rund 200 Migranten – überwiegend aus Venezuela – nach El Salvador im März.
Die US-Regierung wirft den Männern vor, Mitglieder krimineller Banden zu sein, und ließ sie in das berüchtigte Hochsicherheitsgefängnis Cecot überstellen. Richter James Boasberg hatte jedoch zuvor angeordnet, die Abschiebungen vorerst zu stoppen, solange die rechtliche Grundlage dafür noch gerichtlich geprüft werde.

‘Miraculously unharmed’: American pastor kidnapped in South Africa rescued after deadly police shootout

0

‘Thank you for your support and prayers. Please do not stop praying for The Sullivans. Praise The Lord Jesus Christ!’
A kidnapped American pastor was rescued in South Africa following a deadly shootout at a house in the country’s Eastern Cape province, officials announced Wednesday.
The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (HAWKS) said an operation led by the agency “resulted in the successful rescue” of an American citizen, “reportedly a local pastor who had allegedly been kidnapped and held at a safe house in KwaMagxaki, Gqeberha, on 15 April 2025.”
Though the news release did not name the pastor, 34-year-old Josh Sullivan, of Tennessee, was kidnapped by several armed, masked men last week at his church in the Eastern Cape, Fellowship Baptist Church Motherwell.
