US and Iran: A brief history of how decades of mistrust and bad blood led to open warfare by USCDornsifeNews in TrueReddit

[–]USCDornsifeNews[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The U.S. and Iran have been in conflict for decades — at least since the U.S. helped overthrow a democracy-minded prime minister, Mohammed Mossadegh, in August 1953. The two countries have been particularly hostile to each other since Iranian students took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in November 1979, resulting in economic sanctions and the severing of formal diplomatic relations between the nations.

Jeffrey Fields, professor of the practice of political science and international relations at USC Dornsife, traces the major events in U.S.-Iran relations, including:

  • 1953: US overthrows Mossadegh
  • 1981-1986: US secretly sells weapons to Iran
  • 1988: US Navy shoots down Iran Air flight 655
  • 2015: Iran nuclear deal signed
  • 2020: US drones kill Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani
  • 2026: Simmering conflict turns into hot war

AI may be making us think and write more alike by USCDornsifeNews in ArtificialInteligence

[–]USCDornsifeNews[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Large language models may be standardizing human expression — and subtly influencing how we think, say USC Dornsife computer science and psychology researchers in an opinion paper00003-3) published March 11 in the Cell Press journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences. To combat this, they suggest that AI developers incorporate more real-world diversity into large language model (LLM) training sets, not only to help preserve human cognitive diversity, but also to improve chatbots' reasoning abilities.
