How to Get Better Results with AI & The Science of Healing Trauma

from Something You Should Know · host Mike Carruthers | OmniCast Media

Expiration dates aren’t always what they seem. While most packaged foods carry them, some foods — like salt — can last virtually forever. In fact, there’s a surprising list of everyday staples that can outlive the labels and stay good for years. Listen as I reveal which foods never really expire. https://www.tasteofhome.com/article/long-term-food-storage-staples-that-last-forever/ AI tools like ChatGPT are everywhere, but to use them well, you need more than just clear questions. The way you prompt, the way you think about the model, and even the way it was trained all play a role in the results you get. To break it all down, I’m joined by Christopher Summerfield, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at Oxford and Staff Research Scientist at Google DeepMind. He’s also the author of These Strange New Minds: How AI Learned to Talk and What It Means (https://amzn.to/4na3ka2), and he reveals how to get smarter, more effective answers from AI. When does a tough experience cross the line into “trauma”? And once you’ve been through trauma, is it destined to shape your future forever — or is real healing possible? Dr. Amy Apigian, a double board-certified physician in preventive and addiction medicine with master’s degrees in biochemistry and public health, shares a fascinating new way of looking at trauma. She’s the author of The Biology of Trauma: How the Body Holds Fear, Pain, and Overwhelm, and How to Heal It (https://amzn.to/4mrsoIu), and what she reveals may change how you view your own life experiences. Looking more attractive doesn’t always come down to hair, makeup, or clothes. Science has uncovered a list of simple behaviors and traits that make people instantly more appealing — and most of them are surprisingly easy to do. Listen as I share these research-backed ways to boost your attractiveness.https://www.businessinsider.com/proven-ways-more-attractive-science-2015-7 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!
