SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
What product from your past would you love to see become available again? A new survey found that two-thirds of us would actually pay extra to have our fav “no longer available” products come back. The poll of 2,000 adults in the US found that the average person would pay a grand total of 32% more for the products that “ring those nostalgia bells” to become available again. Some of the products mentioned by respondents as ones they’d like to see return included: classic Atari, Sega, and Nintendo consoles, Crystal Pepsi, Banana Nesquik, Blackberry phones, iPods, Jolt soda, Surge soda, and Bubblegum Jeans. Over half agreed that items like these are more valuable to them than anything currently available.

OF THE DAY
A report says that men today are 3 times more likely to cry in public than their fathers were.
AI chatbots have been found to experience a form of “stress” when faced with distressing content. A new international study revealed that large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 demonstrate changes in their output patterns when processing traumatic information. Researchers also found that relaxation prompts can help “calm” these AI systems. To be clear, AI systems cannot and do not experience emotions, but the study used the term “anxiety” metaphorically to describe variations in how the model responds under different conditions.

WEIRD NEWS
A man who claims to own the world’s oldest cat says she just celebrated her 30th birthday – complete with birthday cake. Leslie Greenhough of Stockport UK believes his tortoiseshell kitty, named Millie, who was born in 1995, is the oldest living feline. Millie was first owned by Leslie’s late wife, who got her in 1995 – when the kitten was 3 months old. Leslie attributes the cat’s long life to “lots of treats, “cuddles on the sofa” and bottled water. To celebrate Millie’s 30th, Leslie had a cake made, featuring Millie’s face, and decorated it with 30 candles.
