deserve no less.

TODAY

Myanmar protesters marked the second anniversary of the military coup with a
“silent strike.” Four suspects in the 2021 assassination of Haiti’s president
have been charged in the United States. An Iranian couple has been sentenced to
10 years in prison for dancing. And the makers of ChatGPT have launched a tool
to detect A.I. plagiarism. All this and more in today’s PDB.





IMPORTANT

Two Years On

COUP ANNIVERSARY SEES MYANMAR IN THE GRIP OF CIVIL WAR

In the two years since Myanmar’s military ousted the elected government of Aung
San Suu Kyi, the junta has cracked down on dissidents, imprisoned journalists
and executed pro-democracy activists. Human rights groups estimate 2,900 people
have been killed and more than 17,500 have been arrested — and accusations of
atrocities, like air strikes on schools, have become more frequent as clashes
with rebel groups have escalated into a civil war. Today protesters marked the
second anniversary of the coup with a “silent strike.” Photos on social media
showed nearly empty streets in capital Yangon as residents stayed home in
protest against military rule. (Sources: BBC, CNN, AP)

Offshore Justice

FOUR MORE SUSPECTS IN HAITI ASSASSINATION CHARGED IN US

A total of seven suspects in the July 2021 assassination of Haitian President
Jovenel Moïse are now in American custody, the U.S. Justice Department confirmed
Tuesday. Three Haitian Americans and a Colombian national, considered the
ringleaders of the plot, were transferred to Miami Tuesday and are due in court
today. The men had been held in detention in Haiti since shortly after Moïse’s
murder, but authorities decided to try them in the U.S. — on the grounds that
the plot was partly conceived in Florida — as the Caribbean nation’s government
institutions have crumbled in the years since the assassination. (Sources: Al
Jazeera, NYT)

Dancing in the Dark

IRANIAN COUPLE SENTENCED TO 10 YEARS FOR DANCING IN PUBLIC

Instagram influencers Astiaj Haghighi and Amir Mohammad Ahmadi were convicted of
“encouraging corruption and public prostitution” as well as “gathering with the
intention of disrupting national security” after they were filmed dancing near
Tehran’s Azadi (Freedom) Tower in November. In the viral video, Haghighi was not
wearing a head covering, in defiance of Iran’s strict dress code for women — who
are also not allowed to dance in public. Tehran has cracked down on dissent
since protests erupted over the death of Mahsa Amini in September: More than
14,000 people have been arrested and hundreds have been killed. (Sources: WaPo,

OK, Computer

MAKER OF CHATGPT RELEASES PLAGIARISM-DETECTION TOOL

Educators have grown increasingly concerned over students using ChatGPT — the
popular chatbot capable of producing detailed and articulate answers — since
OpenAI released it Nov. 30. Some districts have banned ChatGPT from classrooms,
while others are encouraging its use as a learning tool rather than a plagiarism
machine. On Tuesday the company launched its new AI Text Classifier to help spot
when text was produced by artificial intelligence. But OpenAI’s Jan Leike said
the tool “is imperfect and it will be wrong sometimes,” warning, “We don’t
fundamentally know what kind of pattern it pays attention to, or how it works
internally.” (Sources: The Verge, AP)

Briefly

HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT TODAY: 

Monkey business. Two emperor tamarins that went missing from the Dallas Zoo
Tuesday have been recovered from a closet in a nearby home. The zoo’s had a
spate of trouble recently as a clouded leopard escaped from a vandalized
enclosure and an endangered vulture was found dead under suspicious
circumstances. (Source: WaPo) Needle in a haystack. The missing radioactive
capsule that fell out of a truck in Western Australia has been found lying near
the side of the road. (Source: BBC) Just visiting? Former Brazilian President
Jair Bolsonaro has applied for a tourist visa to remain in the U.S. after he
entered the country on a special visa for heads of state two days before his
successor’s inauguration. (Source: The Guardian)





INTRIGUING

A.I. Phone Home

HAS A COLLEGE STUDENT’S MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHM FOUND ALIENS?

When Peter Ma was still in high school he started developing a new neural
network technique to scan space noise for “technosignatures” of intelligent life
— and now he’s found some. The University of Toronto undergrad’s algorithm
reexamined 150 terabytes of data from 820 nearby stars — data that was
previously analyzed by classical techniques and found to be “devoid of
interesting signals.” But Ma’s deep learning algorithm has already returned
eight signals of interest — and together with SETI and Breakthrough Listen, the
team is about to scale up their search to 1 million more stars using South
Africa’s MeerKAT telescope array. (Sources: Phys.org, Popular Science)

Life Finds a Way

‘DE-EXTINCTION’ STARTUP PLANS TO BRING BACK THE DODO

On Tuesday genetic engineering company Colossal Biosciences announced it has
secured $150 million in seed funding to resurrect the famously extinct
flightless bird — along with the woolly mammoth and the thylacine, or Tasmanian
tiger. Colossal, founded in 2021 by Harvard geneticist George Church and
entrepreneur Ben Lamm, aims to edit the genomes of living relatives of the
extinct creatures to create proxy species that would fill their empty ecological
niches. All three animals’ genomes have been sequenced, but “de-extinction” will
probably take years: It relies on technology that’s still being developed —
though it could eventually benefit human health care too. (Sources: Gizmodo,

Art Pollution

STUDY SUGGESTS IMPRESSIONIST PAINTINGS INSPIRED BY SMOG

Researchers have analyzed changes in style and color by Claude Monet and Joseph
Mallord William Turner during the Industrial Revolution, revealing that their
hazy skies may have been less a stylistic choice and more a reflection of
industrial air pollution. Using a mathematical model, researchers tracked
sharpness of outlines and levels of contrast in 60 Turner paintings and 38
Monets and found that their painted landscapes got hazier as sulfur dioxide
emissions increased. “Impressionism is often contrasted with realism,” study
co-author Peter Huybers said, “but our results highlight that Turner and Monet’s
impressionistic works also capture a certain reality.” (Source: WaPo)

Apex Predator

INFLUENCER FINED $18K FOR COOKING AND EATING GREAT WHITE SHARK

A food blogger in Nanchong, China, is in deep water after buying, cooking and
consuming a six-foot shark and broadcasting it to millions of followers. The
woman, username Tizi, said, “It may look vicious, but its meat is truly very
tender.” She then tore chunks from the carcass with her teeth. Great white
sharks are endangered in China and it’s illegal to kill, buy or eat them, and
Tizi has been fined $18,500. It’s unclear if she’ll face jail time — but
authorities may look higher up the food chain for the person who sold the
ill-fated shark online. (Source: Fortune)

Order on the Court

COACH BUSTED FOR IMPERSONATING 13-YEAR-OLD JV BASKETBALL PLAYER

A high school girls’ basketball program in Portsmouth, Virginia, has ended its
season early after it was discovered that a 22-year-old assistant coach suited
up and pretended to be an absent player. Arlisha Boykins, who took the court in
a junior varsity game against young teens on Jan. 21, has since been fired,
along with the varsity and JV coaches. The father of the impersonated
13-year-old said, “Coaches always preach to the kids about integrity and those
types of things, so I was just shocked.” He noted that his daughter won’t be
returning to Churchland High School next year. (Sources: USA Today, Yahoo
