Many visual artists have a signature style,as unique and identifiable as a fingerprint.For
Amoako Boafo,who often paints with his fingers,this seems doubly true.His distinctive paint
strokes(笔画)combine the complex skin tones of his chosen subjects,many of whom are,like
himself,Africanswithgloballifeexperiences
Boafo,whose first solo museum exhibition runs at the SeattleArt Museum,was born and
raised in Accra,Ghana,and moved to Vienna,Austria,in 2014,where he ran into difficulties,
with allergists unwilling to show his works due to his focus on Black figures.He continued
making an effort to create self-portraits(自画像)and people he knew or admired—African
people and Black people who have African ancestry,painting a community of sorts during a
time of hardship.He also developed his standout approach to figurative painting, which
combinesareasofbrightandnoticeablecolorwithhissoftanddeepfingerpainting.
He beganpostinghisartonlineandcaughtthe attentionofartistslike KehindeWiley,the
celebratedAmericanartist.Thewordstartedtospread.
Boafo is now a global art star,with numerous shows at galleries and art fairs,working
with fashion house Dior,and several paintings selling for over a million dollars.In 2021,with
three of his paintings being launched into space by Blue Origin,Jeff Bezos' Kent-based
spaceflightcompany,youmightevensayBoafohasrocketedtosuccess.
And yet a recent phone conversation with the artist from his studio in Accra,which is
onceagainhishomebase,revealedawell-manneredpersonwhoappreciatedhissuccesswhile
pointing out all of the luck and preparation that led to it.Seeing so many of his
paintings—created from 2016 to 2022—gathered together in an exhibition has helped him
remember that “I did not 'just happen.'I did not expect this success but I was hopeful and
readyforit.”
24.WhatmakesBoafo'spaintingsdifferentfromotherartists'works?
A.Hisfingerstrokes.
B.Hishomecountry.

Seafloor cables(光缆)carry over 95%of all digital data traffic worldwide,including
financial trading information and social media communications.However,how the Earth's
changing climate could impact this vast undersea network has been relatively understudied
untilnow.
In a new study published in Earth-Science Reviews,an international team of researchers
led by the UK's National Oceanography Centre(NOC)worked to illuminate this problem by
assessinghowandwherefutureclimatechangeislikelytoimpactsubseacables.
By analyzing published datasets,the researchers identified regional climate change "hots
pots"where threats to subsea cables may become more intense.These include areas in the
western Pacific where changes to tropical cyclone(热带气旋)intensity and frequency have
alreadyincreasedcabledamage.
“In our paper,we conducted the first comprehensive assessment of a range of
climate-related threats to seafloor cables across the globe and their landing stations,”says
studyco-authorThomasWah！.“Ouranalysisclearlystressestheneedtocarefullyplancable
routes and landing station locations factoring in a range of local threats and how those are
affectedbyclimatechange.”
When we look at Florida,there are at least 21 subsea telecommunications cables that
connect to the Florida coastline,North and South America and the Caribbean,meaning that
therewillbeabreakdownincommunicationsworldwideifacableisdamaged,theresearchers
say.
However,the study identifies the importance of assessing changing conditions,
particularly where multiple cable systems share a landing point,as they may be affected by
combinations of threats that affect the low-lying Florida coastline,such as sea level rise,and
changesinstormactivity.“Ourrelianceoncablesthatarenowiderthanagardenhose(软管)is
a surprise to many,who regard satellites as the main means of communication,”says lead
author Mike Clare,a researcher with NOC.“But satellites simply don't have the bandwidth to

For Kurt Gray,a social psychologist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill,
conducting experiments comes with certain problems.Before starting any study,his lab must
get ethical(伦理的)approval from an institutional review board,which can take weeks or
months.Then his team has to hire online participants—easier than bringing people into the
lab,butGraysays theonlinesubjectsareoftenlazy.Thentheresearchersspendhourscleaning
thedata.Butearlierthisyear,Grayaccidentallysawanalternativewaytodothings.
He was working with computer scientists at theAllen Institute forArtificial Intelligence
to see whether they could develop anAI system that made moral judgments like humans.But
firsttheyfiguredthey'dseeifasystemfromthestartupOpenAIcouldalreadydothejob.The
team asked GPT-3.5,which produces human-like text,to judge the ethics of 464 scenarios(情
境), previously evaluated by human subjects.It turned out that the system's answers were
nearlythesameashumanresponses.
“This is crazy,”Gray says.“If you can just ask GPT to make these judgments,why don't
you just ask GPT instead of asking people?”The results were published this month inTrends
inCognitiveScience.
Now,researchers are considering AI's ability to act as human subjects in fields such as
psychology, political science,economics,and market research.No one is yet suggesting that
catboats cancompletelyreplace humans inbehavioral studies.Buttheymay actas convenient
stand-ins(替代者)in pilot studies and for designing experiments,saving time and money.
Language models might also help with experiments that would be too impractical,or even
dangerous to run with people."It's a really interesting time,"says Ayelet Israeli,a marketing
