A.I. can radically lengthen your lifespan, says futurist Ray Kurzweil.
Adapted from the new book The Singularity is Nearer: When We Merge With AI by Ray Kurzweil.
New technique brings frozen brain tissue back to life without harm
Fudan University scientists discover a method to freeze and thaw human brain tissue, retaining its functionality.
In Video, Godfather of AI Said He Was in Favor of AI Replacing Humankind - And he doubled down on his position when asked to elaborate."
During an MIT talk, AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton seemed to endorse the concept of superintelligent AI replacing humanity.
AI reveals that elephants may have individual names for each other.
Machine learning and careful observation suggest that some of the animals’ calls are specific to individuals, similar to a person’s name.
In fairness the rethinkx people are doing a better job than most in drawing attention to this issue.
However, I still think the term cowardice is merited, and not just for them.
We constantly hear Silicon Valley types talk about disruption like this, but they're always afraid to follow through. with logical conclusions I think its because they know, only two choices are some sort of socialism, or chaos.
It makes them frauds as well as cowards. On the one hand taking billions from private investors for AI; with the other hand creating a world where the stock market probably won't exist, or will survive as a shrunken relic.

Med-Gemini has bested GPT-4, achieving an exceptional 91.1% accuracy in medical diagnostics.
Google Research and Google’s AI research lab, DeepMind, have detailed the impressive reach of Med-Gemini, a family of advanced AI models specialized in medicine. It's a huge advancement in clinical diagnostics with massive real-world potential.
A new robotic hand can withstand being smashed by pistons or walloped with a hammer. It was designed to survive the trial-and-error interactions required to train AI robots
Scientists are harnessing cells to make new types of materials that can grow, repair themselves and even respond to their environment. These solid "engineered living materials" are made by embedding cells in an inanimate matrix that's formed in a desired shape. Now, researchers report in ACS Central...
Some US politicians are moving to ban lab grown meat.
The debate around “woke meat” evokes both safety concerns and the threat to traditional farming if alternative proteins take off.
Scientists trained an AI system to think before speaking with a technique called QuietSTaR. The inner monologue improved common sense reasoning and doubled math performance.

With AI-designed proteins on the horizon, concerns about their possible weaponization have surfaced. Researchers are emphasizing the importance of safety guidelines to govern the ethical use of these
AI tools that can come up with protein structures at the push of a button should be used safely and ethically, say researchers in the field.
Trust in AI is declining across the world.
Trust in artificial intelligence (AI) companies has dipped to 35 percent over a five-year period in the U.S., according to new data. The data, released Tuesday by public relations firm Edelman, fou…
Google launches Claude 3 and says its more powerful than GPT-4.
Anthropic on Monday debuted Claude 3, a chatbot and suite of AI models that it calls its fastest and most powerful yet.
What’s next for robotaxis in 2024 - In addition to restoring public trust, robotaxi companies need to prove that their business models can compete with Uber and taxis.

The problem is feeding them crap will keep them low IQ. Most parents want the highest quality educational content instead.
Here lies the internet, murdered by generative AI- Corruption everywhere, even in YouTube's kids content

Adobe previews ‘Photoshop of music’ - new cutting-edge generative AI tools for crafting and editing custom audio.
Read more about new tech from Adobe Research in development that allow creators to generate music from text prompts, and then have fine-grained control to edit that audio for their precise needs.
Can new legislation protect us from the companies building tech to read our minds?

with the safety flag happily waving...........fled the scene.
Anthropomorphising much? Its like saying a toaster that broke down turned on you in a hissy fit.
This idea seems economically illiterate. In a world where humans don't earn money, how do we have a stock market supporting these valuations?
Maybe I'm paranoid, but why does my mind straight away go to all the nefarious ways this could be used. Creative criminals and intelligence agencies could find many uses for this technology when it matures.
They are made from a biological substrate with metal magnetic components. It means they are highly controllable in water tanks via magnetic fields. They won't be out in the wild.
I think we’re going to have to pit AIs against one another in another web of complexity in order to reach AGI.
I don't know if its going to be the route to AGI, but what you are describing is already happening.
There's Microsoft’s AutoGen framework & OpenAI next month say they too will have AI Agents for Chat-GPT
Just AI. The distinction being that an AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is a theoretical superintelligence capable of any intellectual task, including coding to improve itself.
Here's a video showing this model of robot in action.
It will be interesting to see what capabilities these have, and how trainable they will be. They look like they can do simple warehouse work, but will they be much more capable than that?
Any human work of art is made by an artist who is synthesizing other's past work they've absorbed. If I write a murder-mystery crime novel set in 1930s England, it would be hard to avoid some influence of Agatha Christie's. Does it mean I'm stealing from her?
There's a separate issue of AI taking jobs, which is very real, but will probably need something like Basic Income to deal with on a society-wide level.
I'm grateful for the EU. They're setting the standards for consumer protection and making things happen.
I'm very excited about kinetic gun type launch tech. Its way to harsh for humans, but it could get cargo to space very cheaply. If that were true the building blocks for a huge space station suddenly become much more economically feasible.
I'd be more excited to see treatments that altered DNA commercialized. I'm sure its coming, the question is when.
