Over Take Us, AI Friends!
WASHINGTON â President Joe Biden on Thursday amplified fears of scientists who say artificial intelligence could âovertake human thinkingâ in his most direct warning to date on growing concerns about the rise of AI.
Biden brought up AI during a commencement address to graduates of the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. while discussing the rapid transformation of technology that he said could âchange the characterâ of future conflicts.
As it contends with a slowdown in 737 Max deliveries at present, Boeing also has its eye on the future.
According to reports this week, the aerospace powerhouse is now the sole owner of Wisk Aero, the self-flying air taxi manufacturer it has been backing since 2019, alongside Google co-founder Larry Pageâs Kitty Hawk Corp. Kitty Hawk ceased operations last year but continued to invest in the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft developer.
Now, Boeing has reportedly acquired Kitty Hawkâs shares in Wisk, making it a wholly owned subsidiary, though Wisk CEO Brian Yutko said the air taxi enterprise will retain its independence. Yutko did not disclose the terms of the agreement.
The existence of life on planets orbiting stars akin to our sun doesnât necessarily require these stars to be exceptionally powerful.
Scientists have uncovered a possible âgiant planetâ orbiting a dying star, which could potentially support life in the future.
Researchers from University College London made the âstartlingâ discovery while studying a white dwarf, the glowing remnants of a star that exhausted its hydrogen fuel. Located about 117 light-years away, this star, known as WD1054-226, features a ring of planetary debris in its habitable zone, or Goldilocks zone, where temperatures might allow liquid water to exist on a planetâs surface.
Experiments show that the sticky behavior of so-called associative polymers is controlled by the density of bonding structures, contradicting theoretical predictions.
âI donât see how this pricing is anything based in reality or remotely reasonable.â
Apollo, the popular Reddit app for iOS, could face millions of dollars in fees as a result of Redditâs new paid API model. According to an update posted by developer.
Reddit announced changes to its API policy in April, which allows the platform to put limits on the number of API requests made by a third-party client like Apollo. But now, we have more details on what exactly this means: Selig says Reddit plans on charging about $12,000 per 50 million requests.
