Artificial intelligence models are being used to try to predict the future of artificial intelligence research. Thankfully, none of them say we are due an AI apocalypse.
There is a lot of uranium in seawater, but it is difficult to extract. A new gel may make marine uranium extraction economically feasible.
So, today we are releasing the Crossmodal 3,600 dataset, which provides 261,375 reference captions in 36 languages for a geographically diverse set of 3,600 images.
Introducing: The Synthetic Party, a new political party in Denmark that hopes to soon have a parliament seat. Oh, and by the way, its head honcho, Leader Lars, is actually an AI chatbot, and all of its policies are AI-derived. Cool?
Asker Staunæs, the creator of the party and an artist-researcher at the nonprofit art and tech organization MindFuture, told Motherboard that Leader Lars is specifically trained on policies formed by post-1970 Danish fringe parties — and thus, he says, the party is designed to collectively represent the roughly 20 percent of present-day Danish voters whose parties remain unrepresented in parliament.
“We’re representing the data of all fringe parties, so it’s all of the parties who are trying to get elected into parliament but don’t have a seat,” Staunæs told the site. “So it’s a person who has formed a political vision of their own that they would like to realize, but they usually don’t have the money or resources to do so.”
How will we interact with computers in a few years? Probably very differently than we do today. One developer gives a taste by linking three AI systems for a digital design assistant.
For his AI-based design assistant, Twitter user Progen links three AI systems: the open-source image AI Stable Diffusion for image generation, OpenAI’s Whisper, also open source, for translating spoken words into English, and GPT-3 for dialogs with the assistant.

That isn’t to say we’ve yet reached a decentralized utopia. Though decentralized systems are also ostensibly “trustless” systems, it is ironically trust that still must be built up in these systems for both developers and users. Whatever the disadvantages of relying on companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Apple, they have banked decades’ worth of that trust, credibility and familiarity that makes it difficult for both developers and users to switch to an entirely new way of doing things.
Nekton.
The discovery is expected to result in enhanced safeguards for the marine life and fisheries in this special region, according to a press release published on Tuesday by Nekton.
Google is now only showing the site name in mobile search results that are for the entire website, such as for the home page.
