Wikipedia: “With Folded Hands…” is a 1947 science fiction novelette by American writer Jack Williamson. Willamson’s influence for this story was the aftermath of World War II and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and his concern that “some of the technological creations we had developed with the best intentions might have disastrous consequences in the long run.”

The novelette, which first appeared in the July 1947 issue of Astounding Science Fiction, was included in The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume Two (1973) after being voted one of the best novellas up to 1965. It was the first of several Astounding stories adapted for NBC’s radio series Dimension X.

The story was followed by a novel-length rewrite, with a different setting and inventor. This was serialized, also in “Astounding” (March, April and May 1948), as “…And Searching Mind”, and finally published as “The Humanoids” (1948). Williamson followed with a sequel, The Humanoid Touch, published in 1980.

If your image of nuclear power is giant, cylindrical concrete cooling towers pouring out steam on a site that takes up hundreds of acres of land, soon there will be an alternative: tiny nuclear reactors that produce only one-hundredth the electricity and can even be delivered on a truck.

Small but meaningful amounts of electricity — nearly enough to run a small campus, a hospital or a military complex, for example — will pulse from a new generation of micronuclear reactors. Now, some universities are taking interest.

“What we see is these advanced reactor technologies having a real future in decarbonizing the energy landscape in the U.S. and around the world,” said Caleb Brooks, a nuclear engineering professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

“This is just the first step on the AI front…as [the] AI arms race takes place among Big Tech.”

Right on the heels of Google announcing Artificial Intelligence chatbot Bard, Microsoft has beefed up its search engine Bing with the latest AI sensation, OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

“Search has remained the same since the last major inflection,” Microsoft corporate VP Yusuf Mehdi said at the event on Tuesday announcing the update, adding that “the user experience is the same as 20 years ago.”

For almost two decades, Google’s search engine market has had a highly successful run, facing almost zero competition from rivals. That could all change with the new upgraded Bing and Edge browser that has integrated the same technology created by the developers of ChatGPT.

Unlike Bard, which is currently used only by trusted testers\.

Microsoft has launched an all new, AI-powered Bing search engine and Edge browser, available to all in preview now at Bing.com.

“If this technology finds an application in power generation, we may owe the hypersonic weapons a big ‘thank you,’” says a researcher.

A team of researchers from Beijing has created a generator “capable” of converting hot gas at hypersonic speeds into a powerful electric current.

The researchers claimed that the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) generator yielded more than ten times the power generated in previous experiments.

The electricity generated can be used to power military lasers, microwave weapons, rail guns, and other pulsed energy weapons, South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported on Thursday.
