In 2017, the European Southern Observatory (ESO) obtained the first ever real photo of a black hole. Six years later, artificial intelligence was able to improve the image.
Here’s What We Know
American scientists have decided to improve the photo of a black hole. The original image shows something resembling a “fuzzy donut”. Experts have applied the PRIMO algorithm, based on machine learning, to improve the image.

In this video I discuss new atomically thin devices — atomristors — which are designed to accelerate computing to the next level!

According to Hackaday, “BioBootloader,” a programmer, created the program that can grant Python programs “regenerative healing abilities.” The program takes advantage of OpenAI’s GPT-4 multimodal AI language model, released in March and now accessible to ChatGPT Plus users and beta testers via an API. It performs text-processing activities, including authoring, language translation, and programming, using its “knowledge” of billions of documents, books, and webpages scraped from the internet.
Humane, a startup that is backed by OpenAI’s CEO and Microsoft, demoed its interface projecting device at TED 2023. Here’s a first look.
The plan: Ding could play a key role in helping China get its future lunar bases off the ground — his research team at HUST has designed several potential moon bases and developed technology that could be used to actually construct them on the moon.
One of those is the “Chinese Super Mason,” an autonomous robot designed to create structures out of bricks. Another is the bricks themselves — Ding’s team has come up with a LEGO-like design for the blocks, which it proposes to make using 3D printing, lasers, and lunar regolith.
They could get a chance to see their ideas put to the ultimate test as soon as 2028, as China reportedly plans to send a Super Mason to the moon to build a lunar brick as part of the Chang’e 8 mission, which is expected to launch in 2028.
To improve upon this technology, researchers created a souped-up MRI outfitted with a high-powered 9.4-tesla magnet. (For comparison, most MRIs are equipped with a 1.5-to 3-tesla magnet.) They also added gradient coils that are 100 times stronger than current models and are what create the images, as well as a high-speed computer that is as powerful as approximately 800 laptops, according to the statement.
After scanning the mouse brain, the researchers sent tissue samples to be imaged using a technique called light sheet microscopy, which allowed them to label specific groups of cells in the brain that were then mapped onto the original MRI. These additional steps provided a colorful view of cells and circuits throughout the brain, according to the statement.
The researchers took one set of MRI images that captured how the mouse’s brain-wide connectivity evolved with age. A second group of images showcased brilliantly colored brain connections that highlighted the deterioration of neural networks in a rodent model of Alzheimer’s disease, according to the statement.
Researchers should avoid the lure of proprietary models and develop transparent large language models to ensure reproducibility.
Alphabet Inc is combining Google Brain and DeepMind, as it doubles down on artificial intelligence research in its race to compete with rival systems like OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot.
The new division will be led by DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis and its setting up will ensure “bold and responsible development of general AI,” Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said in a blog post on Thursday (20 April).
Alphabet said the teams that are being combined have delivered a number of high-profile projects including the transformer, technology that formed the bedrock of some of OpenAI’s own work.
The first 2 minutes includes the best layman description of how ChapGPT works that I’ve heard yet:
Ready to blast off into a new world of gaming? In this exciting video, we’re taking AI to the next level as we install ChatGPT as a co-pilot in my SimPit game station. But this isn’t just your average AI installation — get ready for a hilarious space adventure as we explore the ups and downs of integrating ChatGPT into our gaming setup.
But before we launch into the fun, we’ll start by demystifying web APIs and explaining what AI is all about. Then, it’s time to dive into the installation process and see just how “easy” it is to set up ChatGPT as your very own AI co-pilot. You’ll learn all about the web APIs used to connect ChatGPT to your SimPit and get a firsthand look at the benefits of having an AI co-pilot by your side during gameplay.
