It’s a revolutionary step forward for soft robotics.

A team of scientists from Edinburgh has engineered smart electronic skin that could pave the way for soft, flexible robotic devices with a sense of touch, according to a press release by the institution published last week.

The technology could aid in breakthroughs in soft robotics introducing a range of applications, such as surgical tools, prosthetics, and devices to explore hazardous environments.

Blake Lemoine, the Google engineer fired for violating the company’s confidentiality policy, has now expressed concerns about the risks associated with AI-driven chatbots like Microsoft’s Bing AI.

The latest AI models, according to him, are the most potent technological advancement since the atomic bomb and can alter the course of history fundamentally.

AI-powered robots will be a bigger business than cars, says the business magnet.

Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, has announced the company’s latest development in AI-powered robots during Tesla’s Investor Day event. Musk said the company’s robot, known as “Optimus,” may outnumber humans in the future. This news has created a buzz in the tech community, as many are eager to see how Tesla’s latest innovation will shape the future of automation.

Musk revealed that Tesla is making significant progress in developing its AI-powered robots. The robots, which will be called Optimus, are set to be deployed in the coming years and will be designed to handle various tasks, such as manufacturing and transportation… More.


Users can now pick if they want “creative” or “precise” responses.

Even as users make a beeline to get access to Microsoft’s artificial intelligence (AI) powered Bing chatbot, the company is adding on more features, such as giving the users the power to pick what personality type they would prefer to interact with.

Microsoft has partnered with ChatGPT-creator OpenAI to bring the conversational chatbot to its Bing search engine, among its other products. Given that the chatbot is still largely experimental, Microsoft is slowly making the service available to users. Yet, in a short span of time, it has amassed over a million users already.

The outlet claims to provide balanced reporting free of the “hidden agendas and biases” plaguing traditional news.

ChatGPT frenzy grows, following Buzzfeed and CNET, NewsGPT, the purportedly “world’s first” AI-generated “news channel,” has debuted.

NewsGPT aims to provide “unbiased” and “fact-based” news to viewers worldwide, with no reporters, according to Alan Levy, CEO of NewsGPT.

First Publicly Known. Expect to see most countries have one by 2030. In Charge, 2050s.


Romanians will be able to send their ideas through an accompanying website (ion.gov.ro) as well as on social media and some in-person locations. Ion will then synthesize their contributions for the government to consider, according to the coordinator of the research team, Nicu Sebe. Users won’t, however, receive a response from Ion itself.

Instead, Research and Innovation Minister Sebastian Burduja, whose office is overseeing the project, explained that Ion will analyze the information it receives and draw up reports about Romanians’ priorities.

My music score for Rotwang’s robot in the silent German expressionist film METROPOLIS by Fritz Lang. 1927.

This film had a major influence on me, but that would come later. When I saw it for the first time I was 9 years old. Little did I know, this scene in particular would haunt me to this day.

I tried to convey the feelings I had as a child, with this composition I call “Phantasmaglorious”; meaning frightening and darkly beautiful. A fitting tribute to Fritz Lang’s masterwork, Alfred Abel as Joh Fredersen, the Master of Metropolis and Rudolf Klein-Rogge as C. A. Rotwang the mad scientist who creates the spectre of my childhood nightmeres.

This movie is the definition of sublime.

Summary: Examining the cognitive abilities of the AI language model, GPT-3, researchers found the algorithm can keep up and compete with humans in some areas but falls behind in others due to a lack of real-world experience and interactions.
