Web browser wars: Tech firms fight to offer the best search experience

Posted by in categories: business, robotics/AI

There is a new war happening online: the browser war. Tech companies everywhere are seeking to integrate AI in browsers in an attempt to please and attract users looking for the best possible search experience.

This is according to a new article by FOX Business published on Friday.

This phenomenon was amplified with Microsoft’s announcement earlier this year that it would roll out a new AI-powered version of its Bing search engine and Edge web browser that will incorporate OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

MIT scientists innovate to create more powerful and denser computer chips

Posted by in categories: information science, robotics/AI

“The new capability of low thermal budget growth on an 8-inch scale enables the integration of this material with silicon CMOS technology and paves the way for its future electronics application.”

With our pockets and houses filling with electronic gadgets and AI and Big Data fueling the rise of data centers, there is a need for more computer chips— more powerful, potent, and denser than ever.

These chips are traditionally made with boxy 3D materials bulky in nature, making stacking these into layers difficult.

Rare earth metal discovered for first time in our galaxy’s hottest exoplanet atmosphere

Posted by in category: space

Using an advanced method, researchers have discovered seven elements, including the rare substance terbium, which has never before been found in any exoplanet’s atmosphere.

Last week.

On the heels of the previous discovery, scientists have detected another element, Terbium, in an exoplanet’s atmosphere for the first time. Known as KELT-9, the exoplanet is said to be the galaxy’s hottest, orbiting its distant star about 670 light years from Earth.

Google, Microsoft, Amazon, & Meta put AI on steroids while cutting jobs

Posted by in categories: business, economics, employment, robotics/AI

The quarterly reports by these tech behemoths show their efforts to increase AI productivity in the face of growing economic worries.

The US tech giants like Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta are increasing their large language model (LLM) investments as a show of their dedication to utilizing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) while cutting costs and jobs.

Since the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot in late 2022, these businesses have put their artificial intelligence AI models on steroids to compete in the market, CNBC reported on Friday.

Viral: ChatGPT-AI, Google tech, give voice to Boston Dynamics’ robot dog

Posted by in categories: futurism, robotics/AI

“We can now ask the robots about past and future missions and get an answer in real-time.”

A team of programmers has outfitted Boston Dynamics’ robot dog, Spot, with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Text-to-Speech speech modulation in a viral video.

Santiago Valdarrama, a machine learning engineer, tweeted about the successful integration, which allows the robot to answer inquiries about its missions in real-time, considerably boosting data query efficiency, in a viral video on Twitter.

Scientists: The Human Brain Has Odd Similarities to the Entire Universe

Posted by in categories: humor, robotics/AI, space

An astrophysicist and a neurosurgeon walked into a room.

It may sound like the start of a horrible joke, but what a group of Italian academics came up with is a truly galaxy brain take: the structures of the observable universe, they claim, are startlingly similar to the neural networks of the human brain.

In a recent research published in the journal Frontiers in Physics, University of Bologna astronomer Franco Vazza and University of Verona neurosurgeon Alberto Feletti reveal the unexpected similarities between the cosmic network of galaxies and the complex web of neurons in the human brain. According to the researchers, despite being nearly 27 orders of magnitude distant in scale, the human brain and the makeup of the cosmic web exhibit similar levels of complexity and self-organization.

We’re still in the dark about a key black hole paradox

Posted by in categories: cosmology, information science, physics, singularity

Within a year, Karl Schwarzschild, who was “a lieutenant in the German army, by conscription, but a theoretical astronomer by profession,” as Mann puts it, heard of Einstein’s theory. He was the first person to work out a solution to Einstein’s equations, which showed that a singularity could form–and nothing, once it got too close, could move fast enough to escape a singularity’s pull.

Then, in 1939, physicists Rober Oppenheimer (of Manhattan Project fame, or infamy) and Hartland Snyder tried to find out whether a star could create Schwarzschild’s impossible-sounding object. They reasoned that given a big enough sphere of dust, gravity would cause the mass to collapse and form a singularity, which they showed with their calculations. But once World War II broke out, progress in this field stalled until the late 1950s, when people started trying to test Einstein’s theories again.

Physicist John Wheeler, thinking about the implications of a black hole, asked one of his grad students, Jacob Bekenstein, a question that stumped scientists in the late 1950s. As Mann paraphrased it: “What happens if you pour hot tea into a black hole?”
