Check out all the on-demand sessions from the Intelligent Security Summit here.

Hyperbole aside, we have only scratched the surface of what the new technology may eventually become. ChatGPT has the markings of artificial narrow intelligence (ANI). That is, AI that is designed to perform specific tasks.

New models shed light on life’s origin

Posted by in categories: biological, chemistry, space

The first signs of life emerged on Earth in the form of microbes about four billion years ago. While scientists are still determining exactly when and how these microbes appeared, it’s clear that the emergence of life is intricately intertwined with the chemical and physical characteristics of early Earth.

“It is reasonable to suspect that life could have started differently—or not at all—if the early chemical characteristics of our planet were different,” says Dustin Trail, an associate professor of and environmental sciences at the University of Rochester.

But what was Earth like billions of years ago, and what characteristics may have helped life to form? In a paper published in Science, Trail and Thomas McCollom, a research associate at the University of Colorado Boulder, reveal key information in the quest to find out. The research has important implications not only for discovering the but also in the search for life on other planets.

Mysterious Company is Creating Human Robots (Sanctuary AI)

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

A rather mysterious AI startup is claiming to be working on the smartest Robot AI ever made which could even rival humans in some areas. The company is called Sancutary and is a direct competitor to the soon-to-be announced Tesla Bot Optimus. It’s pretty obvious the AI and Robot Race is heating up with more awesome and crazy technology coming out very quickly.

A mind-blowing explanation of the speed of light | Michelle Thaller | Big Think

The only things that travel at the speed of light are photons. Nothing with any mass at all can travel at the speed of light because as it gets closer and closer to the speed of light, its mass increases. And if it were actually traveling at the speed of light, it would have an infinite mass. Light does not experience space or time. It’s not just a speed going through something. All of the universe shifts around this constant, the speed of light. Time and space itself stop when you go that speed.

How to make a black hole | NASA’s Michelle Thaller | Big Think

How to make a black hole.

There’s more than one way to make a black hole, says NASA’s Michelle Thaller. They’re not always formed from dead stars. For example, there are teeny tiny black holes all around us, the result of high-energy cosmic rays slamming into our atmosphere with enough force to cram matter together so densely that no light can escape.

Why Carl Sagan believed that science is a source of spirituality

Posted by in categories: biological, ethics, evolution, law, science

Yes, the world has some serious problems, but if we did not have problems, we would never be forced to find new solutions. Problems push progress forward. Let’s embrace our ultimate existential challenges and come together to solve them. It is time to forget our differences and think of ourselves only as humans, engaged in a common biological and moral struggle. If the cosmic perspective, and the philosophy of poetic meta-naturalism, or some similar world-view of evolution and emergence, can build a bridge between the reductionist worldview and the religions of the world, then we can be optimistic that a new level of order and functionality will emerge from the current sea of chaos.

Knowledge is enlightenment, knowledge is transcendence, and knowledge is power. The tendency toward disorder described by the second law requires that life acquire knowledge forever, giving us all an individual and collective purpose by creating the constraint that forces us to create. By becoming aware of our emergent purpose, we can live more meaningful lives, in harmony with one another and with the aspirations of nature. You are not a cosmic accident. You are a cosmic imperative.

Scientists Grew Mini Human Guts Inside Mice

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, engineering

The organoids can be used to study the development of diseases and the effects of drugs.

Michael Helmrath, a pediatric surgeon at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, and his colleagues made headlines last week when they revealed trials where they had transplanted balls of human intestinal tissue into mice, according to a report by *Wired* published on Thursday.

After a few weeks, these transplants developed key features of the human immune system, introducing a model that could be used to effectively simulate the human intestinal system.
