Artificial intelligence and computing power are advancing at an incredible pace. How smart and fast can machines get? This video explores the theoretical limits and cutting-edge capabilities in AI, quantum computing, and more.

We start by looking at the Landauer Limit — the minimum energy required to perform computation. At room temperature, erasing just one bit of information takes 2.85 × 10^−21 joules. This sets limits on efficiency.

YouTube channel Moore’s Law Is Dead leaked two new allegedly official AMD slides detailing key specifications and IPC targets for Zen 5 and Zen 6. The new slides report that Zen 5 will be a significant architectural overhaul over Zen 4, targeting 10 to 15% IPC improvements or more. Zen 5 will also reportedly incorporate 16 core CCXs for the first time. Before we go much further, we’ll need to sprinkle a healthy amount of salt on this report.

A new leak has revealed highly in-depth architectural details about AMD’s Zen 5 and Zen 6 CPU architectures, including core architectural improvements and IPC gains.

Repost, but if you know someone’s dealing with such, the information can help you and them. The suppressing of it can not help anyone.

Alzheimer’s disease varies widely in its age of onset, presentation, and severity. Recently, the SORL1 gene has received increased attention since variations in this gene have been associated with both early-and late-onset Alzheimer’s. However, little is known about how damage to SORL1 leads to disease.

Using stem cells from patients with Alzheimer’s, investigators from Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital found that loss of normal SORL1 function leads to a reduction in two key proteins known to be involved in Alzheimer’s and which play an essential role in the neurons of healthy individuals.

Their results, published in Cell Reports, suggest a potential strategy for Alzheimer’s disease treatment, especially for patients not responsive to existing therapies.

The last 2 questions and the answers are great. The first starts at 30 minutes. And I like his answer to the 2nd question especially, the time is 33:54. “What is giving me great hope is that we’re entering the phases where we have more than enough tools to get really get close to escape velocity.”

The transition to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) signifies more than a change in terminology; it represents a major leap in capabilities. It will take many years for AGI to be fully realized, but we are well underway in this evolution. In the meantime, most of the AI applications developed remain classified as NarrowAI.

Simply, AGI is any task that a human can do could be accomplished by general AI. It technically has all the potential of a human brain. It could tackle any problem or task in any area, whether it be music composition or logistics—all the potential actions humans can perform.

This article discusses General AI and highlights how the AI industry is unfolding advancing efforts to develop General AI.

You cannot read any newspaper, media report, or publication these days without a mention of AI and its impact to disrupting business in shaping new ways or working, augmenting human intelligence, or raising genuine fears of what have we unleashed in our societal structures.

IBM’s survey in 2022 predicted that the AI global adoption is already over 35 percent in using AI to modernize business practices and processes.

It’s already over a decade now since Oxford researchers, Carl Frey and Michael Osborne in their seminal research, declared that over 47 percent of jobs would disappear by 2030.

Even futurists like Kevin Kelly were warning back in 2016 that the Robots are Coming.

The Federal Court of Appeal in the USA has just ruled that Google is not covered by exemption for journalistic or artistic work.in a 2–1 court ruling, Google which drives more than 75% of internet searches in Canada, which opens the door for people to demand that their names in any articles are made unsearchable known as the right to be forgotten.

Valerie Lawton, a spokeswoman for the Office of the Canadian Privacy Commissioner, said it is pleased the court agreed with its position that Google’s search engine service is subject to federal privacy law. “This brings welcome clarification to this area of the law.”

This legal case was actually started in 2017 when a complaint to the Federal… More.

This article discusses the recent ruling that opens the door to the right to be forgotten challenging Google and supporting Privacy Legislation protect our privacy.

Educators just started recovering from the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some studies assess that the learning loss may never be recovered. However, a new challenge has crashed on the shores of education — AI — which could be even more impactful. In this post, we look at the challenges that AI brings to education, some ideas, and steps being taken.

A look at the newly announced Generative AI guidance from UNESCO, and others. An explanation of what they mean for application.

Some people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about their tendency to pick up and put down hobbies on a whim. They ask questions like:“Why do I feel so scattered, hopping from one interest to another?”

“Is it normal to want to learn so many things, or am I just avoiding commitment?”“Why do I feel like I’m not truly excelling in any one area despite my many pursuits?”

The pervasive cultural narrative has often celebrated specialization, making those with multifaceted interests feel out of place. Society has long valued depth over breadth, equating mastery in a single field with success and purpose. This has led to a collective anxiety: the fear of missing out on becoming an… More.

While we once frowned upon the “jack of all trades,” an array of hobbies might reveal a quest for a psychologically rich life—one that fosters depth, curiosity and growth.
