Summary: A novel artificial intelligence system, the semantic decoder, can translate brain activity into continuous text. The system could revolutionize communication for people unable to speak due to conditions like stroke.
This non-invasive approach uses fMRI scanner data, turning thoughts into text without requiring any surgical implants. While not perfect, this AI system successfully captures the essence of a person’s thoughts half of the time.
A discussion of the fascinating concept of space folding as it is presented in the Dune legendarium. In order to fill the needs of the vast interstellar empire of Frank Herbert’s universe the mechanism of space-folding is heavily relied upon. This form of faster-than-light travel enables spaceships to traverse astronomical distances instantaneously, and has proven crucial in shaping its social, economic, and political dynamics. Spoiler warning if you are unfamiliar with Frank Herbert’s Dune.

The latest recruit at SpaceX is a software engineer who passed its “technically challenging” and “fun” interview process.
What’s different about Kairan Quazi is that he’s just 14 years old.
He said in a LinkedIn post on Thursday: “I will be joining the coolest company on the planet as a software engineer on the Starlink engineering team. One of the rare companies that did not use my age as an arbitrary and outdated proxy for maturity and ability.”
By imbuing enormous vectors with semantic meaning, scientists can get machines to reason more abstractly—and efficiently—than before.

Conversations About AI: Using it to transform the treatment of mental health and for the promotion of social good.
How can AI be used to help human mental health and address the social good? Aryan Pandey, a new guest contributor shows us.
The tool can be used for early diagnosis.
Scientists have conceived of a machine-learning model capable of detecting speech patterns that are linked to a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. The new tool will be used for early evaluation of the conditions.
This is according to a report by Global News published on Saturday…
Interesting Engineering is a cutting edge, leading community designed for all lovers of engineering, technology and science.
Scientists have demonstrated entanglement and two-particle interference with phonon using an acoustic beam splitter.
Phonons are to sound what photons are to light. Photons are tiny packets of energy for light or electromagnetic waves. Similarly, phonons are packets of energy for sound waves. Each phonon represents the vibration of millions of atoms within a material.
Both photons and phonons are of central interest to quantum computing research, which exploits the properties of these quantum particles. However, phonons have proven challenging to study due to their susceptibility to noise and issues with scalability and detection.
US Congress considering two artificial intelligence bills to address concerns surrounding the technology.
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to experience rapid growth, governments around the world have started to consider modifying policies and regulations around the technology.
US Senators yesterday introduced two separate bipartisan bills addressing AI to tackle issues surrounding the technology and to remain “competitive”, according to Reuters.
