In a podcast on Monday, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that a future with human-level AIs is not far away. In fact, it might happen as soon as 2026.

The podcast was hosted by AI influencer Lex Fridman where Amodei was invited for an interview that went on for 5 hours. A lot of interesting topics were discussed, starting from Anthropic’s upcoming project to the timeline for superintelligent models and so on.

This behavior is driven by quantum entanglement, a phenomenon where the fates of individual electrons become intertwined.

Scientists have developed theoretical models describing quantum spin liquids for many years. However, creating these materials in a laboratory setting has been a challenge.

Researchers have developed a robot capable of performing surgical procedures with the same skill as human doctors by training it using videos of surgeries.

The team from Johns Hopkins and Stanford Universities harnessed imitation learning, a technique that allowed the robot to learn from a vast archive of surgical videos, eliminating the need for programming each move. This approach marks a significant step towards autonomous robotic surgeries, potentially reducing medical errors and increasing precision in operations.

Researchers from Baylor College of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine, and their collaborators have identified a novel compound called BHB-Phe, which is naturally produced by the body. Published in the journal Cell, their findings reveal that BHB-Phe regulates appetite and body weight by interacting with neurons in the brain.

Until now, BHB has been known as a compound produced by the liver to be used as fuel. However, in recent years, scientists have found that BHB increases in the body after fasting or exercise, prompting interest in investigating potential beneficial applications in obesity and diabetes.
