Translatotron could perform speech-to-speech translation in your own voice, with no intermediate steps.
Summary: Researchers say hedonic value isn’t simply a biological and psychological mechanism, it’s also vital for our survival.

We humans, like other cognitive systems, are sensitive to our environment. We use sensory information to guide our behavior. To be in the world.

Mapping the Human Connectome

Creating a map of the most complicated terrain in the universe requires a host of special technologies.
Year 2021 Basically this could cure many diseases and even allow for better human devices to be created.
New devices — worn as headsets and backpacks — rely on optogenetics, in which bursts of light toggle neurons, to control mouse brain activity.

Welcome to our latest video on the future of artificial intelligence! In this episode, we’ll be exploring the question is.
AI a friend or an enemy, and will they be a potential threat to humanity?
On the one hand, AI has the potential to revolutionize many industries and make our lives easier. From self-driving cars to virtual assistants, AI has already made some incredible advancements in recent years.
On the other hand, there are valid concerns about the potential dangers of AI. Some experts have warned that AI could eventually surpass human intelligence and potentially even pose a threat to our very existence.
Lung cancer is the third most common cancer in the United States, following skin and breast cancers– with over two hundred and thirty-six thousand cases diagnosed in 2022 alone, according to the American Cancer Society. The most significant risk factor includes smoking, with eighty to ninety percent of all lung cancer deaths being linked to smoking in the U.S. Other contributing factors include secondhand smoke, the inhalation of radon– a naturally occurring gas– and familial history of lung cancer.
Alpha Centauri, here we come.
However, while technology has indeed advanced a long way since the 1940s, it still seems like we are still a long way from having a fully functional von Neumann machine. That is unless you turn to biology. Even simple biological systems can perform absolutely mind-blowing feats of chemical synthesis. And there are few people in the world today who know that better than George Church. The geneticist from Harvard has been at the forefront of a revolution in the biological sciences over the last 30 years. Now, he’s published a new paper in Astrobiology musing about how biology could aid in creating a pico-scale system that could potentially explore other star systems at next to no cost.
“Pico-scale” in this context means weighing on the order of one pico-gram. Since the smallest operational satellite ever created so far weighed a mere 33 grams, scaling that down to 10–12 times that size might sound ambitious. But that’s precisely what biological systems could potentially do.
Artificial intelligence can now make better art than most humans. Soon, these engines of wow will transform how we design just about everything.
