EVE Online is a massively multiplayer online game that is probably best known for articles about massive space battles with tens of thousands of players, or stories about in-game con men screwing over their allies after years of friendship. BUT! EVE online is interesting for a bigger reason though that is often overlooked, and that is its amazingly realistic economy. In this video, we explore one of the player nation-states and see how crazy realistic the economy of a video game about spaceships can be.

Advances in Artificial Intelligence, neuroscience and robotics have gotten us to a point where people might want to replace their biological limbs with robotic limbs due to there being more and more advantages with every passing day. Things like improved movement, intelligent controlling systems with the help of machine learning AI can help you control these limbs better than you could control your regular old arms, legs and hands.

But how long until we can finally live out our transhuman fantasies and become cyborgs? All this, and a bunch of new and futuristic scientific discoveries in this one review showcasing the most advanced AI Controlled Prosthetics.

A technique called ‘physical reservoir computing’ enabled it to make sense of the brain waves and dodge barriers. It’s the first time intelligence has ever been “taught” to a robot.

The world’s first ever ‘thinking’ robot has just been created.

Lab Grown Meat is finally here, and you’re able to buy it yourself to finally give it a try. The US Startup “Eat Just” released their cultured chicken nuggets to select store shelves in 2021 for everyone to try out.
Real Lab Grown Meat is finally here. Although currently, in a rather expensive fashion. Many food companies are now trying to give producing clean meats a try on their own.

Josh Tetrick new cultured meat company called Eat Just is the first company to sell cultured meats. Unlike Beyond Meats or Impossible Foods plant-based foods, their foods are actually made from animal cells and thus taste exactly the same as regular meat. But of course without the ethical and environmental concerns.

With the release of the most power Artificial Intelligence Accelerator Chip, future AI models like OpenAI’s GPT-4 will be able to surpass the Human Brain by supporting more than 100 Trillion Parameters. This new Chip made by Cerebras Systems is also be biggest Chip ever made by a longshot and thus can support ExaFlop Supercomputers for AI Model Training.

Cerebras Systems is an American semiconductor company with offices in Silicon Valley, San Diego, Toronto, and Tokyo. Cerebras builds computer systems for complex artificial intelligence and deep learning applications.

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly improving and has recently gotten to a point where it can outperform humans in several highly competetive job markets including the media. OpenAI and Intel are working on the most advanced AI Algorithms that are actually starting to understand the world similar to the way we experience it. They call these models: OpenAI CLIP, Codex, GPT 4 and other things which are all good at certain things. Now they’re trying to combine them to improve their generality and maybe create a real and working Artificial General Intelligence for our future. Whether AI Supremacy will happen before the singularity is unclear, but one thing is for sure: AI and Machine Learning will take over many jobs in the very near future.

Speaker:
James L. Burk.
Commander, MDRS Crew 261.
Executive Officer, MDRS Crew 197.
Director of IT & MarsVR, The Mars Society.
Former Senior Technical Project Manager, Microsoft.

Track Code: AM-2

Abstract:
James Burk will be the commander of MDRS Crew 261 composed of professional analog astronauts from the US, Canada, France and Belgium. As part of the preparation for MDRS Crew 261 (Dec 2021), our crew held a call for experiments across the space analog science community. We selected 10 experiments which run the gamut of the disciplines of medicine, chemisty, biology, robotics, sociology, psychology and human factors challenges for a human Mars mission. James will present our roster of experiments and our plan for executing them during our mission in December.

From the 24th Annual International Mars Society Convention, held as a Virtual Convention worldwide on the Internet from October 14–17, 2021. The four-day International Mars Society Convention, held every year since 1,998 brings together leading scientists, engineers, aerospace industry representatives, government policymakers and journalists to talk about the latest scientific discoveries, technological advances and political-economic developments that could help pave the way for a human mission to the planet Mars.

A huge gas giant’s yield of water and carbon dioxide could one day help us understand the atmospheres of planets closer to the size of Earth, scientists say.

Telescopic observations of a “hot Jupiter” gas giant, which is a huge planet hugging in close to its parent star, revealed the first-ever direct measurements of water and carbon monoxide in an exoplanet.

The planet is too close to its star to host life as we know it, and far too large besides. But you can think of this study as a practice round, as measuring gas abundance in a larger planet will help with figuring out how to do so with much smaller planets that are potentially habitable — those that are closer to Earth’s size and potentially able to host water on their surfaces.

Here comes another great month for stargazing. If you’ve been learning about the night sky during lockdown and paying attention to what goes on each evening in the skies above you may already have seen a bright naked-eye comet, a “Super Blood Moon” lunar eclipse and even a super-rare “great conjunction.”

Now get ready for some repeats—and some incredible new sights.

November will see a couple of meteor showers—the South and North Taurids—as well as the seventh planet, Uranus, at opposition. Those in North America may also get to see a big partial lunar eclipse on November 19 2021 and, if we’re all really lucky, our planet may just get treated to another rare sight as Comet Leonard pays us a visit. That’s due to look its best in December, but for now there’s plenty to get excited about in the November night skies … not least the return of the famous constellation of Orion “the hunter”.

Having machines turn text into speech is nothing new.

Professor Stephen Hawking communicated with a computerized voice for many years, and by now, we’re used to our GPS devices or smart speakers asking questions and responding to our queries.

What is different these days is that the quality of synthesized speech is improving, thanks to several companies using AI to create voice skins for enterprise companies and content creators that give more options for turning text into … See more.
