A nice recovery for $BTC and altcoins… still a long way to go, but at least headed in the right direction. Ideally, a break above $60K. On the other hand, a rejection at $57K to $58K is also a likely scenario we have to keep in mind. #cent
Many things in life go through phases. It can be like the seasons: spring, summer, fall, winter. Each season has its own set of needs and demands.
Think about something important to you. Maybe it's a project or a job. Perhaps a hobby or even a relationship. What season are you in right now and what does that season require?

I just opened my mobile notes to write an article for today and saw a note I had written in the early morning when I woke up temporarily from sleep. I wrote about a dream at that time because I knew I would forget about it later and I forgot about it. I have written some key words to describe the dream and as well as I can remember I lost all of my teeth in an accident. It was horrible to see me losing all of my teeth suddenly. Thank god that it was just a dream.

Apple banks on AI to boost sales of new iPhone 16
With business slumping, Apple has been under pressure to show what it will offer buyers to jumpstart a new wave of iPhone sales.
On Monday, the US Department of Justice's next monopoly trial against Google started in Virginia—this time challenging the tech giant's ad tech dominance.
The trial comes after Google lost two major cases that proved Google had a monopoly in both general search and the Android app store. During her opening statement, DOJ lawyer Julia Tarver Wood told US District Judge Leonie Brinkema—who will be ruling on the case after Google cut a check to avoid a jury trial—that "it’s worth saying the quiet part out loud," AP News reported.
"One monopoly is bad enough," Wood said. "But a trifecta of monopolies is what we have here."
The dream of hurtling between European cities at speeds of more than 700 kilometres per hour moved a step closer Monday with the first successful vehicle tests at the European Hyperloop Centre.
hough a private company, Felix International (“OnlyFans”) is a UK company and therefore required to publicly disclose certain information pertaining to its business and operations. And while these disclosures are limited, they reveal enough about the OnlyFan’s revenues, profits, scale, defensibility, reach, and impact to say that it is probably the most successful UK company founded since DeepMind in 2010, and the most significant media platform founded since TikTok (via Musical.ly in 2014), and dedicated creator economy platform… ever
Prompt: "I have an LLM program that always finetunes itself on the data in my server. I want to feed it as much valuable information from my own language as possible. I can only put text files in my server, and not actual datasets. The LLM is based on Llama3.x. If I want everything to provide to it to be valuable and accurate, where I should and how?"
To ensure that the information provided to your LLM is valuable and accurate, consider the following steps:
1. Curate the Text Sources
Domain-Specific Texts: Include texts that are highly relevant to your domain or area of expertise. These can be articles, research papers, or technical documentation in your language. For example, if your platform focuses on specific industries or services, compile relevant documents.
Quality Control: Ensure the text comes from reputable and verified sources to avoid feeding the model with inaccuracies or biases.
Clean the Texts: Before putting them in the server, make sure to remove irrelevant content (e.g., advertisements, footnotes, repeated sections). You can use text-cleaning scripts to automate this process.
Structured Information: Segment texts into structured categories (e.g., tutorials, conversational dialogues, FAQs). This allows the LLM to better learn from the context and purpose of each text.
3. Diversity and Variety
Language Variety: Provide a broad spectrum of writing styles, such as formal, informal, technical, and creative writing, to help the model learn from different registers of language use.
Different Formats: Include different types of documents such as blog posts, essays, conversations, and narratives. This makes the model more versatile in understanding and generating various text types.
Native Language Content: If the goal is to strengthen the model in your own language, include as much native language content as possible, such as cultural books, literature, websites, and social media dialogues.
5. Regular Updates
Dynamic Content: Continuously add new, updated, and relevant information from credible sources to ensure the LLM stays updated with current knowledge in your domain.
6. Monitor the Finetuning
Track Performance: Regularly evaluate the LLM’s outputs after it finetunes on new data to ensure that the quality and accuracy remain high. You can create benchmark tasks for this purpose.
Yes I have used it. It is a nice feature to have added. Congratulations to @ahmadmanga on creating that one. I think it is running on @mightpossibly server. So kudos to both of them.

Google has once again lost in its bid to overturn a 2017 antitrust decision by the European Commission.
Google has once again lost in its bid to overturn a 2017 antitrust decision by the European Commission. The bloc found its shopping comparison service had broken competition rules — hitting Alphabet, Google’s parent, with an at-the-time record-breaking €2.42 billion penalty (around $2.7 billion at current exchange rates) and ordering changes to how it operates the service.
Google appealed the decision and, in November 2021, the General Court of the European Union largely dismissed the challenge. It confirmed that self-preferencing its own shopping service in general search results was anti-competitive, harming rival shopping comparison services, and upholding the Commission’s penalty. However, the Court did find the Commission had not established that Google’s conduct could have had anticompetitive effects on the market for general search services as a whole — hence annulling that portion of the finding.
Google appealed against the EU’s decision a second time, petitioning the EU’s highest court — the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) — which on Tuesday handed down another ruling that won’t be to the search giant’s liking.
The CJEU agreed with the General Court’s analysis. “[I]n light of the characteristics of the market and the specific circumstances of the case, Google’s conduct was discriminatory and did not fall within the scope of competition on the merits,” the court wrote in a press release.
Commenting on the Google Shopping case at a press conference this morning local time, the EU’s competition chief Margrethe Vestager dubbed it “a landmark in the history of regulatory actions against Big Tech companies”. “It was one of the first significant antitrust cases brought by a competition agency against a major digital company and I think this case marked a pivotal shift in how digital companies were regulated and also perceived,” she suggested.
In further remarks on the CJEU ruling, she said: “The Court of Justice confirms that, in certain circumstances, the favorable treatment of its own services by a dominant company can be a breach of Article 9(2) of the European treaty. This important judgment validates the Commission’s approach to such practices.
“We call them self preferencing. Of course a dominant company, as any other company, are free to innovate in all fields but in doing so they should compete on the merits of their innovation. However, they cannot lean on the competitive advantage that they hold because of their market power.”
“Going forward, the Commission will, of course, make sure that the principle enshrined in this judgment — which is now final — is upheld to the benefits of all European consumers,” she added.
A copy of the now-deleted Monero tracing video was shared with Cointelegraph, and it suggests the firm can trace XMR transactions and associated IP addresses.
Online platforms have now overtaken TV for the first time as the most popular resource for news among adult consumers, at 71% versus 70%, according to new research.
The newspaper business has been in the middle of a long and slow decline thanks to the rise of the internet. Now some new research out of the U.K. lays bare how TV news is facing a similar fate.
Online platforms have now overtaken TV for the first time as the most popular resource for news among adult consumers, at 71% versus 70%, according to new research from U.K. communications regulator Ofcom.
This is a significant shift. Not only has TV dominated news for more than 60 years (a period when it overtook newspapers in popularity for news; that was the first blow for broadsheets), but also as online platforms replace broadcasters (and newspapers), the news they carry comes from a much wider set of sources. That’s both a blessing for having more viewpoints and a curse for being significantly harder to vet for accuracy — and consumers are concerned that this will only get worse with the growth of AI.
Ofcom’s larger conclusions may not be a surprise: Newspapers have been in trouble for decades; TV has faced pressure from streaming and online media in other categories like entertainment for years; and AI has a lot to answer for in areas like deepfakes and misinformation. But the research is significant because it gives statistics to how usage is shifting, and Ofcom said it will use the conclusions to help determine what to focus its regulation on in the years ahead.
“Television has dominated people’s news habits since the ’60s, and it still commands really high trust,” said Yih-Choung Teh, Ofcom’s group director for strategy and research, in a statement. “But we’re witnessing a generational shift to online news, which is often seen as less reliable — together with growing fears about misinformation and deepfake content. Ofcom wants to secure high-quality news for the next generation, so we’re kicking off a review of the public service media that help underpin the U.K.’s democracy and public debate.”
Ofcom has been running annual surveys on news consumption since 2017. This year it canvassed over 5,000 adults both online and face-to-face.
Even as online news as a broader category continues to have a disruptive force in the media market, getting online if you’re a publisher is not exactly a panacea. Online news outlets are also seeing their audiences get eroded by newer kids on the block: Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and X/Twitter all make the list of top 10 news sources in the survey.
Swiggy is considering boosting the fresh issue component of its IPO by $150 million, targeting a total of $1.4 billion.
Indian food delivery startup Swiggy is considering increasing the fresh issue component of its initial public offering by $150 million, aiming to raise a total of up to $1.4 billion in what is shaping up to be one of the largest public listings in India this year.
The Bengaluru-headquartered startup will ask shareholders to approve raising up to ₹50 billion ($600 million) through a fresh issue of shares, up from the previously planned $450 million, according to a 15-page notice for a meeting with shareholders that was filed late last week.
Cambridge University spinout CardiaTec is striving to tackle cardiovascular diseases, one of the world's leading causes of death, with AI.
While artificial intelligence (AI) promises to transform all manner of industries, the biggest game-changing breakthroughs in this new era of data-infused machine intelligence arguably lies in the field of drug discovery. By analyzing vast amounts of biological data, AI can help researchers predict how different chemical compounds will interact with specific targets in the body, accelerating the discovery of promising drug candidates.
It’s against this backdrop that Cambridge University spinout CardiaTec is striving to tackle cardiovascular diseases (CVD). To bolster its efforts, the company today said it has raised $6.5 million in a seed round of funding.
CVDs are the preeminent cause of death globally, resulting in 17.9 million deaths each year, according to The World Health Organization (WHO). At the top of the list is ischaemic heart disease (coronary heart disease), responsible for 13% of the world’s total deaths.
Founded in 2021, CardiaTec is the handiwork of biotech and bioengineering graduates Raphael Peralta (CEO) and Thelma Zablocki (COO). They’re supported by their third co-founder and CTO, Namshik Han, a lecturer in AI drug discovery at the University of Cambridge, where Peralta and Zablocki studied for an MPhil in Bioscience Enterprise. Han, who has a background in machine learning, computational biology, cancer genomics, and cancer epigenomics, is also head of AI at the university’s Milner Therapeutics Institute, which forges close ties with industry, including pharmaceutical companies.
“He (Han) is an academic who sits on the border with industry, so he understands that translational perspective,” Peralta told TechCrunch in an interview. “We came together with the opportunity to use Namshik’s work, but within the cardiovascular space.”
CardiaTec is tackling the crux of the problem: The average expense of progressing a drug candidate from discovery through launch is around $2.2 billion, and that cost is driven substantively by the fact that 90% of potential candidates fail in the process, according to Deloitte. CardiaTec is setting out to “decode” the biology of CVDs.
It's the first of three missions that billionaire Jared Isaacman purchased from SpaceX in 2022 for his human spaceflight effort known as the Polaris Program.
SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission launched on Tuesday from Florida on a Falcon 9 rocket, which carried the Dragon capsule "Resilience" into orbit.
It's the first of three missions that billionaire and Shift4 founder Jared Isaacman purchased from SpaceX in 2022 for his human spaceflight effort known as the Polaris Program.
The multi-day trip isn't headed to a destination like the International Space Station, but instead is a free-flying mission tracing orbits that the crew hopes will go far from Earth.
As a centerpiece to the mission, the crew will attempt to perform the first-ever SpaceX spacewalk. Extravehicular activities, or EVAs, have been a regular part of government astronauts missions but no private venture has attempted an EVA before. The EVA is expected to last two hours long from start to finish.
DirecTV's pay TV customers lost access to Disney's networks, including ESPN, last week.
Millions of DirecTV customers missed the NFL's opening "Monday Night Football" game on ESPN as the company has yet to reach a deal with network parent Disney.
Disney's TV networks went dark on Sept. 1 for DirecTV's customers amid a carriage battle over fees and bundling. Those networks include pay-TV channels ESPN and FX, as well as broadcast network ABC in some markets.
Disney and DirecTV did not reach a deal in time for "Monday Night Football," a 32-19 San Francisco 49ers victory over the New York Jets. However, negotiations are still ongoing and a deal could come as early as this week, people familiar with the matter said.
The satellite and streaming company called Disney anti-consumer as DirecTV is pushing for an option in which it could create genre-specific bundles, such as kids, entertainment and news, which Disney opposes.
As a result of the fight, DirecTV customers were unable to see the U.S. Open and the first full weekend of the college football season.
Live sports continue to attract big audiences and, in turn, high media rights deals, which in turn have created some of the most expensive networks on TV. ESPN is said to reap some of the highest fees paid by pay-TV companies to carry the network and its sister channels, CNBC previously reported.
Smartcat, a Boston-based startup providing AI-powered translation services, has raised $43 million in a funding round.
Can AI ever fully replace translators? Not likely. AI translations tend to lack the lexical richness of their human-translated counterparts, mainly because AI models make choices based on probability — not lived experience. Certainly, AI can produce “accurate” translations, but the translations lack the spice of life, like a textbook version of the source text.
For many companies, accuracy is all that’s required, making the AI translation sector an attractive one. Smartcat, founded in 2016, is among the vendors providing automated translation tools geared toward enterprises, and its co-founder and CEO, Ivan Smolnikov, says business is good.
“We have over 1,000 corporate customers, including 20% of the Fortune 500,” he told TechCrunch. “While most of Smartcat’s clients are large global enterprises, we also count many local and international government entities among them.”
Before founding Smartcat, Smolnikov was a physicist at the Russian Academy of Sciences, where he researched fiber optics materials. After two years in the lab, Smolnikov decided to try his hand at entrepreneurship, founding the language services company ABBYY LS.
It’s at ABBYY where Smolnikov incubated Smartcat, in fact, which spun out as an independent entity in 2016. Smolnikov left ABBYY, where he was a board member at the time, the same year.
Form3, a startup building tools to connect financial players with each other to enable account payments, has it raised $60 million to continue expanding.
The global economy remains in a sticky spot, in the words of the International Monetary Fund. Understandably, banks and other financial players are therefore looking to do what they can to bring down operating costs while spurring more financial activity.
Today, Form3, one of the startups building tools to do just that by connecting financial players with each other to enable account payments, said it raised $60 million to continue expanding its business.
British Patient Capital is making the investment, which closes out Form3’s Series C at $220 million. Others in the round include a mix of notable strategic and financial investors such as Visa, Goldman Sachs, MasterCard, Barclays, Molten Ventures and 83North. Sources familiar with the matter told TechCrunch that the startup is valued in the region of $570 million post-money.
A lot of fintechs wade into the market with disruptive mentalities — they are outsiders who see what is broken and are inspired to fix it. Form3 has slightly different DNA.
The Threads team is not yet working on a separate inbox or a direct messaging system for the social network, despite user demands and will continue to use
The Threads team is not yet working on a separate inbox or a direct messaging system for the social network, despite user demands and will continue to use Instagram inbox. However, the company might make it easier to send messages to Instagram right from the Threads app.
App researcher Adwaith Varma posted on Threads an unreleased Threads feature, highlighting a new messaging button on users’ profiles. When tapping that button, users could see a text box and a send button to send a message to someone’s Instagram inbox quickly.
Threads confirmed to TechCrunch that this was a public test with a limited set of users, and it is not active anymore. However, this means the company might bring some features to at least initialize messaging directly from Threads.
At this moment, the only option to message a user privately is to tap on the Instagram icon on their profile and send a message through the Instagram inbox.
Threads is still heavily integrated with Instagram, which is not ideal for users with private profiles. Instagram DMs are also not a good option for contacting someone if the person is not very active on that particular social network.
This move contrasts with its rivals, X and Bluesky. X/Twitter has had a direct messaging system for years. Under Elon Musk, the company has also shipped features like the ability to edit messages. Earlier this year, Bluesky shipped its direct messaging product and also plans to add end-to-end encryption support in the future. While Mastdon doesn’t have a dedicated inbox, you can publish a post that might be visible only to the people mentioned.
Superabundance refers to a state of extreme plenty or excess, where resources, goods, or services are abundant to the point of being almost unlimited. In an economy or society with superabundance, technology and innovation have advanced to the point where:
Traditional concepts of work, ownership, and wealth are redefined
The idea of superabundance is often associated with the potential benefits of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and nanotechnology, which could lead to unprecedented levels of productivity and efficiency.

AI, Technological Progress, and Scientific Debate: Insights from a Thought-Provoking Dialogue
In a wide-ranging discussion, two intellectuals delve into the current state of artificial intelligence (AI), technological progress, and the nature of scientific inquiry. Their conversation touches on several key points that shed light on our rapidly evolving technological landscape and its broader implications for society.
The dialogue begins with a reflection on the recent breakthroughs in AI, particularly the advent of large language models like ChatGPT. The speakers highlight a significant milestone: the apparent passing of the Turing test, long considered the "Holy Grail" of AI research. This achievement, they argue, represents a pivotal moment in technological history, potentially as impactful as the rise of the Internet in the late 1990s.
However, the speakers note a curious phenomenon: despite the magnitude of this accomplishment, there seems to be a lack of widespread acknowledgment or celebration. They attribute this to two factors:
The rapid pace of AI advancement, which makes today's breakthroughs seem less significant in light of anticipated future developments.
A general difficulty in processing major technological leaps in an era that has been characterized by relative stagnation in many areas.
The conversation then shifts to a broader examination of technological progress over the past few decades. One speaker presents a nuanced view, arguing that while there has been tremendous advancement in the "world of bits" (information technology, computers, internet), progress in the "world of atoms" (physical technologies like transportation, energy, and materials) has been comparatively stagnant.
This disparity, they suggest, has led to a skewed perception of technological progress. While we carry powerful computers in our pockets and have access to vast information networks, many aspects of our physical infrastructure and daily life remain largely unchanged from decades ago. The speaker points out examples such as slower air travel (due to the retirement of supersonic passenger jets) and increasingly congested highways.
An interesting point raised in the discussion is how the very definition of "technology" has narrowed over time. In the 1960s, technology encompassed a wide range of fields including rocketry, aviation, medicine, and agriculture. Today, the term is often used almost synonymously with computer technology. This shift reflects the outsized progress in information technology relative to other fields.
Climate Science and the Nature of Scientific Inquiry
The conversation takes an intriguing turn as the speakers debate the nature of climate science and scientific inquiry more broadly. One speaker expresses skepticism about the rigorous scientific nature of climate studies, suggesting that the field may be more dogmatic than truly scientific. This leads to a broader discussion about the importance of open debate and rigorous methodology in scientific pursuits.
The dialogue concludes with a thought-provoking consideration of global resource consumption and inequality. The speakers ponder whether environmental concerns might be partly driven by the realization that current levels of resource consumption in developed nations cannot be sustainably extended to the entire global population. This raises complex questions about global development, resource allocation, and the future of technological progress.
In summary, this wide-ranging conversation highlights the intricate interplay between technological advancement, scientific inquiry, and societal challenges. It underscores the need for nuanced, multifaceted approaches to understanding and addressing the complex issues that arise as we navigate an era of rapid technological change and global transformation.
DOOM, the 1993 cult classic, has turned into somewhat of an internet meme. Playable on nearly everything, from microwaves to electric toothbrushes, it’s more of a question of what can’t play DOOM rather than what can. Now, thanks to Google’s AI GameNGen, AI can even generate a playable version of one of the most beloved video games of all time, and it’s seriously impressive.
GameNGen is a new video game engine that is powered by a neural model able to generate gameplay based on different prompts. In the case of this recreation of DOOM, GameNGen is essentially learning to play the game as masterfully as possible, dodging bullets, slaying demons, and interacting with the environment.
Once the AI has understood exactly how to play the game, GameNGen then uses a diffusion model to recreate a perfect image of the content it has just consumed. The game is produced in real-time with the AI model generating each individual frame based on the last one.
The recreation of DOOM is something to behold, but with GameNGen only able to recreate the game at around 20fps, it’s obviously not comparable to id Software’s 120fps in DOOM Eternal, or the graphics we’ve seen of the upcoming DOOM: The Dark Ages. However, considering that artificial intelligence has imagined one of the most famous video games and it's playable, we're impressed.
Model-based evaluation is at the heart of successful model development -- as a reward model for training, and as a replacement for human evaluation. To train such evaluators, the standard approach is to collect a large amount of human preference judgments over model responses, which is costly and the data becomes stale as models improve. In this work, we present an approach that aims to im-prove evaluators without human annotations, using synthetic training data only.
Starting from unlabeled instructions, our iterative self-improvement scheme generates contrasting model outputs and trains an LLM-as-a-Judge to produce reasoning traces and final judgments, repeating this training at each new iteration using the improved predictions. Without any labeled preference data, our Self-Taught Evaluator can improve a strong LLM (Llama3-70B-Instruct) from 75.4 to 88.3 (88.7 with majority vote) on RewardBench. This outperforms commonly used LLM judges such as GPT-4 and matches the performance of the top-performing reward models trained with labeled examples.
Elon Musk's Bold Prediction: 1 Million Humanoid Robots by 2030
In a recent interview on the All-In podcast, TeslaCEOElon Musk made a striking prediction: Tesla will reach a production rate of 1 million Optimus humanoid robots in 5 to 6 years. While some may dismiss this as overly optimistic, a closer look at Tesla's track record and the rapid pace of AI and robotics development suggests this goal might be achievable.
Tesla's journey in humanoid robotics began just three years ago, in August 2021, when Musk announced the company's intention to develop a humanoid robot. Remarkably, by September 2022, Tesla unveiled its first prototype and proof-of-concept robot. A year later, in December 2023, the second generation of the humanoid robot was revealed. By May 2024, Tesla shared a video of their robot autonomously performing useful tasks in their factories.
Musk has teased that a third generation of the humanoid robot, described as "something really special," will be complete by the end of this year. This aligns with his statement that it typically takes three iterations before new technology is ready for mass market production.
Production Ramp-Up Potential
Tesla's experience in ramping up car production provides a useful benchmark. From 2018 to 2023, Tesla increased its annual car production from about 245,000 units to 1.8 million units - a growth of over 1.5 million units in just five years. Given that robot production is likely to be less complex than car manufacturing, and considering Tesla's accumulated production expertise, achieving a similar ramp-up for humanoid robots seems plausible.
The rapid advancement of AI technology is a crucial factor in this prediction. Musk stated that he has never seen a new technology advance faster than AI. With his prediction of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) possibly emerging by 2026, the development of a useful (though not AGI-level) humanoid robot by 2030 appears feasible.
If Tesla achieves its goal of producing 1 million humanoid robots by 2030, selling them at around $25,000 each could generate $25 billion in revenue. Additionally, Tesla might implement a licensing model for the robot's software, potentially adding significant recurring revenue.
Long-term projections are even more staggering. Musk estimates the potential market for humanoid robots to be about 20 billion units, with annual production possibly reaching 100 million units. If Tesla captures 10% of this market, it could translate to annual production of 10 million robots.
Some tech experts, like Marcus Brownlee, question the utility of humanoid robots. However, proponents argue that the human form factor is ideal for a world built around human needs, potentially leading to countless applications in homes and workplaces.
While Musk's predictions are often viewed as overly optimistic, Tesla's track record in manufacturing, the rapid advancement of AI, and the potential market size for humanoid robots suggest that achieving 1 million robot production by 2030 may be feasible. As AI continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, the impact of humanoid robots on Tesla's business model and society at large could be transformative, potentially overshadowing current focuses on automotive sales and margins.
For long-term Tesla investors, this presents a compelling vision of the company's future beyond its current automotive focus. However, as with aLL predictions in rapidly evolving tech fields, only time will tell if this ambitious goal can be realized.
This is going to shake up manufacturing in general but especially the automotive industry.
Just like the megapress, it will be a game changer.
From Llama3.1:
What is Tesla's unboxed method of production?
Tesla's unboxed method of production refers to their innovative approach to manufacturing, which eliminates the traditional production line and assembly line structure.
Modular production: Tesla breaks down the production process into smaller, modular tasks, each with its own workstation or cell.
Flexible workstations: Workstations are designed to be flexible and adaptable, allowing workers to perform a variety of tasks and assemble different components.
No fixed assembly line: Unlike traditional assembly lines, Tesla's workstations are not fixed in place. This allows for more flexibility and easier reconfiguration of the production process.
Autonomous teams: Workers are organized into autonomous teams, each responsible for a specific module or task. This encourages collaboration, problem-solving, and continuous improvement.
Continuous flow: The production process is designed to flow continuously, with minimal downtime or bottlenecks.
Data-driven decision making: Tesla uses data analytics and real-time monitoring to optimize production, identify bottlenecks, and make data-driven decisions.
This approach allows Tesla to:
Increase production flexibility and adaptability
Improve product quality and reduce defects
Reduce production costs and lead times
Enhance worker engagement and productivity
Continuously innovate and improve the production process
By adopting this unboxed method of production, Tesla aims to revolutionize the manufacturing industry and achieve greater efficiency, innovation, and sustainability.
Can YouTube get ahead of the deepfake and AI boom?
YouTube is continuing to tapdance ahead of the rush of AI-produced content popping up on the platform with a new set of tools to spot when AI-generated people, voices, and even music appear in videos. The newly upgraded Content ID system is expanding from looking for copyright infringement to looking for synthetic voices performing songs. There are also new ways to spot when deepfake faces are popping up in videos.
The "synthetic singing" voice identification tool for the Content ID system is fairly straightforward. The AI will automatically detect and manage AI-generated imitations of singing voices and alert users of the tool. Google plans to roll out a pilot version of this system early next year before a broader release.
On the visual content front, YouTube is testing a way for content creators to detect AI-generated videos that have their faces without their approval. The idea is to give artists and public figures more control over how AI versions of their faces are deployed, particularly on the video platform. Ideally, this would stop deepfakes or unauthorized manipulations from spreading.
Both features build on the policy quietly added to YouTube's terms and conditions in July to address AI-generated mimicry. Affected individuals can request the removal of videos with deepfake aspects of themselves through YouTube's privacy request process. That was a big shift from simply labeling the video as AI or as misleading content. It enhanced the takedown policy to address AI.
"These two new capabilities build on our track record of developing technology-driven approaches to tackling rights issues at scale," YouTube Vice President of Creator Products Amjad Hanif wrote in a blog post. "We're committed to bringing this same level of protection and empowerment into the AI age."
The Next Decade: A Technological Revolution Amidst Uncertainty
As we stand on the cusp of a new era, experts predict that the coming decade will usher in more change than the previous century combined. This rapid transformation, driven by unprecedented technological advancements, is creating both excitement and apprehension across the globe.
The pace of change has led to widespread anxiety about the future. In America, a staggering 72% of the population believes that artificial intelligence (AI) could bring about the end of humanity. Meanwhile, in Europe, approximately half of the people around 30 years old are choosing not to have children due to pessimism about the future.
Despite these concerns, there's a significant economic transformation underway. The world is transitioning from a fossil fuel-based economy to a green economy. According to the World Economic Forum, this shift is expected to create 100 million new jobs in the green sector alone.
The job market is already experiencing substantial changes due to technological advancements. For instance, social media, despite its controversies, has led to the creation of 21 million new jobs in just 14 years. As AI becomes more prevalent, it's anticipated to spawn entirely new professions that haven't even been conceptualized yet.
These technologies have the potential to reshape society fundamentally. By 2030, experts predict that nothing will be considered technologically impossible. The question will shift from "Can we do it?" to "Should we do it, and why?"
The traditional business model is becoming obsolete. companies that fail to adapt to new technologies and sustainable practices may find themselves obsolete or even criminalized. For instance, selling "dirty energy" could be considered a crime in the near future, despite the current massive profits in the oil industry.
AI is becoming ubiquitous, with every product expected to have AI built-in by 2030. This shift is leading to the "end of routine" in many jobs. Tasks that once required specialized knowledge, like complex spreadsheet creation, can now be accomplished through AI interfaces.
This transformation raises important questions about the future of work. As one expert in the transcript warns, "If you work like a robot, a robot will take your job." The emphasis is shifting towards uniquely human skills that cannot be easily automated.
As technology advances, there's a growing concern about maintaining ethical standards and human values. While AI and other technologies offer immense possibilities, they also present potential dangers if not properly managed. The transcript emphasizes that "technology doesn't have ethics" and that it's crucial for humans to guide its development and application.
The coming decade promises unprecedented change, bringing both challenges and opportunities. While embracing technological advancements, the key message is to "stay human, stay creative." As we navigate this new landscape, it's crucial to harness technology's potential while preserving our humanity and ethical standards.
The future, as painted by this transcript, is one of immense possibility but also great responsibility. How we shape and direct these technological advancements will determine whether the next decade leads us towards a utopian future or unforeseen challenges.
Brain Implants and AI Integration: Current Progress
While we're not yet at the level of seamlessly merging humans with AI, significant advancements have been made in brain implants and their potential integration with artificial intelligence. Here's an overview of the current state:
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): Used to treat neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease, DBS implants have been around for decades.
Cochlear Implants: Restore hearing in individuals with severe hearing loss.
Neuroprosthetics: Brain-controlled prosthetic limbs for individuals with paralysis or limb loss.
Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Implants: Enable people to control devices with their thoughts (e.g., Neuralink's N1 Sensor).
Neuralink: Founded by Elon Musk, Neuralink aims to integrate humans with AI through implantable brain–machine interfaces (BMIs). They've made significant progress, including:
Developing implantable chips (N1 Sensor) that can read and write neural signals.
Demonstrating the ability to control technology with thoughts in animal trials.
Kernel: Another neurotech company, Kernel, is working on non-invasive and implantable BMIs to enhance human cognition and potentially merge with AI.
*Other Research: Various academic and private institutions are exploring BMIs for applications like treating neurological disorders, enhancing cognitive abilities, and potentially achieving a symbiosis with AI.
Safety and Ethics: Implanting devices in the brain raises concerns about long-term effects, privacy, and informed consent.
Technical Hurdles: Developing implants that can seamlessly interface with complex neural networks and AI systems.
Regulatory Frameworks: governments and organizations are still establishing guidelines for the development and use of BMIs.
While we're making progress, we're still far from achieving a true human-AI merger. However, these advancements hold promise for treating medical conditions, enhancing human capabilities, and potentially paving the way for future AI integration.
Unveiled first at WWDC 2024, and then launched at Apple's 'Glowtime' event on September 9, 2024, Apple Intelligence marks a push by the Cupertino company into the world of AI, specifically generative AI. New features, launching with iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia, include proofreading and rewriting abilities, summarizing text, Genmoji for making your own emojis, and an Image Playground app for manipulating images. Want to know if your Mac or iPad is compatible? Take a look at our Apple Intelligence compatibility list.
With Apple Intelligence, Apple is exploring how AI can help people in their everyday lives, with a big focus on privacy. It will help you write emails, perform natural language search and create memory movies based on prompts, but unlike the approach from Google and Microsoft, there is no plan to charge for access to Apple Intelligence's better features until at least 2027.
Apple Intelligence is Apple's multimodal, cross-platform approach to today's AI computing trend. It's coming to just about every Apple platform and most newer Apple devices. Apple Intelligence includes generative AI features, like writing and image creation, as well as an improved Siri assistant, and much more.
Apple Intelligence takes a decidedly Apple-like approach to privacy, which means that the least information possible is shared with anyone, even Apple itself. Most Apple Intelligence features run on your device. When Apple needs to access the cloud for more power, it has a Power Cloud Compute standard to protect your data and privacy; in a nutshell that means cloud-power without data spreading between a load of servers and platforms.
We mention privacy first because Apple always mention privacy first, and no other AI company talks about your data privacy and how your data is being protected quite as much as Apple does.
Apple is also giving Apple Intelligence unprecedented access to your data, and it will be able to read all of your messages, monitor your calendar, follow your Maps and location, record your phone calls, look at your photos, and understand any other personal data. Apple Intelligence will offer a new level of contextual features, because it will have access to just about all of your personal information.
When we look back on actions with a different eye, we tend to learn from our mistakes, become better people and make the world a better place in general
I'll be honest, I'm always a skeptic, but I'm trying to find new perspectives about this AI trend. The tech isn't going anywhere, and I can either keep my head in the dirt or embrace it and be on the early adopter train.

I just opened my mobile notes to write an article for today and saw a note I had written in the early morning when I woke up temporarily from sleep. I wrote about a dream at that time because I knew I would forget about it later and I forgot about it. I have written some key words to describe the dream and as well as I can remember I lost all of my teeth in an accident. It was horrible to see me losing all of my teeth suddenly. Thank god that it was just a dream.

DOJ claims Google has “trifecta of monopolies” on Day 1 of ad tech trial
On Monday, the US Department of Justice's next monopoly trial against Google started in Virginia—this time challenging the tech giant's ad tech dominance.
The trial comes after Google lost two major cases that proved Google had a monopoly in both general search and the Android app store. During her opening statement, DOJ lawyer Julia Tarver Wood told US District Judge Leonie Brinkema—who will be ruling on the case after Google cut a check to avoid a jury trial—that "it’s worth saying the quiet part out loud," AP News reported.
"One monopoly is bad enough," Wood said. "But a trifecta of monopolies is what we have here."

So, I asked #ChatGPT on how to feed an LLM valuable information. Where should I start and how? ChatGPT's response in comments below.
Prompt: "I have an LLM program that always finetunes itself on the data in my server. I want to feed it as much valuable information from my own language as possible. I can only put text files in my server, and not actual datasets. The LLM is based on Llama3.x. If I want everything to provide to it to be valuable and accurate, where I should and how?"
ChatGPT's response:
To ensure that the information provided to your LLM is valuable and accurate, consider the following steps:
1. Curate the Text Sources
2. Preprocessing the Texts
3. Diversity and Variety
4. Language-Specific Texts
5. Regular Updates
6. Monitor the Finetuning

Google loses appeal against EU’s $2.7B Shopping antitrust case, as bloc also wins $15B Apple state aid appeal
Google has once again lost in its bid to overturn a 2017 antitrust decision by the European Commission.
Google has once again lost in its bid to overturn a 2017 antitrust decision by the European Commission. The bloc found its shopping comparison service had broken competition rules — hitting Alphabet, Google’s parent, with an at-the-time record-breaking €2.42 billion penalty (around $2.7 billion at current exchange rates) and ordering changes to how it operates the service.
#technology #google #antitrust
Google appealed the decision and, in November 2021, the General Court of the European Union largely dismissed the challenge. It confirmed that self-preferencing its own shopping service in general search results was anti-competitive, harming rival shopping comparison services, and upholding the Commission’s penalty. However, the Court did find the Commission had not established that Google’s conduct could have had anticompetitive effects on the market for general search services as a whole — hence annulling that portion of the finding.
Google appealed against the EU’s decision a second time, petitioning the EU’s highest court — the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) — which on Tuesday handed down another ruling that won’t be to the search giant’s liking.
The CJEU agreed with the General Court’s analysis. “[I]n light of the characteristics of the market and the specific circumstances of the case, Google’s conduct was discriminatory and did not fall within the scope of competition on the merits,” the court wrote in a press release.
Commenting on the Google Shopping case at a press conference this morning local time, the EU’s competition chief Margrethe Vestager dubbed it “a landmark in the history of regulatory actions against Big Tech companies”. “It was one of the first significant antitrust cases brought by a competition agency against a major digital company and I think this case marked a pivotal shift in how digital companies were regulated and also perceived,” she suggested.
In further remarks on the CJEU ruling, she said: “The Court of Justice confirms that, in certain circumstances, the favorable treatment of its own services by a dominant company can be a breach of Article 9(2) of the European treaty. This important judgment validates the Commission’s approach to such practices.
“We call them self preferencing. Of course a dominant company, as any other company, are free to innovate in all fields but in doing so they should compete on the merits of their innovation. However, they cannot lean on the competitive advantage that they hold because of their market power.”
“Going forward, the Commission will, of course, make sure that the principle enshrined in this judgment — which is now final — is upheld to the benefits of all European consumers,” she added.

Online, led by social media, overtakes TV as the most popular source of news in the UK, Ofcom says
Online platforms have now overtaken TV for the first time as the most popular resource for news among adult consumers, at 71% versus 70%, according to new research.
The newspaper business has been in the middle of a long and slow decline thanks to the rise of the internet. Now some new research out of the U.K. lays bare how TV news is facing a similar fate.
#newsonleo #news #technology #internet
Online platforms have now overtaken TV for the first time as the most popular resource for news among adult consumers, at 71% versus 70%, according to new research from U.K. communications regulator Ofcom.
This is a significant shift. Not only has TV dominated news for more than 60 years (a period when it overtook newspapers in popularity for news; that was the first blow for broadsheets), but also as online platforms replace broadcasters (and newspapers), the news they carry comes from a much wider set of sources. That’s both a blessing for having more viewpoints and a curse for being significantly harder to vet for accuracy — and consumers are concerned that this will only get worse with the growth of AI.
Ofcom’s larger conclusions may not be a surprise: Newspapers have been in trouble for decades; TV has faced pressure from streaming and online media in other categories like entertainment for years; and AI has a lot to answer for in areas like deepfakes and misinformation. But the research is significant because it gives statistics to how usage is shifting, and Ofcom said it will use the conclusions to help determine what to focus its regulation on in the years ahead.
“Television has dominated people’s news habits since the ’60s, and it still commands really high trust,” said Yih-Choung Teh, Ofcom’s group director for strategy and research, in a statement. “But we’re witnessing a generational shift to online news, which is often seen as less reliable — together with growing fears about misinformation and deepfake content. Ofcom wants to secure high-quality news for the next generation, so we’re kicking off a review of the public service media that help underpin the U.K.’s democracy and public debate.”
Ofcom has been running annual surveys on news consumption since 2017. This year it canvassed over 5,000 adults both online and face-to-face.
Face the news
Even as online news as a broader category continues to have a disruptive force in the media market, getting online if you’re a publisher is not exactly a panacea. Online news outlets are also seeing their audiences get eroded by newer kids on the block: Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and X/Twitter all make the list of top 10 news sources in the survey.

Heart disease is the world's biggest killer — this Cambridge Uni spinout is using AI to find new treatments
Cambridge University spinout CardiaTec is striving to tackle cardiovascular diseases, one of the world's leading causes of death, with AI.
While artificial intelligence (AI) promises to transform all manner of industries, the biggest game-changing breakthroughs in this new era of data-infused machine intelligence arguably lies in the field of drug discovery. By analyzing vast amounts of biological data, AI can help researchers predict how different chemical compounds will interact with specific targets in the body, accelerating the discovery of promising drug candidates.
#newsonleo #technology #heartdisease
It’s against this backdrop that Cambridge University spinout CardiaTec is striving to tackle cardiovascular diseases (CVD). To bolster its efforts, the company today said it has raised $6.5 million in a seed round of funding.
CVDs are the preeminent cause of death globally, resulting in 17.9 million deaths each year, according to The World Health Organization (WHO). At the top of the list is ischaemic heart disease (coronary heart disease), responsible for 13% of the world’s total deaths.
Founded in 2021, CardiaTec is the handiwork of biotech and bioengineering graduates Raphael Peralta (CEO) and Thelma Zablocki (COO). They’re supported by their third co-founder and CTO, Namshik Han, a lecturer in AI drug discovery at the University of Cambridge, where Peralta and Zablocki studied for an MPhil in Bioscience Enterprise. Han, who has a background in machine learning, computational biology, cancer genomics, and cancer epigenomics, is also head of AI at the university’s Milner Therapeutics Institute, which forges close ties with industry, including pharmaceutical companies.
“He (Han) is an academic who sits on the border with industry, so he understands that translational perspective,” Peralta told TechCrunch in an interview. “We came together with the opportunity to use Namshik’s work, but within the cardiovascular space.”
CardiaTec is tackling the crux of the problem: The average expense of progressing a drug candidate from discovery through launch is around $2.2 billion, and that cost is driven substantively by the fact that 90% of potential candidates fail in the process, according to Deloitte. CardiaTec is setting out to “decode” the biology of CVDs.

SpaceX launches Polaris Dawn mission, which will attempt the first private spacewalk
It's the first of three missions that billionaire Jared Isaacman purchased from SpaceX in 2022 for his human spaceflight effort known as the Polaris Program.
SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission launched on Tuesday from Florida on a Falcon 9 rocket, which carried the Dragon capsule "Resilience" into orbit.
It's the first of three missions that billionaire and Shift4 founder Jared Isaacman purchased from SpaceX in 2022 for his human spaceflight effort known as the Polaris Program.
#spacex #space #newsonleo #polaris
The multi-day trip isn't headed to a destination like the International Space Station, but instead is a free-flying mission tracing orbits that the crew hopes will go far from Earth.
As a centerpiece to the mission, the crew will attempt to perform the first-ever SpaceX spacewalk. Extravehicular activities, or EVAs, have been a regular part of government astronauts missions but no private venture has attempted an EVA before. The EVA is expected to last two hours long from start to finish.
In addition to the spacewalk, Polaris Dawn plans to conduct about 40 science and research experiments during the mission.
The launch had been postponed multiple times over the past few weeks because of unfavorable weather conditions and a helium leak.

DirecTV customers miss 'Monday Night Football' NFL game as carriage fight with Disney continues
DirecTV's pay TV customers lost access to Disney's networks, including ESPN, last week.
Millions of DirecTV customers missed the NFL's opening "Monday Night Football" game on ESPN as the company has yet to reach a deal with network parent Disney.
Disney's TV networks went dark on Sept. 1 for DirecTV's customers amid a carriage battle over fees and bundling. Those networks include pay-TV channels ESPN and FX, as well as broadcast network ABC in some markets.
#nfl #sports #football #directv
Disney and DirecTV did not reach a deal in time for "Monday Night Football," a 32-19 San Francisco 49ers victory over the New York Jets. However, negotiations are still ongoing and a deal could come as early as this week, people familiar with the matter said.
The satellite and streaming company called Disney anti-consumer as DirecTV is pushing for an option in which it could create genre-specific bundles, such as kids, entertainment and news, which Disney opposes.
As a result of the fight, DirecTV customers were unable to see the U.S. Open and the first full weekend of the college football season.
Live sports continue to attract big audiences and, in turn, high media rights deals, which in turn have created some of the most expensive networks on TV. ESPN is said to reap some of the highest fees paid by pay-TV companies to carry the network and its sister channels, CNBC previously reported.

Smartcat secures $43M for its AI-powered translation platform
Smartcat, a Boston-based startup providing AI-powered translation services, has raised $43 million in a funding round.
Can AI ever fully replace translators? Not likely. AI translations tend to lack the lexical richness of their human-translated counterparts, mainly because AI models make choices based on probability — not lived experience. Certainly, AI can produce “accurate” translations, but the translations lack the spice of life, like a textbook version of the source text.
#ai #technology #newonleo #funding
For many companies, accuracy is all that’s required, making the AI translation sector an attractive one. Smartcat, founded in 2016, is among the vendors providing automated translation tools geared toward enterprises, and its co-founder and CEO, Ivan Smolnikov, says business is good.
“We have over 1,000 corporate customers, including 20% of the Fortune 500,” he told TechCrunch. “While most of Smartcat’s clients are large global enterprises, we also count many local and international government entities among them.”
Before founding Smartcat, Smolnikov was a physicist at the Russian Academy of Sciences, where he researched fiber optics materials. After two years in the lab, Smolnikov decided to try his hand at entrepreneurship, founding the language services company ABBYY LS.
It’s at ABBYY where Smolnikov incubated Smartcat, in fact, which spun out as an independent entity in 2016. Smolnikov left ABBYY, where he was a board member at the time, the same year.
Form3, a quiet giant in UK fintech, raises $60M at a $570M valuation
Form3, a startup building tools to connect financial players with each other to enable account payments, has it raised $60 million to continue expanding.
The global economy remains in a sticky spot, in the words of the International Monetary Fund. Understandably, banks and other financial players are therefore looking to do what they can to bring down operating costs while spurring more financial activity.
Today, Form3, one of the startups building tools to do just that by connecting financial players with each other to enable account payments, said it raised $60 million to continue expanding its business.
#technology #newsonleo #form3 #ai
British Patient Capital is making the investment, which closes out Form3’s Series C at $220 million. Others in the round include a mix of notable strategic and financial investors such as Visa, Goldman Sachs, MasterCard, Barclays, Molten Ventures and 83North. Sources familiar with the matter told TechCrunch that the startup is valued in the region of $570 million post-money.
A lot of fintechs wade into the market with disruptive mentalities — they are outsiders who see what is broken and are inspired to fix it. Form3 has slightly different DNA.
Threads is not working on its own DM system yet, but it might make it easier to send Instagram messages
The Threads team is not yet working on a separate inbox or a direct messaging system for the social network, despite user demands and will continue to use
The Threads team is not yet working on a separate inbox or a direct messaging system for the social network, despite user demands and will continue to use Instagram inbox. However, the company might make it easier to send messages to Instagram right from the Threads app.
App researcher Adwaith Varma posted on Threads an unreleased Threads feature, highlighting a new messaging button on users’ profiles. When tapping that button, users could see a text box and a send button to send a message to someone’s Instagram inbox quickly.
#technology #instagram #meta
Threads confirmed to TechCrunch that this was a public test with a limited set of users, and it is not active anymore. However, this means the company might bring some features to at least initialize messaging directly from Threads.
At this moment, the only option to message a user privately is to tap on the Instagram icon on their profile and send a message through the Instagram inbox.
Threads is still heavily integrated with Instagram, which is not ideal for users with private profiles. Instagram DMs are also not a good option for contacting someone if the person is not very active on that particular social network.
This move contrasts with its rivals, X and Bluesky. X/Twitter has had a direct messaging system for years. Under Elon Musk, the company has also shipped features like the ability to edit messages. Earlier this year, Bluesky shipped its direct messaging product and also plans to add end-to-end encryption support in the future. While Mastdon doesn’t have a dedicated inbox, you can publish a post that might be visible only to the people mentioned.

Here's an in-depth summary of the transcript in article form:
AI, Technological Progress, and Scientific Debate: Insights from a Thought-Provoking Dialogue
In a wide-ranging discussion, two intellectuals delve into the current state of artificial intelligence (AI), technological progress, and the nature of scientific inquiry. Their conversation touches on several key points that shed light on our rapidly evolving technological landscape and its broader implications for society.
The AI Revolution and the Turing Test
The dialogue begins with a reflection on the recent breakthroughs in AI, particularly the advent of large language models like ChatGPT. The speakers highlight a significant milestone: the apparent passing of the Turing test, long considered the "Holy Grail" of AI research. This achievement, they argue, represents a pivotal moment in technological history, potentially as impactful as the rise of the Internet in the late 1990s.
However, the speakers note a curious phenomenon: despite the magnitude of this accomplishment, there seems to be a lack of widespread acknowledgment or celebration. They attribute this to two factors:
The Paradox of Technological Progress
The conversation then shifts to a broader examination of technological progress over the past few decades. One speaker presents a nuanced view, arguing that while there has been tremendous advancement in the "world of bits" (information technology, computers, internet), progress in the "world of atoms" (physical technologies like transportation, energy, and materials) has been comparatively stagnant.
This disparity, they suggest, has led to a skewed perception of technological progress. While we carry powerful computers in our pockets and have access to vast information networks, many aspects of our physical infrastructure and daily life remain largely unchanged from decades ago. The speaker points out examples such as slower air travel (due to the retirement of supersonic passenger jets) and increasingly congested highways.
The Narrowing Definition of Technology
An interesting point raised in the discussion is how the very definition of "technology" has narrowed over time. In the 1960s, technology encompassed a wide range of fields including rocketry, aviation, medicine, and agriculture. Today, the term is often used almost synonymously with computer technology. This shift reflects the outsized progress in information technology relative to other fields.
Climate Science and the Nature of Scientific Inquiry
The conversation takes an intriguing turn as the speakers debate the nature of climate science and scientific inquiry more broadly. One speaker expresses skepticism about the rigorous scientific nature of climate studies, suggesting that the field may be more dogmatic than truly scientific. This leads to a broader discussion about the importance of open debate and rigorous methodology in scientific pursuits.
The speakers touch on several contentious points:
Technological Progress and Global Inequality
The dialogue concludes with a thought-provoking consideration of global resource consumption and inequality. The speakers ponder whether environmental concerns might be partly driven by the realization that current levels of resource consumption in developed nations cannot be sustainably extended to the entire global population. This raises complex questions about global development, resource allocation, and the future of technological progress.
In summary, this wide-ranging conversation highlights the intricate interplay between technological advancement, scientific inquiry, and societal challenges. It underscores the need for nuanced, multifaceted approaches to understanding and addressing the complex issues that arise as we navigate an era of rapid technological change and global transformation.

Google’s new AI gaming engine can recreate DOOM and basically all your other favorite games too
DOOM, the 1993 cult classic, has turned into somewhat of an internet meme. Playable on nearly everything, from microwaves to electric toothbrushes, it’s more of a question of what can’t play DOOM rather than what can. Now, thanks to Google’s AI GameNGen, AI can even generate a playable version of one of the most beloved video games of all time, and it’s seriously impressive.
#gaming #doom #google #ai #technology
GameNGen is a new video game engine that is powered by a neural model able to generate gameplay based on different prompts. In the case of this recreation of DOOM, GameNGen is essentially learning to play the game as masterfully as possible, dodging bullets, slaying demons, and interacting with the environment.
Once the AI has understood exactly how to play the game, GameNGen then uses a diffusion model to recreate a perfect image of the content it has just consumed. The game is produced in real-time with the AI model generating each individual frame based on the last one.
The recreation of DOOM is something to behold, but with GameNGen only able to recreate the game at around 20fps, it’s obviously not comparable to id Software’s 120fps in DOOM Eternal, or the graphics we’ve seen of the upcoming DOOM: The Dark Ages. However, considering that artificial intelligence has imagined one of the most famous video games and it's playable, we're impressed.

This from a research paper.
Self-Taught Evaluators
Model-based evaluation is at the heart of successful model development -- as a reward model for training, and as a replacement for human evaluation. To train such evaluators, the standard approach is to collect a large amount of human preference judgments over model responses, which is costly and the data becomes stale as models improve. In this work, we present an approach that aims to im-prove evaluators without human annotations, using synthetic training data only.
#ai #technology #development #coding #researchpaper
Starting from unlabeled instructions, our iterative self-improvement scheme generates contrasting model outputs and trains an LLM-as-a-Judge to produce reasoning traces and final judgments, repeating this training at each new iteration using the improved predictions. Without any labeled preference data, our Self-Taught Evaluator can improve a strong LLM (Llama3-70B-Instruct) from 75.4 to 88.3 (88.7 with majority vote) on RewardBench. This outperforms commonly used LLM judges such as GPT-4 and matches the performance of the top-performing reward models trained with labeled examples.
Elon Musk's Bold Claim - 1 Million Optimus Robots by 2030 - Here's Why It's Possible!
#optimus #robots #technology
Elon Musk's Bold Prediction: 1 Million Humanoid Robots by 2030
In a recent interview on the All-In podcast, Tesla CEO Elon Musk made a striking prediction: Tesla will reach a production rate of 1 million Optimus humanoid robots in 5 to 6 years. While some may dismiss this as overly optimistic, a closer look at Tesla's track record and the rapid pace of AI and robotics development suggests this goal might be achievable.
Tesla's Rapid Progress in Robotics
Tesla's journey in humanoid robotics began just three years ago, in August 2021, when Musk announced the company's intention to develop a humanoid robot. Remarkably, by September 2022, Tesla unveiled its first prototype and proof-of-concept robot. A year later, in December 2023, the second generation of the humanoid robot was revealed. By May 2024, Tesla shared a video of their robot autonomously performing useful tasks in their factories.
Musk has teased that a third generation of the humanoid robot, described as "something really special," will be complete by the end of this year. This aligns with his statement that it typically takes three iterations before new technology is ready for mass market production.
Production Ramp-Up Potential
Tesla's experience in ramping up car production provides a useful benchmark. From 2018 to 2023, Tesla increased its annual car production from about 245,000 units to 1.8 million units - a growth of over 1.5 million units in just five years. Given that robot production is likely to be less complex than car manufacturing, and considering Tesla's accumulated production expertise, achieving a similar ramp-up for humanoid robots seems plausible.
The AI Factor
The rapid advancement of AI technology is a crucial factor in this prediction. Musk stated that he has never seen a new technology advance faster than AI. With his prediction of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) possibly emerging by 2026, the development of a useful (though not AGI-level) humanoid robot by 2030 appears feasible.
Business Implications
If Tesla achieves its goal of producing 1 million humanoid robots by 2030, selling them at around $25,000 each could generate $25 billion in revenue. Additionally, Tesla might implement a licensing model for the robot's software, potentially adding significant recurring revenue.
Long-term projections are even more staggering. Musk estimates the potential market for humanoid robots to be about 20 billion units, with annual production possibly reaching 100 million units. If Tesla captures 10% of this market, it could translate to annual production of 10 million robots.
Skepticism and Counterarguments
Some tech experts, like Marcus Brownlee, question the utility of humanoid robots. However, proponents argue that the human form factor is ideal for a world built around human needs, potentially leading to countless applications in homes and workplaces.
Conclusion
While Musk's predictions are often viewed as overly optimistic, Tesla's track record in manufacturing, the rapid advancement of AI, and the potential market size for humanoid robots suggest that achieving 1 million robot production by 2030 may be feasible. As AI continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, the impact of humanoid robots on Tesla's business model and society at large could be transformative, potentially overshadowing current focuses on automotive sales and margins.
For long-term Tesla investors, this presents a compelling vision of the company's future beyond its current automotive focus. However, as with aLL predictions in rapidly evolving tech fields, only time will tell if this ambitious goal can be realized.
This is going to shake up manufacturing in general but especially the automotive industry.
Just like the megapress, it will be a game changer.
From Llama3.1:
What is Tesla's unboxed method of production?
Tesla's unboxed method of production refers to their innovative approach to manufacturing, which eliminates the traditional production line and assembly line structure.
Here are some key aspects of this approach:
Modular production: Tesla breaks down the production process into smaller, modular tasks, each with its own workstation or cell.
Flexible workstations: Workstations are designed to be flexible and adaptable, allowing workers to perform a variety of tasks and assemble different components.
No fixed assembly line: Unlike traditional assembly lines, Tesla's workstations are not fixed in place. This allows for more flexibility and easier reconfiguration of the production process.
Autonomous teams: Workers are organized into autonomous teams, each responsible for a specific module or task. This encourages collaboration, problem-solving, and continuous improvement.
Continuous flow: The production process is designed to flow continuously, with minimal downtime or bottlenecks.
Data-driven decision making: Tesla uses data analytics and real-time monitoring to optimize production, identify bottlenecks, and make data-driven decisions.
This approach allows Tesla to:
Increase production flexibility and adaptability
Improve product quality and reduce defects
Reduce production costs and lead times
Enhance worker engagement and productivity
Continuously innovate and improve the production process
By adopting this unboxed method of production, Tesla aims to revolutionize the manufacturing industry and achieve greater efficiency, innovation, and sustainability.
YouTube can spot those AI-produced faces and music tracks you're seeing all over
Can YouTube get ahead of the deepfake and AI boom?
YouTube is continuing to tapdance ahead of the rush of AI-produced content popping up on the platform with a new set of tools to spot when AI-generated people, voices, and even music appear in videos. The newly upgraded Content ID system is expanding from looking for copyright infringement to looking for synthetic voices performing songs. There are also new ways to spot when deepfake faces are popping up in videos.
#youtube #google #ai #technology
The "synthetic singing" voice identification tool for the Content ID system is fairly straightforward. The AI will automatically detect and manage AI-generated imitations of singing voices and alert users of the tool. Google plans to roll out a pilot version of this system early next year before a broader release.
On the visual content front, YouTube is testing a way for content creators to detect AI-generated videos that have their faces without their approval. The idea is to give artists and public figures more control over how AI versions of their faces are deployed, particularly on the video platform. Ideally, this would stop deepfakes or unauthorized manipulations from spreading.
Both features build on the policy quietly added to YouTube's terms and conditions in July to address AI-generated mimicry. Affected individuals can request the removal of videos with deepfake aspects of themselves through YouTube's privacy request process. That was a big shift from simply labeling the video as AI or as misleading content. It enhanced the takedown policy to address AI.
"These two new capabilities build on our track record of developing technology-driven approaches to tackling rights issues at scale," YouTube Vice President of Creator Products Amjad Hanif wrote in a blog post. "We're committed to bringing this same level of protection and empowerment into the AI age."
The next 10 years will bring more change than the last 100 years
The Next Decade: A Technological Revolution Amidst Uncertainty
As we stand on the cusp of a new era, experts predict that the coming decade will usher in more change than the previous century combined. This rapid transformation, driven by unprecedented technological advancements, is creating both excitement and apprehension across the globe.
Public Perception and Societal Concerns
The pace of change has led to widespread anxiety about the future. In America, a staggering 72% of the population believes that artificial intelligence (AI) could bring about the end of humanity. Meanwhile, in Europe, approximately half of the people around 30 years old are choosing not to have children due to pessimism about the future.
Economic Transformation and Job Market Shifts
Despite these concerns, there's a significant economic transformation underway. The world is transitioning from a fossil fuel-based economy to a green economy. According to the World Economic Forum, this shift is expected to create 100 million new jobs in the green sector alone.
The job market is already experiencing substantial changes due to technological advancements. For instance, social media, despite its controversies, has led to the creation of 21 million new jobs in just 14 years. As AI becomes more prevalent, it's anticipated to spawn entirely new professions that haven't even been conceptualized yet.
Technological Breakthroughs
The next decade is poised to bring revolutionary advancements in various fields:
These technologies have the potential to reshape society fundamentally. By 2030, experts predict that nothing will be considered technologically impossible. The question will shift from "Can we do it?" to "Should we do it, and why?"
The End of "Business as Usual"
The traditional business model is becoming obsolete. companies that fail to adapt to new technologies and sustainable practices may find themselves obsolete or even criminalized. For instance, selling "dirty energy" could be considered a crime in the near future, despite the current massive profits in the oil industry.
AI and Automation: Reshaping work and Skills
AI is becoming ubiquitous, with every product expected to have AI built-in by 2030. This shift is leading to the "end of routine" in many jobs. Tasks that once required specialized knowledge, like complex spreadsheet creation, can now be accomplished through AI interfaces.
This transformation raises important questions about the future of work. As one expert in the transcript warns, "If you work like a robot, a robot will take your job." The emphasis is shifting towards uniquely human skills that cannot be easily automated.
Ethical Considerations and Human Values
As technology advances, there's a growing concern about maintaining ethical standards and human values. While AI and other technologies offer immense possibilities, they also present potential dangers if not properly managed. The transcript emphasizes that "technology doesn't have ethics" and that it's crucial for humans to guide its development and application.
Conclusion: Embracing Change While Staying Human
The coming decade promises unprecedented change, bringing both challenges and opportunities. While embracing technological advancements, the key message is to "stay human, stay creative." As we navigate this new landscape, it's crucial to harness technology's potential while preserving our humanity and ethical standards.
The future, as painted by this transcript, is one of immense possibility but also great responsibility. How we shape and direct these technological advancements will determine whether the next decade leads us towards a utopian future or unforeseen challenges.
Brain computer interface progress from Llmama3.1:
Brain Implants and AI Integration: Current Progress
While we're not yet at the level of seamlessly merging humans with AI, significant advancements have been made in brain implants and their potential integration with artificial intelligence. Here's an overview of the current state:
Types of Brain Implants:
Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Implants: Enable people to control devices with their thoughts (e.g., Neuralink's N1 Sensor).
Recent Developments:
Developing implantable chips (N1 Sensor) that can read and write neural signals.
Demonstrating the ability to control technology with thoughts in animal trials.
*Other Research: Various academic and private institutions are exploring BMIs for applications like treating neurological disorders, enhancing cognitive abilities, and potentially achieving a symbiosis with AI.
Challenges and Considerations:
Safety and Ethics: Implanting devices in the brain raises concerns about long-term effects, privacy, and informed consent.
Technical Hurdles: Developing implants that can seamlessly interface with complex neural networks and AI systems.
Regulatory Frameworks: governments and organizations are still establishing guidelines for the development and use of BMIs.
While we're making progress, we're still far from achieving a true human-AI merger. However, these advancements hold promise for treating medical conditions, enhancing human capabilities, and potentially paving the way for future AI integration.
What is Apple Intelligence? The new Apple AI coming to your iPhone, iPad and Mac explained
AI means Apple Intelligence for Apple fans
Unveiled first at WWDC 2024, and then launched at Apple's 'Glowtime' event on September 9, 2024, Apple Intelligence marks a push by the Cupertino company into the world of AI, specifically generative AI. New features, launching with iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia, include proofreading and rewriting abilities, summarizing text, Genmoji for making your own emojis, and an Image Playground app for manipulating images. Want to know if your Mac or iPad is compatible? Take a look at our Apple Intelligence compatibility list.
#apple #ai #intelligence #ios #technology
With Apple Intelligence, Apple is exploring how AI can help people in their everyday lives, with a big focus on privacy. It will help you write emails, perform natural language search and create memory movies based on prompts, but unlike the approach from Google and Microsoft, there is no plan to charge for access to Apple Intelligence's better features until at least 2027.
Apple Intelligence is Apple's multimodal, cross-platform approach to today's AI computing trend. It's coming to just about every Apple platform and most newer Apple devices. Apple Intelligence includes generative AI features, like writing and image creation, as well as an improved Siri assistant, and much more.
Apple Intelligence takes a decidedly Apple-like approach to privacy, which means that the least information possible is shared with anyone, even Apple itself. Most Apple Intelligence features run on your device. When Apple needs to access the cloud for more power, it has a Power Cloud Compute standard to protect your data and privacy; in a nutshell that means cloud-power without data spreading between a load of servers and platforms.
We mention privacy first because Apple always mention privacy first, and no other AI company talks about your data privacy and how your data is being protected quite as much as Apple does.
Apple is also giving Apple Intelligence unprecedented access to your data, and it will be able to read all of your messages, monitor your calendar, follow your Maps and location, record your phone calls, look at your photos, and understand any other personal data. Apple Intelligence will offer a new level of contextual features, because it will have access to just about all of your personal information.

And I am like "customers are always right "
#meme #memes #cent #jokes #memeonleo
The saying is actually, "customers are always right in matters of taste or preference". It doesn't mean we can't argue with a customer, it just means we let them buy the blue shirt even if red looks better on them.
Thank you. Came here to say that exact thing. Customers are wrong, a lot. lol
They say a cup of coffee is remembered for 40 years around here. The coffee I had with my cousin was just as meaningful. Do you like Turkish coffee too?
#freecompliments #cent #photography
I like coffee but never tried the Turkish one.
May be if I will be able to find near me.
How it tastes?
With milk or black?

thanks fren

do u really feel Ai will over shadow humans in the near future
#gmfrens
#freecompliments
Nope. But humans who know how to use AI might overshadow those who don't.
nice point 👉, you got there, i absolutely concur
AI is not crecreated to overshadow us, it was created to help/assist us..
