Here is the daily technology #threadcast for 8/5/24. We aim to educate people about this crucial area along with providing information of what is taking place.
Drop all question, comments, and articles relating to #technology and the future. The goal is make it a technology center.
I was just asking my husband if he thought that the auto industry could be brought back to the US with #ai #technology and #robotics.
That would be awesome. He thinks it's possible.
What do you think?
Most of legacy auto is going to be dead.
As long as there are people involved, it will be elsewhere. Keep in mind the US market is no longer the largest auto market. China is now much larger.
I think thats unlikely

One of my best DEVs quit today... weird decision given the global context... I wonder what he is up to.. he says he is going back to school
That is an odd move, if the work environment for devs is the same there as in the states.
Why go back to school? That doesnt make much sense.
My thoughts exactly... I don't know whether he was 100% honest regarding his next steps... but not my business now. He is a good guy and I wish it works out for him, whatever his next move is
Some economists are already talking about a "high tech bubble"
The valuations are probably bloated but, with the speed that things are progressing, we are going to see a massive spurt in economic output.

Too bad these kids didnt put their talents to positive use.

Yes it is. Some just cant help but to use their talents for nefarious reasons.
The advancement is robotics is one of the most important innovations we are seeing. This is going to be part of the core of the age of abundance.
You are right, it is one of the sectors that I am very excited about and I have no doubt that we will make good progress in the coming years.
It is only getting more interesting as we see the progress being made. It is something that is bridging the digital and physical world.
Yes, it's exciting and it's really cool to have the privilege of following these things.
We just have to remember how much we can see things evolve and disappear, as was the case with floppy disks, cassette tapes, those square cell phones and other things.
That is true. Consider film in cameras, the VCR, long distance bills, and tubes in televisions.
Anyone who watching what is taking place and looking to leverage it will find themselves in different positions.
Task, have you ever used this?
I was watching TV with my wife and she is only a few months older than me and I was surprised when she said she never messed with it.
Here we call it a Typing Typewriter. I don't know what it's called there.
It's incredible to see how things have evolved over the last 50 years to what we have today.
What will we have in the next 50 years? Would things be "written" or "typed" with the force of thought?
A rather negative but potentially accurate look at the chip industry and AI.

Neuralink chips will give humanity 'superpowers' to compete with AI, says Musk
Billionaire Elon Musk is willing to combat the risks of artificial intelligence (AI) with Neuralink, a neural implant company that helps people with movement difficulties. The businessman explained how this will be possible in a podcast interview with computer scientist Lex Friedman.
According to Musk, Neuralink will give the user "superpowers" and the issue of assistance with everyday tasks is just the first step in the company's planning.

SoftBank shares tank near 19%, wiping off $4.6 billion from founder Masayoshi Son's fortune
SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son's net worth fell by $4.6 billion on Monday, according to the Forbes real-time billionaires list, as the company's share price lost nearly 19%.
SoftBank Group shares tanked nearly 19% on Monday amid a global sell-off, wiping off billions of dollars from founder Masayoshi Son's fortune.
Shars of the Japanese giant, known as one of the world's largest tech investors through its massive Vision Fund, have slid since last Thursday, as Japanese equities began to fall after the Bank of Japan raised its benchmark interest rate.

Even after $1.6B in VC money, the lab-grown meat industry is facing ‘massive’ issues
Any goal that puts cultivated meat in big box grocery stores or on fast food menus in the 2020s is “unrealistic,” according to experts.
When Mosa Meat served up a first-of-its-kind, lab-grown hamburger in 2013, it cost over $300,000. Eleven years later, around 200 startups worldwide remain hopeful that growing meat from cells, rather than slaughtering animals, will one day be a major portion of our food supply.
Despite their optimism, such success is not a given. In 2024, the industry has hit such rocky times that multiple startups have been forced to scale back or close shop.

From golf to hunting, a new crop of startups want to make these experiences even better
COVID-19 pushed people to take up outdoor activities. Now, startups are helping companies and consumers keep up with demand.
From golf to fishing to pickleball, outdoor sports and recreation saw a boom during the pandemic. But unlike some pandemic-driven trends (virtual conferences, Zoom happy hours), the interest in outdoor activities has stuck.
By the end of 2023, outdoor participation grew to a record 175.8 million people, or 57% of all Americans aged 6 and older, according to the Outdoor Industry Association.

Fully-automatic robot dentist performs world's first human procedure
Nightmare fuel? Maybe – but in a historic moment for the dental profession, an AI-controlled autonomous robot has performed an entire procedure on a human patient for the first time, about eight times faster than a human dentist could do it.
The system, built by Boston company Perceptive, uses a hand-held 3D volumetric scanner, which builds a detailed 3D model of the mouth, including the teeth, gums and even nerves under the tooth surface, using optical coherence tomography, or OCT.
This cuts harmful X-Ray radiation out of the process, as OCT uses nothing more than light beams to build its volumetric models, which come out at high resolution, with cavities automatically detected at an accuracy rate around 90%.

Elon Musk says he was tricked and sues OpenAI again
Elon Musk has filed a new lawsuit against OpenAI and its co-founders, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, alleging that the company has strayed from its original mission of developing artificial intelligence to benefit humanity. The action was registered this Monday (5) in federal court in California, in the United States.
The new lawsuit accuses Altman and Brockman of manipulating Musk into co-founding OpenAI under the promise that the company would be safer and more transparent than for-profit alternatives. According to the lawsuit, these guarantees about OpenAI's non-profit structure were fundamental in convincing Musk to invest in the project.
