We often try to distinguish between what is alive and what is a machine, and note that machines can’t reproduce or fix themselves, but that may soon change.

Neural Networks: From Biological to Artificial

Posted by in categories: biological, internet, media & arts, robotics/AI

Neural networks biological and artificial.


Neural Networks have found applications across various domains due to their ability to learn from data and improve over time without human intervention. They can solve challenging problems that are hard or impossible to solve using traditional methods. Here are some of the examples of how neural networks and artificial neurons are used in real-world scenarios:

Voice assistants: Voice assistants like Siri and Alexa use neural networks to understand spoken language commands and questions. They use trained models based on artificial neurons processing vast datasets of speech and text data. They can also generate natural-sounding responses and perform various tasks, such as playing music, setting reminders, searching the web, etc.

Our universe is a strange place, with underlying rules we’re only just beginning to understand, but could the strangest thing of all about our Universe be that we are able to live here to observe it in the first place?

Hip-Hop History in Space: Missy Elliott’s Song Beamed to Venus by NASA

Posted by in categories: media & arts, space travel

“Both space exploration and Missy Elliott’s art have been about pushing boundaries,” said Brittany Brown. “Missy has a track record of infusing space-centric storytelling and futuristic visuals in her music videos, so the opportunity to collaborate on something out of this world is truly fitting.”


The planet Venus just received a gift from NASA, but this time it’s not in the form of a spacecraft or lander, but instead in the form of a hip hop song transmitted by the agency’s Deep Space Network, “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)”, which was originally released in 1997 by the hip hop artist, Missy Elliott. Not only is Venus the favorite planet of Missy Elliott, but this also marks only the second time a song has been transmitted into the unknown, with the first being “Across the Universe” from The Beatles in 2008.

The song was sent to Venus on July 12, 2024, at 10:05 am PDT by the Deep Space Station 13 radio dish antenna located in Barstow, California, with the command being sent from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. The song took approximately 14 minutes to reach Venus traveling at the speed of light.

Current AIs only have the IQ level of a cat, asserts Google DeepMind CEO

Posted by in categories: media & arts, robotics/AI

The CEO of Google DeepMind has compared the IQ levels of contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) agents to domestic cats. “We’re still not even at cat intelligence yet, as a general system,” remarked Hassabis, answering a question about DeepMind’s progress in artificial general intelligence (AGI). However, research is progressing fast, with some huge cash and compute investments propelling it forward. Some expect it to eclipse human intelligence in the next half-decade.

Demis Hassabis, the co-founder and CEO of Google DeepMind, made the artificial intelligence vs. cat IQ comparison in a public discussion with Tony Blair, one of Britain’s ex-Prime Ministers. The talk was part of the Future of Britain Conference 2024, organized by the Institute for Global Change.

Hassabis highlights that his work is not focused on AI but on AGI. It gives us more perspective on how he is looking at the computer vs cat comparison. Yes, a contemporary AI can sometimes write, paint, or make music in a convincingly human-like fashion, but an ordinary house cat has a lot more general intelligence. “At the moment, we’re far from Human-level intelligence across the board,” admitted Hassabis. “But in certain areas like games playing [AI is] better than the best people in the world.”
