Meta and Elon Musk’s xAI Compete for Partnership with Character.ai

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, robotics/AI

Meta and Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence (AI) startup, xAI, are both vying for a strategic partnership with Character.ai, an emerging player in the chatbot industry known for its innovative conversational agents. This competition highlights the escalating race in the AI sector to secure influential collaborations that could redefine user interactions with AI technologies.

Background on Character.ai

Character.ai, co-founded by ex-Google engineers Noam Shazeer and Daniel de Freitas, has gained considerable attention for its advanced conversational AI that allows users to interact with digital versions of various personalities, both real and fictional. The platform aims to deliver engaging and plausible dialogues, setting it apart from traditional AI models focused on factual accuracy.

Project Hephaistos — II. Dyson sphere candidates from Gaia DR3, 2MASS, and WISE

Posted by in categories: alien life, robotics/AI

ABSTRACT. The search for extraterrestrial intelligence is currently being pursued using multiple techniques and in different wavelength bands. Dyson spheres, megastructures that could be constructed by advanced civilizations to harness the radiation energy of their host stars, represent a potential technosignature, that in principle may be hiding in public data already collected as part of large astronomical surveys. In this study, we present a comprehensive search for partial Dyson spheres by analysing optical and infrared observations from Gaia, 2MASS, and WISE. We develop a pipeline that employs multiple filters to identify potential candidates and reject interlopers in a sample of five million objects, which incorporates a convolutional neural network to help identify confusion in WISE data. Finally, the pipeline identifies seven candidates deserving of further analysis. All of these objects are M-dwarfs, for which astrophysical phenomena cannot easily account for the observed infrared excess emission.
