AI experts are increasingly afraid of what they’re creating

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Artificial intelligence gets smarter, more capable, and more world-transforming every day. Here’s why that might not be a good thing.

Cellular Automata

Posted by in categories: education, neuroscience

This educational video about cellular automata was filmed, narrated, and edited by Rudy Rucker in 1990, using some “CA Lab” software he worled on at Autodesk. Renamed “Cellab,” the software and manual are available for free on Rucker’s website.

Handwriting Converted to Computer Code

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Cornell University researchers have created an interface that allows users to handwrite and sketch within computer code – a challenge to conventional coding, which typically relies on typing.

The pen-based interface, called Notate, lets users of computational, digital notebooks open drawing canvases and handwrite diagrams within lines of traditional, digitized computer code.

Powered by a deep learning model, the interface bridges handwritten and textual programming contexts: notation in the handwritten diagram can reference textual code and vice versa. For instance, Notate recognizes handwritten programming symbols, like “n”, and then links them up to their typewritten equivalents.

Jetson offers a unique take on the jet-powered surfboard

Posted by in category: futurism

There are now quite a few electric surfboards on the market, and they almost all work in the same way – their jet drive runs for as long as you squeeze a throttle on a handheld remote. The Jetson is different, in that it provides temporary boosts as needed.

Manufactured by Florida-based startup Jetson Surf Technology, the board is currently the subject of an Indiegogo campaign.

OpenAI successfully trained a Minecraft bot using 70,000 hours of gameplay videos

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, bitcoin, finance, robotics/AI

This superintelligent AI is quite astounding learning similarly to a human even. What I am wanting someday is from labor to digital commerce like bitcoin to even stock markets to everything could essentially automated. Also with the neuralink we could essentially have similar intelligence as the superintelligence allowing for humans to attain a superintelligent level of abilities. I think with DNA computers could be better than essentially for implants or essentially downloading information onto human DNA computers or even brain downloads from simple impulses from devices could give binary code files for abilities or making the superintelligence abilities a simple download rather than other forms of technology.


OpenAI has always focused on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning advances that benefit humanity. Recently, the company successfully trained a bot to play Minecraft using more than 70,000 hours of gameplay videos. The achievement is far more than just a bot playing a game. It marks a giant stride forward in advanced machine learning using observation and imitation.
