The approach could one day serve as a new treatment for COVID-19.

Traditional Argentine barbecues date back to the 16th century. One inventor created a new twist on the custom, turning discarded fruit from cider production into logs that can replace firewood and charcoal.

This paper provides evidence that a theoretical computer science (TCS) perspective can add to our understanding of consciousness by providing a simple framework for employing tools from computational complexity theory and machine learning. Just as the Turing machine is a simple model to define and explore computation, the Conscious Turing Machine (CTM) is a simple model to define and explore consciousness (and related concepts). The CTM is not a model of the brain or cognition, nor is it intended to be, but a simple substrate-independent computational model of (the admittedly complex concept of) consciousness. This paper is intended to introduce this approach, show its possibilities, and stimulate research in consciousness from a TCS perspective.

“I’ve been banging this AI drum for a decade,” Musk told Business Insider.

Musk’s latest warning is that smart people who assume they could never be fooled by a machine are in effect lowering their guard to any AI trickery coming their way.

An interesting development, you could say revision, or even a back-tracking on the vision for just what it is that Meta plans to build, eventually.

I think it’s important to keep in mind, despite the excitement, that these technologies are still experimental in many ways, they take time to develop, and they will change. Keeping this in mind can help to temper our expectations, but also to spot the hype.

Eventually, the most ethical option might be to divert all resources toward building very happy machines.
