He invented tunnels!

Cool and weird at the same time I think I’ll call it Coird

Came here to say this. Definitely not Musk’s idea.

> Despite AI’s impressive track record, its computational power pales in comparison with a human brain.
This is not true , no human can do what an 1TB model can do. There doesnt seem to be any limit in sight to scaling and extending AI models, as opposed to humans and other brains.
Organoids don't have anatomy, layering and connectivity, which our brain does. a giant unstructured clump of neurons is not necessarily smarter (like elephants or dolphins)
> Dr Brett Kagan of the Cortical Labs
This team used an organoid to 'learn' to play the game of Pong last year, but there is a lot left to be desired in that paper. The extent to which it 'learned' (rather than adapted slightly) is debateable, as are the consequences of their findings

Would this technically be life in the eyes of the anti-abortion crowd?

Is this really a hyperloop? I'm pretty sure the concept for a hyperloop was specifically freeways underground for battery-powered electric vehicles, but this seems to be specifically for unique cargo containers that are guided and propelled along an electromagnetic track, which makes it more like...a train or subway.

Right! It would be a game changer. Let's hope it's something we see in the near future.

I think they said it detects the waste from certain cells to identify the cancer.

If we could print stuff like that, that would be amazing on so many levels.

If you actually think Musk is going to do anything other than justify his position as the Worlds Most Annoying Shithead I've got some oceanfront property in Montana to sell you. The private space companies are making small developments woth technologies such as reusable rockets, yes, but overwhelming the major programs that actually intend to put people on the moon by decades end are government.
Once again per my previous comment, Artemis 3 is a manned mission planned for landing in 2025. 4 is planned for 2027 and all the way up to 8 are planned to bring more and more people and infrastructure up there. And that's just NASA, you should look at your own Heracles program.
So what would you prefer? We all just give up on space?

Arguably, true AGI is a new life form, whether it is on silicon or meat. I don't believe that the current versions of machine learning will lead to AGI because of a few things but one of them is energy. If we get better energy efficiency (and maybe it scales, idk), then we can go full steam toward AGI because a huge hurdle is removed. But if we could somehow remove that hurdle and build AGI using our existing tools, I would still class it as closer to life than closer to machine. The autonomy of the thought and a real desire to exist (not a pretend one like what is farted out by the Puppet Known as ChatGPT) is evidence of life - but that's me.

I think you should link to the project so that more people might check it out. Also, even with a separate platform, I think it is extremely likely that you will need multi-platform ads or small segments as a wide net to draw more people to your platform, just like getting people to check out your channel on existing platforms. This is a marketing/presentation problem, not merely a per se content problem.

Getting major Deus Ex vibes from this. Only played the Jensen games, thinking of Hyron from Human Revolution.

The only problem I have with this is that if we did manage to tweak algorithms to skew positive instead of negative, then everything would be flooded with cheap low-effort positive stuff instead of cheap low-effort negative content.
For sure it would be an improvement is the constant flood of prattle had a more positive tone, but I don't know how much it would help, especially with what passes for "positive" or "wholesome" or "heartwarming" anymore. It would just be variations on, " School kids raised $50,000 to save 10 orphans from the orphan-crushing machine" all the time.

I mean, is it really considered artificial general intelligence at that point if we're just shoving neurons into a computer? Wouldn't it just be intelligence in general.
At the point of putting neurons into a computer, we've effectively created a new species of cyborg life. I see it as just being a new life form if it's based on living neurons

If Jimmy Neutron gets to have a dog, then I get to have friends.
Also Asimovian robots are way more chill than most people I know.
