Microsoft Starts Copilot at Windows Startup on Development Builds
January 15th, 2024I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that it would be a bad idea to use a system with this AI running in the background. Apparently, it can be turned off, for now. Via: Register: Microsoft is experimenting with having Copilot open automatically upon Windows startup. Described as a “Change and […]
The Global Project to Make a General Robotic Brain
January 13th, 2024In short, researchers are creating a large training dataset from multiple robotics laboratories and robotic systems. All of the different robots performed better when using the multirobot training data than with training data gathered from the individual robots. I don’t know if this will result in the sort of quantum leap in robotics that happened […]

The reusable space vehicle, which is understood to be broadly comparable to the U.S. Space Force’s X-37B, clearly has military applications, although the exact nature of its payloads remains mysterious. The […]
Synaptic Transistors
December 22nd, 2023Via: Live Science: Scientists have designed a transistor that stores and processes information like the human brain and can perform cognitive tasks that most artificial intelligence (AI) systems today struggle with. This technology, known as a “synaptic transistor,” mimics the architecture of the human brain — in which the processing power and memory are fully […]
