Brain-computer interfaces are a groundbreaking technology that can help paralyzed people regain functions they’ve lost, like moving a hand. These devices record signals from the brain and decipher the user’s intended action, bypassing damaged or degraded nerves that would normally transmit those brain signals to control muscles.

Pokročilé civilizace by se mohly prozradit černoděrovým měsícem

Fyzik a vizionář Avi Loeb spočítal, že pokud by si technologicky zdatná civilizace na potulné planetě pořídila černou díru o váze 100 tisíc tun a krmila by ji 2,2 kg odpadu za sekundu, získala by velmi výkonný zdroj energie. Pokud najdeme potulnou planetu s měsícem, který bude zdrojem gama záření, měli bychom mít jasno. http://www.osel.cz/13626-pokrocile-civilizace-by-se-mohly-prozradit-cernoderovym-mesicem.html

This TikTok-viral musician ‘ruins’ songs with AI. But is it parody or infringement?

It was not a typical House Judiciary Committee hearing. Country music star Lainey Wilson was in attendance, for one thing, but the most unusual aspect of the February summit on AI and identity theft was when Rep. Darrell Issa played what sounded an awful lot like Johnny Cash singing the lyrics to Danish-Norwegian dance-pop anthem “Barbie Girl.”
