MIT's Robotic Cheetah Taught Itself How to Run and Set a New Speed Record in the Process
"It might not be the most graceful thing to watch when moving at high speeds, but the Mini Cheetah hit a new top speed of 3.9 m/s, or a little over 8.7 MPH, which is faster than the average human can run."

Scientists Turn Nuclear Waste Into Diamond Batteries That Could Last For Thousands Of Years
https://www.physics-astronomy.co…
Rather than storing energy generated elsewhere, the battery generates its own charge. It is constructed of two kinds of nano-diamonds, which makes it almost crash-proof when used in vehicles or other moving things. Additionally, the business claims that its battery is safe since it emits less radiation than the human body.
NDB has already created a proof of concept and intends to construct its first commercial prototype once its laboratories restart operations after the COVID outbreak(which should be soon).
The nuclear waste from which NDB intends to manufacture its batteries consists of reactor components that have become radioactive as a result of exposure to nuclear power plant fuel rods.
- And you thought we had problems with pollution from li batteries. Wait until people start dumping radioactive waste in municipal landfillsmonNom

The next generation of text to image AI. Could this replace illustrators?
- give this algorithm some time and it will replace photoshop, indesign, blender & co. disrupting the industry. you will talk to the machine and it will execute.uan
- AI recombines images/styles it has been trained on, ie. it will not create anything radically new, say a completely new style.drgs
- Counter point https://m.youtube.co…robotinc
- Don’t humans just recreate what they’ve seen?Chimp
- the most eloquent will prevail..neverscared
- show me a client that really cares about radical and new, they just want it to look like all the other shit out there_niko
- that point were this becomes academic is if u have a superior understanding of 3d software and it´s possibilty space to make a difference in detail andneverscared
- composition ... otherwise its a tool for fools.. will be interresting to c how the difference will look of a 3d software wiz and somebody who can not speak itneverscared
- with tech virtuosity.neverscared
- Super interesting. Thank you!SimonFFM
- I like these things as fun ideas, but the people developing them usually use them for really boring purposes before abandoning them.PhanLo
- Didn't we have this conversation last week?
https://www.qbn.com/…garbage - If you're in your mid 30s, GANs will make all of your skills irrelevant in your lifetime. Being a creative will be about as useful as being a coal miner.garbage
- the thing is - ai art lacks the narrative a human piece of art/illustration has. but yep.. design/art/graphics... worse career choice ever.shapesalad
- I imagine in the future AI will write an article based on a certain current events then it will produce the cover art based on the headline.Chimp
- The AI used (DALL.E): https://openai.com/d…jagara
- doesn't look like it lacks the narrative when you give the right input https://i.imgur.com/…Beeswax
- Exactly. Human input is used to compose the discriminative network. This is how generative adversarial networks operate.garbage
- Once there's a large enough database of convincing output, it will be self-driving. Then just occasional update libraries for whatever is trending.garbage
- And then: SKYNETjagara
- And hopefully UBI, because people who have spent decades honing a craft will be obsolete.garbage

https://www.theverge…Nairn - Human beings are idiotsPhanLo
- it should be also easy to AI generate counter or protecting substances. why not publish a paper and a main stream article about that instead?uan
- Because that wouldn't be highlighting a new threat vector?Nairn
- which is not avoidable as stated in the article. so why not focus on a proposal for solutions instead.uan
- c'mon!

Photorealistic Monocular 3D Reconstruction of Humans Wearing Clothing
"Given a single image, we reconstruct the full 3D geometry – including self-occluded (or unseen) regions – of the photographed person, together with albedo and shaded surface color. Our end-to-end trainable pipeline requires no image matting and reconstructs all outputs in a single step."

- I'll believe it when I see it actually done, not the results. Honestly, looks like total bs to me, but we'll see, someday.formed

Sometimes I use Copy AI to help me generate ideas I can later tweak when I don’t have the budget for a copywriter.
It’s far from perfect but imagine where it will be in 10-20 years.
