Jacob Ward reports on how the invisible power structures we are assembling, by accident and on purpose, have the potential to change not just individual lives but the very future of humanity.
Blockchain and the Rise of Artificial Intelligence
Raj Gokal, Co-Founder of Solana and Board Member of the Solana Foundation, says some of the most exciting AI adoption is coming out of NFTs.
Why OpenAI’s CEO Called for AI Safety Standards at Senate Hearing | Tech News Briefing | WSJ
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI the company behind ChatGPT, told lawmakers they should create licensing and safety standards for advanced artificial intelligence systems. But Congress has historically had a tough time when it comes to regulating technology.
WSJ tech policy reporter Ryan Tracy joins host Zoe Thomas to discuss what happened during the Senate subcommittee hearing.
Musk’s Tesla Ad Plan Not a Bad Idea: Ark’s Keeney
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the electric-car maker will dabble in advertisements, a major shift for the company that’s largely avoided traditional marketing. Ark Invest Analyst Tasha Keeney joins Ed Ludlow to explain why she thinks it’s not a bad idea.
Top 5 Solar Energy Advances Using Perovskites
For years, perovskite solar cells have promised revolutionary improvements compared to traditional silicon solar panels. Perovskite could hold the key to higher efficiency at lower costs and in some cases has shown a 250% performance boost. But scientists have been working on improving this solar energy tech since the 1990s. What do we have to show for it today? This feels like yet another piece of over-hyped, planet-saving tech, perpetually 10 years away from adoption, right? Maybe not … they might finally be on the market before the end of this year. Let’s look at 5 perovskite solar panel advances since the last time we talked about it.
AI vs Machine Learning
What is really the difference between Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)? Are they actually the same thing? In this video, Jeff Crume explains the differences and relationship between AI & ML, as well as how related topics like Deep Learning (DL) and other types and properties of each.
Google Just Turned the Raspberry Pi into a Supercomputer…
The Raspberry Pi is a small, single-board computer that is often used for educational and hobbyist projects. However, it is not typically considered to be a powerful computer. This video demonstrates combining Raspberry Pi with Google Coral, which is an edge AI platform that provides hardware, software, and pre-trained models to help developers build intelligent devices that can run machine learning models locally.
How ChatGPT Works Technically | ChatGPT Architecture
The video discusses how ChatGPT works technically, and its architecture. ChatGPT is a large language model, also known as a conversational AI or chatbot trained to be informative and comprehensive. It is trained on a massive amount of text data, and is able to communicate and generate human-like text in response to a wide range of prompts and questions.
ChatGPT uses a neural network architecture, which is a type of machine learning model that is able to learn from data and make predictions. The neural network is trained on a massive dataset of text and code, and is able to generate text that is grammatically correct and semantically similar to the text it was trained on.
The video also discusses the challenges of training a large language model, such as the need for a massive amount of data, the computational resources required, and the potential for bias.
The Greatest Proof We’re In a Simulation
The double-slit experiment has baffled scientists for 200 years.
The Big Lie About Nuclear Waste
Nuclear waste is scary. Maybe you’ve seen it as glowing green goop in The Simpsons, or as a radioactive threat on the news. Either way, you likely know it has been a major block to the use and improvement of nuclear power. Over the last few decades, experts, politicians and the public have had heated debates over what to do with this radioactive material created by nuclear power plants.
But what if there were a way to not just store nuclear waste, but actually USE it?
This video is about the effort to make electricity out of nuclear waste. Really. It turns out, we developed the tools to do this decades ago. This story is about a technology we left behind and the people who want to bring it back.
For this video, I had the privilege of visiting one of the largest and oldest research centers in the US, the Argonne National Laboratory. I’m incredibly grateful to the researchers and staff I met there, and for their time in showing me their work. I also had the opportunity to speak with representatives from Oklo, a company working on new forms of nuclear power, including recycling nuclear waste as fuel. One of the best parts of making Huge If True is meeting and learning from people pushing what we can do in the hopes of improving the world for everyone else.
