Terra Luna is down -99.99% — and the question is WHY? Plenty of theories have circulated about the cause of LUNA’s demise and most of the specific answers seem to be merely speculation.. however many people saw this coming. The question is how? I suggest 3 reasons you could’ve predicted TERRA LUNA / UST was going to fall apart.
Meta’s open-source new model OPT is GPT-3’s closest competitor!
We present Open Pre-trained Transformers (OPT), a suite of decoder-only pre-trained transformers ranging from 125M to 175B parameters, which we aim to fully and responsibly share with interested researchers. We show that OPT-175B is comparable to GPT-3, while requiring only 1/7th the carbon footprint to develop. We are also releasing our logbook detailing the infrastructure challenges we faced, along with code for experimenting with all of the released models.
Welcome to DeepMind: Embarking on one of the greatest adventures in scientific history
At DeepMind, we’re embarking on one of the greatest adventures in scientific history. Our mission is to solve intelligence, to advance science and benefit humanity.
To make this possible, we bring together scientists, designers, engineers, ethicists, and more, to research and build safe artificial intelligence systems that can help transform society for the better.
By combining creative thinking with our dedicated, scientific approach, we’re unlocking new ways of solving complex problems and working to develop a more general and capable problem-solving system, known as artificial general intelligence (AGI). Guided by safety and ethics, this invention could help society find answers to some of the most important challenges facing society today.
We regularly partner with academia and nonprofit organisations, and our technologies are used across Google devices by millions of people every day. From solving a 50-year-old grand challenge in biology with AlphaFold and synthesising voices with WaveNet, to mastering complex games with AlphaZero and preserving wildlife in the Serengeti, our novel advances make a positive and lasting impact.
Incredible ideas thrive when diverse people join together. With headquarters in London and research labs in Paris, New York, Montreal, Edmonton, and Mountain View, CA, we’re always looking for great people from all walks of life to join our mission.
Cardano, Ethereum founder explains blockchain technology and its future
Charles Hoskinson, a founder of the Cardano blockchain platform and a co-founder of the Ethereum blockchain platform, argues ‘there is a global desire to move to a transactional standard that is not controlled by just one nation.
How The Troubled Salton Sea Could Become The World’s Largest Lithium Supplier
In and around the shrinking, toxic Salton Sea, there’s enough lithium to meet the United States’ entire projected demand and fuel the electric vehicle revolution. Three companies are working to demonstrate new lithium extraction technologies in the area, and if their tech works at scale, it could produce the greenest lithium that the world has ever seen.

Is artificial intelligence the future of warfare? | UpFront
“If we’re looking for that one terminator to show up at our door, we’re maybe looking in the wrong place,” says Matt Mahmoudi, Amnesty International artificial intelligence researcher. “What we’re actually needing to keep an eye out for are these more mundane ways in which these technologies are starting to play a role in our everyday lives.”
Laura Nolan, a software engineer and a former Google employee now with the International Committee for Robot Arms Control, agrees. “These kinds of weapons, they’re very intimately bound up in surveillance technologies,” she says of lethal autonomous weapons systems or LAWS.
Beyond surveillance, Nolan warns that: “Taking the logic of what we’re doing in warfare or in our society, and we start encoding it in algorithms and processes … can lead to things spinning out of control.”
But Mahmoudi, says there is hope for banning autonomous weapons, citing existing protections against the use of chemical and biological weapons. “It’s never too late, but we have to put human beings and not data points ahead of the agenda.”
On UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill discusses the risks behind autonomous weapons with the International Committee for Robot Arms Control’s Laura Nolan and Amnesty International’s Matt Mahmoudi.
