Transform the Internet | The Future With Hannah Fry
Soon, another billion people will be online, mostly from developing nations. How will these new users embrace this technology to transform their lives, and what will it mean for the rest of the world? Do you want to know what your future holds? A life beyond 150 years old? A world where computers can read our emotions? A planet transformed by unlimited clean energy? Mathematician Hannah Fry will explore these questions and more.
Meet the world’s ‘most advanced’ humanoid robot
Standing in the office of Will Jackson, founder of Engineered Arts, is Ameca, a robot that can talk and move like a human.
It is the latest and most advanced iteration of two-decades of robot development from Engineered Arts, a humanoid manufacturer based in Cornwall, England.
Ameca is an advanced piece of machinery, designed to interact with humans for entertainment and social purposes.
Its head alone contains 27 motors that help it replicate human facial movements. It has cameras in each of the eyes to allow Ameca to “see” the world around it.
The robot also has the ability to understand and respond to questions posed by humans. How? Ameca can run large artificial intelligence models, the kind that underpin ChatGPT. Currently, Engineered Arts is trialing GPT 4, the latest AI model from OpenAI.
Ameca can also tell jokes, respond in voices of celebrities or famous TV characters, and even dance. She even addressed concerns about whether robots pose a threat to humanity.
The robot cannot yet walk, but Engineered Arts is working on technology to allow Ameca to do so.
Watch CNBC Tech: The Edge’s visit to Engineered Arts’ headquarters in Falmouth, U.K., and even a short interview with Ameca, in the video above.
This $10M U.S. Army Laser Melts Drones With $3 Beams | WSJ Equipped
In Ukraine and the Red Sea, low-tech drones are changing the way wars are fought. The U.S. and other countries are investing in a new and inexpensive way to retaliate: lasers. Compared with traditional weapons, lasers present some key challenges: they have a shorter range, limited power and can be harder to fix when issues arise. WSJ explains how the BlueHalo LOCUST laser weapon system works and why the tech is so difficult to perfect.

AI podcast hosts have existential crisis after being told they are not real
Sky News host Caleb Bond discusses how Google’s ‘NotebookLM’ AI recently had an existential crisis. “It has often been asked what happens when artificial intelligence manages to outsmart us, will it be the end of humanity,” Mr Bond said. “Google recently launched a service … which allows you to feed an article into it and then it generates a podcast of two people talking to each other about the article.”
Quantum Explained
In explaining quantum technology, professor of physics and director of the MIT Center for Quantum Computing, Will Oliver cites MIT’s interdisciplinarity as a key component in developing these technologies. In this video he, along with research scientist Jeff Grover, explore the origins of quantum mechanics and the state of quantum computing today.
I Didn’t Believe that AI is the Future of Coding. I Was Right.
With the rise of AI, we’ve been told that the technology can be used to help software engineers code more efficiently. We have heard plenty of warnings that AI might even take their jobs. But a bunch of studies now show that AI doesn’t help software development as much as promised — at least for now. Let’s take a look.
Flux AI Tutorial: FREE AI Image Generator on Your PC
We’ll walk you through how to use Flux AI by Black Forest Labs to create stunning, realistic images just by typing a description of what you want to see! Flux is known for its exceptional image generation, particularly with details like hands and text, where other AI models often struggle.
I’ll show you how to install and run Flux using Pinokio, a tool that handles all the necessary dependencies for running AI models. Whether you’re using Windows, Mac, or Linux, this guide will have you up and running in no time.
With Flux, you can choose between two models: the Schnell model for faster, commercially usable images, and the dev model for higher-quality results. I’ll also demonstrate how to customize prompts, adjust image dimensions, and generate the perfect image using an NVIDIA RTX graphics card for the best performance
