AI Is Beginning to Construct Higher AI<\/strong><\/a>Matthew Hutson | IEEE Spectrum<\/em><\/p>\n “In 1966, the English mathematician IJ Good wrote that ‘an ultraintelligent machine could design even higher machines; there would then unquestionably be an “intelligence explosion,” and the intelligence of man can be left far behind.’ AI researchers have long seen recursive self-improvement, or RSI, as something to each desire and fear. Today, advances in AI are raising the query of whether parts of that process are already underway.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This Driverless Chinese Mining Truck Is Giant, Agile, and Shows the Industrial Way forward for AI<\/strong><\/a>Jesus Diaz | Fast Company<\/em><\/p>\n “In the event you thought that embodied\u00a0AI\u00a0was all about humanoids and robotic good boys, allow me to introduce you to the Shuanglin K7. Equipped with a Level 4 driving brain that enables it to operate with no human intervention, this massive robot on 4 wheels can literally move on a dime, rotating 360 degrees by itself vertical axis and moving sideways like a crab, operating 24\/7.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This \u2018Living\u2019 Plastic Comes With a Built-in Kill Switch<\/strong><\/a>Gayoung Lee | Gizmodo<\/em><\/p>\n “The goal was to engineer the bacterium\u00a0Bacillus subtilis\u00a0to supply two cooperative enzymes: one to snip the polymer chain and one other to chew up these smaller bits into smaller molecules\u2014essentially nothing. …’By embedding these microbes, plastics could effectively \u2018come alive\u2019 and self-destruct on command,’ Dai said.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Secret to Understanding AI<\/strong><\/a>Josh Tyrangiel | The Atlantic ($)<\/em><\/p>\n “If we don\u2019t shape AI for good, in our government and in our day by day lives, it can be shaped by individuals who don\u2019t know or care about our problems. If we don\u2019t teach it what matters, another person will teach it what\u2019s profitable. The alternative isn\u2019t between a world with AI and a world without it. The alternative is between AI designed by individuals who think fixing things is definitely worth the trouble, and AI designed by individuals who think breaking things is more efficient.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Forget Expensive Carbon Capture\u2014Renewables Are the Cheaper Climate Fix<\/strong><\/a>Ellyn Lapointe | Gizmodo<\/em><\/p>\n “The findings,\u00a0published\u00a0Monday in Communications Sustainability, show that renewable energy is much more cost effective than direct air capture\u2014a growing carbon removal strategy\u2014at reducing atmospheric carbon. Across nearly every US region through 2050, money spent deploying wind or solar energy will deliver a greater combined climate and public health profit than whether it is spent on direct air capture, in accordance with the study.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Here\u2019s What Has to Occur if NASA Desires to Land on the Moon Every Month<\/strong><\/a>Stephen Clark | Ars Technica<\/em><\/p>\n “NASA\u2019s goal of reaching the moon\u2019s surface as many as 21 times over the following two and a half years would require an overhaul of the agency\u2019s approach to purchasing lunar landers and success in rectifying the myriad problems which have, thus far, caused three of the last 4 US landing attempts to falter.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Pentagon Think Tank Tests Ingenious Plan to Protect Coasts From Hurricanes\u2014and It\u2019s Working<\/strong><\/a>Matthew Phelan | Gizmodo<\/em><\/p>\n “DARPA-developed hybrid reefs installed between October 2024 and March 2025 at Tyndall AFB have cut ocean wave power to shore by greater than 90% in tests, in accordance with the agency\u2019s university collaborators at Rutgers, all while supporting local reef growth and coastal habitat.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nRobotics<\/h4>\n
