Google CEO: AI development is finally slowing down—‘the low-hanging fruit is gone’

Posted by in categories: innovation, robotics/AI

Generative artificial intelligence probably won’t change your life in 2025 — at least, not more than it already has, according to Google CEO Sundar Pichai.

When OpenAI launched ChatGPT two years ago, generative AI quickly captured the imagination of users around the world. Now, with the industry’s competitive landscape somewhat established — multiple big tech companies, including Google, have competing models — it’ll take time for another technological breakthrough to shock the AI industry into hyper-speed development again, Pichai said at the New York Times’ DealBook Summit last week.

Ancient cosmic collisions may have birthed the universe’s most monstrous galaxies

Posted by in categories: innovation, space

“Our findings take us closer to solving a long-standing mystery in astronomy that will redefine our understanding of how galaxies were created in the early universe.”

The team’s research was published on Wednesday (Dec. 4) in the journal Nature.

The team made their breakthrough using the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA). ALMA is the largest astronomical project in existence comprised of 66 radio antennas situated in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile.

Unlocking Real-Time Inflammation Monitoring with Active-Reset Protein Sensors.

Imagine a tiny device that could continuously monitor your body’s inflammation levels, offering insights in real time to help manage diseases. While sensors for small molecules like glucose have existed for years, tracking proteins—a critical component in understanding inflammation—has been a major challenge. Proteins are present at much lower levels in the body, and traditional sensors struggle with slow response times due to their high-affinity binding to these molecules.

A team led by Zargartalebi has now overcome this barrier by introducing active-reset protein sensors. These sensors employ high-frequency oscillations of positive voltage to rapidly release bound protein molecules from their sensing electrodes. This breakthrough allows the sensors to reset in under a minute, enabling continuous tracking of protein levels.

Breakthrough In Preemptive Detection Of AI Hallucinations Reveals Vital Clues To Writing Prompts That Keep Generative AI From Freaking Out

Posted by in categories: innovation, robotics/AI

You might be keenly interested to know that this eagerness to produce responses is something tuned into AI. The AI maker has made various computational adjustments to get the AI to press itself to respond. Why so? Because people want answers. If they aren’t getting answers from the AI, they will go someplace else. That’s not good for the AI maker since they are courting views.

There is a ton of research taking place about AI hallucinations. It is one of the most pressing AI issues of our time.

AI hallucinations are considered a scourge on the future of generative AI and LLMs. Sadly, the state-of-the-art AI still has them, for example, see my analysis of OpenAI’s most advanced ChatGPT or new model o1 that still indeed emits AI hallucinations at the link here. They are like the energy bunny and seem to just keep running.

Thalamus degeneration found to impact stroke recovery

Posted by in categories: innovation, neuroscience

A recent study by the Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care reveals that an area of the brain distinct from the stroke lesion may play a significant role in causing the life-altering symptoms with which survivors are often left, which can include severe challenges with speech, mobility and cognition. These results provide hope that innovative, non-invasive treatments could help improve or even fully reverse post-stroke symptoms.

Strokes (which more than 100,000 Canadians suffer every year) leave behind an area where brain cells have died, called a lesion. However, this cannot explain the widespread consequences of , limiting scientists’ and clinicians’ ability to treat them.

The study, titled “Secondary thalamic dysfunction underlies abnormal large-scale neural dynamics in chronic stroke,” published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals that degeneration of the thalamus—an area of the brain distinct from the stroke lesion—is a significant contributor to post-stroke symptoms.

New new Design for Photonic Time Crystals could Change How we Use and Control Light

Posted by in categories: innovation, materials

An international research team has for the first time designed realistic photonic time crystals–exotic materials that exponentially amplify light. The breakthrough opens up exciting possibilities across fields such as communication, imaging and sensing by laying the foundations for faster and more compact lasers, sensors and other optical devices.

“This work could lead to the first experimental realization of photonic time crystals, propelling them into practical applications and potentially transforming industries. From high-efficiency light amplifiers and advanced sensors to innovative laser technologies, this research challenges the boundaries of how we can control the light-matter interaction,” says Assistant Professor Viktar Asadchy from Aalto University, Finland.

The study is published in the journal Nature Photonics.

Hackers claim major breakthrough in Windows and Office license fraud

Posted by in categories: computing, innovation

Massgrave, a piracy group developing activation scripts for Microsoft products, claims to have discovered a new method to permanently activate “almost any version of Windows and Office.”

This group is behind the MAS (Microsoft Activation Scripts) project, which develops piracy tools to activate various versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems and Office products. Unauthorized software license manipulation is illegal in most jurisdictions.
