“If you look at the trajectory of improvement, GPT-3 was maybe toddler level intelligence, systems like GPT-4 are smart high schooler intelligence and in the next couple of years we’re looking at PhD level intelligence for specific tasks,” she said during a talk at Dartmouth.

Some took this to suggest we’d be waiting two years for GPT-5 but looking at other OpenAI revelations, such as a graph showing ‘GPT-Next’ this year and ‘future models’ going forward and CEO Sam Altman refusing to mention GPT-5 in recent interviews — I’m not convinced.

NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang believes that the AI frenzy will automate a whopping $50 trillion worth of companies, stating that Blackwell will play a dominant role.

NVIDIA Isn’t Taking The Foot of The AI Accelerator Pedal Any Time Soon, Plans To Take Blackwell’s Adoption To a Whole New Level

NVIDIA has undoubtedly managed to pick up a market that will progress rapidly in the future. Not only is every big tech firm, whether Microsoft or Amazon, forced into the race of “AI automation,” but the demand for adequate computing power is rising massively.

This may be about as wildly entertaining, disruptive and philosophically profound as legitimate scientific research gets. Michael Levin’s work in cellular intelligence, bioelectrical communication and embodied minds “is going to overturn everything.”

A new prototype chip from IBM Research could potentially bring energy-efficient AI to the edge.

China has released video footage of its rifle-toting robot dogs, and it’s about as scary as you were probably imagining.

Last week, Agence France-Presse reported that China had flaunted the gun-carrying robodogs in a 15-day joint military exercise with Cambodia dubbed the “Golden Dragon.”

A team of researchers led by the University of California San Diego has developed a soft, stretchy electronic device capable of simulating the feeling of pressure or vibration when worn on the skin. This device, reported in a paper published in Science Robotics (“Conductive block copolymer elastomers and psychophysical thresholding for accurate haptic effects”), represents a step towards creating haptic technologies that can reproduce a more varied and realistic range of touch sensations.

The device consists of a soft, stretchable electrode attached to a silicone patch. It can be worn like a sticker on either the fingertip or forearm. The electrode, in direct contact with the skin, is connected to an external power source via wires. By sending a mild electrical current through the skin, the device can produce sensations of either pressure or vibration depending on the signal’s frequency.
