PrimerAI introduces ‘near-zero hallucination’ update to AI platform

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

The hallucination issue will be resolved well before 2029/2030; the power issue also.


An AI company says it’s figured out a way to get its platform to make almost zero mistakes when assessing data.

The Yin and Yang of AI: Continuous vs. Discrete Information Models

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Title: See…


Artificial intelligence software was used to enhance the grammar, flow, and readability of this article’s text.

Artificial intelligence systems aim to comprehend and convey information in increasingly human ways. Behind the scenes, different models represent that information using either continuous or discrete structures.

Robot placed under the control of a fungal overlord

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Robots controlled by fungi, despite giving strong Last of Us vibes, are a good idea on paper; fungi are very easy to sustain and can live pretty much everywhere, including extreme environments like the Arctic, or even amid nuclear contamination.


A mushroom’s response to environmental changes can be used to control a robot.

BYD’s China factory employs Walker S1 humanoid robot for manual work

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

The goal of UBTech is to reduce human labor to only 10% by deploying humanoid robots, with human workers focusing on higher-level tasks such as collaboration and tool management.


UBTech aims for humanoid robots — like Walker S1 — to handle 20% of factory work, reducing human roles to 10%.

AI Explained: AI Agents Are Quietly Taking Over Everyday Tasks

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, business, employment, finance, robotics/AI

Although UBTech is leaving 10% of work for humans in management, other AI tech is being specifically developed for that niche: OpenAI’s new framework, Swarm, allows AI agents to collaborate and independently execute complex tasks, potentially boosting business efficiency.


Artificial intelligence agents are everywhere, quietly reshaping industries and automating tasks we didn’t think possible a few years ago. Unlike basic automation, these AI agents can handle complex jobs, think independently and learn from their environment. The result? Healthcare, finance and logistics businesses are seeing rapid gains in efficiency — and, in some cases, doing away with manual work altogether.

What are AI agents exactly? They’re software programs that carry out specific tasks without constant supervision. Whether handling customer requests, diagnosing medical conditions or predicting market trends, AI agents are versatile workhorses. Instead of waiting for humans to input every command, these agents operate autonomously, reacting to real-time data and adjusting their actions accordingly.

People are using Google study software to make AI podcasts—and they’re weird and amazing

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

“All right, so today we are going to dive deep into some cutting-edge tech,” a chatty American male voice says.


NotebookLM, which was originally marketed as a study tool, has taken a life of its own among users. The company is now working on adding more customization options, such as changing the length, format, voices, and languages, Martin said. Currently it’s supposed to generate podcasts only in English, but some users on Reddit managed to get the tool to create audio in French and Hungarian.

Yes, it’s cool—bordering on delightful, even—but it is also not immune from the problems that plague generative AI, such as hallucinations and bias.

Watch: Jetson founder pushes the limits of ‘Freestyle’ eVTOL agility

Posted by in categories: drones, electronics, robotics/AI

Jetson Founder Tomasz Patan is clearly getting very comfortable with the Jetson One eVTOL’s flight control system … Watch him wrench the controls around to show off how sharply – and safely – this thing can handle tight turns in flight.

Multicopter drones were revolutionary little gadgets when they started to appear on the scene for a number of reasons, but one was their highly automated fly-by-wire control systems. No human could manually control motor speeds on upwards of four rotors simultaneously, but a sensor-equipped flight control system certainly could – hence, drones like the DJI Phantom were able to automatically lift off and land, maintain altitude if required, and self-balance against wind gusts to hover in place, while also responding quickly to a pilot’s commands.

Elon Musk announced that Tesla may begin selling its humanoid Optimus robot by the end of next year

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, robotics/AI

Predicting it could drive the carmaker towards a $25 trillion valuation.

Experts believe this ambitious claim is within the realm of possibility. Optimus is still in development but will enter production next year, with Musk stating that Tesla could have “a few thousand” units working in its factories, reaffirming his earlier timeline.
