Weiquan Lin/Getty Artificial intelligence (AI) has reached a tipping point. People have adopted AI at an unprecedented scale, with almost two billion users worldwide, according to an estimate by the US venture capital firm Menlo Ventures. Also: ChatGPT was downloaded 30 million times last month - but its user base data is more shocking And yet, very little money is being made, perhaps only $12 billion annually, with most of that figure accounted for by OpenAI.

Want to stand out in IT job interviews? 10 ways a home lab can help

marchmeena29 / Getty Images When I was a kid, my home lab consisted of test tubes and beakers, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), acetic acid (vinegar), and the occasional boom, followed closely by the sound of my mom in the distance yelling, "David Allen Gewirtz, you stop that right now." When the scold transitioned from "David Gewirtz" to "David Allen Gewirtz," I knew I was in trouble. To be fair, nothing prepared my nontechnical mom and dad to raise a future engineer.

Startling Percentage of Neuroscientists Say We Could Extract Memories From Dead Brains

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-09 02:45:16

Image by Getty Images Studies When you die, your memories die with you, never to be experienced again. Or at least, that's always been how the case. Now, though, in an exercise to assess shifting scientific consensus, a cohort of 312 neuroscientists were quizzed by researchers on whether memories might live on in the structure of deceased brains. And a surprisingly larger number — 70.7 percent of the group — believe they may, findings which were newly published in the science journal PLOS One.

When I first met Alex, last year, he was interested in a career in the arts, and he devoted a lot of his free time to photo shoots with his friends.

New proof dramatically compresses space needed for computation
