Zuckerberg Says Meta Is Now Seeing Signs of Advanced AI Improving Itself

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-25 20:30:31

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is making some very grandiose statements amid his ludicrously expensive quest to gain a lead in the AI industry. It's easy to get caught up in the human drama of his talent hunt. But in the very first lines of a new public letter about his so-called Superintelligence Lab, the tech founder made a claim that's either a staight-up fib, a very generous reading of a situation, or a clue that he's closer to enacting profound change in the world than almost anyone realizes.

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-25 23:05:43

AYANEO Pocket S2 The Pocket S2 is the most powerful Android gaming handheld you can buy, with a massive battery to boot. Only small sticks and a non-OLED screen keep it from achieving absolute perfection, if you can afford it. When it comes to truly premium Android gaming handhelds, AYANEO practically owns the market. Its devices are admitedly niche compared to the likes of Retroid and ANBERNIC, but they offer premium devices with performance that blows away the competition. So when it was ann

My name is D. Sculley. I lead several teams at Google in Cambridge doing research in various aspects of machine learning.

I'm interested in learning more about other forms of fabrication and seeing if there are interesting cross-domain opportunities to think about. Here is my Google

If taking an aspirin or simply lying down isn't cutting it when you have a headache, you may want to consider what's on your plate for relief.

19 Best Barefoot Shoes for Running or Walking (2025), Tested and Reviewed

wired.com Scott Gilbertson 2025-12-25 21:00:00

FAQs How do you define a barefoot shoe? Readers often ask why we don't include Altra or other zero-drop shoes. The answer has to do with how thick the sole is. Our definition of a barefoot shoe is that it should have a thin sole, or stack height as this is sometimes called. I put the cutoff at 10 mm or less (ideally less) to allow for good ground feel and toe splay, and to give you the kinds of feedback your foot needs to maintain natural movement. That said, there are some categories where t

Inside OpenAI’s quest to make AI do anything for you

Shortly after Hunter Lightman joined OpenAI as a researcher in 2022, he watched his colleagues launch ChatGPT, one of the fastest-growing products ever. Meanwhile, Lightman quietly worked on a team teaching OpenAI’s models to solve high school math competitions. Today that team, known as MathGen, is considered instrumental to OpenAI’s industry-leading effort to create AI reasoning models: the core technology behind AI agents that can do tasks on a computer like a human would. “We were trying t

Tesla just got handed one of its biggest legal blows yet — one that could have seismic implications for its future operations. On Friday, a Miami jury ruled that the Elon Musk-owned automaker's Autopilot driver assistance software was partially at fault for a horrendous collision that killed a 22-year-old woman in 2019 and severely injured her boyfriend. In total, the jury ordered Tesla to pay $329 million to the surviving family of the victims, Naibel Benavides and Dillon Angulo, including $2

The first thing I do every time I need to learn a new codebase is to start drawing the UML diagram of its classes, and usually give up soon after I started. The process of doing it manually is certainly useful, but now with reflections I figure it would be fun to try generate it instead. With C++26 reflections[1] the general consensus is that the magnitude of language change is comparable to what happened with C++11. After my little experiment with it, I would cautiously agree.

We Must Admit That This Video of Two Small Robots Punching Each Other With Boxing Gloves Is Pretty Awesome

These days, robots with varying degrees of impressiveness can manage all kinds of tasks. But two diminutive humanoids seen boxing with outsize gloves at the recent World AI Conference in Shanghai may take the cake.
