Apple’s Reminders app has become a powerful task manager in recent years, and there’s one highly versatile feature that helps me stay sane when my to-do list grows out of control: Smart Lists. My Reminders Smart List to focus on what matters most The Reminders app is equipped with several built-in lists where I spend most of my time on any given day. ‘Today’ and ‘Scheduled’ are my typical go-tos, as I imagine they are for most users. But there are times my to-dos get a little unruly, and I n

Google apparently has one weird trick to hoard its talent from poachers: paying them to not work. As Business Insider reports, some United Kingdom-based employees at Google's DeepMind AI lab are paid to do nothing for six months — or, in fewer cases, up to a year — after they quit their jobs. Known as "garden leave," this type of cushy clause is the luckier stepsister to so-called "noncompete" agreements, which prohibit employees and contractors from working with a competitor for a designated

I work best seated at my desk setup with multiple screens in front of me However, when I travel or just need to get out of the house for a bit, I can’t bring my setup with me—or at least I thought I couldn’t. Now I know what you’re thinking. Why don’t I just go with one of the best laptops instead? Well, I’ve tried and while my trusty ThinkPad hasn’t let me down yet, I still end up using it with extra peripherals and oftentimes, a portable monitor too, which kind of defeats the purpose of using

In Brief Retaining top AI talent is tough amid cutthroat competition between Google, OpenAI, and other heavyweights. Google’s AI division, DeepMind, has resorted to using “aggressive” noncompete agreements for some AI staff in the U.K. that bar them from working for competitors for up to a year, Business Insider reports. Some are paid during this time, in what amounts to a lengthy stretch of PTO. But the practice can make researchers feel left out of the quick pace of AI progress, reported BI

As AI hype permeates the Internet, tech and business leaders are already looking toward the next step. AGI, or artificial general intelligence, refers to a machine with human-like intelligence and capabilities. If today's AI systems are on a path to AGI, we will need new approaches to ensure such a machine doesn't work against human interests. Unfortunately, we don't have anything as elegant as Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. Researchers at DeepMind have been working on this problem and

Google DeepMind on Wednesday published an exhaustive paper on its safety approach to AGI, roughly defined as AI that can accomplish any task a human can. AGI is a bit of a controversial subject in the AI field, with naysayers suggesting that it’s little more than a pipe dream. Others, including major AI labs like Anthropic, warn that it’s around the corner, and could result in catastrophic harms if steps aren’t taken to implement appropriate safeguards.

Stamina usually has a physical and competitive connotation — those with greater stamina can outwork and outlast opponents. While stamina is the ability to sustain focused effort despite pain or discomfort, you should also think of it as the ability to stay true to your values and commitments — to hold fidelity to a worthy purpose — especially when it’s hard to do so. Stamina, in this way, is not just the thing you deploy to keep running when your legs have gone volcanic. It’s contributing as p

The big picture: While companies continue to improve robotic hardware, developing AI software to truly bring these machines to life has remained an elusive goal. This is especially disappointing given the remarkable advancements in "smart" language models. Now, Google's AI research lab has come closer than ever to bridging this gap.

Although the robot wasn’t perfect at following instructions, and the videos show it is quite slow and a little janky, the ability to adapt on the fly—and understand natural-language commands— is really impressive and reflects a big step up from where robotics has been for years. “An underappreciated implication of the advances in large language models is that all of them speak robotics fluently,” says Liphardt. “This [research] is part of a growing wave of excitement of robots quickly becoming

The German firm has been criticised over the past few years for moving many of the vital controls in its cars from physical buttons and dials to the infotainment touchscreen.
