Gert-Jan Oskam resided in China when he experienced a motorcycle accident that resulted in paralysis from the waist down. However, scientists have now granted him regained control over his lower body using a combination of innovative devices. During a press briefing on Tuesday, Mr. Oskam expressed, “For 12 years, I have been striving to regain...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of our lives, revolutionizing how we interact with technology. However, as AI becomes more sophisticated, it raises questions about the ethical implications and potential risks associated with its use. For example, the man who recreated his childhood imaginary friend using AI. The dangers of AI in everyday...
Scientists from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland have accidentally discovered a new material that can ‘remember’ like a brain. The discovery of this material could have significant implications for the development of new types of computers and artificial intelligence that can more closely mimic the capabilities of the human brain. A Material...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly prevalent in our daily lives – probably more than many of us realize. While there are many positive benefits to the technology, there are certainly some drawbacks, as well as potential dangers. Sadly, this young father in Belgium ended up taking his own life after spending weeks talking to...
A man who went on a 2000-person nude cruise ship shares what would happen if someone got aroused. On a 2000-person nudist ship, a cruise guest described what transpired after someone became a little too flirtatious. I’ve seen Titanic too many times to ever consider going on a cruise, but maybe the thought of all...
Polio Paul, real name Paul Alexander, passed away. In 1952, when Alexander was six years old, he became ill with polio and had to be taken to a hospital in Texas. Alexander was sickened by a virus that at the time was killing thousands of people, but he lived thanks to an iron lung. He...
Technology is moving fast. So quickly, in fact, that some experts suggest a possible trend in which artificial intelligence (AI) will reach the singularity within seven years. At this point, there will be no distinction between human and machine or physical and virtual reality. They say this could be by the end of this decade. ...
AI can make art now. Tools like Dall-E Mini, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion allow users to write a prompt for the artificial intelligence program to interpret into an image. Within a few minutes, an idea for a picture can appear on a computer screen. The AI uses an algorithm to generate images based on real...
World-renowned physicist and cosmologist, Stephen Hawking (1942-2018) left behind a trail of famous quotes, wise words, and inspirational sayings before his death. But he’s also known for his real talk, telling audiences that humankind is greedy and a threat to the planet. In 2016, during an interview with Larry King of the Larry King Now talk...
Skyscrapers are no longer a rare sight in any big metropolis. However, architects keep coming up with innovative new looks for these soaring structures. Among the latest is the planned Infinity-loop Skyscraper that will function as the Huanghzou headquarters for OPPO, the Chinese smartphone company. The design images surfaced in 2021. BIG, an architecture studio...
Self-driving cars are one of the latest innovations in the automotive industry. But what happens when Artificial Intelligence rises up against humanity, will we survive? After all, if science-fiction books and movies are to be believed, we would be killed by an entire horde of automated Volkswagen Beetles in perfect formation. In fact, if we...
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have built a robotic finger covered in live human skin. This is a major step in the eventual goal of creating robots that resemble real people. According to biohybrid engineer Shoji Takeuchi, human-like robots can work more seamlessly in medical care and service industries than in inhuman-looking versions. Still,...
