AIs that come to life 👻, brains in low power mode 🔋, Meta's MR headset 🥽, and more!
Hi! Welcome back to Augmented Rarity 💚. It's a diverse selection today as we have AI, XR, and web3 ✨
Don’t forget to like, share and comment so I know you read it 👽 Let’s begin 👇
When a MIT AI not only solves problems, but explains them to you in a human way and generates new questions 💻, you can definitely start worrying about the human race being replaceable haha Here’s the link to the paper.
I mean, some AIs have more “neurons” than many humans, even more “sentiment” than most of us 🙃. At least this is what an (ex) Google engineer suggests. Not that his AI is more human than us lol but that his AI had came to life 👻. I said ex google because they fired him 🤨. Here’s another article about this topic.
Not only your phone has a low power mode, but also your brain 🔋. Yes yes you imagine many people, or even yourself, living on low power mode as a joke, but neuroscientists from Edinburgh recently discovered that since our brain consumes the most energy, which comes from food, if we don't have enough food for a prolonged period, then our brain enters low power mode. Check out the paper here.
Project Cambria is almost here! At least Meta released a concept video with, tbh, the typical uses we all expect from MR since Microsoft already showed us years ago. But hey, education is knowledge, so it’s great they are focusing the ad into that 🎓. I guess if it was an Apple’s advertisement it would be a bit more fantastic 🎇.
And speaking of Meta, after many criticism on how Instagram is affecting the mental health of teenagers, its releasing new parental controls 🔒 for Instagram and Quest (VR) and they are apparently going back to developing a version of Instagram for kids under 13 (the project was on hold) 👶.
One more! The crypto market is experiencing a bear market again (BTC is 18.656,66 as I write this)🧸. So basically when it was bullish 🐂 (= it was growing super fast 🚀), Coinbase hired a loooot of people, and now they are cutting them off. Massing crypto firing. But like everything, it’s a cycle, so I’m sure it will go up again. Or not. What do you think? 🤓
And since Apple recently released its API for 3D scanning, I want to remind you that I started working on a self-commissioned project and documenting it on my channel. Here’s part 4 👇
(If you are curious watch it before I delete it! 👀)
Thanks for reading 👽
As always, see you next Sunday!
Have a great week! ✨
