What Will Your Life Look Like in 2035?<\/a>Words by Robert Booth and Dan Milmo. Illustrations by Jay Cover | The Guardian<\/p>\n

“When AIs become consistently more capable than humans, life could change in strange ways. It could happen in the next few years, or a little longer. If and when it comes, our domestic routines\u2014trips to the doctor, farming, work, and justice systems\u2014could all look very different. Here we take a look at how the era of artificial general intelligence might feel.”<\/p>\n

OpenAI Built an AI Coding Agent and Uses It to Improve the Agent Itself<\/a>Benj Edwards | Ars Technica<\/p>\n

“In interviews with Ars Technica this week, OpenAI employees revealed the extent to which the company now relies on its own AI coding agent, Codex, to build and improve the development tool. ‘I think the vast majority of Codex is built by Codex, so it\u2019s almost entirely just being used to improve itself,’ said Alexander Embiricos, product lead for Codex at OpenAI, in a conversation on Tuesday.”<\/p>\n

AI Coding Is Now Everywhere. But Not Everyone Is Convinced.<\/a>Edd Gent | MIT Technology Review ($)<\/p>\n

“Depending who you ask, AI-powered coding is either giving software developers an unprecedented productivity boost or churning out masses of poorly designed code that saps their attention and sets software projects up for serious long term-maintenance problems. The problem is right now, it\u2019s not easy to know which is true.”<\/p>\n

Biotechnology<\/a><\/p>\n

A Brain-Computer Interface Company Is Getting Into Organ Preservation<\/a>Emily Mullin | Wired ($)<\/p>\n

“The technology is used to preserve organs for transplant and as a life-support measure for patients when the heart and lungs stop working, but it\u2019s clunky and costly. Science wants to make a smaller, more portable system that could provide long-term support.”<\/p>\n

Scientists Built an AI Co-Pilot for Prosthetic Bionic Hands<\/a>Jacek Krywko | Ars Technica<\/p>\n

“The main issue with bionic hands that drives users away from them, George explains, is that they\u2019re difficult to control. ‘Our goal was making such bionic arms more intuitive, so that users could go about their tasks without having to think about it,’ George says. To make this happen, his team came up with an AI bionic hand co-pilot.”<\/p>\n

A Faster-Than-Light Spaceship Would Actually Look a Lot Like Star Trek\u2019s Enterprise<\/a>Jesus Diaz | Fast Company<\/p>\n

“Inside [the USS Enterprise’s twin] nacelles, the show\u2019s creators imagined, lay the secret that made those trips possible: a warp drive that could crease spacetime itself, folding the universe in front of the ship while unfurling it behind, allowing faster-than-light travel not through speed but through geometry. For decades, physicists dismissed it as beautiful nonsense\u2014a prop master\u2019s fever dream. But now the math has caught up to the dream.”<\/p>\n

The Great AI Hype Correction of 2025<\/a>Will Douglas Heaven | MIT Technology Review ($)<\/p>\n

“AI is really good! Look at Nano Banana Pro, the new image generation model from Google DeepMind that can turn a book chapter into an infographic, and much more. It\u2019s just there\u2014for free\u2014on your phone. And yet you can\u2019t help but wonder: When the wow factor is gone, what\u2019s left? How will we view this technology a year or five from now? Will we think it was worth the colossal costs, both financial and environmental?”<\/p>\n

Scientists Thought Saturn\u2019s Moon Titan Hid a Secret Ocean. They Were Wrong<\/a>Ellyn Lapointe | Gizmodo<\/p>\n

“Rather, its 6-mile-thick (10-kilometer-thick) crust of ice gives way to a layer of slush interspersed with pockets and channels of meltwater near the moon\u2019s rocky core. The shocking findings could completely change the way scientists\u00a0search for signs of life inside this icy world.”<\/p>\n

How OpenAI\u2019s Organizational Problems Hurt ChatGPT<\/a>Stephanie Palazzolo, Sri Muppidi, and Amir Efrati | The Information ($)<\/p>\n

“The change in the way ChatGPT users have reacted to new models powering the chatbot shows how the goals of OpenAI\u2019s core AI research division, which develops its technology, don\u2019t always serve the needs of ChatGPT, which drives most of the company\u2019s revenue.”<\/p>\n

CoreWeave\u2019s Staggering Fall From Market Grace Highlights AI Bubble Fears<\/a>Robbie Whelan | The Wall Street Journal ($)<\/p>\n

“CoreWeave, the largest of a new breed of companies driving the artificial-intelligence boom, has watched $33 billion of value vaporize in six weeks. The share-price plunge of 46% comes as investors worry about a possible AI bubble, the fallout from a failed merger, and public criticism from high-profile short seller\u00a0Jim Chanos, known for predicting the collapse of Enron.”<\/p>\n

It’s the Great AGI Rebrand<\/a>Hayden Field | The Verge<\/p>\n

“‘Rizz’ lost its luster when grandparents started asking about its meaning. Teachers who dressed up as ‘6-7’ on Halloween drove a nail into the coffin of Gen Alpha\u2019s rallying cry. And tech CEOs who once trumpeted the quest for ‘artificial general intelligence,’ or AGI, are jumping ship for any other term they can find.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Future What Will Your Life Look Like in 2035?Words by Robert Booth and Dan Milmo.
