In 2022, Elon Musk’s Neuralink tried – and failed – to secure permission from the FDA to run a human trial of its implantable brain-computer interface (BCI), according to a Reuters report published Thursday.

Citing seven current and former employees, speaking on the condition of anonymity, Reuters reported that the regulatory agency found “dozens of issues” with Neuralink’s application that the company must resolve before it can begin studying its tech in humans.

Tesla’s investor day showed it is ‘one generation ahead’ of rival automakers in EV race, former Ford CEO says

The company also showcased other executives, which could alleviate concern that Musk has been too distracted by his other business ventures. They also talked about “meat and potato” topics like cutting costs, improving margins, and EV-charging infrastructure.

The keys to winning the EV race will come down to product appeal, software or user interface, controlling cost, and consistent execution, he said.

“And Tesla right now is one generation ahead of the other automakers,” Fields said, though rivals like Ford and Hyundai are making a lot of progress. “Tesla still has the leg-up on the competition, and I think they demonstrated that yesterday.”

“We are the future” — automatic content creation experiment

Posted by in categories: media & arts, robotics/AI

This video was creating using multiple AI tools. Script was generated using ChatGPT, the noration voice was generated with Elevenlabs.io, background audio was generated with AudioLDM model and finally images were created with Stable Diffusion using Illuminati Diffusion v1.1 model. The script itself was a source for prompts at image generation stage.

There were still some human input. Particularly I generated several images for each part of the script and choose the most appealing ones. I did also manually combine noration with background music. But mostly it was done in a way that each part of the process might be completely automated.

Galea is an award-winning platform that merges next-generation biometrics with mixed reality. It is the first device to integrate a wide range of physiological signals, including EEG, EMG, EDA, PPG, and eye-tracking, into a single headset. In this session, Conor and Eva will provide a live demonstration of the device and its capabilities, showcasing its potential for a variety of applications, from gaming to training and rehabilitation. They will give an overview of the different hardware and software components of the system, highlighting how it can be used to analyze user experiences in real time. Attendees will get an opportunity to ask questions at the end.

I’m speechless

Posted by in category: futurism

Not peer-reviewed yet but a submitted paper.

The ‘presented images’ were shown to a group of humans. The ‘reconstructed images’ were the result of an fMRI output to Stable Diffusion.

In other words, #stablediffusion literally read people’s minds.
