Chat gpt 4 is wonderful but one thing it is lacking is sentience which could do all work for millions of years so essentially we would not need find all discoveries and all things by ourselves.

Richards said he originally wanted an AI agent to automatically email him daily AI news. But, as Motherboard, he realized in the process that existing LLMs struggle with “tasks that require long-term planning,” or are “unable to autonomously refine their approaches based on real-time feedback.” That understanding inspired him to create Auto-GPT, which, he said, “can apply GPT4’s reasoning to broader, more complex problems that require long-term planning and multiple steps.” (Richards didn’t respond for a request for an interview with Fast Company.)

DJI has just unveiled its most advanced camera drone to date, but its hefty $16,500 price tag suggests it’s not for the everyday user.

Indeed, the new Inspire 3 is designed for professional moviemakers who want a powerful machine capable of nailing the best shots.

An update of the Inspire 2 that launched in 2016, the Inspire 3 sports a new streamlined design that offers improved mobility for complex maneuvers.

NAIROBI, April 14 (Reuters) — Kenya launched its first operational earth observation satellite on Saturday onboard a SpaceX rocket from the United States, a live feed from Elon Musk’s rocket company showed.

The satellite, developed by nine Kenyan engineers, will collect agricultural and environmental data, including on floods, drought and wildfires, that authorities plan to use for disaster management and to combat food insecurity.

The Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Taifa-1 satellite, took off at about 648 GMT without incident from Vandenberg Base in California, after three postponements due to bad weather.

Chinese President Xi Jinping called for an increase in combat training while visiting military forces, following China’s third day of drills in a show of force around Taiwan’s coast.

Proteins are involved in every biological process, and use the energy in the body to alter their structure via mechanical movements. They are considered biological ‘nanomachines’ because the smallest structural change in a protein has a significant effect on biological processes. The development of nanomachines that mimic proteins has received much attention to implement movement in the cellular environment. However, there are various mechanisms by which cells attempt to protect themselves from the action of these nanomachines. This limits the realization of any relevant mechanical movement of nanomachines that could be applied for medical purposes.

The research team led by Dr. Youngdo Jeong from the Center for Advanced Biomolecular Recognition at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST, President Seok-Jin Yoon) has reported the development of a novel biochemical nanomachine that penetrates the cell membrane and kills the cell via the molecular movements of folding and unfolding in specific cellular environments, such as cancer cells, as a result of a collaboration with the teams of Prof. Sang Kyu Kwak from the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering and Prof. Ja-Hyoung Ryu from the Department of Chemistry at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST, President Yong Hoon Lee), and Dr. Chaekyu Kim of Fusion Biotechnology, Inc.

The joint research team focused on the hierarchical structure of proteins, in which the axis of the large structure and the mobile units are hierarchically separated. Therefore, only specific parts can move around the axis. Most existing nanomachines have been designed so that the mobile components and axis of the large structure are present on the same layer. Thus, these components undergo simultaneous movement, which complicates the desired control of a specific part.

This work rests on our non-viral tissue nanotransfection (TNT) platform to deliver MyoD (TNTMyoD) to injured tissue in vivo. TNTMyoD was performed on skin and successfully induced expression of myogenic factors. TNTMyoD was then used as a therapy 7 days following volumetric muscle loss (VML) of rat tibialis anterior and rescued muscle function. TNTMyoD is promising as VML intervention.

SpaceX crews worked to configure Ship 24 and Booster 7’s flight termination systems for launch, hardware labeled “flame diverter” was spotted at the shipping and receiving area, and foundation work at the production site continued.

Banks can attach SWIFT Codes and bank accounts to a UMU digital currency wallet and transaction SWIFT-like cross-border payments over digital currency rails completely bypassing the correspondent banking system at best-priced wholesale FX rates and with instantaneous real-time settlement.

In an IMF interview with Tobias Adrian, Financial Counsellor at the International Monetary Fund, he states “Cross-border payments can be slow, expensive, and risky. In today’s world of payments, counterparties in different jurisdictions rely on costly trusted relationships to offset the lack of a common settlement asset together with common rules and governance. But imagine if a multilateral platform existed that could improve cross-border payments—at the same time transforming foreign exchange transactions, risk sharing, and more generally, financial contracting.”

According to Darrell Hubbard, the Executive Director of the DCMA, and the chief architect of UMU, “This vision expressed by the IMF is the exact solution the DCMA is delivering to central banks worldwide.”
