Next-gen AI software developer spawns and trains its own AIs

It can autonomously plan and execute thousand-step tasks. It can build and deploy entire software projects all by itself. It can research and fix bugs 7x better than OpenAI’s GPT-4, and it trains and deploys its own custom AIs to solve problems.Continu… Continue reading Next-gen AI software developer spawns and trains its own AIs

Post-labor economics: Will capitalism work when the robots take over?

There are plenty of people who think this whole AI revolution thing isn’t what it’s cracked up to be, that it’s a storm in a teacup and another in a long list of technologies that won’t deliver on the hype. Indeed, there’s one in our team here at New A… Continue reading Post-labor economics: Will capitalism work when the robots take over?

Video: Wave-amplifying generator bounces twice as high as the swells

Sweden’s CorPower has announced “breakthrough” results from Atlantic ocean testing of its full-scale floating generators, which cleverly time their motions to amplify smaller waves while protecting themselves against dangerous storm conditions.Continue… Continue reading Video: Wave-amplifying generator bounces twice as high as the swells

Smarter than GPT-4: Claude 3 AI catches researchers testing it

Working on these next-gen intelligent AIs must be a freaky experience. As Anthropic announces the smartest model ever tested across a range of benchmarks, researchers recall a chilling moment when Claude 3 realized that it was being evaluated.Continue … Continue reading Smarter than GPT-4: Claude 3 AI catches researchers testing it

Doroni announces fan-in-wing, cruise-capable buy ‘n’ fly eVTOL

After making its first manned eVTOL flight last June, Florida’s Doroni Aerospace has announced its next model. The H1X rocks coaxial ducted fans and pusher props, and targets 120 mph (200 km/h) cruise speeds for up to 40 minutes.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Doroni announces fan-in-wing, cruise-capable buy ‘n’ fly eVTOL

Elon Musk: AI will run out of electricity and transformers in 2025

“I’ve never seen any technology advance faster than this.” The chip shortage may be behind us, but AI and EVs are expanding at such a rapacious rate that the world will face supply crunches in electricity and transformers next year, says Elon Musk.Cont… Continue reading Elon Musk: AI will run out of electricity and transformers in 2025

High-speed humanoid feels like a step change in robotics

You’ve seen a ton of videos of humanoid robots – but this one feels different. It’s Sanctuary’s Phoenix bot, with “the world’s best robot hands,” working totally autonomously at near-human speeds – much faster than Tesla’s or Figure’s robots.Continue R… Continue reading High-speed humanoid feels like a step change in robotics

Airfish-8 wing-in-ground effect aircraft slated for service in 2025

Hovering uncannily close to the waves, the Airfish-8 carves its way over water three times quicker than a boat, and 2.3 times more efficiently than an aircraft. Singapore’s ST Engineering has announced its first orders, set to enter service in 2025.Con… Continue reading Airfish-8 wing-in-ground effect aircraft slated for service in 2025
