Neuralink is Elon Musk's answer to the threat he believes artificial intelligence poses to the human race. In many ways, we're like cyborgs anyway because our smartphone is like an extension of us, like a limb. The problem is the communication bandwidth to the phone is too slow. It's a speed issue.  We're getting the information to our brains too slowly and not sending it out fast enough. You need something artificial in your brain to help with this process. Neuralink connects human brains to computers through a chip smaller than a ...

And that Amazon knows exactly what I need. It’s great that I don thave to hail a cab or go to the grocery store. Actually, I hope I never have to drive again or navigate or use cash or clean or cook or work or learn. But what if all this technology was trying to kill me? The same technology that is making your life easier is being weaponized. That feature that unlocks your phone with your face, here it is attached to an aself-learning machine gun. Its manufacturer, Kalashnikov, made this video to show the gun using object-recognition software to identify targets. They say it gets more accurate the more you use it. That drone advertised to get awesome...

Especially the problem of staying alive, which involves finding food and shelter, fighting sexual competitors, or fleeing from predators. Intelligence is not a single thing; it includes the ability to gather knowledge, to learn, be creative, form strategies, or engage in critical thinking.

China is trying to lead the world in tech. And apparently, that includes building robot wives. This report from Chinese media Sohu is called “a robot wife has been created, so you don’t need to marry a real wife in the future.” It says Chinese scientists have created realistic-looking female robots that can even do chores. Of course, like some reports about breakthroughs in Chinese technology, this might be a little premature. Those robo...
