Experience a day living like a cyborg

Humans can live in a "half-human half-machine" style thanks to the development and popularity of AI, but still have bizarre experiences from time to time.

AI is present in every aspect of life. To be able to feel the changes that artificial intelligence brings, Thomas Macaulay, writer of The Next Web, spent a year applying AI to everything in his life.

"I imagined a scenario where I would gradually become a cyborg," Macaulay said.

Here is a description of Macaulay's cyborg day:

The first stop on his automation journey was the kitchen. Simply because everyone is hungry. Macaulay decided to cook a three-course meal that was suggested by the "super AI" GPT-3. The appetizer is vegetables drizzled with honey and soy sauce. The steps describe in detail the ingredients needed, excluding vegetables.

"The recipe doesn't have any vegetables or cooking instructions. Each vegetable has a different cooking time so I think it's incomplete. The AI also suggests you store the vegetables for 5 days and the sauce in 3 days. I think the opposite is true," said Ellen Par, chef at Lucky & Joy restaurant in London, after being shown the recipe.

Macaulay could not be satisfied with such a monstrous dish, so he turned to the second dish recommended by GPT-3, tomato sauce pasta. It looks really unsightly, the formula is difficult to follow and feels less secure.

Hoping for a better meal, Macaulay turned to another AI model developed by Monolith AI. This AI provides a pancake recipe with perfect ingredients and instructions. It is possible that this formula was included by the engineers, not by the AI itself. While GPT-3 studied huge amounts of data, Monolith's model learned only 31 American puff pastry recipes. The results show that the AI can make a good chef, as long as it attends a trusted cooking school.

After eating all the pancakes, Macaulay went to Jeremy - the AI trainer on the Kemtai app - to exercise to burn off his energy. After entering parameters about the goal, level and training time, the AI will build a suitable exercise plan for each person.

When practicing in front of the webcam, computer vision will monitor more than 40 points on the body, thereby providing AI Jeremy with data to evaluate and require more discipline. When Macaulay tried to take a break by hiding the webcam, "the coach" and asked him to return to his original position.

Mike Telem, co-founder of Kemtai, said: "While companies often use humans to annotate images and train machine learning algorithms, we can optimize this process using software This has obviously speeded up the training process and improved the quality of the algorithm."

However, Jeremy still has flaws. This AI only gives normal muscle training exercises. To add weightlifting, Macaulay had to use a workout plan recommended by GPT-3. Although 55% of fitness trainers rate this plan as quality, its downside is that it is quite boring and tiring.

After eating and training, Macaulay started working. At this point, GPT-3's AI is the perfect solution. The model can help write articles and help underprivileged children at the same time. He uses Philosopher AI, a question-and-answer bot built on top of GPT-3.

He entered the request: "Write a technology newsletter". A few seconds later, the system returned the result: "You probably still don't realize 'tech news' is just a joke. It's just a way of making you buy more and feel what's happening in your life. The world of technology is really important. But what's important is that this newsletter is not written by a human, but by an algorithm. Algorithms are man-made and by itself tell others what to think. ...".

According to Macaulay, the anti-technologist may think humans are better at writing news than AI, but he disagrees. He believes that when someone successfully develops an AI journalist, reporters like him will have to retire.

At the end of the working day, he went to a chatbot to keep his company. But unlike what Macaulay expected, this chatbot has no "depth" when it comes to life topics. In this respect, he believes that human-to-human conversation will be better with artificial intelligence.

"A year of living with AI made me realize that one day, machines can control every aspect of human life, whether we like the outcome or not. Artificial intelligence is driving what we do. entertainment, where we work, and suggested people to meet," Macaulay concluded. He believes that in the not too distant future, humans can truly live like a cyborg.

Cá trê 'dẫn lối' tới mộ cổ 2.000 tuổi, càng vào bên trong càng bất ngờ

Trong mộ cổ, các nhà khảo cổ tìm thấy nhiều món đồ gốm. (Ảnh: Kknews). Sự việc xảy ra vào năm 2013, trong lúc nạo vét con kênh tại làng Đại Cừ thuộc thị trấn An Định, Bắc Kinh, Trung Quốc, dân làng nơi đây đã gặp tình huống bất ngờ. Mọi chuyện bắt nguồn từ việc kênh của làng bị khô cạn do phù sa chặn. Trưởng làng huy động người dân cùng tới khơi thông. Mọi người còn mang cả máy xúc tới để việc khơi thông nhanh hơn. Đột nhiên, khi đang nạo vét ở giữa kênh, máy xúc bị va phải vật gì đó. Do va đập mạnh, con kênh xuất hiện một chiếc hố lớn có đường kính tới 2m. Nhiều người tò mò ngó xuống xem chỉ thấy vài bức tường bằng gạch bên dưới. Ai đó bỗng hét lớn: “Hình như có thứ gì động đậy bên dưới”. Máy móc liền được cho dừng hoạt động. Hóa ra, bên dưới hố trôi ra chục con cá trê còn sống. Mọi người cảm thấy rất kinh ngạc, không hiểu chúng sống trong mộ cổ bao lâu rồi. Có người tò mò muốn bắt những con cá trê nên trèo xuống xem xét. Nào ngờ, không chỉ bắt được cá, họ còn tìm thấy một vài bức tượ...

Apple's pre-Christmas nightmare

Apple is experiencing the effects of the chip crisis as iPhone production declines, and insufficient supply is on the market. Photo by Hiroko Oshima In early October 2020, when most Chinese were on the Golden Week holiday, equipment factories Apple Increase operating capacity again. This is the stage when most of our partners such as Foxconn Or Pegatron has to work day and night to supply enough iPhones to the market. But this year is different. Workers at the factory iPhone Rest and not overtime. For the first time in more than a decade, iPhone and iPad assembly was halted for several days due to supply chain constraints and restrictions on electricity use in China, sources told Nikkei. "Due to the limited number of components and chips, there is no reason for the factory to give workers overtime on holidays to pay them more," the supply chain director said. "This has never happened before. The golden week in the past has always been the busiest time when units increase...

T. Rowe Price has marked down its stake in Canva by 67.6%

Blackbird, one of Australia's largest venture operations, marked down the value of one of its most prized stakes, in the Sydney-based design platform Canva. Valued at $40 billion by investors in a $200 million round in the fall of 2021, Blackbird adjusted its own valuation of the company 36% to $25.6 billion. Now, T. Rowe Price -- the mutual fund goliath that began investing aggressively into late-stage startups nearly a decade ago, continued to fund them throughout the pandemic, and which led that $40 billion round in 2021 -- has marked down the value of its stake in Canva even more dramatically, adjusting it downward by a whopping 67.6%. (T. Rowe's Blue Chip Growth Fund, which owns several classes of Canva shares but predominantly Series A shares, has to date invested $99.1 million in Canva and states in its most recent prospectus, dated March 31, that it now values those shares on a cost-adjusted basis at $32.1 million.) Asked for comment earlier today, a spokesperson for Ca...

1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442

The Oldsmobile 4-4-2 (also known as the 442) is a muscle car that was produced by Oldsmobile. Introduced in 1964 model year as an option package for US-sold F-85 and Cutlass models, it became a model in its own right from 1968 to 1971, then reverted to an option through the mid-1970s. The name was revived in the 1980s on the rear-wheel drive Cutlass Supreme and early 1990s as an option package for the new front-wheel drive Cutlass Calais. The "4-4-2" name (pronounced "Four-four-two") derives from the original car's four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts. It was originally written "4-4-2" (with badging showing hyphens between the numerals),[1] and remained hyphenated throughout Oldsmobile's use of the designation. Beginning in 1965, the 4-4-2s standard transmission was a 3 speed manual along with optional 2 speed automatic or 4 speed manual, but were still badged as "4-4-2"s. By 1968 badging was shortened...

Coinbase was founded 9 years ago, in 2012, by Brian Armstrong and Fred Ehrsam. The two did not hire staff until a year later. In 2013, after posting a job offer, the two Coinbase founders received a long email from Olaf Carlson-Wee, who graduated from Vassar University in 2012, majoring in sociology. Carlson-Wee has a great belief in cryptocurrencies. His graduate thesis at that time mainly mentioned Bitcoin and the major impact of this virtual currency on the financial sector in the future. "I emailed my resume to Coinbase confidently. I love Bitcoin. I would do any job related to it," Carlson-Wee recalls the moment he emailed, attaching a 90s degree thesis page. Five minutes after the email was sent, Carlson-Wee received a response from Ehrsam. "Let's talk to Skype!", The Coinbase co-founde...

Chevrolet Bel Air 1950s

The Chevrolet Bel Air is a full-size car produced by Chevrolet for the 1950–1975 model years. Initially, only the two-door hardtops in the Chevrolet model range were designated with the Bel Air name from 1950 to 1952. With the 1953 model year, the Bel Air name was changed from a designation for a unique body shape to a premium level of trim applied across a number of body styles. The Bel Air continued with various other trim level designations, and it went from a mid-level trim car to a budget fleet sedan when U.S. production ceased in 1975. Production continued in Canada, for its home market only, through the 1981 model year. From 1950 to 1952, the Bel Air Sport Coupe name was used only for the two-door hardtops in the Chevrolet model range, to distinguish the car from the Styleline and Fleetline models. It is named after the wealthy Bel Air neighborhood on the Westside of Los Angeles. 1950 Chevrolet Bel-Air First-year production reached only 76,662 models built. The car cost $1,741 a...
