Musk’s ‘Spooky’ Humanoid Robot That ‘Will Be Able To Do Everything Better Than Us’

The Book of Why: Exploring the missing piece of artificial intelligence

“In a past message on X, Elon Musk said Tesla Inc.’s humanoid robot called Optimus could “eliminate dangerous, repetitive, boring tasks.” He suggests a future where robots integrate into daily lives, helping people with both mundane chores like doing the dishes to working in hazardous conditions. In a Jan. 15, 2023, message on X, Musk showed an enhanced Optimus robot neatly folding a shirt after taking it out of a small basket.”

Yamaha Motoroid Concept Is A Semi-Autonomous Bike That’ll Take You For A Ride

“For starters, the slim bike is entirely electric, with hub motor in the rear wheel (not in the body), juiced by a lithium-ion battery pack. The impressive part, however, stems from its Artificial Intelligence system, which can recognize the rider and his (or her) commands, rise up from its kick-stand, wheel over to the rider, and take him for a ride.”

2024: The Year Quantum Moves Past Its Hype?

“Viewers of the popular 60 Minutes television magazine may have been surprised to see a feature in December on the state of quantum computing, typically an unapproachable, wonky topic for mainstream audiences. But, given the hype and ensuing adoption level with all things AI, perhaps this is a sign that an even more sophisticated — and potentially life-changing — technology will have its moment next. “

What’s a Time Crystal? And How Do Google Researchers Use Quantum Computers to Make Them?

“First conceived of a decade or so ago, a time crystal is a new kind of matter that bears an uncanny resemblance to a perpetual motion machine. Its parts can theoretically move in a repeating cycle without consuming energy for eternity, like a watch that runs forever without any batteries.”

How Can AI, LLMs & Quantum Science Empower Each Other?

“I thus wondered what the present and future implications of LLMs in quantum science and technologies were for academics, researchers, industry professionals and even policy makers. Despite all their well-documented flaws, these tools are bound to grow and create significant positive disruptions for all these roles.”
