They generated 70,000 clips to be able to cobble together 52 of them. They need basically the entirety of humanity's creative output to essentially sling slop at the wall and see what you're willing to choke down. Creatively bereft, legally dangerous, and morally bankrupt.
The Coca-Cola Christmas ad, made with AI, used at least eight AI models known to be trained on copyrighted work without permission. This is a huge middle finger to the artists whose work these models exploit, at scale, for huge commercial gain. cc @CocaCola
Stuttgart’s palm-sized laser reaches 80% efficiency, smashing old limits and reshaping ultrafast optics. bit.ly/43eXPiD
This week, we announced that D-Wave's Advantage2™️ quantum computer at Davidson Technologies is now operational to address government computational problems that may be beyond the reach of classical computers. D-Wave and Davidson are already exploring quantum use cases in…
Want to see robots plan and adapt routes in real time? 🤖 Join our Robotics Office Hours on Wednesday at 11 AM PT to explore NVIDIA cuOpt, the GPU-accelerated solver for real-time logistics and routing optimization in simulation with our experts. 📆 Add to calendar:…
A new open-weight Kimi K2 Thinking claims to be comparable to GPT-5 and Sonnet 4.5. It's a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with a total of 1T parameters and 32B activated parameters for token generation. The context length is 256K, which makes it competitive for coding. Weights…
Good point, though could be considered a bit more holistically. With quantum, AI, thermo, neuromorphic, etc. all coming online in a big way in the coming years, there's a need to grapple with questions around how compute -- and access thereto -- is a vital asset for economic…
If the US wants to win the AI race it should fund thermodynamic ML R&D. Pumping the pure GPU-based paradigm to the moon will end badly.
AI boosters say the anger at AI’s exploitation is temporary; is just like previous technology; will fade soon. But the reaction to this year’s AI Coca-Cola ad is stronger than last year’s. Anger is increasing, not decreasing.

Most AI generative software usage is for grifting and abuse. The bulk is "I made this" fakery. But lets not overlook: Sexual material based on real people Fake receipts for tax fraud and reimbursement fraud Fake traffic jams for excuses Fake product to "sell" Abusive "your…
In Nairobi, materials engineer Nzambi Matee founded Gjenge Makers, a startup that recycles discarded plastic into durable paving bricks. By melting and molding waste polymers like polyethylene and polypropylene, her team creates blocks that are up to five times stronger than…
Google’s Project Suncatcher aims to scale AI in space with solar-powered satellites and on-orbit TPU clusters. bit.ly/4hGYbo1
ML based facial recognition is not reliable in the wild; like many “AI” tools sold to law enforcement, it is thinly-veiled pseudoscience and will harm people by lending law enforcement both a felt sense of epistemic authority and legal impunity. techpolicy.press/ices-reckless-…
The massive ITER project and future fusion plants require automated maintenance. Find out more: bit.ly/47HFD2o
Current quantum processors have deep physical limitations, mostly related to noise. New research shows that the possibility of noisy quantum computers outdoing classical computers may be restricted to a Goldilocks zone between too few and too many qubits. go.aps.org/4hEpjnI
At Keio University, researchers transplanted induced pluripotent stem cells into patients with severe spinal-cord injuries in a world-first clinical trial. The treatment, designed to repair nerve connections, helped two participants regain partial motor function, including one…
China's new floating rain power generator could help turn lakes and reservoirs into clean energy farms.
Rice startup Actile turns soft robotics research into clothing that can talk through touch, redefining wearable communication. bit.ly/43PvaRi
React Native is definitely the tool of choice for most startups and scaleups (save for a very small number of ones that care very much about e.g. performance, and don't mind spending 2-3x as much on their mobile app as RN would cost) x.com/rauchg/status/…
After building the @v0 mobile app in React Native & Expo we’re never looking back. Look out for the incoming eng blog post by @FernandoTheRojo
We cannot ignore the reality staring us in the face as an industry in Hollywood. A.I. generated video content is here. And it is not going away. Creators must understand how to utilize this new tool and combine it with traditional methods of storytelling. The power of…
This is an AI-generated film. It is better than 99% of the short films I've ever seen. (It is better than 99.999% of AI generated films I've seen.) Every AI tool in it was (masterfully) used by creator Simon Meyer. But before we scream about robots destroying art let's…
This market is a soap bubble and we all know it. Claims of the capacity to obviate or automate human labor are absurd. We know this. But that won’t stop them from disrupting labor markets and, with them, human lives. pluralistic.net/2025/09/27/eco…
