"Will copyright law allow robots to learn?"

"Big Tech companies, in all sorts of ways, are seeking to force upon us their preferred conclusions about the applications of artificial intelligence – regardless of what the law says or what values the community of users, consumers, and developers holds. "

"During the observational fear experiment, a “demonstrator” mouse is given an electric shock, while an “observer” mouse watches from behind a transparent screen. When witnessing another animal receiving a shock, the observer mouse displays an immediate fear response, as demonstrated by its freezing behavior. The observer mouse is also known to be able to recall the experience at a later time."

Now the question is what to AI/robots watch for entertainment?

"Founded in 2015, DoNotPay is an AI solution that is aimed at helping individuals fight against large organizations for acts such as applying wrong fees, persistent robocalling, or even fighting parking tickets. According to the company, most of these cases are winnable for individuals but appeals fall by the wayside since defendants cannot afford high legal fees or do not have the time and resources to fight bureaucracy.

DoNotPay wants to offer its AI-trained program as the means to fight these situations while also saving you time from lengthy conversations with customer care when you wish to cancel a subscription. If the organization can ask you to jump the hoops through the Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) when you call, DoNotPay can provide you with the ideal solution with an intelligent responder."

This is what happens when engineers do marketing and branding - fail!

(Boston Dynamics dog robots try cute)



Ghost Robotics is another robot company in the military space, who is being sued by Boston Dynamics over patents

Most of Ghost Robotics ads are appropriate for the military kill customers,



but they get a little weird too in the same fail way

"Equipped with pressure sensors and actuators, the device is said to be able to mimic a real kiss by replicating the pressure, movement and temperature of a user’s lips.

Along with the kissing motion, it can also transmit the sound the user makes."

"While GPT-4 has clear potential to help people, it’s also inherently flawed. Like previous versions of generative AI models, GPT-4 can relay misinformation or be misused to share controversial content, like instructions on how to cause physical harm or content to promote political activism."

"The cellphone is going to become a part of you. Parts of the cellphone will be embedded under your skin. You won't have to charge a cellphone, because your body is a perfect charger. You ingest food, and you turn it into energy. So there are so many improvements yet to be made in a cellphone. And I really do believe that we are just at the beginning of the cellphone revolution."

In a video shared by EPFL, the scientists reveal how a mouse was shown a 1960s black-and-white film clip of a man running to a car who opens the trunk.

A separate screen shows what CEBRA thinks the mouse is looking at and the AI’s reconstructed footage is almost identical — although the video does glitch intermittently.

The latest research combines the spinal implant with new technology called a brain-computer interface, which is implanted above the part of the brain that controls leg movement.

The interface uses algorithms based on artificial intelligence methods to decode brain recordings in real time, the researchers said.

This allows the interface, which was designed by researchers at France's Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), to work out how the patient wants to move their legs at any moment.

The data is transmitted to the spinal cord implant via a portable device that fits in a walker or small backpack, allowing patients to get around without help from others.

The two implants build what the researchers call a "digital bridge" to cross the disconnect between the spinal cord and brain that was created during Gert-Jan's accident.

"Now I can just do what I want -- when I decide to make a step the stimulation will kick in as soon as I think about it," Gert-Jan said.
