I tested the weird, tiny, low-cost electric car soon coming to the US Electric vehicles are everywhere these days, but few are as intriguing – or as polarizing – as the tiny urban EV soon headed to American roads. Fiat recently announced plans to bring its diminutive new model, the Topolino, to the US this year. At roughly the size of a golf cart and priced far below most traditional EVs, it is technically more of a quadricycle than a true ‘car’ and offers a radically different vision of personal mobility: ultra-compact, affordable, and perfectly tailored to short city commutes. more…

AI Takes Particle Physics Beyond Human Imagination Could AI be the key to finding the missing pieces in the Standard Model of physics?

Physicists aren't asking AI to look for data that supports their theories. They're asking AI to spot anomalies that could lead to theories no one has imagined yet.

Hmmm. 🤔. bsky.app/profile/allc...

Researchers in the Prakash lab have developed a robotic device, called Octopi, that automatically diagnoses malaria in blood smears. The researchers believe it could save countless lives through earlier and more accurate diagnosis. Read more here: t.co/TQqOL0ARDw

What Developers Know About the Dangers of Unbounded AI Large language models are too powerful and too new to be set free from human oversight.

Anthropic’s clash with the Pentagon isn't about pacifism versus militarism—it's a fundamental dispute over how to manage the risks of the most transformative technology since the splitting of the atom, Thomas Wright argues:

Will AI accelerate or undermine the way humans have always innovated? An anthropologist’s new book lays out the formula for human innovation, from stone tools to supercomputers. Depending on developments in the next few years, AI could hit the gas or the brakes.

Will AI accelerate or undermine human innovation?

An anthropologist who studies how people actually invent things say the answer depends on whether we use AI as a tool to enhance our creativity or as a replacement for the unpredictable human thinking that has driven breakthroughs

Ultra-sensitive CAR T cells eliminate hard-to-treat tumours in mice A proof-of-concept study opens up an avenue for treating solid tumours that express low levels of a target antigen.
