X owner Elon Musk commented on the dumpster fire that is Google’s Gemini AI Sunday, noting that he has spoken to a senior Google executive who has claimed it is being fixed. Musk chimed in, warned that “Given that the Gemini AI will be at the heart of every Google product and YouTube, this is extremely alarming!” Musk also revealed that a senior Google executive has told him “it would take a few months to fix,” adding “Previously, he thought it would be faster.” A senior exec at Google called and spoke to me for an hour last night. He assured me that they are taking immediate action to fix the racial and gender bias in Gemini. Time will tell. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 23, 2024 “My response to him was that I doubted that Google’s woke bureaucratic blob would *allow* him to fix it,” Musk continued. “Unless those who caused this are exited from Google, nothing will change, except to make the bias less obvious and more pernicious,” the X owner further warned. Given that the Gemini AI will be at the heart of every Google product and YouTube, this is extremely alarming! The senior Google exec called […]

A Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) student has created a device that allows humans to communicate with machines using our minds – and it truly is incredible. Arnav Kapur created a device called AlterEgo, which is a wearable type of headset that allows users to communicate with technology without even speaking a word. The device records signals when the user hears or thinks of a particular word. This information is then sent to machines which use the internet to find the answer. It’s kind of like having Google in your head, which is pretty damn incredible. Without speaking, typing or doing anything at all, the device is able to search the internet for the correct answer before feeding back the information via skull vibrations into the inner ear. Apparently, the answer presents itself in a similar way to a person’s internal voice, but without interfering with their ‘usual auditory perception’. It can search for info, solve maths equations and provide answers to all kinds of different questions. “This enables a human-computer interaction that is subjectively experienced as completely internal to the human user—like speaking to one’s self,” MIT Media Lab explains. ” This enables a user to transmit and receive streams of information to and from a computing […]

Google’s multimodal large language model program allows users to generate AI images using text command prompts, but users began to notice that the program almost completely erased white people from history. Vikings, founding fathers, Popes and people of European descent were all shown as black, or the program refused to produce images of white people entirely. Gemini Experiences Senior Director of Product Management Jack Krawczyk offered up a weak apology, but the controversy isn’t going anywhere. “I’m glad that Google overplayed their hand with their AI image generation, as it made their insane racist, anti-civilizational programming clear to all,” Musk posted on X.

A spacecraft built and flown by Texas-based company Intuitive Machines landed near the south pole of the moon on Thursday, the first US touchdown on the lunar surface in more than half a century and the first ever achieved entirely by the private sector. The six-legged robot lander, dubbed Odysseus, touched down at about 6:23 PM EST (2323 GMT), the company and NASA commentators said in a joint webcast of the landing from Intuitive Machines’ mission operations center in Houston. As planned, the spacecraft was believed to have come to rest at a crater named Malapert A near the moon’s south pole, according to the webcast. The landing, one day after the spacecraft reached lunar orbit and a week after its launch from Florida, was confirmed by signals beamed back some 239,000 miles (384,000 km) to mission control. Touchdown came after an 11th-hour glitch with the spacecraft’s autonomous navigation system that required engineers on the ground to employ a work-around solution. The vehicle is carrying a suite of scientific instruments and technology demonstrations for NASA and several commercial customers designed to operate for seven days on solar energy before the sun sets over the polar landing site. The NASA payload will focus on […]

Google will pause the image generation feature of its artificial intelligence (AI) tool, Gemini, after the model refused to create images of White people. The Alphabet-owned company apologized Wednesday after users on social media flagged that Gemini’s image generator was creating inaccurate historical images that sometimes replaced White people with images of Black, Native American and Asian people. “We’re aware that Gemini is offering inaccuracies in some historical image generation depictions,” Google had said on Wednesday. Ticker Security Last Change Change % GOOG ALPHABET INC. 145.32 +1.48 +1.03% MSFT MICROSOFT CORP. 411.65 +9.47 +2.35% Gemini, formerly known as Google Bard, is one of many multimodal large language models (LLMs) currently available to the public. As is the case with all LLMs, the human-like responses offered by these AIs can change from user to user. Based on contextual information, the language and tone of the prompter, and training data used to create the AI responses, each answer can be different even if the question is the same. Fox News Digital tested Gemini multiple times this week after social media users complained that the model would not show images of White people when prompted. Each time, it provided similar answers.

Lee opined that Bitcoin (BTC) could triple its current market price this year. BTC exchanged hands around $51,000 on Feb. 21 per CoinMarketCap. Bitcoin might also double in price from its all-time high of $69,000 if Lee’s assertion is proven true. Lee is a financial veteran with prior top-ranking roles at America’s largest bank, JPMorgan Chase, and investment banking behemoth Salomon Smith Barney. He has ranked among the top annual institutional investors since 1998 and boasts 25 years of equity research expertise. Bitcoin halving, spot ETF demand to drive price According to the Fundstrat founding member, Bitcoin is “sound money”, serves as a store of value, and has arguably one of the best anti-fraud technological frameworks on the planet. Lee pointed out that there has not been a single fraudulent entry on BTC’s blockchain since its January 2009 inception. BTC is also subject to increasing demand following the arrival of spot Bitcoin ETFs. This asset class has amassed nearly $15 billion in AUM and $5 billion in cumulative net inflows in less than two months of trading. Lee said the BTC halving is another catalyst for price growth. The halving event reduces Bitcoin mining rewards by 50% every four years, maintaining scarcity and […]

Google went into damage-control mode this week after its new artificial intelligence model, Gemini, was caught engaging in historical revisionism which, until now, has been confined to the realm of entertainment and impressionable children whose parents are demonized for speaking out against it. 17th century was wild pic.twitter.com/r5Jl0UZyTn — Joscha Bach (@Plinz) February 20, 2024 Gemini has no problems generating pictures of ‘strong black men,’ but strong white men ‘could potentially reinforce harmful stereotypes about race and body image.’ Gemini strong black man images vs strong white man images pic.twitter.com/cDXBvXQnd9 — Wall Street Silver (@WallStreetSilv) February 22, 2024 And of course, Gemini is not really interested in ‘following the science,’ as it were. Google Gemini is all-in on trans ideology, insisting that “trans women” are women and providing a pronoun guide for the uninitiated. pic.twitter.com/GOiJ4ZIwhO — Christopher F.

In an X Spaces event, Elon Musk revealed the first human patient implanted with a brain chip from Neuralink has made a “full recovery” and “can control the mouse around the screen just by thinking.” “Progress is good, and the patient seems to have made a full recovery, with no ill effects that we are aware of. The patient is able to move a mouse around the screen by just thinking,” Musk told X users in Spaces on Monday night. I asked Elon Musk about the progress of Neuralink's first human patient and the answer was pretty incredible. Listen here: pic.twitter.com/uPHNyOn0rk — ⭕ Brock Pierson (@brockpierson) February 20, 2024 Musk said Neuralink is currently focusing on maximising the number of mouse clicks by the patient. Neuralink implanted the first brain chip into a human in January, following approval for human trials in September. The potentially life-transforming technology could help patients with quadriplegia caused by a cervical spinal cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Neuralink has called the trial its “PRIME Study,” short for “Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface,” which aims to study the safety of its chip and surgical robot and test the device’s functionality. The brain chip “grants people […]
