New AI generates CRISPR proteins unlike any seen in nature

stp2y0 CommentsNews

Berkeley-based startup Profluent has trained an AI to imagine new, never-before-seen CRISPR proteins — opening the door to gene editors with capabilities beyond what we’ve found in the wild. They’re also making a brand new CRISPR system open source, so any scientist can now start leveraging an AI-designed gene editor to advance their research. The background: In nature, bacteria evolved CRISPR as a defense against viruses, but in the lab, we can program CRISPR systems to make precise edits to any gene, which has proven to be hugely useful in medicine, agriculture, and more.Current CRISPR gene editors can make edits in…

AI can now generate entire songs on demand. What does this mean for music as we know it?

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

In March, we saw the launch of a “ChatGPT for music” called Suno, which uses generative AI to produce realistic songs on demand from short text prompts. A few weeks later, a similar competitor – Udio – arrived on the scene. I’ve been working with various creative computational tools for the past 15 years, both as a researcher and a producer, and the recent pace of change has floored me. As I’ve argued elsewhere, the view that AI systems will never make “real” music like humans do should be understood more as a claim about social context than technical capability.…

GitHub elevates the generative AI coding experience with Copilot Workspace – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPTGitHub elevates the generative AI coding experience with Copilot Workspace, Mike Wheatley, SiliconANGLE

Microsoft Corp.’s GitHub today announced a new generative artificial intelligence-powered development environment called Copilot Workspace, which builds on the capabilities of its original AI-powered coding tool to help reduce the time it takes to get started on new projects. Unveiled in a blog post authored by GitHub Chief Executive Thomas Dohmke, Copilot Workspace is designed to help developers by reducing the time they need to spend reading through an existing codebase to work out how to get started on a new project. They can use natural language to brainstorm ideas, plan, build, test and run their code, and do it…

Computer vision researcher develops privacy software for surveillance videos

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIComputers and Internet; Information Technology; Artificial Intelligence; Software; Computer Science; Communications; Distributed Computing; Computer Modeling

Computer vision can be a valuable tool for anyone tasked with analyzing hours of footage because it can speed up the process of identifying individuals. For example, law enforcement may use it to perform a search for individuals with a simple query, such as "Locate anyone wearing a red scarf over the past 48 hours." With video surveillance becoming more and more ubiquitous, Assistant Professor Yogesh Rawat, a researcher at the UCF Center for Research in Computer Vision (CRCV), is working to address privacy issues with advanced software installed on video cameras. His work is supported by $200,000 in funding…

Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K Max is better as a retro gaming device than a streamer

stp2y0 CommentsNewsCommerce, entertainment, gadget irl, gear, irl, news, streaming, thebuyersguide

Here’s an open secret: Every cheap streaming stick kind of sucks. Yes, it’s great that people can access so many shows and movies with devices that cost less than $50. It’s great that the best of them no longer force you to suffer through constant lag and performance hiccups, too. But over time, the Faustian bargain we make with these things becomes increasingly obvious. We save cash upfront, then we repay our debt through a shoddy user experience.I’ve been thinking about this since buying Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K Max a couple of months ago. It’s a good example of…

Microsoft signs new partnership with AI and data analytics startup

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

WASHINGTON — Microsoft announced Aug. 29 a five-year agreement to provide cloud-computing resources to Synthetaic, a startup that uses artificial intelligence to analyze data from space and air sensors. Wisconsin-based Synthetaic made news earlier this year after it used artificial intelligence and Planet Labs’ satellite imagery archive to independently track the Chinese spy balloon’s path across the United States before it was shot down. Synthetaic’s AI product — the Rapid Automatic Image Categorization (RAIC) tool — was built on Microsoft Azure cloud. Under the new agreement, Microsoft will provide Synthetaic access to nearly 1 million hours of cloud compute resources,…
