The Art of AI: How NigmaBot.ai’s Image Generator is Empowering Artists

AI Bot Art AI bot art refers to the creation of artwork using artificial intelligence algorithms and machine learning models. These AI systems can generate, modify, and enhance artistic creations, often producing results that mimic or innovate beyond traditional human creativity. Here’s an overview of AI bot art, including its applications, technologies, and examples: Applications of AI Bot Art 1. Generative Art: Creation: AI can create entirely new pieces of art from scratch using algorithms that learn from existing artworks. Style Transfer: AI models can apply the style of one artwork to another image, blending different artistic styles. 2. Enhancement…

Generative agents and artificial societies

Generative agents and artificial societies

The metaverse hype coincided with the web3 craze of 2020-2022. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and augmented/virtual-reality (AR/VR) gained traction then. Both projected visions of a digital life deeply interweaved with our physical reality. The crypto community latched on to NFTs while Meta doubled down on its Reality Labs division. The top NFT project Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) created an active community of NFT owners who have access to an exclusive chatroom, a virtual bathroom, and a shared sense of superiority over pleebs. Next-gen Oculus headsets become more usable with hardware upgrades and an increasing library of games and activities to…

Plant sensors could act as an early warning system for farmers

Plant sensors could act as an early warning system for farmers

Using a pair of sensors made from carbon nanotubes, researchers from MIT and the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) have discovered signals that reveal when plans are experiencing stresses such as heat, light, or attack from insects or bacteria.The sensors detect two signaling molecules that plants use to coordinate their response to stress: hydrogen peroxide and salicylic acid (a molecule similar to aspirin). The researchers found that plants produce these molecules at different timepoints for each type of stress, creating distinctive patterns that could serve as an early warning system.Farmers could use these sensors to monitor potential threats…

What We’ve Learned From A Year of Building with LLMs

What We’ve Learned From A Year of Building with LLMs

Recently, a couple friends and I threw around the idea of writing about our experience with LLMs and AI Engineering (image below). One thing led to another and that’s how this three-part series came about. Here, we share our hard-won lessons, and advice to make it easier. This is also cross-posted on O’Reilly. We hope you’ll find it useful! Behind the scenes of how this write-up started It’s an exciting time to build with large language models (LLMs). Over the past year, LLMs have become “good enough” for real-world applications. The pace of improvements in LLMs, coupled with a parade…

OpenAI’s board allegedly learned about ChatGPT launch on Twitter

Helen Toner, one of OpenAI’s former board members who was responsible for firing CEO Sam Altman last year, revealed that the company’s board didn’t know about the launch of ChatGPT until it was released in November 2022. “[The] board was not informed in advance of that,” Toner said on Tuesday on a podcast called The Ted AI Show. “We learned about ChatGPT on Twitter.”Toner’s comments came just two days after criticized the way OpenAI was governed in an Economist piece published on Sunday that she co-wrote with Tasha McCauley, another former OpenAI board member. This is the first time that…

Creating ticking tables with pure Python functions | Deephaven

Creating ticking tables with pure Python functions | Deephaven

Creating and manipulating ticking tables is the bread and butter of the Deephaven experience. The wide array of table operations offered by the Python API enables real-time data manipulation and analysis at scale. So, it needs to be really easy to create a Deephaven table, and we need to be able to create one from many different kinds of data sources. With the introduction of function-generated tables, this has never been simpler.Function-generated tables allow you to write arbitrary Python functions for retrieving and cleaning data and use the results to populate a ticking table. The function is then re-evaluated at…

We Deserve Better: GNSS for the 21st Century  – EE Times

//php echo do_shortcode('[responsivevoice_button voice="US English Male" buttontext="Listen to Post"]') ?> Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology is essential for modern society, as it plays a vital role in the global economy, critical industries, and emergency response services.   However, this technology that is in everything from smartphones, to cars, to airplanes, and more was first invented more than 50 years ago and is easily susceptible to jamming and interference – making this 20th-century technology obsolete in the 21st century.  While this might sound trivial, unreliable GNSS is a much bigger issue than the map in your smartphone being off by a…
