WRTV “We know that our national security challenges of the future are going to be in high tech, so this is a great opportunity for kids to learn how they can contribute to their country while also getting exposure to some of these really exciting technologies,” said Andrew Kosak, deputy director of the…
Elon Musk’s X has implemented default settings of user posts and interactions on social media platforms to help train its AI chatbot, Grok. “Your Grok posts, interactions, inputs, and results will be used for training and fine-tuning,” the setup statement reads. However, the scheme comes with an option for users to opt out of the process. The default setting is to automatically capture content for Grok, but “all X users can control whether their public posts can be used to train Grok, our AI search assistant,” the company said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday. “The setting…
Switzerland is spearheading a groundbreaking effort to mandate an open source approach for all government software. This move toward transparency is expected to improve efficiency, spur innovation, and serve as a model for other countries to follow. Transparent technology means more informed public decisions and potentially less spending on proprietary software. The initiative aims to stimulate competition and produce better products and services. Traditionally, governments have built their systems around proprietary software. Switzerland’s move to open source software will leverage the collective intelligence and creativity of the global tech community. This can lead to innovation, improved operational efficiencies, and cost…

Many of the talks yesterday were peppered with acronyms befitting a gathering of high-minded panelists: YC, FTC, AI, LLM, etc. But it’s fair to say that a thread running through the conversations was an open source AI advocacy.This was a clear shift away from the app-obsessed 2010s (or, for Linux fans, a regression), when developers were happy to containerize their tech and hand it over to larger platforms for distribution.The event also came just two days after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg declared that “open source AI is the way forward” and released Llama 3.1, the latest version of Meta’s proprietary…

Move like an antWe know that insects aren’t particularly smart by human standards, but despite their limitations, they are capable of incredible feats of organization and direction, making them a source of inspiration for researchers working on microrobots and lightweight drones that grapple with similar constraints.For example, the desert ant Cataglyphis can forage long distances and then walk straight back to its nest – up to 1 km away.The low payload and available power preclude solutions used in heavier autonomous systems such as self-driving cars. For example, LIDAR (“laser radar”) is great for creating 3D maps of the environment, but…
