Artificial Remnants 2.1 (2020) This project is part of an ongoing exploration of artificial life using deep learning to generate insects, as well as their names and anatomical descriptions. This gives us a way to engage with the rich diversity of the natural world in a virtual, digital space. This project is a collaboration with artist Sofia Crespo. www.artificialremnants.com Source link

CFPB staff and leaders clash about whether they’re allowed to work

Leadership and staff at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) are clashing in court over whether the Trump administration is seeking to wind down the agency and if it has allowed workers to continue their legally required duties. Now, a key agency executive is expected to testify in a hearing next week, after a judge expressed concerns the agency would be shut down before she had a chance to weigh in. The CFPB has been targeted by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), with Elon Musk posting “RIP” to the agency in early February, and a lawsuit filed by the

The Download: Woolly mice, and data centers in space

They’re small, fluffy and kind of cute, but these mice represent a milestone in de-extinction efforts, according to their creators. The animals have undergone a series of genetic tweaks that give them woolly mammoth-like features—and their creation may bring scientists a step closer to resurrecting the ancient, giant animals that roamed the tundra thousands of years ago. Scientists at Colossal have been working to “de-extinct” the woolly mammoth, since the company was launched four years ago.  Now, her team has shown that they can create healthy animals that look the way the team wants them to look—and pave the way

AI Detection Is Too Unreliable for Our Classrooms

Ever since students discovered generative AI tools like ChatGPT, educators have been on high alert. Fearing a surge in AI-assisted cheating, many schools turned to AI detection software as a supposed shield of academic integrity. Programs such as Turnitin’s AI-writing detector, GPTZero, and Copyleaks promise to sniff out text written by AI by analyzing patterns and word choices (Teaching @ JHU). These tools typically scan an essay and spit out a score or percentage indicating how “human” or “AI-like” the writing is. On the surface, it sounds like the perfect high-tech solution to an AI cheating epidemic. But here’s the

ComfyUI Notebook for RunPod | Weird Wonderful AI Art

This post is related to the ComfyUI Notebook that I have created for RunPod and is available for purchase on our Shop for a small fee. This fee helps support the blog and channel to keep creating the wonderful content for you. The notebook is made by us to get to started with using ComfyUI in under 5 mins on RunPod. This idea came to me when I got tired of many ComfyUI images built by the community taking too long to start up (some take up to 30mins) which wastes the GPU time which you are paying for on

The Morning After: At MWC 2025, Lenovo is experimenting with its screens, a lot

Lenovo hasn’t even released its futuristic laptop with a rollable screen, but it’s rejigged all those parts into a whole new thing for MWC in Barcelona. Officially called the (no typos), the laptop uses the same flexible OLED in its rollable, However, instead of disappearing inside its chassis, the display folds outwards. This allows what is normally a 13-inch panel to double to 18.1 inches. Notably, because the Flip’s screen bends instead of sliding in and out of the bottom half of the system, Lenovo can use the panel’s full area. And, just to drill home that it’s a concept,

MIPS launches Atlas chip designs for industrial robots and autonomous cars

MIPS is launching its Atlas chip designs for physical AI platforms such as industrial robots and autonomous cars. The aim is to drive real-time intelligence into physical AI, said Sameer Wasson, CEO of MIPS, in an interview with GamesBeat. The new MIPS Atlas product suite delivers compute subsystems that empower autonomous edge solutions to sense, think and act with precision, driving innovation across the growing physical AI opportunity in industrial robotics and autonomous platform markets. San Jose, California-based MIPS is targeting its MIPS Atlas portfolio at automotive, industrial and embedded technology companies so they can deploy safe, secure and efficient
