Some interesting examples of where ChatGPT breaks down and how Wolfram|Alpha can be used to supplement and improve ChatGPT answers. Also highlights some of the pros/cons of human-like vs computational thinking.

On Dec. 5, 2022, a team at LLNL's @lasers_llnl conducted the first controlled fusion experiment in history to achieve fusion ignition. Also known as scientific energy breakeven, the experiment produced more energy from fusion than the laser energy used to drive it.

Still blows my mind there’s zero mainstream coverage of the only thing everyone in tech is talking about

It’s like we just split the atom and everyone is talking about football

Bloody-belly comb jellies are ctenophores, not true jellies. Like other comb jellies, they navigate through the water by beating their shimmering, hair-like cilia.

You can see these dazzling deep-sea denizens up close and personal @MontereyAq’s newest exhibition! #IntoTheDeep⁠

Yet another mind-blowing result is from OpenAI's DALL·E 2, which can generate art based on natural language input. Will be interesting to see the implications of this CLIP-based approach to image generation.

We have witnessed fascinating results from AI researchers over the years and the last few months have been a reminder that the research output shows no signs of slowing down. One example: NeRF research by Waymo: https://t.co/HNZXwKxcNZ

It's inspiring that a 13-year-old was able to use an open source e-nose design to detect pneumonia. Artificial noses continue to hold so much potential in a range of application areas including agriculture, medicine, and defense. https://t.co/bhOkvSoGvS

Very cool to read about this collaboration between DeepMind and the Swiss Plasma Center at EPFL. Here's to hoping that AI and deep learning will be a powerful tool in fusion research. A link to the Open Access paper in Nature --> https://t.co/EMb02zFp7m

With a backdrop of a pandemic and possible large-scale conflicts on the horizon, it's heartening to see continued progress on technologies that could advance humanity. It's great to hear about recent fusion breakthroughs in both private and public sectors. https://t.co/qoXObneXqr

Very cool. Time to bust out some old family photos and give this a try…

At the intersection of AI, computer science, and biology we find xenobots. Will be interesting to see where this goes...

[Bloomberg @business]

Xenobots — living robots created using artificial intelligence and cells from frogs — may soon revolutionize everything from how we fight pollution to organ transplants

In a collaboration between MIT and RISD, researchers have created digital fiber. These fibers allow clothing to have memory, sensors, and even their own neural net.

The test flight didn’t come close to the edge of space, but the prototype was a big step toward the rocket’s first orbital mission. https://t.co/S2obXgTJpS

Sad to see the collapse of something that has contributed so much to science. This drone footage captures the moment when it happens. You may also recognize the Arecibo Observatory from its many film appearances. https://t.co/zkI8pU3vnU

Amazing to see AI being used to crack a 50-year old problem in computational biology. DeepMind’s results from AlphaFold are one of more exciting outcomes of AI that I’ve come across imo.
