Dream. Think. Create.

Look who made it into this video, but was working in a completely different world.

1/4 “AI is a tool, not a creature.” -- Sam Altman

I asked ChatGPT and Claude to write a VBA script to create a PowerPoint presentation for me. I learned from these tools while we went through some troubleshooting steps, but we never finished the task.

This is awesome!

I am beyond proud that one of my Undergraduate Research Experience (URE) students is getting his research on computer vision published in the Journal of Advanced Technological Education - a peer-reviewed technical journal produced by the ATE community. It will be in print soon!

These are the first waveforms produced by our next generation stimulation ASIC on benchtop. This custom chip unlocks the ability to support 16k+ channels with sufficient voltage and current and the fine control required to restore vision or reanimate the body, something we hope to do in the future💡#techtuesday

Bing’s #ChatGPT alternative is expected to be faster than GPT-3.5. It is known as the Prometheus model, and it brings current news to its chat for up-to-date results that are still safe for Bing’s large user base (@DigitalTrends).

I have early access to @bing's AI-powered “answer engine” & it worked well on a simple vanity search. I was glad to see a library shout out in one of the answers, but it would have been better if it sensed where I was to provide location information for local libraries. #CILDC

Fun with @midjourney!

I received a Beta invitation for @LumaLabsAI, which is using Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) to train a neural network to reconstruct scenes, and it is impressive even though I only scanned 67% of this prosthetic arm.

A little over a week ago, @LouisMarkoya and I did a keynote at the #InternetLibrarian conference in Monterey, California.

Today, I see art that he has created for the Zac Brown Band with thousands of likes and perhaps millions of views. Great work, Louis!

[SPC's iLab @spcilab]

Yes! We're excited to help @ISS_CASIS achieve their mission of "working to shape the next generation of leaders and explorers" and to promote "diversity in STEM education and encourage outreach into underrepresented communities." Let's get to work!

[Chad Mairn @cmairn]

Great timing! In an #InternetLibrarian workshop, I mentioned the $10,000 grant that @my_pcs and @spcilab received to "unlock enhanced resources offered through the Expedition Space Lab" and here is the official press release!

Thank you, @ISS_CASIS

#InternetLibrarian, go see "Strange Attractors" by keynoter/artist Louis Markoya tomorrow night (10/19) at 7:30pm. It is pretty incredible!

[Chad Mairn @cmairn]

I'll be streaming Louis Markoya's mind-blowing 3D film to VR headsets Wednesday evening at #InternetLibrarian. Obviously, 2D displays won't look as incredible, but you'll get the idea. Note: the soundtrack is composed by Muse, just in case the Twitter police mute the audio.

[Chad Mairn @cmairn]

Watch “Mediating Mediums - The Digital 3d!” This video explores the future of mixed reality and its relationship to physical form and architecture. It's 11 years old and it's still brilliant!

Yes, thank YOU @WPLive! We really appreciate your generous donation!

Kudos to @WNYC's @SeanECarl for his no-doubt-record-setting speed in delivering the top-of-the-hour station identification.
Impressive.
