The Rise of the AI Underground: Rebooting Silicon Valley

As part of our own recent AI hackathon, the NFX content team spent 48 hours going from house to house, office to office, talking with top founders about their work — what’s hard, what’s exciting, and what will never be the same again. What’s really happening day in and day out at hacker houses and AI social clubs is electric and an entirely new way of thinking and building. This is the rise of the AI underground.

NFX has not invested in any of the highlighted companies in this documentary. See more content from us at — www.nfx.com

Qualcomm launches video collaboration platform suite to enable digital transformation of homes and enterprise

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. unveiled the Qualcomm Video Collaboration Platform, a new suite of video collaboration solutions that allows original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to easily design and deploy video conferencing products featuring superior video, audio and customizable on-device AI to power engaging, immersive virtual meeting experiences across enterprise, healthcare, educational, and home environments. The Qualcomm® Video Collaboration Platform is a one-stop solution that provides essential hardware and software features specifically tailored for video conferencing so that customers can quickly design and deploy a wide variety of video conferencing products, from enterprise video collaboration systems and huddle room systems to digital whiteboards, to touch controllers and personal devices for the home.

With support for Android and Linux, the three AI-rich platforms offer greater flexibility and ability to customize and deploy video conferencing products across diverse environments. Qualcomm Technologies’ industry-leading innovations in connectivity, compute, AI, audio, and video work together to deliver features that eliminate distractions, enhance productivity, and allow remote meeting callers to feel more connected to conference room participants by providing individual views of everybody in the room, creating an equal viewing experience for all participants.

With the rapid advances in generative AI, future meeting experiences will offer even more advanced video, speech, and text capabilities. Collaboration devices with dedicated hardware support for on-chip AI acceleration will be able to optimize these experiences by splitting workloads between the cloud and edge-based device.

A Quantum of Solace: Resolving a Mathematical Puzzle in Quarks and Gluons in Nuclear Matter

Scientists have taken a significant step forward in the study of the properties of quarks and gluons, the particles that make up atomic nuclei, by resolving a long-standing issue with a theoretical calculation method known as “axial gauge.” MIT

MIT is an acronym for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is a prestigious private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts that was founded in 1861. It is organized into five Schools: architecture and planning; engineering; humanities, arts, and social sciences; management; and science. MIT’s impact includes many scientific breakthroughs and technological advances. Their stated goal is to make a better world through education, research, and innovation.

Space Folding Explained | Spacing Guild Navigation | Dune Lore

A discussion of the fascinating concept of space folding as it is presented in the Dune legendarium. In order to fill the needs of the vast interstellar empire of Frank Herbert’s universe the mechanism of space-folding is heavily relied upon. This form of faster-than-light travel enables spaceships to traverse astronomical distances instantaneously, and has proven crucial in shaping its social, economic, and political dynamics. Spoiler warning if you are unfamiliar with Frank Herbert’s Dune.

Here’s Where Air Quality Will Worsen As New York, Philadelphia And Toronto Are Blanketed In Wildfire Smoke

The haze of smoke from Canadian wildfires that smothered New York and New England in dark clouds Tuesday night is expected to linger throughout the week, and intensify in some areas as officials urge residents to stay inside and schools cancel outdoor activity amid “unhealthy” and “hazardous” air-quality levels.

New York City

Officials warn pollutants in the air can cause difficulty breathing, headaches and fatigue, and can be unhealthy, especially for people with respiratory illnesses.

Why We Need More Collaboration Between EdTech And AI Developers

The current education landscape requires close collaboration between edtech and AI developers to leverage their expertise and maximize the impact of AI technology in the sector. It also aims to avoid the negative consequences of redundant efforts, wasted resources and less effective solutions. By effectively applying best practices such as clear communication, alignment of goals, and interdisciplinary collaboration, edtech and AI developers can develop innovative, scalable and effective solutions. The “AI and the Future of Learning: Expert Panel Report” underscores key strategies for successful collaboration between edtech and AI developers. The report highlights key strengths and weaknesses of AI as well as the respective opportunities and barriers to employing AI technologies in the education sector.

Education plays a critical role in promoting social and economic development in a region, and when communities recognize its potential, they are more likely to support educational reforms. These reforms can address any challenges in the sector, such as funding constraints, lack of access to quality education and cultural attitudes that may deny education to particular groups. With the increased adoption of AI in the education sector, potential future developments—including ITS, adaptive assessment, gamification and the use of machine learning—can promote the efficiency of personalized learning.

In the long run, the collaboration between edtech and AI developers holds great potential for transforming education and improving learning outcomes. For this to happen, it is necessary to establish industry standards for AI in education, foster interdisciplinary collaboration between educators and AI experts, and invest in research on AI’s impact on learning outcomes. In this way, we can ensure that AI-powered tools are used effectively and ethically to improve student learning in the 21st century.

U.S. Senate leader schedules classified AI briefings

Possibly a move to freeze and stall the tec, like the bio ethics clowns who were able to freeze bio tec. But, China wouldnt sign on to any freeze, thankfully. And the tec has already spread across 3rd world countries.

WASHINGTON, June 6 (Reuters) — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Tuesday he has scheduled three briefings for senators on artificial intelligence, including the first classified briefing on the topic.

In a letter to colleagues on Tuesday, the Democratic leader said senators need to deepen their understanding of artificial intelligence.

“AI is already changing our world, and experts have repeatedly told us that it will have a profound impact on everything from our national security to our classrooms to our workforce, including potentially significant job displacement,” Schumer said.

Throw Forward Thursday: CRISPR

The 2020 Nobel Prize for Chemistry was awarded to Dr. Jennifer Doudna and Dr. Emmanuelle Charpentier for their work on the gene editing technique known as CRISPR-Cas9. This gives us the ability to change the DNA of any living thing, from plants and animals to humans.

The applications are enormous, from improving farming to curing diseases. A decade or so from now, CRISPR will no doubt be taught in High Schools, and be a basic building block of medicine and agriculture. It is going to change everything.

There are ethical and moral concerns, of course, and we will need regulations to ensure this powerful technology is not abused. But we should focus on the remarkable opportunities CRISPR has opened up for us.
