So, it would be some sort of direct cortical interface.". And he added that such a "merging" would not require surgery but could instead be accomplished by going through veins and arteries — "because that provides a complete roadway to all of your neurons.". You Tube. Such a project could be life-changing for people who suffer from neurological diseases and injuries. In addition, Musk has said, enhancing people's brains could allow humanity to avoid becoming the equivalent of "a house cat" after AI surpasses us — a development he said was just a matter of time.

Why Elon Musk Worries About Artificial Intelligence

... Musk's prejudice prompted him to donate millions to the ethics think tank Open AI —and it's why he's urging other billionaire techies like Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Alphabet's Larry Page to proceed with caution on their myriad of machine learning and robotics experiments. Open AI is both an ethics and a research institution. Its mandate (plucked from its website ): "Because of AI's surprising history, it's hard to predict when human-level AI might come within reach. When it does, it'll be important to have a leading research institution which can prioritize a good outcome for all over its own self-interest.". For more insight into Musk's motivation, I recommend Maureen Dowd's treatise in the latest issue of Vanity Fair. Ostensibly, her article is about Musk, but she also does a masterful job of revealing where noted AI enthusiasts stand on the ethics debate. For example, Ray Kurzweil, who writes often about the coming merger of man and machine as part of his ...

Space X concept image of people landing on Mars. (Photo: Space X). “I think it’s shaking now,” he said Thursday. “I really do.”. Of the three missions SES has flown on Falcon 9 rockets to date, Halliwell said the ride on a recycled booster was the smoothest yet. “I think we made a little bit of history today, actually, and just opened a door into a whole new era of spaceflight,” he said. Longer-term, Musk thinks reusability can lead to a 100-fold reduction in the ...

The researchers then assigned English words to the numerical strings the bots came up with. Through trial and error, the bots were able to learn what worked and what didn’t as they attempted to accomplish the assigned goals. “We think that if we slowly increase the complexity of their environment, and the range of actions the agents themselves are allowed to take, it’s possible they’ll create an expressive language which contains concepts beyond the basic verbs and nouns that evolved here,” the researchers explained in a blog post.

Torrent Freak reports Mr Kuncewicz reckons it's unlikely any Kodi users will ever be prosecuted for dodgy add-ons. "You've got big content producers like HBO that are used to producing premium content that people pay for," Kuncewicz said. "Where they are directing their attention is on the people who sell these boxes loaded with software that lets you get around paying a subscription.". "From the punter's point of view, if you're watching something made by HBO that Netflix would hope that you'd be paying them to watch, but you're watching it for free via your Kodi stick, then are you going to get a knock on the door?"

They also don't think it will matter once the games begin. "You can play in the national championship game nine years in a row. If you go the 10 th time, you're nervous before that ball goes up in the air. There's no such thing as not being nervous for a big game," South Carolina's Frank Martin said Monday during a teleconference with reporters. "What I do think is a huge advantage for Roy, his players, staff members, everyone at the university, is having been through it as recently as last year. They're fresh on the preparation, on the things to expect, what's coming. That way they can better manage their times, their days, to eliminate any distractions that can prevent them from being prepared for the game itself.". South Carolina (26-10) and ...

Marisa Tomei Wanted To Be An Older Aunt May

... in Brian Michael Bendis' Ultimate Spider-Man run the character was younger than her classic counterpart, in both age and personality. Sally Field also played a younger version of the character in The Amazing Spider-Man movies, but this version is much younger than even that take, so it will be interesting to see what fans think of the new direction.

... species native to China better known as a "Tree of Heaven", which is found throughout the older neighbourhoods of New York City. Know for its hardiness and ability to thrive in the most inhospitable urban conditions, it is also known the for the sour odour it produces when cut, grows new roots constantly and moves those roots around to steal from the supply of other plants — or even crack the walls of a basement. Lennon's tree surgeon had said that the huge tree could survive another 25 years, according to court records, and Lennon's legal team suggested that the Tomeis could solve the problem by taking a small hand-held grinder to their railings. But the Tomeis' reaction was to call such a plan 'ludicrous.'. The NY Post now reports that Lennon has finally settled the $14.5 million lawsuit and removed the pesky tree.

Oscars Blunder Vindicates Marisa Tomei

... when Faye Dunaway did misspeak on Feb. 26, nobody from the accounting firm, now Pricewaterhouse Coopers, rushed the stage to admit the error. It turned out the accountant, who should have made certain that Warren Beatty picked up the right envelope, was distracted as he tweeted photos of Emma Stone. What’s important is that Tomei, who’s been nominated three times for an Oscar, is exonerated. You wouldn’t think that all the rumors surrounding her victory would matter, but she was really hurt. I’m surprised that anyone would question her legitimacy as the winner, given that her performance in “My Cousin Vinny,” as Joe Pesci’s fiancee, is hilarious. Anybody who can play comedy this well is a terrific actor. In 2008, when Tomei played a struggling exotic dancer in Darren Aronofsky’s “The Wrestler,” and she was nominated again, she did a conference call with a couple hundred reporters before that year’s Oscars. It was surprising when she said she felt the rumors about her Academy Award actually hurt her career. Instead of it being a tremendous ...

Only minutes before, when the stage at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater was uninhabited, the carcass of a slaughtered animal looking like a hairless deer (or a headless human) dangled from on high. It’s a bloody carcass, meant to remind us that we once fed on the meat of wild animals. That’s the way things go in this initially provocative but eventually lame play by Ruhl, author of “The Clean House” and “In the Next Room; or, the Vibrator Play,” both Pulitzer Prize finalists.

And as for whether the What Women Want star believes happy marriages are possible, she politely responded, “Well, I’m not married, so I’m not qualified to speak to that.”. But Tomei was more forthcoming when discussing her sartorial preferences. “Vintage plus independent labels plus kind of conceptual avant-garde things, hopefully classic,” she detailed.

... the name of the last nominee he’d read, Tomei went up to the stage to collect her Oscar, and nobody said anything. But much like when Steve Harvey mucked up the Miss Universe pageant and declared the wrong winner, this year’s Best Picture snafu only serves to vindicate Tomei’s win, because we can all see what really happens when the wrong name is read by a presenter. It’s embarrassing, and it’s controversial, but it gets fixed. It’s a good thing, too, because maybe today — on the 25 th anniversary of My Cousin Vinny‘s release — we can start appreciating Tomei’s performance for what it is. And what it is is a brilliant, scene-stealing comedic showcase that injects a decent-but-unspectacular mainstream comedy with a shot of adrenaline and energy whenever she’s on screen. It’s the definition of a star turn, and it ...

The Scene That Won Marisa Tomei Her Oscar

... '90 s, Dennis Hopper was one of the most popular actors in Hollywood when it came to playing villains, and Spheeris wanted to cast him as the father figure to Wayne's nemesis and scumbag TV producer, Benjamin Oliver (Rob Lowe). Unfortunately, budget constraints prevented the hire, so Hopper's character got merged into the Benjamin role. The famous "Bohemian Rhapsody" lip-synch scene was based on Myers' childhood memories of singing along to the song in the car. According to Rolling Stone, Michaels and Spheeris wanted to use a Guns N' Roses song as that band was more contemporary, but Myers threatened to walk off set if he didn't get his way. It took four hours to complete the Bohemian Rhapsody scene, and Myers was complaining of whiplash and neck strain from headbanging so much, according to an interview by Spheeris in Entertainment Weekly. But that famous scene was just one of many moments where Myers and Spheeris locked horns over the direction of the movie. Eventually, the two severed ties with each other after Spheeris ...
