How history’s biggest tech bubble explains where AI is headed next The post The AI Bubble Will Pop — And Why That Doesn’t Matter appeared first on Towards Data Science.
More than 300 people across academia and industry spilled into an auditorium to attend a BoltzGen seminar on Thursday, Oct. 30, hosted by the Abdul Latif Jameel Clinic for Machine Learning in Health (MIT Jameel Clinic). Headlining the event was MIT PhD student and BoltzGen’s first author Hannes Stärk, who had announced BoltzGen just a few days prior. Building upon Boltz-2, an open-source biomolecular structure prediction model predicting protein binding affinity that made waves over the summer, BoltzGen (officially released on Sunday, […]
Runway debuts a physics-aware world model that simulates reality to train agents and power video, robotics and avatar applications.
Let’s say an environmental scientist is studying whether exposure to air pollution is associated with lower birth weights in a particular county. They might train a machine-learning model to estimate the magnitude of this association, since machine-learning methods are especially good at learning complex relationships. Standard machine-learning methods excel at making predictions and sometimes provide uncertainties, like confidence intervals, for these predictions. However, they generally don’t provide estimates or confidence intervals when determining whether two variables are related. […]
Tune out external criticism, focus on process over outcomes, and embrace reflection and routine.
Selling “The Big Lies” helps Hollywood to keep alive the fantasy that the Left is the victim rather than the perpetrator of injustice.
EFF has, for many years, raised the alarm about the proliferation of stalkerware—commercially-available apps designed to be installed covertly on another person’s device and exfiltrate data from that device without their knowledge. In particular, we have urged the makers of anti-virus products for Android phones to improve their detection of stalkerware and call it out explicitly to users when it is found. In 2020 and 2021, AV Comparatives ran tests to see how well the most popular anti-virus […]
Key Highlights: After a successful launch of the Gemini 3 Pro-powered Nano Banana Pro, Google appears to be gearing up for the launch of Nano Banana 2 Flash. The upcoming image generation model will likely be powered by the Gemini 3 Flash model. According to code references, the new model is internally called “Mayo.” Nano Banana 2 Flash to come with almost similar image generation power as the “Pro” Citing details shared by early testers of Nano Banana […]
Author(s): Carlos Eduardo Favini Originally published on Towards AI. By Carlos Eduardo Favini Industrial AI — Image by Author 1. The Semantic Ceiling: Why Industrial AI Stalls After two decades of investment, roughly 70% of digital transformation initiatives fail to scale beyond pilot stages (McKinsey, 2023). Industry 4.0 delivered connectivity — sensors, networks, data lakes — but not cognition. The result: dashboards that monitor but don’t decide, models that predict but don’t understand, and automation that breaks when […]
