Simulating Extinct Species

Communications of the ACM

How did extinct animals move? Paleontologists are interested in figuring this out since it can tell us more about their ways of life, such as whether they were agile enough to hunt prey. It can also provide clues about how locomotion evolved; for example, when our ancestors started to walk upright. Researchers have come up with hypotheses about the movement of long-gone species by examining evidence such as fossilized bones or well-preserved footprints. Extinct animals can also be compared to similar living ones: comparing their limb length, for example, can give an idea of their speed of movement.




Imagining a future where smart glasses allow 'AI slop' to be avoided

Imagining a future where smart glasses allow'AI slop' to be avoided "Wearing the unsmart glasses created an entirely un-augmented reality " By the mid-2020s, the world was becoming swamped with "AI slop". Whether images, video, music, emails, ads, speeches or TV shows, many people's interactions were with asinine content generated by artificial intelligence. Sometimes the experience was fun and relatively harmless, but often it was tedious and brain-sapping . At worst, it could be dangerously misleading . Even engagements with other people became suspect - who knew if the person on the phone was real or not?
