The films span nearly a century of cinema, from silent-era classics to modern blockbusters and were praised for respecting real scientific principles rather than relying on fantasy. According to NASA and NASA-affiliated scientists, accuracy is not about predicting the future perfectly, but about portraying science, scientists and technology realistically. Movies like Gattaca and Jurassic Park earned recognition for their grounded treatment of genetics, DNA and complex systems.

Oilers look to end lengthy drought: What life looked like the last time a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup
The Dallas Cowboys had just won the Vince Lombardi Trophy, handing the Buffalo Bills their third straight loss in the Super Bowl. Bill Clinton was sworn into office as the 42nd president of the United States. And American music icon Prince became The Artist Formerly Known as Prince. It was also the last time a Canadian hockey team won the Stanley Cup. On Saturday night, the Edmonton Oilers hope to take the first step toward breaking that drought when they take on the Florida Panthers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final.

Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection review – a great way to relive a lost world of gaming
For a period during the mid-1990s, it was ruled that no blockbuster movie was really complete until it had also been translated into a rock hard platformer or run-and-gun arcade adventure, seemingly designed to enrage and frustrate children everywhere. Disney's wildly uncompromising Aladdin and Lion King tie-ins were shining examples as were Probe Software's challenging Robocop 3 and Alien 3 titles. But veteran Manchester-based publisher Ocean was also a key purveyor. The company spent the 1980s churning out TV and movie games such as Miami Vice, Top Gun and Highlander, but its Jurassic Park titles were among its most ambitious creations and this new collection from cult retro label Limited Run Games brings its NES, SNES and Game Boy translations of the 1993 film together, while also including sequel Jurassic Park 2: The Chaos Continues and two Mega Drive tie-ins created by Bluesky Software: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition. Let's be honest here: none of the games were considered amazing at the time.

Hoping for the Best as AI Evolves
Something incredible is happening in AI right now, and it is not entirely to the good. Everybody is talking about systems such as ChatGPT (OpenAI), Dall-E 2, and Lensa that generate text and images that look remarkably human-like, with astonishingly little effort. These systems can be incredibly fun to play with. Take this example, generated with ChatGPT by Henry Minsky (son of Marvin Minsky, one of AI's founders), who asked ChatGPT to "Describe losing your sock in the dryer in the style of the Declaration of Independence": When in the course of household events, it becomes necessary for one to dissolve the bonds that have connected a sock to its mate, and to assume among the powers of the laundry room, the separate and equal station to which the laws of physics and of household maintenance entitle it, a decent respect to the opinions of socks requires that it should declare the causes which impel it to go missing. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all socks are created equal, and are endowed by their manufacturer with certain unalienable rights.

Why Steven Spielberg Shouldn't Fear AI - by Louis Anslow
In a recent exchange on The Late Show, host Stephen Colbert pressed iconic director Steven Spielberg to weigh in on the ever-evolving world of AI-generated art. Spielberg expressed his love for it, saying that he believes any time a person uses digital tools to express themselves and convey a message is fantastic. It was a rational and thoughtful response that mimicked those of Samuel Morse regarding photography in the 1840s. Colbert, however, wasn't satisfied with a measured answer. He pushed Spielberg further, suggesting that AI art was beginning to look more like a replacement for human creativity.

AI Platforms like ChatGPT Are Easy to Use but Also Potentially Dangerous - Scientific American
Something incredible is happening in artificial intelligence right now--but it's not entirely good. Everybody is talking about systems like ChatGPT, which generates text that seems remarkably human. This makes it fun to play with, but there is a dark side, too. Because they are so good at imitating human styles, there is risk that such chatbots could be used to mass-produce misinformation. To get a sense of what it does best at its best, consider this example generated by ChatGPT, sent to me over e-mail by Henry Minsky (son of Marvin Minsky, one of AI's foundational researchers).

Elon Musk-owned Neuralink's test monkeys were 'tortured', group claims
Monkeys being tested on by Elon Musk-owned brain chip firm Neuralink were allegedly subject to'torture', an animal rights group claims. The biotech firm is developing a brain-computer interface, that it claims could one day make humans hyper-intelligent, and allow paralysed people to walk again. However, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) alleges that between 2017 and 2020, test monkeys owned by Neuralink were subject to experiments that amounted to torture, with evidence of rashes, self-mutilation and brain hemorrhages in documentation seen by the group. The experiments were a partnership between University of California Davis, and Neuralink, with a reported 23 monkeys involved in the experiment, 15 of which died or were euthanized as a result of complications, or'inadequate animal care'. PCRM lodged a complaint with the US Department of Agriculture on Thursday against UC Davis, claiming the primates faced'extreme suffering as a result of inadequate animal care and the highly invasive experimental head implants during the experiments.'

Neuralink has a monkey play Pong with its MIND - and it is appealing for HUMAN volunteers next
Elon Musk's Neuralink has shown off its latest brain implant by making a monkey play Pong with its mind, and the firm hopes to test on human volunteers next. The brain computer interface was implanted in a nine year old macaque monkey called Pager, who was first taught to play video games with a joystick. The device in his brain recorded information about the neurons firing while he played the game, learning to predict the movements he would make. Once the Neuralink device was ready the joystick was removed and the monkey was able to go on to play the game Pong purely with his brain computer interface. Musk said on Twitter: 'Soon our monkey will be on twitch & discord,' referring to the popular services where gamers stream their play for people watching at home.

Neuralink could create 'exotic species' of dinosaurs, co-founder says
US technology company Neuralink could create'novel exotic species' of dinosaurs in just 15 years, according to Max Hodak, one of its co-founders. Hodak is an American entrepreneur and technologist who co-founded the contentious neurotechnology firm with Elon Musk. The firm, known for putting a computer chip in the brain of a pig, could'probably build Jurassic Park' if it wanted to, Hodak said, in reference to the 1993 blockbuster film. Neuralink is currently working on technology that aims to allow people to hook their brains up to a computer and effectively become cyborgs. Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Laura Dern and Sam Neill watch dinosaur eggs hatch in a scene from the film'Jurassic Park', 1993 Elon Musk's latest company Neuralink is working to link the human brain with a machine interface by creating micron-sized devices.
