Now, there's concern that neuroscientists might be doing the same by developing technologies capable of "decoding" our thoughts and laying bare the hidden contents of our mind. Though neural decoding has been in development for decades, it broke into popular culture earlier this year, thanks to a slew of high-profile papers. In one, researchers used data from implanted electrodes to reconstruct the Pink Floyd song participants were listening to. In another paper, published in Nature, scientists combined brain scans with AI-powered language generators (like those undergirding ChatGPT and similar tools) to translate brain activity into coherent, continuous sentences. This method didn't require invasive surgery, and yet it was able to reconstruct the meaning of a story from purely imagined, rather than spoken or heard, speech.

This felt a bit surreal, like a subplot in a William Gibson novel: It's not even 2023 yet, and I've already paid actual dineros to buy a copy of an AI co-authored book, with an ISBN number and everything! The human author doesn't use the term "co-authored" or "co-written". Instead, he shrewdly refers to the collaboration as: "based on a conversation with a deep-learning model"; However, at the end of the book he plainly states that it was "%99 generated in a conversation with ChatGPT", and that it was "written front to cover in one single Sunday afternoon". "The book was written front to cover in one single Sunday afternoon" "%99 generated in a conversation with ChatGPT" I follow the author Chris Laffra's Amazon author page. He wrote the excellent (and highly-recommended) "Communication for Engineers", as well as an older textbook "Advanced Java".

After a nine minute trip into orbit and a few hundred mile journey to the coast of Florida, SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket has finally returned home. The rocket pulled into Port Canaveral aboard the firm's drone ship'Of Course I Still Love You' after launching NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley toward the International Space Station (ISS) aboard a Crew Dragon capsule May 30. Falcon 9 pulled into the port as a hero, following the launch on Saturday that brought spaceflight back to US soil. NASA and Elon Musk's SpaceX made history with their'Launch America' mission on May 30 that launched Behnken and Hurley from Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida to the International Space Station - the first time in nine years an American crew has launched from US soil. Falcon 9 pulled into Port Canaveral aboard the firm's drone ship'Of Course I Still Love You' after launching NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley toward the International Space Station aboard a Crew Dragon capsule May 30 The launch was initially set to take place May 27 but was scrubbed with 16 minutes and 54 seconds left on the countdown clock due to poor weather.

"Downton Abbey" and "The Good Wife" have racked up 47 Emmy acting nominations over the course of their runs, and you can bet your Yorkshire pudding that voters are going to send these two departing shows out with a warm embrace. Anything else would be a slap in the face, something we know "Good Wife" fans do not appreciate one bit. Analysis: "Mad Men's" Jon Hamm finally won this Emmy last year. Will it now be Spacey's turn? But voters have an array of actors from new shows this year, including some – Giamatti ("Billions"), Aaron Paul ("The Path") and Bobby Cannavale ("Vinyl") – who have won Emmys for past work.

Elon Musk's SpaceX team just made history by launching a Falcon 9 rocket from Florida that delivered a Dragon spacecraft into orbit and then successfully landed back on an autonomous drone ship in the Atlantic named Of Course I Still Love You. First, that feat is an awesome scientific achievement, and as many have pointed out, being able to land and reuse rockets is the future. Not destroying a 60 million rocket every time something is launched into space could do a whole lot to make space travel less expensive. But why was the ship the Falcon landed on named Of Course I Still Love You? And why is Musk's other drone ship named Just Read the Instructions? As Business Insider quant reporter -- and sci-fi aficionado -- Andy Kiersz pointed out, when we first learned the names of these ships a year ago, both come from Iain M. Banks' "Culture" series.
