DALL-E is an open-source artificial intelligence that will draw nine images based on what it learned on the internet. Enter in any prompt and the AI spits out the graphics. It continues to learn so the more we all use it, the better it will be. The free version is now called Craiyon and also comes as an app for Android devices, making it even easier to create weird art based on a Mad Lib-like string of random ideas. Who doesn't want to see a giant squid assembling IKEA furniture?

Driverless cars are already cruising around San Francisco. Soon they will be part of a public ride-hailing service, thanks to Waymo. The company is a spinoff of Google's self-driving car project, which has been testing cars in the city for over a decade. Waymo vehicles are also taking millions of photos. From these, the company has rendered an entire neighborhood in 3D. This simulation can help train the next generation of self-driving cars.

In December 2021, Engineered Arts, the UK's "leading designer and manufacturer of humanoid entertainment robots," introduced its robot Ameca to the internet. We, along with millions of other people, were astounded by Ameca's ridiculously humanlike physicality and movement. Now, Engineered Arts has released a new video of Ameca. One in which the robot gets a little angry. Engineered Arts recently posted the above video to its YouTube channel.

Megatron Transformer feels like an interesting name choice for an AI. We certainly love a nerdy piece of artificial intelligence, but it feels a bit ominous, all in all… considering Megatron tends to look down on "weaker life forms." And it gets even more ominous when we factor in what this AI had to say about the ethics of artificial intelligence. Not to mention, its dire-seeming predictions for the future. The article first notes that "the Megatron is trained on more written material than any of us could reasonably expect to digest in a lifetime. After such extensive research, it forms its own views."

Other language learning platforms on the market are based on AI technology and machine learning algorithms.

At this year's Oscar's, Denmark's Another Round won Best International Feature Film Oscar, as well as a Best Director nomination for Thomas Vinterberg. Considering all its success, of course Hollywood has plans to remake it in English. But that might be a thing of the past soon. Not because people are finally going to get over their aversion to subtitles; but because deepfake technology can now be used to match lips to dubbed dialogue.

We've seen AI--more specifically, machine learning--do some creepy things with faces, as well as some groundbreaking things with viruses. But it can still be applied to random, fun stuff, like sorting LEGO. Or, as YouTuber Ryder Calm Down shows here, complimenting passing dogs. Because the world is full of really good pooches and they should know it! Gizmodo picked up on the above video, which the Canadian YouTuber and software engineer recently posted to his channel.

Last year, graphics processing chip manufacturer NVIDIA released a new AI platform for video calls. The AI platform, Maxine, offers several intriguing features, including the game-changing ability to make it look like you're paying attention when you're not. Now, NVIDIA scientists have come up with another video-conferencing AI; one that'll let people use what are essentially deepfake versions of themselves for calls. The company's obviously building out Maxine, and looking for ways to make video conferencing better in general. The purpose of this particular AI is to lessen the amount of information that needs to be transmitted through the network in order to have clear video calls.

As machine learning ascends into realms of superhuman capability, it continues to do impressive and horrifying things with faces. For example: in one of his recent videos, YouTuber and software engineer Károly Zsolnai-Fehér outlines a new AI program that can make restored "super-resolution" versions of historical photographs. Versions that show us what historical figures like Abraham Lincoln and Albert Einstein really looked like. Zsolnai-Fehér posted the video describing the cutting-edge AI (above) to his YouTube channel, Two Minute Papers. Zsolnai-Fehér, who's made countless videos like this one, notes this explainer covers a recent paper describing Time-Travel Rephotography.

OpenAI's new immensely convincing language generator, GPT-3, recently demonstrated its rhetorical prowess when it argued the case for why it's harmless. Now, research scientist Janelle Shane has used the tool to generate something a bit more lighthearted. Namely, ideas on how to make nuclear waste sites safe for thousands upon thousands of years. Are you not terrified and repulsed?? I prompted GPT-3 with some human proposals for marking a nuclear waste site, in a way that will still be forbidding millennia from now.https://t.co/3v8uPJ98mo
