South Korean researchers have developed Nano-MIND, a system using magnetized nanoparticles and magnetic fields to remotely control specific brain regions in mice, enabling precise manipulation of behaviors like appetite, social interaction and maternal instincts. Unlike invasive methods such as optogenetics, Nano-MIND is wireless and non-invasive, using nanoparticles as "switches" activated by external magnetic fields to … Continue reading Scientists develop world’s first magnetic nanoparticle technology to remotely control behavior
NANNY VEHICLES: New cars in Europe to automatically reduce engine power if driver is speeding
The surveillance state is expanding in Europe after new rules came into effect on July 7, 2024, that force automobile manufacturers to control how fast people are allowed to drive their own new cars. From now on, all new cars sold in Europe must be outfitted with Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) systems that automatically limit vehicle speeds … Continue reading NANNY VEHICLES: New cars in Europe to automatically reduce engine power if driver is speeding
Microsoft AI releases scary new deepfake technology that could make many newscasters, podcasters obsolete
Microsoft Research Asia is forging on with a new transhumanist program called VASA that creates "lifelike talking faces of virtual characters with appealing visual effective skills (VAS), given a single static image and a speech audio clip." The artificial intelligence (AI) division of Microsoft in Asia has been working on the program by compiling real single images … Continue reading Microsoft AI releases scary new deepfake technology that could make many newscasters, podcasters obsolete
Fast-food employees already being replaced by AI chatbots
Corporations are desperate to shed their human employees in order to replace them with unpaid AI robots whose job it will be to take people’s orders at the fast-food drive-thru. The Ohio-based Wendy’s chain is piloting a program at a corporate-owned location in Columbus that does just this: replace fast-food order-taking employees with an artificial intelligence chatbot … Continue reading Fast-food employees already being replaced by AI chatbots
Ethical questions raised after Elon Musk’s Neuralink company implants chip in monkey’s brain
Scientists and ethicists have questioned the ethical implications of human and cyborg hybridization experiments after a recent demonstration involving a monkey with a brain chip controlling a video game with its mind. On April 8, Elon Musk’s neurotechnology start-up Neuralink announced that it had successfully created a cyborg monkey that can play Pong with its mind using … Continue reading Ethical questions raised after Elon Musk’s Neuralink company implants chip in monkey’s brain
Scientists develop artificial muscles powered by glucose: Findings will be used to develop a system that’s “even closer to a biological muscle”
A recent breakthrough in engineering and robotics just might blur the line between man and machine. Researchers from Linköping University in Sweden have successfully developed and created artificial muscles that run on glucose and oxygen — just like their organic counterparts. According to the researchers, they wanted to develop artificial muscles, which, instead of using traditional actuators powered by … Continue reading Scientists develop artificial muscles powered by glucose: Findings will be used to develop a system that’s “even closer to a biological muscle”
Updating fluid-powered machines: Scientists design bizarre-looking lionfish powered by a blood-like compound
You’ve heard of robots that can run, lift, jump and crawl. Now, prepare to see one that can bleed. In a paper published in the scientific journal Nature, a joint team of researchers from Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania detailed how they built a soft robotic lionfish, complete with a multi-functional circulatory system. At its core: a blood-like compound that not … Continue reading Updating fluid-powered machines: Scientists design bizarre-looking lionfish powered by a blood-like compound
Latest B.S. science hype from Elon Musk claims upcoming launch of “brain-computer interface” called Neuralink
There’s perhaps nobody in the world that’s more gung-ho about merging humans with “the machine” than Elon Musk, who’s reportedly developing a new technology known as Neuralink that he claims will one day have the capacity to integrate computers with the human brain. According to the billionaire technocrat, turning humans into artificial intelligence (AI) hybrid beings is … Continue reading Latest B.S. science hype from Elon Musk claims upcoming launch of “brain-computer interface” called Neuralink
