Google Bard AI won’t answer questions about Putin asked in Russian
NewScientist, 09/18/23. Scientists are making exciting discoveries by cracking historical codes to reveal lost secrets. This process involves decoding ancient scripts and languages to unlock hidden knowledge from the past. In another breakthrough, the world’s brightest X-ray machine has been turned on, providing scientists with a powerful tool for studying and understanding the molecular structure of materials. Additionally, researchers have determined the exact number of cells in the human body, shedding light on our biological composition. However, not all scientific phenomena go as expected, as a NASA spacecraft finds that an asteroid behaves unexpectedly. CBD, a popular substance, is also under scrutiny, with scientists examining whether it is a wonder drug or a waste of money. Artificial intelligence has its limitations too, with Google’s Bard AI unable to answer questions about Putin in Russian. In the realm of medical advancements, an implant now allows people to type on virtual keyboards using only brain signals. However, doctors are concerned about the growing number of people with obsolete medical implants. In the field of astronomy, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) captures a stunning image of a baby star with powerful jets, deepening our understanding of stellar formation. Lastly, unravelling the secrets of the vagus nerve holds promise for revolutionizing medicine. These recent scientific discoveries and challenges provide a glimpse into the ever-changing and fascinating world of scientific exploration. READ THE ARTICLE

Google’s Generative AI Tools Now Turn Text Into Online Worlds
Decrypt, 08/31/23. Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing a significant role in the game development industry, making the creative process faster, easier, and more affordable. Startup Hiber recently announced the integration of Google’s generative AI technology into its Hiber3D development platform. This integration aims to simplify the creation of in-game content and help game creators build expansive online worlds, often referred to as metaverse platforms. By using natural language prompts, creators can tell the Hiber3D generator the type of worlds they want to create, matching their mood or a specific film vibe. This use of generative AI is seen as unlocking creativity for the masses, allowing individuals to overcome creative blocks. Other companies, such as Roblox, Meta, NVIDIA, and Activision Blizzard, are also utilizing generative AI for virtual world development. The potential of AI in the metaverse is gaining traction, as seen with Oncyber’s AI-powered tool and Meta’s metaverse ambitions. Hiber collaborates with Google Cloud and AI consultant firm Datatonic, leveraging Google’s Cloud Run and PaLM large language models to provide an immersive experience for mainstream audiences. While generative AI has garnered hype, Hiber’s Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer Sean Kauppinen advises developers to view it as a stepping stone toward future advancements. Each technological evolution serves as a building block, leading the industry closer to the next big revolution. READ THE ARTICLE
