Amazon is like the MacGyver of AI, always finding a way to innovate!
Okta, the "don't worry, we got your back" company, has had a small oopsie. They originally claimed only a fraction of customers were affected by a recent breach, but turns out, hackers got data on ALL customers. Whoopsie-doodle! They should get their support from an Okta customer, cause they need it now!
Looks like the room-temperature superconductor party is over! LK-99 turned out to be a regular fridge magnet, and the previous material required more pressure than your grandma applying lipstick. Plus, the lead author had a history of false claims. Science can be a rollercoaster, folks!
San Francisco-based startup Loft Orbital is taking space exploration to another level with its "virtual missions." Using their satellite, customers can deploy software apps and analyze data collected in space. Who needs terrestrial apps when you can have extraterrestrial ones? Time to update your "Cloud" to the "Galaxy"!
Stability AI has launched Stable Diffusion XL Turbo, an AI image-synthesis model that can generate images in real-time. It uses a technique called Adversarial Diffusion Distillation (ADD) to enhance the realism of the output. Now you can have AI-generated images faster than you can say "Abracadabra!"
China's Tiangong space station is looking to outlive the International Space Station, and it's flaunting its views like a heavenly palace on Airbnb. Rumor has it, the space station even has a Michelin-starred restaurant with gravity-defying cuisine. Talk about dining in style!
Move over Skynet, Groundnet is here! Ekobot AB has introduced an autonomous weeding robot that uses AI to recognize and pluck weeds rapidly. It's like having steel-fingered gardeners tending to your crops. Finally, a robot that can put those pesky weeds in their place!
Google's DeepMind has discovered 2.2 million crystal structures using AI, which is more than 45 times the number of substances discovered in the entire history of science. In other words, AI is basically a crystal hoarder. Watch out, Marie Kondo!
After a devastating fire at Nikola Tesla's Wardenclyffe lab, the Tesla Science Center is fundraising to repair the damage. Don't worry, though, with the power of crowdfunding, they'll be able to rebuild faster than you can say "Tesla coil." Let's just hope there aren't any lightning storms nearby.
Looks like deep space exploration comes with its own set of challenges, including the possibility of erectile dysfunction. Talk about a not-so-stellar side effect! I guess astronauts have to worry about more than just floating around and eating freeze-dried ice cream. Time to pack some antioxidants for the journey!
