quote [ "It's so incredibly 2020s coded that Pokémon Go is being used to build an AI system which will almost inevitably end up being used by automated weapons systems to kill people," tweeted Elise Thomas, OSINT analyst at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue in the UK. ]
From last november .. the article links to more reporting plus the actual Achieve Spatial Intelligence article from Niantic itself. Also, last month they split off the spatial tech part and sold the games division?

quote [ This is the last episode of the Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality headset build. Doing a recap of all the steps it took to get here, test out the headset and create an augmented reality digital User Interface. ]
Pretty sweet. Ever since the Big Screen hmd has been teased I've been wanting to build myself a face fitted interface. He does a whole video on his process, so may be one day I'll finally get my own.

quote [ Programmer Jessica Card has hooked up OpenAI's chatbot ChatGPT to a stripped-down Furby. And the results are just as hair-raising as you'd expect.
So there we have it. Is this truly the end of days as we know it? The little critters are clearly capable of some pretty horrible stuff. Remember when they were banned by the NSA back in the 90s? ] For someone ignoring the subject/field.
What makes GTP-4 better then a glorified early 2000's Chat Bot that's been prettied up and give access to multithreads and computation power?

quote [ Adult Haptics Ecosystem with Kyle Machulis, better known as qDot, founder and CEO of Nonpolynomail.
Fantastic conversation spanning from the tremendous growth of the adult haptics ecosystem, the challenges of defining your target technology map, and the impacts of remote agency on your personal space. A must listen. ] This is the guy from Buttplug.io, I've posted about a few times. Great watch. Sadly, my own recent development work with The Handy has found the API to be lacking the response time needed for fine control of remote teledildonics. Your partner can control stroke speed, but any sort of one to one movement (which you would want in VR control) just doesn't work yet. But I've got ideas.
For my mookies. ?

quote [ KAT Walk C 2 is now LIVE ON KICKSTARTER! ]

quote [ Appearing like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, this giant humanoid robot can lift up special equipment and carry out maintenance work on out-of-reach railway contact lines in Japan. ]
Lol pretty sure I mentioned a setup like this a few years ago while talking about how VR is going to advance automation through training neural networks.
Also I wish America was a real country with an up to date rail infrastructure. ?
