• Did Elon Musk forget about OpenAI or is he just trolling his dumbest fans?

  19-01-2022 23:09 via thenextweb.com
  
  It’s impossible to tell if Elon Musk is serious about anything anymore. His image exists in a dichotomy between cartoonesque and genius. He’s simultaneously the richest man in the world and the patron saint of meme war veterans and shitcoin shillers. And he’s also a brilliant engineer and one of the most talented technologists in generations. All of this combines to make him, potentially, the world’s greatest social media troll. His brand is excruciatingly simple, yet pe

  We’ve already been blown away by Rimac’s breathtaking Nevera, the all-electric hypercar that goes 0-60mph in just 1.85 seconds. And we were stunned when Rimac swallowed Bugatti to become, well, Bugatti Rimac. But here’s another bombshell from the Croatian automaker… The Rimac Group announced that its engineering division, Rimac Technology, is set to become a standalone company. It will be entirely dedicated to developing EV tech for the Croatian-French hypercar mak

• This car can (probably) mine crypto and we’re not sure that’s a good thing

  19-01-2022 14:58 via thenextweb.com
  
  The thing mobility and blockchain technology have in common are grandiose ideas that promise a lot, but don’t consistently deliver. So can a product that combines both overcome this? Canadian company, Daymak, believes it can. Since 2002, Daymak has been the biggest distributor and developer of electric light vehicles in Canada. It has over 150 dealers, has sold more than 100,000 vehicles, and exports to 25 countries. For reference, light electric vehicles refer to electric-power

• The Tonga volcanic disaster shows we need to rethink telecom infrastructure

  19-01-2022 12:19 via thenextweb.com
  
  In the wake of a violent volcanic eruption in Tonga, much of the communication with residents on the islands remains at a standstill. In our modern, highly-connected world, more than 95% of global data transfer occurs along fibre-optic cables that criss-cross through the world’s oceans. Breakage or interruption to this critical infrastructure can have catastrophic local, regional and even global consequences. This is exactly what has happened in Tonga following Saturday’s volcano-ts

• 100 years of quantum physics: From 1920s theories to mind-bending computers of 2020

  19-01-2022 11:04 via thenextweb.com
  
  Back in the 1920s, quantum mechanics, which is the theory that underpins everything from how atoms behave to how quantum computers work, was well on the way to gaining mainstream acceptance. But one conundrum remained: Sometimes, quantum objects like electrons, atoms, and molecules behave like particles, and others they behave like waves. Sometimes they even behave like particles and waves at the same time. So, when studying these quantum objects, it has never been quite clear which approach sc

• Confused Replika AI users are standing up for bots and trying to bang the algorithm

  19-01-2022 02:08 via thenextweb.com
  
  There something strange happening on Reddit. People are advocating for a kinder, more considerate approach to relationships. They’re railing against the toxic treatment and abuse of others. And they’re falling in love. Simply put: humans are showing us their best side. Unfortunately, they’re not standing up for other humans or forging bonds with other people. The “others” they’re defending and romancing are chatbots. And it’s a little creepy. I recently
