Elon Musk's Neuralink introduced the first human subject to receive the companyâs brain implant, a 29-year-old man who has been paralyzed from the shoulders down for eight years after a diving accident. (Wired)
In a brief livestream, the man introduced himself as Noland Arbaugh, and said heâs able to play online chess and the video game Civilization using the Neuralink device. âIf y'all can see the cursor moving around the screen, that's all me,â he said during the livestream as he moved a digital chess piece. âIt's pretty cool, huh?â
Neuralink did not respond to a request for interview, but the companyâs website says that the current generation of coin-sized implant called N1 records neural activity through 1024 electrodes distributed across 64 threads that extend into the userâs brain. These are so fine that they need to be installed by a surgical robot.
A tiny, ancient hominin may have been surprisingly clever (The Economist)
evidence that Homo nalediâa small-brained species of hominin that lived at a similar time to early humansâleft behind rock engravings and buried its dead deliberately and with ceremony.
If the engravings really are deliberate art, then, Homo naledi would join Neanderthals and Homo sapiens, both of which had much bigger brains, as the only hominins with an artistic bent.
Scientists generally believe that ceremonial burial indicates a sophisticated culture comfortable with abstract ideas. Art, meanwhile, is an example of the sort of symbolic thinking that some believe to be a precursor to language and high-level cognition.Â
If a species with a tiny brain really was thinking along such lines, it suggests the story of human evolution is in need of a rethink.

InquiĂ©tant ? GPT-4 est bien plus susceptible de vous faire changer d'avis qu'un humain (Ăcole Polytechnique FĂ©dĂ©rale de Lausanne, source)
Des participants ont Ă©tĂ© rĂ©partis alĂ©atoirement en diffĂ©rents groupes pour dĂ©battre de sujets controversĂ©s. Les chercheurs ont testĂ© quatre situations : humain contre humain, humain contre IA, humain contre humain bĂ©nĂ©ficiant d'informations sur son adversaire, et IA bĂ©nĂ©ficiant de ces mĂȘmes informations contre humain.Â
RĂ©sultat : fort de renseignements personnels sur son opposant, GPT-4 a pu augmenter l'adhĂ©sion des participants avec les arguments de leurs adversaires de 81,7 % par rapport aux dĂ©bats entre humains.Â
Et pour rappel, Sam Altman en Octobre dernier : "I expect ai to be capable of superhuman persuasion well before it is superhuman at general intelligence, which may lead to some very strange outcomes"

OpenAI holds back wide release of voice-cloning tech due to misuse concerns (OpenAI Blog, with samples)

but like most of whatâs happening in AI, lots of people are working on this and the âgood enoughâ versions will become generic commodities pretty quickly. Presume any voice you hear can be faked (tell your family, and tell your corporate treasury department, said tech analyst Ben Evans
