Memory Implants are Almost here!

/in , /by

The idea of a chip that allows record and replay memories may seem farfetched, Apple believe it soon will become reality.

During a TED talk in Vancouver Tom Gruber co-creator of Siri said:

“I believe AI will make personal memory enhancement a reality. I think it’s inevitable.”

Konbini are reporting that companies from all across Silicon Valley are working on designing telepathic AI that would allow such feats.

It’s hoped that tech like this would help in law suits and in the courts with things like assault, sexual assault and other crimes, acting as irrefutable evidence. While this is good, there is the worry of privacy and how ‘memories’ could be kept insanely secure (nothing can beat it being solely in your mind though eh?) To this privacy worry Gruber stated:

“We get to chose what is and is not recalled and retained. It’s absolutely essential that this be kept very secure.”

He’s spitballing of course, but we shall see what happens in the future.

Would you get an implant?

What memory would you like to re-see?

What memory wouldn’t you like to see again?

What memory would you delete?

Are we all going to become cyborgs?

Elons Tunnel Machine Name?

/in , /by

Elon Musk is now, as you may know, is looking at building a load of tunnels under LA to deal with it’s traffic problem. Well Elon Musk despite having to yet overcome things like permits or if his idea will work, or if he even has enough money to actually build the thing took to Twitter to think of some names for his tunnel building machine. This is what he has come up with thus far:

Elon doesn’t have a clue.

/in , /by

Last week we told you about the tunnels that Elon Musk wanted to build to get rid of traffic in LA. Well Musk actually began testing his hypothesis this past week on Space X properties.

Elon Musk actually Tweeted this in December and Marcus (at the time, when Producer Bill put this toward him as a feature on the show) said that Elon was joking. How wrong was he! 😉

 


Following through with his crazy promises (Because Money) Musk actually admitted:

“We have no idea what we’re doing—I want to be clear about that,” Musk said at a SpaceX hyperloop design competition this past Sunday.
On Sunday Musk hypothesised his tunnel idea on the concept of “going 3D down”:

You have tall buildings, they’re all 3D, and then everyone wants to go into the building and leave the building at a same time. On a 2D road network, that obviously doesn’t work, so you have to go 3D either up or down. And I think probably down”

Environmentalists aren’t happy though with an urban planning researcher at UCLA telling WIRED,

“Our recent experience with tunnels in the US is that neighbours worry, you run up against various environmental laws, and you just never know what’s underneath the Earth.”

But Musk retorted, “better tunnelling tech improves everything: road, subway, Hyperloop.”

Oh to be a billionaire.

NYC Tracking Homeless People

/in , /by

NYC are trying to battle the social problem of homelessness and the NYC mayor is planning to deploy a tool to count every homeless person in the city.

In the hands of workers that reach out to the homeless every day “Street Smart” will help to track health, income, demographics and other figures. The city wants to help collate and build this comprehensive data and get the people the help they need.

Time is needed to build trust with the homeless & “Street Smart” collects data and makes it accessible to multiple social workers who may come in contact with the same person, whilst keeping a homeless persons data/privacy on lock.

The obvious massive advantage to this is the easily accessible data such as a homeless persons behavioral patterns and trouble points, at a worker’s fingertips without having to delve into mountains of paperwork. Plus gives workers a heads up when shelters aren’t giving or offering the help to the homeless that they should, not forgetting the benefit of easily being able to check in on a homeless person if they need help or someone to talk to.

Cute Cat

Robot Spy Cats!

/in , /by

The U.S according to an apparent leaked CIA Memo obtained by Wikileaks apparently used cats to spy on Soviet Russia during the Cold War!

The crazy yet gruesome idea involved US Spies cutting open a real life cat and inserting spy equipment into its body, the tail would be used as an antenna with a wire running down the felines spine and a microphone in its ear all tied together with a batter placed on it’s chest!

Codenamed ‘‘Project Acoustic Kitty’ £10million was apparently invested into it for 5 years in the 60’s as the US government tried to develop its spy technology – Despite all this the project was never actually commissioned.
