While the timeline for Pi Coin’s evolution is testing the patience and faith of its community, is it all going to be worth it in the end? Pi Network has reportedly grown to over 60 million users (or “Pioneers”) as of 2024, and the numbers keep going up. Thanks to its mobile mining model and user-friendly approach, it’s become one of the largest communities in the cryptocurrency space. That being said, however, the timeline for Pi Coin’s evolution has been slower than many expected, which is testing the patience and faith of its community. Additionally, early adopters of Pi Coin…

The ability to communicate via dreams in real-time offers practical applications that could revolutionize the fields of therapy, training, education, art, architecture, music, and more. In a groundbreaking study that brings the mind-bending movie Inception to mind, a team of scientists led by researchers at the Bay Area startup REMspace claim to have demonstrated two-way communication between people, in a lucid dream state! Now that statement, challenges not only our understanding of dreams (which isn’t much) but also our understanding of human consciousness (which incidentally, also isn’t much). While the team of researchers (headed by REMspace CEO Michael Raduga) from…

Netflix’s bold decision to fire most of its game developers and replace them with AI begs the question: Can AI replace humans in the story-telling and creative aspect of video games? While AI continues to make waves across virtually every industry it comes in contact with, Netflix has taken a bold (and somewhat unexpected) decision to fire most of its game developers and replace them with AI! Now though the streaming giant has increasingly incorporated game development in its limitless content library, it’s not like many of us log on to Netflix to play games. In fact, according to CNBC,…

These new optical disks, while expensive, would make it possible to store all the 5.8 billion indexed web pages that power ChatGPT, in the kind of CD binders we used to carry around in the 90s. If you were old enough to drive in the 90s, you probably had a giant album of music CDs that you had to flip through to find the right song for a journey. A lot of us probably even had the album in our laps, flipping with one hand (and one eye), and steering and watching the road with the other. That was before…

While a lot of people called the video a hoax, both the Shanghai showroom owners and the manufacturers of the robots say the video is authentic, adding that the little robot somehow hacked their system! Could it be possible that we all just witnessed the first robot mutiny? In a recent development, Claude AI, an LLM that many consider to be better than ChatGPT for specific tasks, has apparently exhibited behavior consistent with what human beings would call boredom! That’s right, Claude AI, developed by Anthropic, apparently paused a coding demonstration to browse nature photos on the internet, more specifically,…

With the liquid Hydrogen engine being called a “great success,” Toyota has continued investing in the research and development of H2 fueled engines and announced a major breakthrough last month. In an interesting development, it looks like the world’s largest automaker firmly believes that Hydrogen is the future of the automobile industry, not electric vehicles. While Toyota isn’t by any means shutting down their EV operations, they’re cutting back production by about 30% due to low demand while doubling down on their hydrogen fuel projects. In fact, Toyota already has a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (FCV) that’s currently in its…

Dani Clode, the creator of the third thumb, believes humans need to move forward from viewing prosthetics as replacements and instead view them as possible extensions of the human body. If you’ve watched the hit series Twisted Metal and thought Stephanie Beatriz’s prosthetic metal finger was cool enough to lose a digit for, you may not have to. Dani Clode, the creator of the third thumb, believes humans need to move forward from viewing prosthetics as replacements and instead view them as possible extensions of the human body. She also points out on her website that the origin of the…

With two separate “breakthrough” developments that are both poised to revolutionize the world of ophthalmology, the world could soon change for people who are visually impaired or even born blind. Earlier this year we posted an article featuring “Acoustic-Touch” smart glasses that use spatial sounds to help the blind or vision impaired navigate around obstacles. In this post, we’re going to look at two separate “breakthrough” developments that are both poised to revolutionize the world of ophthalmology. In one of his most iconic performances till date, American comedian and actor Chris Rock famously called out the medical industry by pointing…

The Kryptonian crystal with the human genome on it is all set to be stored in The Memory Of Mankind vault which is deep within the abandoned Hallstatt salt mine in Germany. DC comic fans would probably already be aware of the Kryptonian memory crystals that debuted in the 1966 Action Comics and have been a major part of the Superman storyline ever since. Used to store information, videos, memories, and entire minds, Lex Luther even used one to grow a continent in the recent Superman Returns movie. Known for their special powers, durability, and indestructible nature, the contents of…

In a groundbreaking development, a team of South Korean researchers have developed a transparent solar cell that not only is cheap to produce, but also has a Power Conversion Efficiency on par with commercial solar cells. In our previous post we talked about how South Korean firm Hogreen air has developed a groundbreaking drone that flies on Hydrogen fuel. In this post, the South Koreans are at it again, and this time with solar cells that could be a game changer across industries. To put it simply, in the very near future, we’re probably not going to need to run…
