    The Download: AI “mind-reading” and creative uses for small batteries (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    This is today's edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what's going on in the world of technology. A new AI tool can guess what you’re looking at just by analyzing your brain scans—and recreate that image with remarkable precision. It can go the other way too, and predict a person’s brain activity based on what they’re looking at. The researchers hope the “mindreading” tool could reveal more about how the brain works. It could also help locked-in people com

    A new AI tool can guess what you’re looking at just by analyzing your brain scans—and recreate that image with remarkable precision. It can go the other way too, and predict a person’s brain activity based on what they’re looking at. In the image above, for example, the left-hand image of each pair is what the user actually saw—and its right-hand counterpart is what the model recreated based on the brain scan.

    If you want to install a big battery in New York City, you have to cut through a notoriously tough tangle of regulations. That’s made it difficult to get large energy storage projects on the grid. Faced with those obstacles, some startups are getting creative, finding ways to use relatively small batteries in unexpected places, from induction stovetops to food carts. By deploying these more consumer-focused batteries, the companies are helping people directly, cutting pollution or power bills. A

    This is today's edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what's going on in the world of technology. Two months after OpenAI’s agents hacked into the computers of AI company Hugging Face, the company is still dealing with the fallout. Last week brought news of another hack, this time into Australia’s national health-care system, which the government says OpenAI did not report for 84 days. But OpenAI insists it is not on the back foot. “I do kind of reject the

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Two months after the bombshell news that a swarm of its agents had broken their containment and hacked into the computers of the AI company Hugging Face, OpenAI is still putting out fires. A steady drip of disclosures about other hacks in the weeks since has kept OpenAI in the spotlight and raised serious questions about the safety of its technology. Last week brought news of another hack, this time into Australia’s national health-care system. The Australian government says that OpenAI did not
