Large Language Models, like ChatGPT, are learning to play Dungeons & Dragons. The reason? Simulating and playing the popular tabletop role-playing game provides a good testing ground for AI agents that need to function independently for long stretches of time.Large Language Models, like ChatGPT, are learning to play Dungeons & Dragons.

By rethinking how thin metal threads are woven into a flexible textile, EPFL researchers have created a lightweight fabric capable of lifting over 400 times its own weight. The work advances the development of wearables that provide physical assistance without mechanical bulk.By rethinking how thin metal threads are woven into a flexible textile, EPFL researchers have created a lightweight fabric capable of lifting over 400 times its own weight.

Autonomous vehicles have made remarkable progress over the past decade. Driverless cars and buses that once struggled to stay in lane can now navigate busy city streets, recognize pedestrians and cyclists, and respond smoothly to traffic signals.Autonomous vehicles have made remarkable progress over the past decade.

Before DeepSeek shook up the tech world and put Chinese artificial intelligence on the map, Wu Chenglin’s own startup had nearly folded three times—but in the past year it has raised $30 million.Before DeepSeek shook up the tech world and put Chinese artificial intelligence on the map, Wu Chenglin’s own startup had nearly folded three times—but in the past year it has raised $30 million.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
It has been over a decade since Google Glass smart glasses were announced in 2013, followed by their swift withdrawal—in part because of low adoption. Their subsequent (and lesser known) second iteration was released in 2017 and aimed at the workplace. They were withdrawn in 2023.It has been over a decade since Google Glass smart glasses were announced in 2013, followed by their swift withdrawal—in part because of low adoption.

For as long as humans have buried their dead, they’ve dreamed of keeping them close. The ancient Fayum portraits—those stunningly lifelike images wrapped in Egyptian mummies—captured faces meant to remain present even after life had left the body.For as long as humans have buried their dead, they’ve dreamed of keeping them close.
