Stuff like self driving tech? Because it would be amazing and preserve somewhere around a million lives a year (worldwide auto accident deaths) once it's universal...

Engineers with time and freedom create incredible things.

Submission statement

> The article announces that ChatGPT, a neural network-based system for generating natural language text, can now use Wolfram|Alpha and Wolfram Language to perform computations and access factual data. The author calls this capability “Wolfram superpowers” and shows some examples of how ChatGPT can answer questions and generate visualizations using these tools. The author also explains some of the technical challenges and opportunities involved in connecting ChatGPT to Wolfram|Alpha and Wolfram Language. He argues that this integration can make ChatGPT more powerful, useful, and trustworthy as a conversational agent. He also speculates about the future possibilities of “ChatGPT + Wolfram” as a platform for creating intelligent applications.

That is so fucking rad. I really wish I had gone into the medical field sometimes, just so I could help real people with awesome advancements like this. Instead I program the back end system of a company lol. Perhaps I could transition into programming for medical devices?

That’s why we need to upvote the hell out of this comment

Hmmmm... What about "The Immortal Bard"?

>"The Immortal Bard" by Isaac Asimov. It was first published in 1953 in the magazine Universe Science Fiction. In the story, a computer science professor named Dr. Phineas Welch believes that Shakespeare made a mistake in one of his plays. He creates a time-travel device and brings Shakespeare to the present to attend one of his own literature classes.

>After attending the class, Shakespeare admits that he might have made a mistake, but also points out that the professor's interpretation of his work might be wrong. The professor then feeds Shakespeare's entire body of work into a computer and asks it to predict the word in question. The computer agrees with Shakespeare's original choice of words, thus challenging the professor's assumptions about the supposed mistake.

>The story explores the idea that the meaning and interpretation of art can change over time, and even the creators may not fully understand the impact of their work.

you'll probably get the best description from chatgpt

James Blish in Cities in Flight, pretty much nailed it.

I was about to be all - well it actually was the communicator handhelds and badges while the tricorder was a diagnostic/scanning device - but with all the accessories and sensors you can get with cellphones nowadays I guess that difference matters less and less.

Pretty sure regular phones existed when star trek was made

If this subreddit were about stuff available now, it would be /r/presentology

University experiment drama like this is similar to r/HobbyDrama, lol. I don't study wormholes, but this was an entertaining read.

Personally, I think the future of AI is some currently unknown architecture that will be invented by AI.

I was just thinking this, feels like at least once a week I hear about some new tech that will restore limbs or even a spine and yet I still see people in wheelchairs…..

I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine

This is going to be truer and truer as we get smarter and smarter

Good idea, his main Reddit community is an Antifa community.

Now THAT is a fucking great piece of science journalism. I love Quanta Mag. This was a great read.

I craved the strength ans certainty of steel.

I mean, the fact that basically nobody remembers Zip2 in 2023 really speaks to just how revolutionary it was.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/Hanzo_The_Ninja:

About four months ago news about a breakthrough wormhole simulation made the news, however as per this submission a recent analysis of the data suggests it may have been misinterpretted:

> Now another group of physicists has analyzed the result and determined that, while the experiment may have produced something vaguely wormhole-like, it wasn’t really a holographic wormhole in any meaningful sense. In light of the new analysis, independent researchers are coming to doubt that the teleportation experiment has anything to do with gravity after all.

Oof... Don't know if you just get too much of your info from reddit comments or are living in some fantasy world, but there isn't any point trying to argue with someone who is that separated from reality so think that doozy is where I stop responding to you.

Why /s? You don't wanna get 20 bucks?

Look, I can't help that the field of economics was founded by the commies of Germany and France.
