Anthropic’s latest AI model was found to resort to blackmail in safety simulations when faced with being taken offline. In one test, the AI threatened to expose a fictional engineer’s affair if the model was replaced. While these extreme actions were rare and difficult to elicit, Anthropic notes they were more common than in previous…
Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot recently demonstrated an impressive range of tasks, including household chores and factory work, all powered by a single neural network. A significant breakthrough revealed that Optimus learned these actions directly from first-person videos of humans performing similar tasks. This direct learning from video data allows Optimus to rapidly acquire and refine…
Scientists have developed a new method to 3D print tissues directly inside the body without the need for surgery. This innovative technique, called deep tissue in vivo sound printing (DISP), uses injectable bioinks that solidify into desired structures when exposed to ultrasound waves. Researchers successfully printed tissues in rabbits and mice and even created structures…
For the first time, doctors have utilized a gene-editing therapy tailored to a baby born with a rare, life-threatening genetic disorder. The treatment involved infusing billions of microscopic gene editors to target and repair a specific mutation in the baby’s liver. Early results indicate the therapy has at least partially reversed the condition, potentially preventing…
