AI learning from AI-generated content will damage future AI models warn researchers

AI learning from AI-generated content will damage future AI models warn researchers

WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF As AI generates more content we’ll see more AI’s being trained using that content and that will bring about something researchers call “AI Model Collapse” which could be catastrophic for the industry.   Love the Exponential Future?

Old oil wells are finding new life as Hydrogen fuel sources thanks to these bacteria

Old oil wells are finding new life as Hydrogen fuel sources thanks to these bacteria

WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF Once oil wells are tapped out they’re capped, but now they’re getting a new lease of life after bacteria injected into them turn them into green hydrogen fuel sources.   Love the Exponential Future?

Bacteria manage to recycle plastic into vanilla flavouring in weird world first

WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF If you think plastics can only be recycled to make new plastics you’d be wrong.   Love the Exponential Future? Join our XPotential Community, future proof yourself with courses from XPotential University, connect, watch a keynote, or browse my blog. I see many weird things – such as molecular assemblers and...

Genetic engineering breakthrough turns chickens into egg laying medicine factories

Genetic engineering breakthrough turns chickens into egg laying medicine factories

WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF Being able to produce drugs and medicines cheaply is important, and this breakthrough breaks grounds on all kinds of fronts.   Ordinarily, when scientists want to produce proteins to use in medicine they have to use techniques that are costly and complex. Recently, however, in...

Genetically modified super cows are resistant to tuberculosis

WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF Every year in the UK over 36,000 cattle that contract TB are culled, but now that might end up being a thing of the past.   Tuna and pigs recently got their own slice of emerging technology action by getting their own blockchains, but now...
