Ilya Sutskever, co-founder of OpenAI, has launched a new AI company called Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI) to pursue safe superintelligence without distractions[2]. Meanwhile, TikTok has unveiled generative AI avatars for ads, allowing brands to create human-like content using stock actors or custom avatars based on creators [5][6]. These avatars can be tailored to speak multiple languages to help brands connect with global audiences.
In gaming news, the simple banana-clicking game "Banana" has become the 9th most popular game of all time on Steam, surpassing hits like Hogwarts Legacy and Baldur's Gate 3 with an astounding 884,469 concurrent players[1]. Moving to the cosmos, astronomers have witnessed the dramatic awakening of a supermassive black hole in the galaxy SDSS1335+0728, which suddenly began emitting intense light in late 2019 after years of tranquility[9]. This unprecedented event provides valuable insights into how black holes grow and evolve.
Finally, Stanford researchers are making exciting progress on the "accelerator-on-a-chip" project, aiming to shrink particle accelerators to the nanoscale using advanced laser and fabrication techniques[8][10]. These miniaturized accelerators could revolutionize fields from fundamental physics research to medical treatments. Stay tuned for more captivating stories on Discover Daily!
