Episode notes
Jon Stewart vs. Apple
- Apple faced "creative differences" with Jon Stewart regarding his show's discussion of AI and China.
- Stewart left the show after Apple requested alignment with their views on these topics.
IBM's North Pole Chip
- IBM's new AI chip, North Pole, minimizes external memory access for faster processing and lower power consumption.
- This innovative design, inspired by the human cerebral cortex, significantly outperforms existing AI chips in image recognition.
AI Discovers Supernova
- An AI, the Bright Transient Survey Bot (BTSBot), detected a supernova autonomously for the first time.
- BTSBot analyzed astronomical data, identified the supernova candidate, and triggered a robotic telescope for confirmation, saving researchers significant time.
