China’s AI-powered laser mosquito zapper goes viral after crowdfunding success
A Chinese start-up that is developing an AI-powered laser mosquito zapper has raised US$2.7 million on the Indiegogo crowdfunding platform as it navigates the challenges of complex sensor calibrations and Western safety regulations. Photon Matrix Lab, based in Changzhou, in eastern China’s Jiangsu province, has gone viral around the world with its portable laser mosquito defence system, which compresses industrial-grade lasers into a consumer device. Promising to rapidly detect and eliminate...
ConlangCrafter Turns AI to Imagining Languages
There are over 7,000 natural languages today, but that doesn’t stop people from occasionally making up completely new ones. These constructed languages, or conlangs , include Dothraki , Klingon , and various Elvish languages . Now, an AI model called ConlangCrafter is also capable of generating new languages—and it is particularly good at it. In a paper published 27 June in the Proceedings of the Association of Computational Linguists, researchers analyzed ConlangCrafter’s language-generation abilities, reporting that it can develop a diverse array of novel languages that consistently abide by their rules. How ConlangCrafter Creates New Languages In previous work, Gašper Beguš , an associate professor of linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley, showed how large language models (LLMs) can analyze languages to the same extent as most humans. In his most recent endeavor, he set out to push the language boundaries of AI models even further. “Creating an entire language is not an easy task at all,” Beguš says, noting that some people have dedicated their careers to creating conlangs for movies, books, and video games. But Beguš sees additional value in making AI models capable of creating truly novel languages beyond what humans could imagine. “[Models] are able to imagine or come up with things that we might not, and we can learn so much from that,” he says. For example, ConlangCrafter can create new languages with unconventional communication systems, such as a la…

'미소스 5' 미국 내 제한적 배포 허용…'페이블 5'는 금지 유지
미국 정부가 자국의 일부 조직을 대상으로 앤트로픽의 \'미소스 5\'에 대한 접근을 허락했지만, 일반 사용자 대상의 \'페이블 5\'는 여전히 외국인 접근 금지 상태로 남게 됐다. 특히 정부가 특정 기업을 임의로 선정해 첨단 모델의 접근 권한을 부여하면서, AI 시장에 대한 정부의 과도한 통제권 행사와 형평성 문제를 둘러싼 비판이 거세지고 있다.26일(현지시간) 로이터 등에 따르면, 앤트로픽은 미 정부로부터 미소스 5를 일부 \"신뢰할 수 있는\" 미국 기관과 기업에 재배치할 수 있다는 통보를 받았다고 밝혔다. 이는 미 정부가 안보상 위험을

Dave Eggers: ‘Once you have a machine think and write for you, you’re cooked as a species’
As his new novel is published, the US author talks about nurturing the next generation of creatives, debating Sam Altman – and why he writes on a boat in San Francisco Bay At Dave Eggers’s suggestion, we’re starting the interview by life drawing together. The novelist dropped out of art school but has been drawing for decades, and his new book is set in the art world. Prudence, our model, stands before us with her palms open, nude but for a pair of black knee-high socks. This, unsurprisingly, is an interview first for me. Eggers shows me how to hold my pencil at arm’s length and use my thumb to measure Prudence’s proportions. Since the pandemic, he’s been organising regular life‑drawing sessions in the book-lined offices of McSweeney’s, the publishing house and literary journal he founded in San Francisco in 1998. He loves the element of chance in figure drawing – you never know which sketch will work out – and believes it helps cultivate empathy. How so, asks Prudence, helpfully interviewing him for me, because I’ve been thrown off my game. “I feel like in three hours of drawing a human, you learn so much about them and there is so much affection that comes from carefully trying to get them right,” he says.

As China’s tech firms adapt to AI era, workers worry they’ll be ‘optimised’ out of a job
When a friend checked in on a Meituan employee late last month to see if he had survived the latest round of corporate culling at the food delivery giant, he responded drily: “I don’t know whether it will be me next.” Anxieties were running high at the company then, after chat screenshots circulated on Chinese social media claiming Meituan planned to slash up to half of its product roles by the end of June, coupled with deep cuts to other departments.
