If a system can think, reproduce, create new ideas, and shows a tendency to survive and self-preserve, can we still consider it just technology, or should we think of it as a living species? a new form of being!

Researchers from Klick Labs based in Toronto developed an AI model that screens for Type 2 diabetes by analyzing just seconds of voice recordings with high accuracy.
🔍
AI detects diabetes by identifying subtle acoustic variations in pitch and intensity in voice samples.
The model shows 89% accuracy for women and 86% for men using 6-10 seconds of speech.
This non-invasive screening could help millions unaware of their diabetic condition globally.
The technology may expand to diagnose other health conditions using voice data.
Firecrawl raised $14.5 million in Series A funding and is pioneering efforts to hire AI agents as employees alongside human developers.
🔍
Firecrawl has 350,000 developer users and customers like Shopify and major hedge funds.
The company released an API with search support and plans natural language prompt integration.
Firecrawl seeks to help content creators get compensated when AI uses their data.
Their viral job ad for AI agent employees sparked widespread interest but no hires yet.
AI technology recreated Sarah’s authentic voice from eight seconds of noisy VHS tape, helping her communicate after 25 years with motor neurone disease.
🔍
Sarah lost her natural voice and hand mobility at 34 due to MND shortly after her second child’s birth.
Eye-gaze tech enabled her to communicate with a robotic voice before AI recreation.
Advanced AI isolated her voice from distorted audio and restored natural intonation.
Hearing her real voice has emotionally reconnected her with her children and family.

This deal marks the first purchase of power from a GEN IV reactor by TVA.
Hermes 2 Plant at Oak Ridge will ramp up capacity from 28 to 50 megawatts by 2030.
The agreement supports Google’s plan for 500 megawatts of nuclear energy by 2035.
High AI data center energy demand drives interest in advanced nuclear and clean energy solutions.

Chain-of-Thought prompts mimic reasoning via pattern matching, not actual logic.
LLMs struggle with tasks requiring deep understanding or extrapolation.
Fine-tuning improves task-specific skills but doesn’t enable true abstract reasoning.
Developers must carefully test LLMs for failures outside their training scope.
🔍
The model improves on past predictions, accurately accounting for temperature effects on solubility.
It uses chemical structure embeddings and was trained on a large, diverse dataset, BigSolDB.
Two model types—FastProp and ChemProp—performed similarly, highlighting data quality limits.
FastSolv, based on FastProp, is publicly available and already adopted by pharmaceutical companies.
🔍
Developed by Envision and Solos, the glasses feature lightweight design and discreet cameras.
Users can read text, identify objects, and explore environments using an AI assistant.
Designed specifically for accessibility, they aid diverse users beyond visual impairments.
The hands-free system benefits older adults, cognitive disability users, and caregivers too.
