Beyond static AI: MIT’s new framework lets models teach themselves
MIT researchers developed SEAL, a framework that lets language models continuously learn new knowledge and tasks.Read More
Scientists Are Sending Cannabis Seeds to Space
The versatile cannabis plant could, some scientists think, one day be useful for lunar and Martian colonists. For now, researchers will subject its seeds to radiation in orbit and see what happens.
Affordances in the brain: The human superpower AI hasn’t mastered
Scientists at the University of Amsterdam discovered that our brains automatically understand how we can move through different environments—whether it’s swimming in a lake or walking a path—without conscious thought. These “action possibilities,” or affordances, light up specific brain regions independently of what’s visually present. In contrast, AI models like ChatGPT still struggle with these …

Omnigen 2 is out
It’s actually been out for a few days but since I haven’t found any discussion of it I figured I’d post it. The results I’m getting from the demo are much better than what I got from the original. There are comfy nodes and a hf space: https://github.com/Yuan-ManX/ComfyUI-OmniGen2 https://huggingface.co/spaces/OmniGen2/OmniGen2 submitted by /u/Betadoggo_ [link] [comments]
From fear to fluency: Why empathy is the missing ingredient in AI rollouts
Empathy and trust are not optional. They are essential for scaling change and encouraging innovation, particularly in this age of AI.Read More
What Satellite Images Reveal About the US Bombing of Iran’s Nuclear Sites
The US concentrated its attack on Fordow, an enrichment plant built hundreds of feet underground. Aerial photos give important clues about what damage the “bunker-buster” bombs may have caused.
Half of today’s jobs could vanish—Here’s how smart countries are future-proofing workers
AI is revolutionizing the job landscape, prompting nations worldwide to prepare their workforces for dramatic changes. A University of Georgia study evaluated 50 countries’ national AI strategies and found significant differences in how governments prioritize education and workforce training. While many jobs could disappear in the coming decades, new careers requiring advanced AI skills are …

Spline Path Control v2 – Control the motion of anything without extra prompting! Free and Open Source
Here’s v2 of a project I started a few days ago. This will probably be the first and last big update I’ll do for now. Majority of this project was made using AI (which is why I was able to make v1 in 1 day, and v2 in 3 days). Spline Path Control is a …
STARFlow: Scaling Latent Normalizing Flows for High-resolution Image Synthesis
We present STARFlow, a scalable generative model based on normalizing flows that achieves strong performance in high-resolution image synthesis. The core of STARFlow is Transformer Autoregressive Flow (TARFlow), which combines the expressive power of normalizing flows with the structured modeling capabilities of Autoregressive Transformers. We first establish the theoretical universality of TARFlow for modeling continuous …
