I look forward to a future in which the audio quality of the remote guests are as good as that of the on-site host.
Skip the first 11:08...
I gave your MIT Tech Review site a go, read 2 articles and BAM! the silver screen of payment...either monthly or yearly but it had blocked all interactivity. That broke the spell
16:39 I agree to a small language model that covers a fixed amount of knowledge (data) and uses a controllable parameter that doesn't occupy a large storage. SML can be equivalent to an expert in a single profession who is only knowledgeable in his field, and can't help you in other fields if you ask it. This model should mitigate hallucinations in the Ai operation while massively improving efficiency and proficiency. At the moment we don't need a language model that knows everything but one that is highly proficient in a needed professional field. Until the solution is discovered to correct the large language model deficiencies. If you want an agricultural scientist, then you can train the small language model (SML) on all the data on Agriculture, it shouldn't be trained on any other data, to avoid confusion or hallucinations. At the end you have a fully trained expert in the field of agriculture or whatever field of knowledge that is desired.
* The 2025 Breakthrough Technologies List: * Vera C. Rubin Observatory: A new telescope set to explore dark matter and dark energy [11:02]. * Generative AI Search: Integrating large language models into search engines [13:23]. * Small Language Models: Efficient, focused AI models for specific tasks, potentially offering better privacy [15:21]. * Cattle Burping Restraints: Supplements designed to reduce methane emissions from cows [21:01]. * Robotaxis: Autonomous vehicles becoming more common [24:35]. * Cleaner Jet Fuel: Scaling up alternative jet fuels driven by new policies [28:02]. * Fast-Learning Robots: Robots capable of learning from observation and adapting quickly [30:30]. * Long-Acting HIV Prevention Meds: A new injectable drug for convenient and effective HIV prevention [33:32]. * Green Steel: Methods for producing steel without carbon emissions [36:41]. * Stem Cell Therapies That Work: Promising new treatments using stem cells, particularly for type 1 diabetes and epilepsy [38:23]. * Technologies Not Included: The video also touches on technologies like virtual power plants, AI agents, and air taxis, explaining why they didn't make the final list [41:47]. * Audience Vote: Viewers are invited to vote for an 11th breakthrough technology from a selection including brain-computer interfaces and continuous glucose monitors [46:15]. * Call to Action: The video encourages viewers to subscribe to MIT Technology Review for more insights [49:40].
Half this video is the setup 😅
If we were smart the top 10 would be about restoring nature and depolluting the planet
Video actually starts at 11:00.
Fascinating.
1:25. MIT Review - intro 11:00. Vera C. Rubin Observatory. Telescope in Chile 13:30. AI internet search 15:24. Small language models 21:00. Burping cows 24:36. Robotaxis 28:05 Clean jet fuel 30:30. Robots 33:40. HIV prevention 36:40. Green steel
Quite a breakthrough in Technology the environment remains a priority
Notice the word "could" used in nearly all first sentences. I would not bet on the accuracy except MIT staff sniffing cow farts.
Social incidents changer....as MIT person through incident equations.
The list starts at about 10:00 in. Great content, but next time condense the first 10 mins to 2. It felt too sales-y & the MIT Brand Carrie’s itself in terms of cred.
I believe the safety driver must be there, someone to be legally accountable, but also to provide the warm, human touch😂 less unemployment as well.
That's what is called progress. We will no longer need slave owners to manipulate us, we will do it ourselves. George Orwell, wherever you are, pray for us.
Unfortunately I couldn’t stop seeing the purple bell end behind the speaker when he partially obscured the animal graphic……..
