| Google now says controversial AI voice calling system will identify itself to humans Posted: 10 May 2018 04:46 PM PDT  Following widespread outcry over the ethical dilemmas raised by Google's new Duplex system, which lets artificial intelligence mimic a human voice to make appointments, Google has clarified in a statement that the experimental system will have "disclosure built-in." That seems to mean that whatever eventual shape Duplex takes as a consumer product will involve some type of verbal announcement to the person on the other end that he or she is in fact talking to an AI. "We understand and value the discussion around Google Duplex — as we've said from the beginning, transparency in the technology is important," a Google spokesperson told The Verge in a statement this evening. "We are designing this feature with disclosure built-in, and we'll... |
| Microsoft opens PC games and all Xbox One titles to its digital gifting program Posted: 10 May 2018 03:45 PM PDT  Microsoft today announced an expansion of its digital game gifting program to include PC titles and PC game content, like map backs and in-game skins. In addition to adding PC game gifting through the Microsoft Store, the company is also expanding its existing console game gifting program to include all Xbox One games. Prior to today, Microsoft only let players purchase and gift select Xbox One titles along with Xbox One downloadable content and subscriptions to Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass. The program does have clear limitations, and Microsoft does not let you gift already owned software. So this isn't a game-sharing program so much as it it's a straightforward purchase option for people who want to buy digital software for... |
| YouTube now supports HDR video on Apple’s latest iPhones Posted: 10 May 2018 02:51 PM PDT  YouTube has added support for HDR video playback on Apple's iPhone X, 8, and 8 Plus. The iPad Pro also has a display that's bright and vibrant enough for high dynamic range content, but MacRumors notes that YouTube hasn't flipped the switch to enable it on there yet. HDR video is more colorful and more radiant than traditional content. It's a little closer to looking through a window than watching video on a screen. But you've got to have a display that's capable of showing it; thankfully more and more recent smartphones do. YouTube has plenty of great demo material for seeing the improved picture for yourself: just search "HDR" and you'll find no shortage of exotic scenery, cityscapes, food, animals, and other demo reel material. My... |
| Peloton to launch its smart exercise bike in the UK and Canada Posted: 10 May 2018 02:38 PM PDT  Connected exercise equipment company Peloton is expanding sales of its stationary bike to the UK and Canada, as reported earlier today by Engadget. Peloton's bikes, which cost $1,995 along with a $39-per-month subscription to Peloton's live and on-demand classes, have a tablet affixed to the front along with a camera and built-in microphone. Classes are streamed through the touchscreen, and if you can't make the live sessions, over 5,000 classes can be viewed on demand. The screen also displays your output, and, if you're in a live class, your rank compared with everyone else currently participating. This year at CES, Peloton debuted its $4,000 treadmill, which offers over 7,000 on-demand running and cross-training classes. The company... |
| Rolls-Royce suggests using its first SUV to go volcano boarding Posted: 10 May 2018 02:03 PM PDT  After years of teasing and testing, Rolls-Royce has unveiled its first SUV, a boat of a vehicle called the Cullinan that's named after the largest diamond ever discovered. "The most anticipated car of 2018 and, quite possibly, the most anticipated Rolls-Royce of all time," according to Rolls-Royce, the Cullinan goes on sale later this year for around $325,000 — roughly 1/100th of the estimated value of the diamond. The all-wheel drive Cullinan will be plenty powerful — with a 6.75L twin-turbo V12 engine that makes 563 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque — and it's being positioned by Rolls-Royce as an adept offroad vehicle. (The company says the Cullinan has been "tested to destruction all over the planet.") |
| Boston Dynamics’ robots are learning how to run outside and navigate autonomously Posted: 10 May 2018 01:52 PM PDT  Boston Dynamics' robots look more natural and more amazing with each video, and today the company posted two more clips to its YouTube channel showing the latest progress of its Atlas and SpotMini robots. The clips don't reveal much we haven't seen before, but they both show how naturally these robots are able to move around. In one video, Atlas, the humanoid robot, goes for a jog in a grassy yard that appears to be sloped here and there. It pauses at one point to jump over a log; while the jump isn't the most elegant of its movements, it's not exactly a surprise the robot can accomplish this: we saw it doing a backflip last year. In the other video, the dog-like SpotMini robot runs around an office on its own and shows... |
| How Avengers: Infinity War turned Josh Brolin into an eight-foot purple madman Posted: 10 May 2018 12:55 PM PDT  Despite the title of Avengers: Infinity War, the lead character isn't Iron Man, Captain America, or any of the other Avengers who protect the world from evil. From beginning to end, Joe and Anthony Russo's blockbuster is about the eight-foot intergalactic big bad Thanos, played by Josh Brolin. Thanos is every bit as dominating and destructive as fans of the series could hope, but he isn't the one-dimensional villain he so easily could have been. His maniacal plan to restore balance to the universe by arbitrarily killing half its inhabitants aside, Thanos is sometimes a strangely sympathetic character. He's capable of feeling compassion for a young Gamora, even after he murders her mother and half her planet. He's legitimately hurt when... |
| Klout is out and there’s nary a pout Posted: 10 May 2018 12:35 PM PDT  Klout is out and there's nary a pout. Lithium Technologies, which purchased Klout in 2014 for reportedly $200 million, has announced it's going to shut down the site by May 25th. May 25th is, coincidentally, also the deadline for companies to comply with the new European data privacy rules. And although it's not explicitly stated, GDPR might have played a role in Klout's downfall. "Klout as a standalone service is not aligned with our long-term strategy," Lithium's CEO Peter Hess wrote in a blog post. When it launched, the controversial social reputation service allowed users to link their social media accounts to figure out what topics they're an expert on based on posts they've shared and friends they were connected to. Once Klout... |
| The White House has set up a task force to help further the country’s AI development Posted: 10 May 2018 12:06 PM PDT  The White House has set up a new task force dedicated to US artificial intelligence efforts, the Trump administration announced today during an event with technology executives, government leaders, and AI experts. The news and the event, which was organized by the federal government, are both moves to further the country's AI development, as other regions like Europe and Asia ramp up AI investment and R&D as well. The administration will be further investing in AI, deputy CTO of the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy Michael Kratsios said at the event. "To realize the full potential of AI for the American people, it will require the combined efforts of industry, academia, and government," Kratsios said, according to F... |
| SpaceX delays launch of its most powerful Falcon 9 rocket until Friday Posted: 10 May 2018 03:20 PM PDT  Update Thursday May 10th, 6:20PM ET: The final countdown of the Falcon 9's launch was halted just a minute before take off on Thursday, due to problem with ground support systems that triggered the vehicle's abort sequence. SpaceX wasn't able to fix the problem during the launch window and has delayed the mission to Friday, May 10th. The company can take off during a launch window that spans between 4:14PM ET and 6:21PM ET. Tomorrow, SpaceX is slated to launch the first high-orbit communications satellite ever for the country of Bangladesh, and the company is using its most advanced Falcon 9 yet for the job. Called Bangabandhu-1, the satellite is riding into space on top of SpaceX's Block 5 Falcon 9 rocket. It's the last and most... |
