iSkin’s Got Your nanos Covered

iSkin

iSkin may have a confusing, populous lineup of cases for various models of iPods, iPod nanos, PSPs, and even MacBook notebooks, but the advantage is that if you’re looking for a protective case, they probably have what you need.

Todayl iSkin took the wraps off its Duo for iPod nano (Aluminum) offering owners of second generation iPod nanos fashionable protection from scratches and the elements. Available in five colors (white, black, blue, red, and green), the Duo cases add just 1.65mm of thickness to the already svelte iPod nano, combining a clear “VISOR” inner silicon layer protects the iPod against moiture, shocks, and dust, while a power-coated ouer layer echoes the metallic look of the iPod nano and provides color options while protecting against screen damage.

The Duo’s are dock-compatible and work with most plug-in accessories; accessories include a bottom port cover, a removable rotary belt clip, and Apple dock adapter, and an adjustable lanyard. The Duos carry a suggested price of $29.99; they’re available from iSkin today, and will hit retailers in the next few weeks.

Facebook builds virtual homes to train A.I. agents in realistic environments
facebook habitat trains ai agents in virtual homes

Researchers at Facebook, which is no stranger to artificial intelligence, have created Habitat, a platform that allows A.I. agents to rapidly learn about the physical world by living in realistic environments within virtual homes.

Teaching A.I.-powered robots to accomplish tasks within the real world takes a significant amount of time. While it may be possible to have actual robots move about in physical spaces for their training, it can take hundreds of hours, an even years, for the A.I. agents to learn how to move from one place to another, determine objects, and answer questions about their surroundings.

Get ready to waste your day with this creepily accurate text-generating A.I.
ai spots writing by fake news feature

Whether you believe it was one of the most dangerous versions of artificial intelligence created or dismiss it as a massive unnecessary PR exercise, there’s no doubt that the GPT-2 algorithm created by research lab OpenA.I. caused a lot of buzz when it was announced earlier this year.

Revealed in February, OpenA.I. said it developed an algorithm too dangerous to release to the general public. Although only a text generator, GPT-2 supposedly generated text so crazily humanlike that it could convince people that they were reading a real text written by an actual person. To use it, all a user had to do would be to feed in the start of the document, and then let the A.I. take over to complete it. Give it the opening of a newspaper story, and it would even manufacture fictitious “quotes.” Predictably, news media went into overdrive describing this as the terrifying new face of fake news. And for potentially good reason.
