Hello, welcome to Technscape. In this week’s version: 23andme bankruptcy files, NVIDIA expects a mixture of artificial intelligence and robots, and enables artificial intelligence to create imagination at a social media pace.
On Monday. The CEO and co -founder Ann Wagiki stepped down after several attempts in the acquisition. Once its value is $ 5.8 billion in 2021, the company’s financial failure is the final for a long decline.

Reports of my colleague Julia Collewi:
23ndme said late on Sunday that it started the voluntary semester 11 procedures in the American Banking Court of Missouri to “facilitating a sale to increase the value of its business.”
The losses company, which provides salivary test groups for customers to help them track their grandparents, added that it is working as usual throughout the sale. “There are no changes to the way the company is stored, managed, or protects the customer’s data,” he said.
I understand the desire to assert customers that there is no “change” in work as usual in 23andme, but the company’s statement has an unfortunate impact. In late 2023, the company revealed that infiltrators had been able to access the personal data of 7 million customers, including their gene. After a long period of incursion, infiltrators offered the sale of names, addresses and genetic heritage who belong to a million 23ndme customers with the Jewish heritage in Ashkenazi in a dark dark web forum. Although the hack not only targeted Jewish customers, the proposed sale gave a dark example of what Net’s wicked residents could do with 23ndme customer information.
One of the participants, 23andme, a man in Florida, discovered the Jewish heritage in Ashkenazi in his testing, the imbalance in the comparison: “I did not know that my family was going to become a goal. Maybe I had put my family while I was in danger of something I did out of curiosity more than anything else.”
The question of the suitability of 23andme is what will happen to study the genetic data collected by 23andme in its years of gathering spit in the tubes.
The final promise of 23andme – personal medicine assigned on the basis of your unique genetic code – has not yet been achieved. Meanwhile, knowing the exact collapse of your genetic origin is more modern than medical necessity, not a good work. Sometimes, the test only reveals that you are a British, who left at least one guardian who is not surrounded, and you find yourself gave your DNA away.
The question of the suitability of 23andme is what will happen to study the genetic data collected by 23andme in its years of gathering spit in the tubes. During the weekend, the California Public Prosecutor, Rob Punta, urged the company’s users to “delete your data and destroy any samples of the genetic materials that the company maintains,” as well as their right under the state law.

Science fiction things
A series of developments in technology last week indicated that Nafi referred to the future like a hunting dog.
NVIDIA hosted the developer conference in San Jose, California, announcing new and more powerful chips that would provide a greater computing capacity for artificial intelligence. Acts of artificial intelligence, if the Chinese model Deepseek is a bell, learns to maximize the results that it extracts from this computing power.
As in any good scientific film, a popular side character appeared at the conference. A stars -inspired robot named Blue Waddded on stage alongside Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, during the keynote speech to say hello. Disney has a partnership with NVIDIA to design and display the new robot, which carries his brain programs for modeling and processing its surround physics. NVIDIA also announced the AI dedicated to robots, which also takes its name from the Disney Franches, Groot N1.
Nvidia ads come at a time when artificial intelligence companies make many of their public invasions in agents, which can take tasks for you. In early reviews, these products Not very proficient yet.
But the excitement in the emergence of artificial general intelligence (AGI) grows, and real preparations occur. More and more people who are not executive managers of AI expect this powerful and multi -use technology. He gave the best adviser of artificial intelligence to Jo Biden, Ben Bokanan interview At the beginning of this month, on how the United States plans to reach a wide range of AGI under previous administration. Soon after, the Times Tech writer wrote about the reason It came to believe the noise AGI.
Amnesty International, which has the AGI capabilities that have been connected to a robot -child, this is a good -intentioned human being, a possibility that has become easier to imagine even without the help of Isaac Asimov.

New entertainment: Using artificial intelligence to clarify the short imagination on Instagram
This week on my iPhone, I scroll via videos @Holyfool36 On Instagram.
He was created by a 26 -year -old young man from Long Island named Dylan (refusing to give his last name), which publishes the charming videos and reactionary and frightening spirit every day. It is usually 90 seconds. Dylan said it was an inspiration to create videos from Dark Fantasy (Clark Ashton Smith), Den Range and other Dark Souls games, and analog videos on YouTube. Away from male intelligence, videos provide smart stories of ridiculous and convincing stories in the form of mysterious instructions. Human touch is clear, although artificial intelligence is a means of production. I enjoy them.
He said: “I write myself because I was born with colleges to do this. I use artificial intelligence to make images because I do not have these colleges. It is a way to finish.”
The account has collected more than half a million followers since its launch in the first half of 2024. it earns money through Tiktok ads and Merch sales, according to Dylan, but he kept his full -time job in technology.
“I moved from amateurs to specialized celebrities on the Internet!” He commented. His fiancée started the technical organization of Amnesty International as well.
Dylan’s creative process includes multiple tools of artificial intelligence. Dall-I is required to create the first draft of the image in his head and then run the result during Midjourney to give it a retro video game. If the story he writes requires animation, it uses Kling, although most Holy Fool videos consist of binding images of fixed images. All of its articles are characterized by the same background music, a simple electronic compilation composition, and the same narrative sound, which he created and customized with eleven.
Artists across the United States and the United Kingdom spoke to hundreds against the use of artificial intelligence in the arts and what they see as the theft of technology giants roaming in the intellectual property law. Their point of view is a fair one. Only last week, Atlantic Ocean Create a way for authors to search in Libgen, a database for pirated books, for their work. Many found their books there. It is claimed that Meta employees have downloaded the database from file sharing networks from counterpart to analogy, which is currently issue in a copyright lawsuit against the company on how to create AI Model Lama, specifically if Chatbot is trained in copyrights. The messages between the Meta employees that were revealed in Discovery about downloading a cursed database. The employees said that the work of the authors involved in the copyright will be very expensive and slow, so they have turned into more mysterious means to reach the amounts of mammoths of the texts and received the approval of Mark Zuckerberg’s personal to do so, according to the court documents. Meta is 1.51 Treen, and Mark Zuckerberg’s personal weight is $ 202 billion.
However, none of these artists and authors do what holy deception. Nothing fills a fictional world with short -shape daily videos. Why are they? To quickly create a content that the Instagram extract without artificial intelligence will be full -time important. For many influencers, they are, but video creators use their own faces and make videos about their real lives. It is unlikely to give the fictional videos that it transmits quickly and publish them for free, and it is worth investing. All it means – it seems that there is no lost work in creating these types of videos, and there is no artist who will get his livelihood but was replaced by AI. The creation of new types of serial imagination seems to be a positive use of Amnesty International for me.
