Just for the record this is a stupid headline. The robots are carrying out automated steps moving samples around and using vision to apply tools. They don't "know" what they are doing and certainly have no conception(!) of what a baby, human, or conception are. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
Robots are learning to make human babies. Twenty have already been born.
One in six people of reproductive age suffer from infertility. Start-ups are using AI-powered robots to increase IVF success rates and lower costs.

The year is 2025, Google has finally found a use-case for AI: to compete with Chegg and Cliff’s Notes
So, uh... I just did a Google search which was not about homework... because I haven't been in school in decades, and I got this pop up from Google. And, like, I actually think there are ways to use AI in school properly, but this kind of advertising from Google seems... super sketchy.

Two of the 200+ awesome delivery robots that drove around ribotics lab the past 2 days! Made by our year 2 TU Delft BSc Mechanical Engineering students who knew nothing about robotics, ROS & electronics 2 weeks ago! I kept the batmobile for my office. #AcademicSky #Engineering #engineeringeducation

Today in our AI future: someone on LinkedIn posted that humans have the same biases as AI (and tagged me since my 2017 paper showed this), and the Berlin newspaper complained because google maps hadn’t reflected the surprise transit strike.

Which is also why twitter and @archive.org are under attack (twitter is even occupied). And google? At least @wikimedia.bsky.social is in Berlin. I wish more of these resources were not physically dependent on US servers.
