This is a collection of peer reviewed studies of technologies that likely have a lot to do with the common sensation of feeling watched or monitored. Human Body Communication technology, nano drive. Remote body monitoring and manipulation, and innovations to induction of medicinal biochemical processes in the body.
As we explore the future of technology and humanity, the development of AI that understands human emotions is a groundbreaking step. This isn't just about smarter machines, but about creating connections that feel more human. A great example of this innovative direction is seen at sensay.io, where the focus is on making AI interact with us not just intelligently, but with empathy and understanding. It's a fascinating glimpse into how technology can enhance our emotional world, promising a future where AI supports not just our tasks, but our feelings too.
Bacteria can create something similar to memories, which indicate when to cause dangerous infections in people, when to form bacterial swarms, or when millions of bacteria come together on a single surface.
This remarkable discovery by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin (UT) has potential applications for preventing and combatting bacterial infections and addressing antibiotic-resistant bacteria, say the researchers.

Would it be possible one day to create a supercomputer capable of emulating networks at the scale of the human brain?
Yes. It’s called Deep South. And researchers from the International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems (ICNS) at Western Sydney University plan to have it operational by April 2024, they announced at this week’s 2023 ICNS NeuroEng Workshop.

If they are going to keep pushing technology to the limit, why even stop at ASI? You would think it would occur to some company to create a humanoid android that could do jobs like construction, basically like Star Trek. You could also potentially upload the ASI onto the android. Of course the costs for purchasing a unit would be astronomical at first, but you could have them work around the clock non-stop without any pay or benefits.
