Because Flock cameras are all the Big Brother rage these days, the folks at Youtube channel Donut (misnomer, no jelly-filled to be seen) went and wrapped a Toyota Yaris with an “adversarial noise” pattern in an attempt to make the vehicle undetectable by the AI-powered surveillance cameras (previously: doing the

Designed by digital artist Simon Weckert, Digital Camouflage is a shirt collection (designed as an art project, not a security product, but are available for $75 – $100) with patterns that confuse AI-powered human detection and tracking systems, helping the wearer go unnoticed.

Because soon robots will play all our sports for us, this is a video of Morpheus, a giant table tennis playing robot made by Omron that uses AI to actively analyze an opponent’s playstyle and adapts in real time in order to humiliate them. Nice try, robot, but I’m used

This is a video from Pittsburgh-based Skild AI demonstrating the AI brain they’ve developed (“Any robot. Any task. One brain.”), and how quickly it can adapt to a robot’s broken limbs or other decreased mobility. SPOILER: almost instantly. Me? I broke my pinky toe once and thought I was a
