YouTuber gets Google Assistant to trigger a gun, makes us ponder the dangers of AI

Image
In a world that's progressively ploarising into pro-AI and anti-AI netizens, a video dropped on YouTube by Alexander Reben last week has managed to send reactions of different kinds rippling through the vast internet. The thirty-second-long video shows an air gun mounted on a stand with a string attached to its trigger. The ends of the string are attached to a solenoid, which, in turn is connected to a switch that can be controlled by the Google Assistant. Within the gun's line of sight is an apple (read: a few centimetres away from the muzzle), also placed on a stand of equal height. So, when a voice commands, 'Activate Gun', the gun fires a pellet at the apple, knocking it down to the floor. Watchers of the video were seen reacting in either one of two ways: dismissing the stunt or making a fanciful story out of it. Some users of YouTube and Reddit commented that it was a cheap trick to name a switch 'Gun' and have Google Assistant activate it, while online m

Netflix redesigns Android apps video player to change UI for the better

Netflix users on Android are in for some better news today as the platform is rolling out a redesigned video player with added controls and improved navigation to switch between episodes. The update is rolling out to all Android users of the Netflix app currently, but the redesigned video player has not yet showed up for the iOS version of Netflix’s mobile app. So how has the player changed? Well, for starters, the revised video player has added three new buttons. The much needed 10-second forward and rewind buttons now show up when you tap the screen while watching a video on the app. This is not something we haven’t already seen on other video streaming platforms, but it’s a welcome update for Netflixers who have been asking for these buttons since a while.

First 3D-printed human corneas could aid transplants in the future

Image
In a first, British scientists have 3D printed human corneas that could cut down shortage of eye donors available for transplant. In the research, researchers from Britain's Newcastle University, mixed stem cells (human corneal stromal cells) from a healthy donor cornea with alginate and collagen to create a solution that could be printed or a "bio-ink". Using a simple low-cost 3D bio-printer, the bio-ink was successfully extruded in concentric circles to form the shape of a human cornea. It took less than 10 minutes to print. "Our unique gel -- a combination of alginate and collagen -- keeps the stem cells alive whilst producing a material which is stiff enough to hold its shape but soft enough to be squeezed out the nozzle of a 3D printer," said lead author Che Connon, a professor at the varisty. The results published in the journal, Experimental Eye Research, also stated that the stem cells could culture -- or grow. "...we have a ready to use bio-ink co

Samsungs Onyx Cinema LED Screen with HDR and DCI Certified 4K LED technology coming to PVR, INOX in India

Image
Samsung's 4K "Onyx Cinema LED" display for large screens, currently available only in a few countries across the world, is set to come to India later this year, a top company executive said on Wednesday. To begin with, PVR Cinemas and INOX Group would install 'Onyx Cinema LED' in the country. The Samsung screens would be installed at PVR multiplexes in Delhi and Mumbai.  "We first launched the screen in Korea, then we installed it in China, Europe, Thailand and the US. Once users watch content on 'Onyx' screen, it would be very difficult for them to switch to conventional projectors in theatres," Puneet Sethi, Vice President, Consumer Electronics Enterprise Business, Samsung India, told IANS here.
