Verse 22: History Revealing Itself
Hello there! Scorching, global drought has uncovered lost artifacts around the world including historic relics as water levels recede. These include; rare dinosaur tracks in Texas' Dinosaur Valley State Park, a Spanish 'Stonehenge' (from 5000 BC), over a dozen Nazi ships surfacing on the drying Danube River in Serbia, and a trio of 600 year old Buddhist statues on a formerly submerged island on China's Yangtze River. Then there’s Lake Mead, where officials have so far found five sets of human remains! Has anything interesting been revealed in your local reservoirs?
Among items of note in this issue of Verse; an AI model that detects Parkinson’s from breathing patterns, engineers present a new chip that ramps up AI computing efficiency and a humanoid robot gets an upgrade!

THE FUTURE OF DATA
Huge “foundation models” are turbo-charging AI progress.
There once was a widespread belief that adding parameters to models was reaching a point of diminishing returns. But models like BERT showed that the reverse was true. As models are given more data and more parameters, they become not just bigger but better. And, perhaps more importantly, they become capable of doing things their creators may not have imagined.
