An AI humanoid robot called Figure 01 has learned to make coffee, serve food and even chat with you.

It was said that Figure 01 learned his skills just by looking at a human.

The self-correcting humanoid watched images of a human performing simple tasks.

His skills were showcased in a promotional video released by robotics company Figure.

The clip was posted on X and explains a bit more about the AI machine.

“With OpenAI, Figure 01 can now have full conversations with people,” the post said.

“OpenAI models provide high-level visual and language intelligence.

“Figure neural networks deliver fast, agile, low-level robotic actions,” the report continued.

It was then explained that everything the robot can do in the video is thanks to a neural network.

A neural network is an AI method that trains a computer to process information in a similar way to the human brain.

The robot even demonstrated its voice in the video.

However, not all viewers were impressed with the accent.

“I love this! But why did you give it the voice of a 50-year-old smoker?” one person joked.

“Why does it stutter while talking?” said another.

The robot that serves food and has a conversation is somewhat of a breakthrough for the company.

It’s impressive technology that other humanoid researchers are working on.

According to Live Science, Figure 01 shows two developments in robotics.

The first is that the robot is agile and can handle objects like a human.

Second, the video suggests that the robot is capable of natural language processing.

A Norwegian official combated plagiarism. Then she was caught copying.

As Norway's Minister of Higher Education, Sandra Borch was responsible for ensuring that students adhered to the rules. When one of those students was acquitted of plagiarism, Ms. Borch appealed and took the case to the country's Supreme Court.

So it shocked the country when Ms Borch was forced to resign just a few days later after it emerged that parts of her master's thesis appeared identical to other reports she had not referenced.

“When I wrote my master's thesis about ten years ago, I made a big mistake,” Ms. Borch said at a press conference on Friday as she resigned. “I copied text from other assignments without citing the source.”

The person who exposed Ms. Borch's misdeeds was Kristoffer Rytterager, a 27-year-old student in Oslo, who said he became “a bit angry” because the minister went after an individual student over what he saw as a minor mistake and decided to look at the minister's own scientific work.

“When you act like you're holier than a saint,” Mr. Rytterager said in an interview. “You can't have skeletons in the closet.”

The case that angered him involved a student who had handed in an exam with some excerpts from a test she had turned in last year – and failed. The student was suspended for two semesters in 2022 and her lawyer said the case had devastated her psychologically. More than a hundred professors and other academics signed a petition objecting to her treatment.

A court ultimately acquitted the student, but the Ministry of Research and Higher Education, led by Ms Borch, appealed the decision, arguing that it raised a number of issues that the Supreme Court should clarify. The Supreme Court has not yet ruled.

“It is important for all students, universities and colleges in Norway that the rules on cheating, and their enforcement, are easy to understand,” the ministry said in a statement. statement to the Norwegian newspaper Khrono at the time.

The government has proposed doubling the penalty for cheating and plagiarism, from a two-semester suspension to four, in a bill expected to be introduced in parliament later this year.

Mr. Rytterager said he was inspired by accusations of plagiarism against Claudine Gay, the former president of Harvard, to check Ms. Borch's work. Ms. Gay resigned earlier this month after her presidency was engulfed by accusations and accusations from some that her response to anti-Semitism on campus following the Hamas-led attacks on Israel was inadequate.

When Mr. Rytterager searched on Google, he found that parts of Ms. Borch's 2014 law thesis were virtually identical to a government report that she had not referenced. After he his discoveries on Xthe Norwegian newspaper E24 has published an article on plagiarism. The thesis – on the regulation of oil extraction in Norway – even contained the same typographical errors as in a 2005 text, E24 reported.

The reports also prompted intense scrutiny of the academic work of other lawmakers, and reporters found that parts of the health minister's statement resembled other texts. The minister, Ingvild Kjerkol, acknowledged that some references were missing, but she denied that there was any deliberate copying. Still, some academics called for her resignation.

Some politicians criticized what they saw as a media witch hunt against the work of 25-year-olds who later became politicians.

“Are the statements of newspaper editors also checked?” Kristin Clemet, former Minister of Education, wrote on X.

Mr Rytterager, who, when not studying, drives a tractor and listens to audiobooks on his mother's farm north of Oslo, said the case revealed something his work in farming had already taught him.

“On a farm you have to do your own work,” he said. “You can't steal that from other people.”

So who is copying whom? Princess Kate and Denmark’s new Queen Mary are both ordinary people who married heirs to the throne… Now style enthusiasts are asking questions about their intriguing fashion similarities

Sabir Ansary — Wed, 03 Jan 2024 00:13:12 +0000

When Danish Queen Margrethe II announced she would abdicate on January 14, it was the country’s first abdication in 500 years.

It also marked a joint step to protect the Danish monarchy. By promoting her son, Crown Prince Frederik, the Queen hopes to strengthen not only the Crown but also, crucially, the marriage of Frederik and Crown Princess Mary, which was recently rocked by allegations about Frederik’s close ties to a Mexican socialite .

Often called the Danish royal family’s “greatest asset,” Mary, a 51-year-old Australian, is loved by her queen and her adopted country, where her cheerful attitude, tireless work ethic and impeccable style have earned her endless praise.

It reminds us all quite a bit of another princess: our own Princess of Wales. Like Mary, Kate is a “common man” who married an heir to the throne. Like Mary, Kate transitioned into her role as royal wife and mother with grace and dedication.

Suits you: Mary (left) in teal Massimo Dutti in 2022 and Kate in Burberry in 2023

Pastel princess: Mary in 2015 and Kate in 2018, both wearing an Emilia Wickstead dress now called ‘The Kate’

Copycats: Mary wears a £572 dress from British brand Beulah in 2019, while Kate wears the same design in July 2020

But these parallels are not nearly as striking as those between their wardrobes. They may live 800 miles apart, but their styles are so similar that it’s tempting to imagine them sharing a closet. Even the late Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld once called them “royal sisters.”

At 41, Kate may be ten years younger than Mary, but both women are brunettes and have slim, athletic builds to match similar colors, prints and styles. Just how similar it is is nothing short of incredible.

Of the millions of dresses in the world, it seems amazing that they choose identical dresses for so many occasions. During a visit to Norfolk in 2020, Kate wore the same £572 blue dress from British brand Beulah that Mary had worn in Indonesia a year earlier.

Then, in June 2021, Kate wore a £720 pale pink button-down dress from Beulah to Wimbledon, following Mary, who had worn the same design in cream to open an art exhibition last year.

Pale and interesting: Mary in Beulah in 2020 and Kate in a pink version of the same outfit in 2023

Two Graces: Mary wears a Jesper Hovring lace dress in 2022, following Kate in 2019, when she wore a £4,000 guipure lace Alexander McQueen dress

Shades of Grey: Mary in 2019 and Kate, wearing a Cefinn tank top by Samantha Cameron, in 2023

These are not the only cases of twinning. In 2018, Kate wore a £1,350 lilac Emilia Wickstead dress to a mental health summit in London, three years after Mary wore the blue version in Japan.

While Mary may have worn this style first, Kate has it in cobalt, olive green and teal, and Wickstead has now named her design ‘The Kate’ in her honour.

If Mary has noticed these stylistic dupes, she hasn’t let them affect her easy camaraderie with Kate, as was evident when the latter visited Copenhagen in February 2022. Both women seemed as eager to share a joke as they were to share a love for drop earrings. .

Team Tartan: Mary in 2019 and Kate last year

Red stars: Mary in a dress she first wore in 2019 and Kate in Alexander McQueen in 2023

If the cap fits: Mary in Under Armor in 2018 and Kate’s equally sporty look in 2022

Rather than deliberately copying, it’s more likely that the two women are aware of which outfits work well in their public roles, favoring slim-fit tailoring and bold prints.

Like tartan: when Kate visited Liverpool with Prince William in January 2023, she wore a tartan coat from Holland Cooper that was reminiscent of Mary’s Baum und Pferdgarten coat, worn in 2019.

The two princesses also own a black lace dress: Mary’s Jesper Hovring (£1,000) and Kate’s Alexander McQueen (£4,000) are examples.

As for what 2024 will bring them, one thing is certain: both will set the standard for what a queen should look like in the 21st century.

How Strictly’s Bobby Brazier is copying Rolling Stone idol Mick Jagger (and they even have the same snake hips and signature pout!)

He has the same snake hips, signature pout and dynamic stage presence.

No wonder there is now a clamor to cast Bobby Brazier as Mick Jagger in a biopic about the Rolling Stones legend.

Strictly fans have become obsessed with the uncanny resemblance between EastEnders star Brazier, 20, and Sir Mick at the same age.

TikTok users are sharing videos comparing the couple – and getting millions of views.

The similarity was first noticed during Brazier’s samba to Candi Staton’s Young Hearts Run Free, which he performed with his dance partner Dianne Buswell last month.

Groover: Bobby has even been told by the strict jury that his snake-like hips make him a mini-Mick Jagger

One social media user wrote: ‘Bobby Brazier must be a young Mick Jagger! Those hips! Those lips!’

A second viewer said: ‘Watching Strictly and if someone doesn’t cast Bobby Brazier as Mick Jagger soon they’re missing a trick.’

Meanwhile, another fan wrote: ‘I’m calling it now. Bobby Brazier will play Mick Jagger in a Stones biopic for the next five years. Someone write it.’

During last week’s Halloween episode of Strictly, 20-year-old Brazier’s hips took center stage again as he performed the cha-cha-cha to Rosemary Clooney’s Come On-A My House.

Fans were so impressed by the actor’s resemblance to Jagger that they even said they thought Brazier – son of late reality star Jade Goody and television host Jeff Brazier – was one of Jagger’s children.

Brazier, a former model before being picked by EastEnders last year to play Freddie Slater, is also regularly seen wearing blazers, flat caps and scarves – just as Sir Mick, 80, did in his younger years.

I’ve got the moves! TikTok users have shared videos comparing the pair which have received millions of views (pictured Bobby with Dianne Buswell on Strictly, Mick with Tina at Live Aid in 1985)

Tipped for Hollywood: Meanwhile, another fan wrote: ‘Call it now. Bobby Brazier will play Mick Jagger in a Stones biopic for the next five years. Let someone write it

Inspiration: Brazier is also regularly seen wearing blazers, flat caps and scarves – just like Sir Mick, 80, did in his younger years

Rock ‘n’ roll legend: Sir Mick photographed a Hyde Park gig with the Rolling Stones last year

It was after Bobby joined EastEnders last year in the role of Freddie Slater – which had an immediate impact on the ratings – and subsequently won a National Television Award for Best Newcomer, that BBC chiefs decided to sign him up for Strictly.

“Everyone loves him – young people, old people, boys, girls, women and men,” a source told Mail On Sunday.

‘There are big plans for him. He has the ability to act, but also to participate in digital content, which appeals to the youth. He’s become a star on EastEnders and if the bosses have their way he won’t be going anywhere for a very long time.’

Within the BBC, Brazier is credited as the reason why hundreds of thousands of teenagers now tune in to EastEnders, where his character is a cheeky charmer just like himself.
