Think, know, understand, remember. These are everyday words people use to describe what goes on in the human mind. But when those same terms are applied to artificial intelligence, they can unintentionally make machines seem more human than they really are. “We use mental verbs all the time in our daily lives, so it makes sense that we might also use them when we talk about machines — it helps us relate to them,” said Jo Mackiewicz, professor of English at Iowa State. “But at the same time, when we apply mental verbs to machines, there’s also a risk of…

In a recent episode of “No Priors” — the excellent podcast co-hosted by AI investors Sarah Guo and Elad Gil — Gil made a point about exit timing that’s undoubtedly familiar to founders who’ve spent time with him, but seems particularly useful in this moment of go-go dealmaking. For most companies, Gil said, there’s roughly a 12-month period where the business is at its peak value, “and then it crashes out” and the window closes.

Engineers at Northwestern University have created printed artificial neurons that go beyond imitation and can directly interact with real brain cells. These flexible, low-cost devices produce electrical signals that closely resemble those generated by living neurons, allowing them to activate biological brain tissue. In experiments using slices of mouse brain, the artificial neurons successfully triggered responses in real neurons. This result shows a new level of compatibility between electronic devices and living neural systems. Toward Brain Interfaces and Energy-Efficient AI This advance moves researchers closer to electronics that can directly interface with the nervous system. Potential uses include brain-machine interfaces…
Alvin Lang Apr 18, 2026 12:46 AUDIO’s violent bounce from $0.02 support sets up a clean run to $0.035 resistance within 10 days. The 41% intraday range signals accumulation, not distribution.
