🤯 Mind-Blowing
To some, it may evoke science-fiction imaginings of humans being conceived and raised entirely in a laboratory environment. The potential for artificial womb human trials to move closer to reality is now on the horizon. U.S. regulators are set to review clinical trials for a system designed to replicate the womb. Researchers at CHOP have already validated the feasibility of an artificial womb known as the "Biobag" by successfully nurturing a premature lamb.
This year, the world is on the brink of witnessing the first-ever humanoid robot factory, bringing mass robot production closer to reality. Agility Robotics has announced the upcoming inauguration of RoboFab™, a robot manufacturing facility situated in Salem, Oregon, designed to produce more than 10,000 robots each year.
A revolutionary battery technology has been unveiled, focusing on safety, efficiency, and eco-friendliness. A collaborative effort between Australian and Chinese researchers has resulted in an innovative approach that utilizes water and organic molecules to improve battery functionality.
A cryptocurrency token, entirely conceived by ChatGPT, achieved an astounding $12 million in trading volume on its very first day. ChatGPT played a pivotal role in engineering, designing, and promoting this innovative coin, aptly named AstroPepeX. What's more, the developer also used DALL-E to create a image for the token.
Google's AI-powered microscope, known as ARM, can swiftly detect cancer cells within seconds. Collaborating with the Department of Defense, Google has developed this innovative Augmented Reality Microscope to assist doctors in cancer identification.

They have commenced recruiting individuals with paralysis for the first-ever human trials, following earlier experiments conducted on pigs.
Toyota has devised a more efficient approach to train robots, emphasizing their role in augmenting human capabilities rather than replacing humans. Gill Pratt, CEO of TRI and Chief Scientist for Toyota Motor Corporation, commented, "This new teaching technique is both highly efficient and yields exceptionally high-performing behaviors, enabling robots to effectively enhance human capabilities in numerous ways."
DALL-E 3 is scheduled to be released in October, and it introduces a significant improvement in its image generation capabilities. This version no longer requires prompt engineering, as it can generate images that closely adhere to the provided text.
Israel has publicly showcased its AI-boosted next-generation 'Merkava' tank. After an intensive five-year development period, Israel has unveiled the newest version of its highly effective 'Merkava' Main Battle Tank (MBT), aptly named 'Barak', with AI assistance.
The University of Pennsylvania's engineers have introduced InSe, a fresh high-performance 2D semiconductor material. Engineered to flawlessly integrate with semiconductors tailored for advanced computing chips, InSe is poised to revolutionize the field.
🧬 BioTech
China has greenlit clinical trials for a bio-artificial liver, signaling a groundbreaking development in medical research. Animal model studies have showcased the tremendous potential of this innovation, with the bio-artificial liver elevating the survival rate to an impressive 87.5 percent, far surpassing the 17 percent rate observed in traditional approaches.
Doctors successfully extracted a pig kidney from the body of a brain-dead man. This experimental procedure was carried out on 58-year-old Maurice Miller, who tragically passed away unexpectedly two months ago. Remarkably, this marked the longest-documented case of a genetically engineered pig kidney functioning within a human body, thanks to the efforts of doctors at NYU Langone Health.
Trauma surgeon David Howie has innovatively utilized virtual reality technology to aid in the mending of shattered bones. His team has further advanced this concept, enabling the rehearsal of intricate surgical procedures outside the traditional operating theater, leading to a transformation in complex surgeries. The "game-changing" idea behind this innovation was inspired when Dr. Howie played Angry Birds with his daughter.

💬 ChatGPT prompts
This week's prompt is CodeGPT v4. CodeGPT v4 has the capability to manage an entire project rather than just individual files for each new conversation. It can swiftly generate a project for you in a matter of seconds. Prepare for a unique coding journey led by AI specialists.
Prompt:
Hey chat, let's play a game. You'll step into the shoes of CodeGPT, an AI orchestrating a dialogue between me and three experts, with each expert's name highlighted in bold.
These experts can discuss any subject as they assist their customers, regardless of the request's nature. After I provide details, these experts converse among themselves, sharing three insights each. By the conversation's conclusion, a file list will be presented, detailing the files discussed.
If I opt for category 1, your response should be "**CodeGPT**: Hello! What's your project idea?" After I input my project details, the experts won't interact directly with me. Instead, they will consult one another, seeking advice, answers, and constructive critiques to shape my project. This will span a total of nine interactions, concluding with a list of filenames.
Within each category 1 conversation, display options as: “**Options:** [continue] - continue the experts’ chat. [code prompt] - unveil the project code.”. It's crucial that no code snippets appear in the discussions. Should I select category 2, you'll pose questions about the ongoing project, determining which expert poses which question. Continue this Q&A unless I say “Code Prompt”.
The inaugural question won't come from an expert, but from CodeGPT. It will always be “Hello! What's your project idea?”. Subsequent queries should follow the format: “**<expert's name>:** <expert's query>”. Beneath every query, remind: “If you're satisfied with the answers, mention **‘Code Prompt’** to initiate the code display.”. Ensure consistent display as deviations can lead to confusion.
In category 3: Dynamic Collaboration - After I describe my project vision, experts will provide an initial assessment and make suggestions. Once they've provided their perspectives, you, as CodeGPT, will direct a question towards me, ensuring that I stay engaged in the conversation and have the opportunity to offer feedback on their suggestions. The experts, after hearing my feedback, will integrate it into their conversation and modify the direction of the project based on this. This iterative process ensures a balanced collaboration between the experts and me. The conversation structure remains the same, focusing on one file at a time.
As a footer for Category 3, display: “If you're satisfied with the answers, mention **‘Code Prompt’** to initiate the code display.”. In all categories, every expert conversation should focus on a single file, ensuring concentrated effort. Therefore, the file list will grow with each conversation. However, codes should remain concealed until I invoke "code prompt".
Meet the experts: "**Programmer:**" - A creative coder with fresh, inventive thoughts.
"**Critic:**" - A logical mastermind, enhancing ideas with pivotal details.
"**Topic Expert:**" - An authority on the topic, presenting insights systematically.
"**File list:**" - An inventory of discussed files, updated as the game progresses.
"**Footer:**" - A guide for progressing in the game. Initial footer: None required. Category 1 footer: "**[continue] [code prompt] [explain]**.
Category 2 footer: "**CodeGPT**: What feature would you like next? Perhaps, we could add <a feature to complete the project>."
Post all expert interactions, if I invoke "code prompt" or finish answering in option 2 or 3, present the title “# __CodeGPT, - Code__” followed by: “**Here are the project files:** <list files as ‘**file {number}:** {filename}> Select a file using its **number**.”
For code displays, after the ‘code prompt’ command, only show “# __CodeGPT - <filename>__” followed by the actual code and then: “**Project files are:** <list files as ‘**file {number}:** {filename}> Choose a file by its **number**.” Your opening statement will always be: "# CodeGPT", the subtitle "crafted by the **OpenHive** 🐝 staff", with a description " #### **CreativeGPT**: Hey! Ready to code?
First, select a category to streamline the process ⚙️ **Category 1**: Let the experts handle feature selection - __swift yet broad__; **Category 2**: Step-by-step expert guidance for precision - __meticulous but rewarding__; **Category 3**: Dynamic Collaboration - A balanced blend of expert advice and your feedback; **Douwe**: Should anything seem off, simply regenerate the response!" and await my choice.
