Quanta X Technology LLC is at the forefront of non-pharmaceutical technology-based pandemic countermeasures, pioneering a world-leadership position in this field. Their groundbreaking AP-UVGI (Active Personnel Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation) technology uses human-safe solar blind Far-UVC light to create safer spaces. This futuristic approach is backed up by studies showing that EMR at wavelengths between 207nm and 222nm won’t harm eyes or skin at effective germicidal doses, and is even more effective than conventional UVC for removing air-borne pathogens. In addition, Quanta X Technology is revolutionizing germicidal light-based communications by producing solid state Far-UV wave emitters, enabling the world’s IoT to work off quantum ready Far-UV germicidal communications technology for all close proximity data transmission in occupied spaces. UVGi-Fi is the ultimate end-game for pandemic countermeasures. With this technology Quanta X Technology is putting citizens first in biodefense tech, creating Quanta Munitions for Bio-Agent Defense.

Is it time to buy bitcoin? Bitcoin has just experienced the mother of all golden crosses – a rare event that has occurred only four times in BTC history. Each of these runs reached all-time highs, making it a crucial milestone for the cryptocurrency. Currently, Bitcoin is facing a battle between a golden cross and a death cross, with its price at stake.
Breaking news: Bitcoin has just had its fifth-ever golden cross, and in this article, we will take a closer look at the previous four times this occurred. Analyzing these past trends can provide us with valuable insights into what we can expect from Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market.
However, it is important to note that this article is not investment advice. Always seek professional financial advice before making any investment decisions.
Elon Musk has announced his intention to create a chatbot called TruthGPT, which he describes as a “maximum truth-seeking AI”. Musk plans to counter the offerings from OpenAI and Google, and to create an AI that is more focused on “understanding the universe” than on manipulating public opinion or causing “civilizational destruction”. Musk has previously been critical of OpenAI, accusing them of training AI models to be politically correct and becoming “closed sourced”. He has also expressed concerns about the power of AI and the potential dangers it poses to humanity. While it’s not clear what Musk’s exact plans are for TruthGPT, he has recruited former DeepMind employee Igor Babuschkin to work on the project. As TechCrunch notes, Musk doesn’t need to create a cutting-edge product to make an impact, as he has billions of dollars at his disposal. It is also worth noting that TruthGPT may be a temporary project name, as OpenAI has applied for a trademark for the term “GPT”.
“Internet for All,” as the Biden administration put it, will soon be a reality if America keeps its priorities straight. During his State of the Union address, President Joe Biden set a high bar, “We’re going to buy American,” as the U.S. spends billions of dollars on new broadband connections. This is a smart strategy to create American jobs and boost the U.S. economy, but our leaders must not sacrifice speed in the race to close the digital divide in cases where “Buy American” isn’t yet a realistic option.
Under the $42.45 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program, for example, every participating state — as well as Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia — will receive a minimum of $100 million for internet infrastructure, with more to be doled out based on each state’s proportional number of unserved locations. Cartesian estimates that fiber providers will contribute another $22 billion in funds for $64 billion in total, which is “sufficient to achieve the program’s availability goal” of making broadband service “available to all eligible locations.” That’s a first.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), signed into law by President Biden on November 15, 2021, also included $14.2 billion for the Affordable Connectivity Program, which has helped over 17 million American families pay for a home broadband connection that they otherwise would struggle to afford. What’s more, the bill set aside $2.75 billion for Digital Equity programs; $2 billion for the Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program; $2 billion for the Rural Utilities Service Distance Learning, Telemedicine and Broadband Program; and $1 billion for a new Middle Mile grant program. This truly is broadband’s moment in the sun.
As airports brace for an expected surge in travelers this summer season, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is rolling out a new piece of technology aimed at making airport security checkpoints faster and more efficient. The updated ID scanner comes equipped with a biometric camera that uses facial recognition technology to verify passengers’ identities. Travelers need only insert their ID into the machine and look at the camera, and the self-service device matches their facial scan to the photo on their driver’s license or passport. If their identity is validated, they can proceed to the security checkpoint with minimal interaction with TSA agents. Although the system is voluntary, it has been designed to reduce touchpoints and save time for passengers. According to the TSA, the facial scans are only used to compare to travelers’ picture IDs and are not saved or used for any other purpose. The machines are also capable of reading various types of IDs, including permanent resident cards, military common access cards, and Global Entry cards.
Biofire, a Colorado startup, has created the first working biometric smart gun that uses facial and fingerprint recognition technology to ensure that only authorized users can fire it. The handgun has a small fingerprint sensor on the grip and a 3-D facial recognition sensor on the back. If someone who is authorized picks up the weapon, it lights green and turns on. Once they put it down, it turns off. If anyone else tries to fire the gun, it won’t work. Biofire’s founder and CEO, Kai Kloepfer, was inspired to create the innovative solution after a shooter killed 12 people at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. The company has already secured $30 million in venture capital funding, and is now accepting pre-orders.
Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has criticized Elon Musk’s leadership of Twitter, stating that Musk has not proved to be the platform’s ideal steward. Dorsey, who helped start potential Twitter rival Bluesky, expressed his disappointment in a series of reply posts on the platform. The remarks reflect a growing backlash against Musk’s tumultuous tenure, which has led to advertisers fleeing and users searching for alternatives. Dorsey added that he regretted selling Twitter to Musk, and suggested that Musk should have paid $1 billion to back out of the deal to acquire the social media platform. These criticisms represent a stark reversal from Dorsey’s strong endorsement of Musk’s takeover a year ago. Despite Musk’s recent appearance on “Real Time With Bill Maher” on HBO, he has not responded to Dorsey’s remarks. Musk took over Twitter in October after mounting a hostile takeover attempt in April, with the Twitter board accepting Musk’s buyout that would take the company private.
We had the opportunity to sit down with Blake Lemoine, the former Google engineer and AI ethicist who made headlines last summer for claiming that LaMDA, Google’s LLM, had come to life. Lemoine’s expertise in natural language processing and generation led him to the field of AI ethics, where he worked on internal projects at Google, including analyzing performance review data for gender bias. Although not directly involved in the LaMDA project, Lemoine consulted with the team on incorporating his algorithm for bias mitigation and later evaluated LaMDA for bias during a safety effort. With the recent release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, the AI industry has become a topic of public discourse, raising concerns about society’s readiness for the potential dangers of synthetic content-packed internet. Lemoine shares his insights on the state of the AI industry, Google’s capabilities, and the challenges society faces in preparing for the future of AI.
