🤖MAIN UPDATES

👾 The genius "vampire drone"

What’s going on?

Battery life wouldn’t be a problem for drones if they could recharge on power lines whenever needed. That’s exactly what a new experimental quadcopter can now do, letting it stay in the air pretty much forever.

Developed by scientists at the University of Southern Denmark, this tech could power drones for various tasks.

How it works:

When the drone’s battery is low, it uses its camera and radar to find the nearest power line. It flies up, grabs the line with its gripper, and recharges using elastomer ribbons and rubber sides without needing electricity.

Why it matters:

These drones are becoming fully autonomous, needing no human help.

Looking ahead, with hundreds of AI-run drones in the sky, the potential for surveillance, privacy invasion, and misuse increases. And even if we hit pause, there’s no sign that governments and militaries will follow suit.

💻 AMD amps up AI PCs with next-gen laptop chips

What’s going on?

AMD just unveiled its latest AI PC chips, featuring a powerful new neural processing unit (NPU) in their Ryzen AI processors.

This NPU handles AI tasks faster and more efficiently than traditional CPUs or GPUs.

How fast is fast?

Thanks to the new XDNA 2 architecture, these chips smash out 50 trillion operations per second (TOPS)—leaving Intel, Apple, and Qualcomm in the dust.

AMD is hyping these new AI-focused PC chips as game-changers for collaboration, content creation, personal assistance, and gaming.

Why does it matter?

This means AMD-powered PCs will run advanced AI models and apps locally, without relying on the cloud.

Users will enjoy AI-enhanced PCs with better privacy and lower latency, while AMD strengthens its position in the AI PC market.
