To sleep, perchance to dream — Michael and Michael start off this week’s episode with an AI mashup of art and photography that is reminiscent of the MIT Technology Review article from 2019, where in the Deep Dream Generator, artificial intelligence tools are used to interpret a photo in a unique way. Definitely worth a look at the link from the show notes in order to understand and see for yourself!
A first for the United States FDA this week is the EndeavorRx, a prescription-only game-based device for pediatric patients with ADHD, designed to require the patient to focus on multiple tasks at the same time.
In the space of Covid-19 and IoT security & privacy, there are several stories related to contact tracing, how consumer devices share information, how lightbulbs can serve as microphones and Oura rings as proximity warning detectors.
