  • Silicon Valley, CA artist Agnieszka Pilat is a highly respected painter who has taken on the very innovative task of teaching 3 Boston Dynamics robot dogs, named Bonnie, Basia & Spot, how to paint
  • They have learned so well, thanks to Pilat's programming of them, that their works are now on display in London at the National Gallery of Victoria
  • Pilat is a classically trained painter who specializes in painting technology with a human touch 
  • She believes that it's an artist's responsibility to engage with new technologies
  • She has methodically programmed the 3 robots to move across a canvas with paint brushes
  • They've created abstract works of art with eye-popping colors
  • The robotic artworks are fetching as much as $40,000 which was donated to a charity for Ukranian refugees
  • This is a very creative example of the seemingly unlimited things that robots can do with innovative programming.

  • Sony Honda Mobility is actively developing their 1st car for their Afeela EV brand, which they're calling an "intelligent entity"
  • The very stylish aerodynamic design is focused on driving dynamics & performance and, uniquely, software, networks & user experience
  • Some unique features we're learning about:

  1. Media band that shares information with people around the vehicle
  2. 85 cameras & sensors placed inside & outside the car
  3. 800 TOPS (Trillions or Tera operations per second) of maximum computing power
  4. Suites of next-G software including digital chassis & telematics solutions
  5. Level 3 autonomous driving

  • Development of the EV is "open & free" to include input from customers, creative professionals & partners from around the world
  • Vehicle is going into production and will be for sale in 2026
  • Sony & Honda say they're building the car on the 3A's of autonomy, augmentation & affinity
  • Car's interior will offer many new experiences "that go beyond what we thought time & space would be like"
  • This new autonomous, EV is shaping up to be a first-of-its-kind.

CLIMATE CHANGE TANKING WINES

  • Researchers in the UK are documenting how Climate Change and its warmer temperatures are profoundly changing the taste & the aroma of varieties of wines
  • The warmer temperatures are making wine sweeter with higher alcohol content & fewer floral & earthy flavors
  • It's also making expert wine tasting more difficult with the need to recognize the differences in wines made from grapes grown in different temperatures & new varieties of wine resulting from Climate Change
  • Experts forecast that dry wines from grapes in cooler areas will become increasingly rare
  • Another forecast:  higher temperatures are leading to a reduction of plant compounds in wine called tannins which is & will increasingly erode flavors
  • Wine favorites like pinot noir are going to be increasingly difficult to find
  • This is another important reason to fight Climate Change, before it decimates "Happy Hour".
