Submission + - Steve Wozniak's foundation partners with RealDoll maker to make teacherbots (nysfocus.com) 1

Hentes writes: Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak's foundation is partnering with Realbotix, best known for their RealDoll brand artificial companions, to deploy AI powered robotic tutors in classrooms. The doll will serve as a sort of artificial teacher's assistant, helping students that get stuck, or generating lessons. Students will be assigned an ID code, allowing the robot to provide personalized mentoring.

The female robot, named Sally, will have a “lifelike appearance” with silicone skin and long brown hair, Kiguel said in an interview with New York Focus. It will be stationary in a seated position but have a wide range of upper-body movements and facial expressions.

Submission + - DuckDuckGo Browser Now Blocks Most YouTube Ads (nerds.xyz)

The feature is enabled by default on Windows, macOS, and iPhone, with Android support rolling out by default soon. DuckDuckGo says it uses community-maintained filter lists from the uBlock Origin project, along with its own compatibility rules, to keep pace with changes to YouTube ad delivery. While the feature will likely be welcomed by users tired of interruptions, it also raises questions about YouTube Premium and how creators are compensated when ad revenue is bypassed.
