Here's a very good explanation of the "what", the 'fun', and the 'furor' surrounding, the Bard and ChatGPT "AI chatbots": ChatGPT Is a Blurry JPEG of the Web wrote: OpenAI’s chatbot offers paraphrases, whereas Google offers quotes. Which do we prefer? That article itself is a beautiful example of exactly what those supposed "AI" chatbots simply cannot do at present. Roll onwards the development of the GPT-4 model?...

The inside story of how ChatGPT was built from the people who made it. Exclusive conversations that take us behind the scenes of a cultural phenomenon. To get the inside story behind the chatbot—how it was made, how OpenAI has been updating it since release, and how its makers feel about its success—I talked to four people who helped build what has become one of the most popular internet apps ever. In addition to Agarwal and Fedus, I spoke to John Schulman, a cofounder of OpenAI, and Jan Leike, the leader of OpenAI’s alignment team, which works on the problem of making AI do what its users want it to do (and nothing more). |

Robot lawyer' that never got court day sued for practicing without license A company that was foiled by "threats from State Bar prosecutors" for its plans to use an artificial intelligence chatbot to advise a defendant in traffic court earlier this year is being sued by a top class-action firm that says the company is practicing law without a license.. |

I'm struggling to reconcile these two news stories. Tiny data centre used to heat public swimming pool Rishi Sunak has electricity grid upgraded to heat his private pool How can "a washing-machine-sized data centre" handle £100,000 worth of electricity, even at current prices? Or do a job that requires "a substantial amount of equipment and a new connection to the National Grid"? Given the high thermal capacity of water, what temperature does that washing machine have to run at? Or has someone found a way of breaking the laws of thermodynamics? |

... How can "a washing-machine-sized data centre" handle £100,000 worth of electricity, even at current prices? Or do a job that requires "a substantial amount of equipment and a new connection to the National Grid"?... There's a good informative take on that story over on The Register: Cloud upstart offers free heat if you host its edge servers wrote: ... The technology has already been deployed at Exmouth Leisure Centre in south west England, where the waste heat from a dozen servers is being used to warm the swimming pool. This is expected to reduce the pool's energy requirements by 62 percent, saving them over £20,000 ($24,334) a year and also reducing their carbon dioxide emissions, we're told. Very good and useful if you have a secure business location and the necessary electricity supply. Happy cool crunchin'!

No surprise... HP outrages printer users with firmware update suddenly bricking third-party ink wrote: ... "HP have updated their printers to outright ban ‘non-HP’ ink! They no longer shows the 'can’t guarantee quality' message, but instead cancels your print completely until you inset a HP ink cartridge,"... I wonder... Is that why I do not recommend any "ink-jet" printers, and why simply I just do not touch the things! IT is what we allow it to be...

Might that be why foreign USB devices are supposedly banned in all tech-savvy workplaces? ... And why sometimes all the USB ports on equipment/PCs are disabled with epoxy resin?... Except... How many people know the unfixable security perils of USB?... Is that why the USA and UK nuclear deterrents are protected by 8" floppy disks?... Stay safe folks!!!

Twittered? Elon Musk: What it's like to interview the billionaire Twitter boss wrote: ... On Tuesday lunchtime I typed an email, requesting a chat about his first six months as Twitter boss. To my surprise, he responded. So: Spontaneous? Brash? Rash? Eccentrically brilliant? Or all just part of being enterprising?
