Recently, researchers at UC San Diego conducted an experiment to determine if Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 could pass as humans in conversations. This experiment was inspired by the Turing test, a method used to evaluate the human-like intelligence of machines. The initial study revealed that GPT-4 could convincingly pass as human in

Elon Musk’s compensation package at Tesla has been a topic of controversy for quite some time. In April of this year, Tesla shareholders voted in favor of restoring Musk’s 10-year pay plan, valued at an astounding $44.9 billion. This package, which was approved by the board and shareholders in 2018, is based on Musk meeting
Generative AI is revolutionizing the field of artificial intelligence by breaking free from predetermined rules and patterns. Unlike its traditional counterparts, generative AI has the ability to produce novel content such as text, video, images, and music. This marks a significant shift in AI capabilities, enabling it to think outside the box and create new
Artificial intelligence (AI) tools have made significant strides in recent years, particularly in the fields of natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision algorithms. The rapid improvement in the performance of large computational models can be attributed to the exponential growth of datasets used to train these algorithms. These datasets, often consisting of hundreds of
Meta, formerly known as Facebook, has decided to put a hold on its plans to use personal data for training its artificial intelligence technology in Europe. This decision came after facing privacy complaints from a privacy campaign group based in Vienna, which filed complaints in 11 European countries against Meta. The group, known as the
Addressing the critical issue of greenhouse gas emissions, researchers have developed groundbreaking reactors that focus on mineralizing carbon dioxide using fly ash particles. This innovative technique not only provides a sustainable solution to the problem of emissions but also repurposes an industrial by-product in the process. With the rise of industrialization comes a surge in
A group of workers who were fired by SpaceX recently filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk, alleging that the company has a sexist and discriminatory culture. The workers claim that Musk fostered a “Dark Ages” environment at SpaceX, where women were treated as sexual objects and subjected to lewd sexual banter. The civil complaint, filed
The International Energy Agency has recently released a report predicting a major surplus of oil by the year 2030. This surplus is expected to be a remarkable eight million barrels per day, creating challenges for oil markets and industry players globally. The report suggests that the increase in production coupled with a slowdown in global
When faced with challenges, we often seek complex solutions to address them. However, a recent study conducted by a research team at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) sheds light on the effectiveness of a simpler approach to solving complex issues. The team, led by Professor Byoungwoo Kang and Dr. Abin Kim from the
The recent research on improving the production of plutonium-238 (238Pu) through high-resolution neutronics modeling has the potential to revolutionize various technological fields. The new model developed by a team of nuclear scientists from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the Nuclear Power Institute of China has shown a significant increase in yield by close to 20%
