REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo The tech ethics group Center for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Policy is asking the US Federal Trade Commission to stop OpenAI from issuing new commercial releases of GPT-4 , which has wowed some users and caused distress for others with its quick and human-like responses to queries. In a complaint to the agency on Thursday, a summary of which is on the group's website, the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Policy called GPT-4 "biased, deceptive, and a risk to privacy and public safety." OpenAI, which is based in California and backed by Microsoft Corp., unveiled the fourth iteration of its GPT (Generative Pre-tr ai ned Transformer) AI program in early March, which has excited users by engaging them in human-like conversation, composing songs and summarizing lengthy documents.

Mathematicians create a non-repeating pattern from a new 13-sided polygon dubbed ‘the hat’
What just happened? A group of mathematicians created a "new" polygon previously known to exist only in theory. It's a 13-sided shape that they dubbed "the hat," even though it only vaguely resembles one. What is unique about this geometrical figure is that it can tile a plane without creating a repeating pattern. The hat can tile a surface without creating transitional symmetry. In other words, the resulting pattern does not repeat. It is similar to the Penrose configuration in this regard. At first glance, you might see what you think is a repeating pattern, but consider it more closely. Imagine a floor covered in square or triangular tiles. You can lift any section and fit it on another area so long as you don't rotate it. So there is a transitional symmetry that repeats infinitely. The hat is a different bird. Just like the Penrose, you can identify matching patterns on a small scale. However, imagine lifting that supposedly repeating series of tiles and those around … [Read more...] about Mathematicians create a non-repeating pattern from a new 13-sided polygon dubbed ‘the hat’
Google dément que l’IA de Bard ait copié la moindre donnée de ChatGPT
L'IA Bard de Google s'est retrouvée au centre d'une nouvelle controverse, cette fois en raison d'allégations selon lesquelles ce rival de Bing a été formé à partir de données extraites de ChatGPT d'OpenAI. Comme vous le savez peut-être, ChatGPT est le cerveau de l'IA de Bing et l'accusation d'activités douteuses dans les coulisses provient d'un rapport de The Information (s'ouvre dans un nouvel onglet) . Nous y apprenons que Jacob Devlin, ingénieur logiciel chez Google - un ex-ingénieur, pourrait-on ajouter, car il a quitté l'entreprise à cause de cette affaire - affirme que Google a utilisé les données de ChatGPT (apparemment récupérées sur le site web de ShareGPT) pour développer Bard. Devlin note qu'il a averti Google de ne pas le faire, car cela allait clairement à l'encontre des conditions de service d'OpenAI. Selon le rapport toujours, Google a cessé d'utiliser les données mentionnées après les avertissements de Devlin (qui a quitté Google pour … [Read more...] about Google dément que l’IA de Bard ait copié la moindre donnée de ChatGPT
These angry Dutch farmers really hate Microsoft
As soon as Lars Ruiter steps out of his car, he is confronted by a Microsoft security guard, who is already seething with anger. Ruiter, a local councillor, has parked in the rain outside a half-finished Microsoft data center that rises out of the flat North Holland farmland. He wants to see the construction site. The guard, who recognizes Ruiter from a previous visit when he brought a TV crew here, says that’s not allowed. Within minutes, the argument has escalated, and the guard has his hand around Ruiter’s throat. The security guard lets go of Ruiter within a few seconds, and the councillor escapes with a red mark across his neck. Back in his car, Ruiter insists he’s fine. But his hands shake when he tries to change gears. He says the altercation—which he will later report to the police—shows the fog of secrecy that surrounds the Netherlands’ expanding data center business. The heated exchange between Ruiter and Microsoft’s security guard shows how contentious Big Tech’s … [Read more...] about These angry Dutch farmers really hate Microsoft

Streaming device maker Roku to cut 200 jobs in second round of layoffs
Roku Inc will lay off 6% of its workforce, or 200 employees, in its second round of job cuts , the U.S. streaming device maker said, sending its shares up nearly 3% before the bell on Thursday. In a bid to lower expenses, the company also decided to exit and sub-lease office facilities that it did not currently occupy.

Majority of the restructuring charges will be incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, while the job cuts will … [Read more...] about Streaming device maker Roku to cut 200 jobs in second round of layoffs
Zombies and Prosthetic Limbs? The Many Uses of 3D Scanners
Ever wonder why the zombies in the film "World War Z" appear so lifelike? It's not just makeup — some of them were created with the aid of high-tech scanning technology. The company Artec, based in Luxembourg, develops handheld 3D scanners that have been used for everything from Hollywood special effects to the development of prosthetic limbs. The technology makes it possible to create a digital model of an object in the real world, which can then be manipulated with computer design software, said Leonid Volkov, chief business development officer at Artec Group. [ Gallery: 3D Scans in Hollywood and Hospitals ] If, for instance, a company such as Lucas Films, Disney or Pixar (all Artec customers) is working on new 3D animated movie, and the producers want a glass of water to appear in the animation, "you have just two choices — scan it or draw it from scratch, which is much more expensive and time consuming," Volkov told Live Science. The makers of " World … [Read more...] about Zombies and Prosthetic Limbs? The Many Uses of 3D Scanners
Nintendo Switch Pro: Allt vi vet hittills
Efter månader av rykten och förmodade läckor har en Nintendo Switch Pro tillkännagivits. Typ. Det beror på att Nintendo officiellt har tillkännagivit Nintendo Switch OLED, men den stöder många av de detaljer som vi har förväntat oss under en tid från den allmänt rapporterade Switch Pro. Det verkar konstigt att Nintendo skulle släppa en trailer (Öppnas i ny flik) för Nintendo Switch OLED utan någon form av fanfar, speciellt efter att sådana stora gaming-evenemang som E3 fick komma och gå utan något tillkännagivande eller ens en teaser för enheten, men det är precis vad det gjorde. Vi hade misstänkt att vi skulle få ett evenemang dedikerat för tillkännagivandet, kanske i form av en mini Nintendo Direct, men icke - Nintendo bestämde sig för att köra på ett mer dämpat tillkännagivande. Här är allt du behöver veta om Nintendos uppdatering av den nuvarande Switch-modellen, inklusive pris, släppdatum och specifikationer.
