In 2008, Google created an ad-powered wiki encyclopedia called Knol, seen as a "Wikipedia killer" amid its highly-publicized launch. And the Wikimedia Foundation gave an unbothered response that I quite like: "the more good free content, the better for the world." Anyway Knol instantly flopped

This morning my ChatGPT quota was inexplicably exhausted. It took a while but I pieced it together. Voice mode somehow got activated when I went to bed. The bot then engaged in a 10 hour conversation with my snoring dog, answering questions the pup wasn’t asking and praising him for his insight.

Juste pour que tout soit 100% clair, l'IA d'Elon Musk non seulement propage des conspirations antisémites, mais il trouve aussi d'autres "exemples" et cite comme source d'info des néonazis quand on le lui demande. Ceci, après que Elon se soit plaint que Grok est "trop woke".

Xi Jinping et Poutine doivent manquer de champagne. Aussi: des iPhones à 3500 US$ (c'est le prix estimé d'un appareil qui serait fabriqué aux États-Unis) mais qui dureraient 10 ans seraient-ils plus alignés sur le nécessaire respect des limites planétaires?

We know that elephants and dolphins have names for themselves and others (as discussed in www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316...). The new hope of a growing number of biologists and computer scientists is that applying AI to animal sounds might reveal what these creatures are saying to each other!
