"Its future is uncertain beyond the hope of ushering in a godlike artificial intelligence that might help cure cancer and transform work and life as we know it. Still, it is brimming with hope and excitement. "But what if OpenAI fails?" There's real concern that through many complicated... Read more ›

Animal rights advocates often contrast humanity’s dismal treatment of animals farmed for food with our adoration bordering on worship of pet cats and dogs — the point being that these distinctions between animals that are equally sentient are arbitrary, hypocritical, and pointlessly cruel. The comparison makes an important point, but it also conceals a grimmer […] Read more ›

It's not often we see a graphics card that is almost completely fried across the board. That's what happened with this poor RTX 4090 whose 12V rail leaked into the memory, frying the VRAM and travelling to the core in the process, killing the GPU for good. Not only that, but the card was also comically bent to the point where suggesting someone might've used it as a self-defense weapon... Read more ›

And the answer I have come to there is that Atlas is for OpenAI. The real customer, the true end user of Atlas, is not the person browsing websites, it is the company collecting data about what and how that person is browsing." New York... Read more ›

On Monday, a new online “encyclopedia” sputtered to life. Grokipedia is the brainchild of Elon Musk and his startup xAI, and the billionaire is promoting it as a supposedly less woke and less biased version of Wikipedia. Musk’s goal? “The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.” In both format and style, Grokipedia […] Read more ›

xAI’s Grokipedia, its Wikipedia-like online encyclopedia, is now live. The similarities go deeper than expected. Grokipedia’s design is pretty basic right now; like Wikipedia, the homepage is mostly just a big search bar, and entries resemble very basic Wikipedia entries, with headings, subheadings, and citations. I haven’t seen any photos on the site yet. Wikipedia […] Read more ›

Web browsers are getting awfully chatty. They got even chattier last week after OpenAI and Microsoft kicked the AI browser race into high gear with ChatGPT Atlas and a "Copilot Mode" for Edge.
