Claude is getting a better, if selective, memory. Rather than acting as perfect catalog of everything you've talked about or shared, Anthropic says the AI chatbot now has the ability to reference past chats when asked, so you don't have to re-explain yourself. The feature seems like it could help you pick up a work project after time away, or query Claude for the details of a past research session... Read more ›

AI summaries can downplay medical issues for female patients, UK research finds

The latest example of bias permeating artificial intelligence comes from the medical field. A new study surveyed real case notes from 617 adult social care workers in the UK and found that when large language models summarized the notes, they were more likely to omit language such as "disabled," "unable" or "complex" when the patient was tagged as female, which could lead to women receiving insufficient or inaccurate medical care....

Revel is ending its ridesharing operation to focus on EV charging

Revel Transit is shutting down its rideshare operation in NYC, as reported by Bloomberg. The company will instead focus its efforts on EV charging. It's also seeking buyers for its fleet, including the 165 for-hire vehicle license plates it owns. "At the end of the day, rideshare is a very competitive market and asset-heavy. It’s low margin," CEO Frank Reig said. “We have made the difficult decision that the best... Read more ›

YouTuber recreates a floppy disk from scratch

There's nothing quite like the drive to build something just to see if you can. YouTuber polymatt set out to create a floppy disk drive, the favored storage medium of yesteryear, from scratch, because why not.

NVIDIA may give US government a cut of its profits to sell AI chips to China
