Transhumanist author predicts artificial super-intelligence, immortality, and the Singularity by 2045
Dystopian Kurzweil: As Big Tech continues frantically pushing AI development and funding, many users have become concerned about the outcome and dangers of the latest AI advancements. However, one man is more than sold on AI's ability to bring humanity to its next evolutionary level.
Cloudflare offers one-click solution to block AI bots
Why it matters: There is a growing consensus that generative AI has the potential to make the open web much worse than it was before. Currently all big tech corporations and AI startups rely on scraping all the original content they can off the web to train their AI models. The problem is that an overwhelming majority of websites isn't cool with that, nor have they given permission for such. But hey, just ask Microsoft AI CEO, who believes content on the open web is "freeware."
Energy-efficient AI model could be a game changer, 50 times better efficiency with no performance hit
Cutting corners: Researchers from the University of California, Santa Cruz, have devised a way to run a billion-parameter-scale large language model using just 13 watts of power – about as much as a modern LED light bulb. For comparison, a data center-grade GPU used for LLM tasks requires around 700 watts.

Microsoft's Phi-3 Mini boasts ChatGPT-level performance in an ultralight 3.8B parameter package
Why it matters: Advanced AI capabilities generally require massive cloud-hosted models with billions or even trillions of parameters. But Microsoft is challenging that with the Phi-3 Mini, a pint-sized AI powerhouse that can run on your phone or laptop while delivering performance rivaling some of the biggest language models out there.

Microsoft and Intel nail down what an "AI PC" is
AI PCs should include an NPU, Copilot, and the Copilot key
Why it matters: Microsoft and multiple chipmakers have spent months heralding the arrival of the "AI PC," which utilizes generative AI and large language models to facilitate various tasks in new ways. However, the definition of an AI PC remains somewhat unclear. At a recent event in Taipei, Intel began defining the specifics that it agreed upon with Microsoft.

If you teach a chatbot how to read ASCII art, it will teach you how to make a bomb
In context: Most, if not all, large language models censor responses when users ask for things considered dangerous, unethical, or illegal. Good luck getting Bing to tell you how to cook your company's books or crystal meth. Developers block the chatbot from fulfilling these queries, but that hasn't stopped people from figuring out workarounds.
