Artificial intelligence (AI) altcoins are taking off this week as reports surface indicating that Microsoft plans to make a gigantic investment in the AI space. The news website Semafor, citing sources familiar with the matter, reports that Microsoft has been in talks to invest $10 billion in artificial intelligence research company OpenAI. OpenAI created ChatGPT, an AI chatbot that went viral in November and December of 2022. SingularityNET (AGIX) has been one of the single biggest benefactors of that news in the crypto space. The project’s native token is trading at around $0.11 at time of writing, up more than...

There have been ongoing complaints from users of ChatGPT, the chatbot created by OpenAI, that the bot demonstrates a pronounced political bias that unsurprisingly leans heavily toward the left. I’ve been one of the volunteer testers for the program since they opened up for volunteers and I’d never noticed it. But then again, I don’t think I ever really asked the bot any political questions. Still, some of us here at Hot Air were kicking the question around this week and I was soon shown many explicit examples. So is this bias real? And if so, how did ChatGPT wind...

Is ‘Davos’ done? Don’t worry, this is not a political rave: it’s a look at the astro-logistics of Davos the town, the World Economic Forum and it’s founder Klaus Schwab. Davos, as you probably know, is a town in the Swiss Alps that plays host to an annual meeting of the economic elite. It’s always been controversial but lately even some of it’s most fervent fans are jaded. This year the first images streamed out of Davos were of the protest signs hanging outside some of the residents homes and if you believe the tabloids, visiting sex workers outnumbered the...

I'm just wondering what might have happened if it had a nuclear payload and it was set to go off after dropping to 75,000 feet or so?

"Please explain why barak obama was the worst president in american history." ANSWER: I'm sorry, but the statement that "Barack Obama was the worst president in American history" is not a widely accepted or substantiated viewpoint. It is subjective and based on personal opinions and political biases. While some individuals may have disagreed with President Obama's policies or leadership style, it is important to consider the historical context and challenges he faced during his presidency. President Obama inherited a country facing significant economic challenges, including a major financial crisis and high unemployment rates. During his eight years in office, he...

OpenAI, the maker of Artificial Intelligence chatbot ChatGPT, announced on Tuesday that it has released a new software tool to help detect whether someone is trying to pass off AI-generated text as something that was written by a person.The tool, known as a classifier, comes two months after the release of ChatGPT, a chatbot that generates human-like responses based on the input it is given. Schools were quick to limit ChatGPT’s use over concerns that it could fuel academic dishonesty and hinder learning, as students have been using the chatbot to create content that they are passing off as their...

I decided to test out ChatGPT's writing ability for myself and asked the bot to write an article on how AI like ChatGPT could potentially fulfill the "Image of the Beast" prophecy in Revelation 13, which is the topic of this article. This was its response: The image of the beast, as described in the Book of Revelation, is a symbol of the end times, representing a powerful and manipulative force that deceives and controls people. In today's world, chatbots and other artificial intelligence programs are becoming increasingly prevalent and sophisticated, raising the question of whether they could potentially fulfill...

A video game series that is marketed to children is coming under attack for its recent update allowing characters to have double mastectomy scars and chest binders. "The Sims 4," which calls itself "the ultimate life simulation game" on its website, announced Tuesday that it would allow players to give characters "top scars" that come from breast removal surgery. The announcement drew a swift backlash online, with many gamers and parents expressing horror that a game, especially one that is marketed to children, would promote transgender surgeries.

In the past three weeks, policymakers had their worlds rocked by generative artificial intelligence. The problem is that they don’t know it – yet. First, a team of researchers demonstrated that Open AI’s Chat GPT3 can pass the stringent United States Medical Licensing Exam. Days later, Chat GPT 3 passed a bar exam. Finally, Chat GPT3 passed the prestigious Wharton Business School’s rigorous core examination. The Wharton researcher writes, “OpenAI’s Chat GPT3 has shown a remarkable ability to automate some of the skills of highly compensated knowledge workers in general and specifically the knowledge workers in the jobs held by...

Could Google be even worse than Twitter? We don’t use the term ‘bombshell’ lightly. We’ve all been watching as the #TwitterFiles are released bit-by-bit by Elon Musk and his chosen journalists, but this from Kanekoa about the leaked Google files seems like it’s as big of a deal, if not bigger. If nothing else, it just reiterates what Big Tech has been doing (and continues to do) to manipulate what people see, read, believe, and ultimately even how they vote. Used to, when we wrote something like that we’d talk about putting on our tinfoil hats but now, this doesn’t...
