Can a new Luddite rebellion rise against Big Tech? ‘We’re in a place where trouble could find us pretty quickly,’ author says

Not all wages are bad. If you’re a doctor or nurse you can earn decent. Even a PC tech can earn around $24 an hour or more and cyber security 100k and if you are an engineer you can earn a lot. If you work in a gas station however you won’t earn much. If you are in assembly not much either. It takes skills to earn money. Plus the politicians determine the wages too, it’s not all on big tech. Some tech companies pay more than others of course but knowing AI will increase your wages. They have courses on ChatGPT online now. Even if you run a farm you earn the most money. They’re afraid of progress or I dunno what. Yes we proceed with caution but it’s not like we stop.

Fourier and Tesla show off impressive humanoid robot progress

As Tesla’s Optimus robot shows off new capabilities in pick ‘n’ place sorting and one-legged yoga balancing, Singaporean company Fourier Intelligence has released new video showing the production process for its super-strong GR-1 humanoid.

Fourier claims the GR-1 can carry up to an extraordinary 50 kg (110 lb) of weight, thanks to a particularly beefy pair of robo-buttocks in the form of two 300-Nm (221-lb-ft) hip actuators.

Its arms and hands, though, look pretty spindly, and the company has flagged its intention that this robot will act as a rehab therapy assistant, with grab handles at its waist to help people stand up out of wheelchairs and beds. So there’s every chance that’s where these loads will be carried.

Demystifying the Magic behind Large Language Models: The Architecture

In the ever-evolving landscape of artificial intelligence and natural language processing, one phenomenon has taken center stage like never before is the large language model. These creations, infused with billions of parameters and fuelled by vast data repositories, are transforming the way we interact with machines. As this field has begun to take over the Software engineering industry, understanding the technology and diving deep into its nuances becomes paramount.

In this blog, we will do a deep dive into the pieces and components inside a Large Language Model.

ChatGPT’s Choices: Overload or Overjoyed? Decoding Decision Dynamics

Summary: Researchers delved into how ChatGPT influences user decision-making, focusing on the ‘choice overload’ phenomenon. This condition emerges when an individual is overwhelmed by numerous options, often leading to decision paralysis or dissatisfaction.

The study found, however, that users preferred larger numbers of recommendations from ChatGPT over those from humans or online agents, appreciating the perceived accuracy of the chatbot’s suggestions. This points towards a new paradigm where AI-generated options might enhance decision-making processes across various industries.

Can you melt eggs? Quora’s AI says “yes,” and Google is sharing the result

When you type a question into Google Search, the site sometimes provides a quick answer called a Featured Snippet at the top of the results, pulled from websites it has indexed. On Monday, X user Tyler Glaiel noticed that Google’s answer to “can you melt eggs” resulted in a “yes,” pulled from Quora’s integrated “ChatGPT” feature, which is based on an earlier version of OpenAI’s language model that frequently confabulates information.

“This is actually hilarious,” Glaiel wrote in a follow-up post. “Quora SEO’d themselves to the top of every search result, and is now serving chatGPT answers on their page, so that’s propagating to the answers google gives.” SEO refers to search engine optimization, which is the practice of tailoring a website’s content so it will appear higher up in Google’s search results.
