Role and Power of Women in Ancient Egypt

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, business

Not only were women in ancient Egypt responsible for the nurturance and admonition of children, but they could also work at a trade, own and operate a business, inherit property, and come out well in divorce proceedings. Some women of the working class even became prosperous. They trained in medicine as well as in other highly skilled endeavors. There were female religious leaders in the priesthood, but in this instance, they were not equal to the men. In ancient Egypt, women could buy jewelry and fine linens. At times, they ruled as revered queens or pharaohs.

The role of women in ancient Egypt diminished during the late dynastic period but reappeared within the Ptolemaic dynasty. Both Ptolemy I and II put the portraits of their wives on the coins. Cleopatra VII became a very powerful figure internationally. However, after her death, the role of women receded markedly and remained virtually subservient until the 20th century.

World’s First Flying Car | XPeng X2

Posted by in category: transportation

This is the world’s first flying car the Xpeng X2. The X2 is Xpeng’s first attempt at a flying vehicle and they delivered way better than expected! The X2 can take flight for around 35 minutes after a three-hour charge and is XPeng’s first line of flying vehicles which will eventually lead to the world’s first flying car. Today Sergi gives a closer look at this incredible machine! Let us know what you think in the comments!

Google Bard vs. ChatGPT: which is the better AI chatbot?

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

As mentioned, ChatGPT is available in free and paid-for tiers. You might have to sit in a queue for the free version for a while, but anyone can play around with its capabilities.

Google Bard is currently only available to limited beta testers and is not available to the wider public.

ChatGPT and Google Bard are very similar natural language AI chatbots, but they have some differences, and are designed to be used in slightly different ways — at least for now. ChatGPT has been used for answering direct questions with direct answers, mostly correctly, but it’s caused a lot of consternation among white collar workers, like writers, SEO advisors, and copy editors, since it has also demonstrated an impressive ability to write creatively — even if it has faced a few problems with accuracy and plagiarism.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has already made its way into our personal and professional lives. Although the term is frequently used to describe a wide range of advanced computer processes, AI is best understood as a computer system or technological process that is capable of simulating human intelligence or learning to perform tasks and calculations and engage in decision-making.

Until recently, the traditional understanding of AI described machine learning (ML) technologies that recognized patterns and/or predicted behavior or preferences (also known as analytical AI).

ChatGPT able to pass Theory of Mind Test at 9-year-old human level

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Michal Kosinski, computational psychologist at Stanford University, has been testing several iterations of the ChatGPT AI chatbot developed by Open AI on its ability to pass the famous Theory of Mind Test. In his paper posted on the arXiv preprint server, Kosinski reports that testing the latest version of ChatGPT found that it passed at the level of the average 9-year-old child.

ChatGPT and other AI chatbots have sophisticated abilities, such as writing complete essays for and college students. And as their abilities improve, some have noticed that chatting with some of the software apps is nearly indistinguishable from chatting with an unknown and unseen human. Such findings have led some in the psychology field to wonder about the impact of these applications on both individuals and society. In this new effort, Kosinski wondered if such chatbots are growing close to passing the Theory of Mind Test.

The Theory of Mind Test is, as it sounds, meant to test the , which attempts to describe or understand the mental state of a person. Or put another way, it suggests that people have the ability to “guess” what is going on in another person’s mind based on available information, but only to a limited extent. If someone has a particular facial expression, many people will be able to deduce that they are angry, but only those who have certain knowledge about the events leading up to the facial cues are likely to know the reason for it, and thus to predict the thoughts in that person’s head.
