It is “designed to use an inherently safe and extremely robust fuel form.”

The future of deep space exploration is near. Rolls-Royce revealed a new image of a micro-reactor for space that it says is “designed to use an inherently safe and extremely robust fuel form.”

The iconic engineering firm recently tweeted the image alongside a caption. It is designing the nuclear fission system as part of an agreement it penned with the UK Space Agency in 2021.

“We are just at the beginning of our AI journey, and the best is yet to come,” said Google CEO.

Search engine giant Google is looking to deploy its artificial intelligence (A.I.)-based large language models available as a “companion to search,” CEO Sundar Pichai said during an earnings report on Thursday, Bloomberg.

A large language model (LLM) is a deep learning algorithm that can recognize and summarize content from massive datasets and use it to predict or generate text. OpenAI’s GPT-3 is one such LLM that powers the hugely popular chatbot, ChatGPT.

When grown the cows can generate 18 tons of milk per year.

Three “super cows” that can produce an unusually high amount of milk have been cloned by Chinese scientists, according to an article by the Chinese state-run media Global Times.

The new animals will reduce the nation’s dependence on imported breeds, claimed the Wednesday report.

“If this technology finds an application in power generation, we may owe the hypersonic weapons a big ‘thank you,’” says a researcher.

A team of researchers from Beijing has created a generator “capable” of converting hot gas at hypersonic speeds into a powerful electric current.

The researchers claimed that the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) generator yielded more than ten times the power generated in previous experiments.

The results highlight some potential strengths and weaknesses of ChatGPT.

Some of the world’s biggest academic journal publishers have banned or curbed their authors from using the advanced chatbot, ChatGPT. Because the bot uses information from the internet to produce highly readable answers to questions, the publishers are worried that inaccurate or plagiarised work could enter the pages of academic literature.

Several researchers have already listed the chatbot as a co-author in academic studies, and some publishers have moved to ban this practice.

UBS research just confirmed that ChatGPT is the “fastest-growing consumer application in history,” according to research from UBS research just announced that ChatGPT. “In 20 years following the Internet space, we cannot recall a faster ramp in a consumer internet app. By comparison, TikTok took nine months to reach 100 million monthly users, and Instagram about 2.5 years.” Other popular online services have taken longer to hit the one million user mark. Instagram being the closest. Another comparison is when Netflix was launched as a subscription service in 1999, the one million user mark took over 3.5 years to reach this many users.

This article discusses ChatGPT is the fastest growing Ap in the history of web applications.

Artificial intelligence will be 2023’s.

Perhaps nothing indicates this better than OpenAI and its conversational robot ChatGPT. Forbes estimates that it’s already exceeded 5 million users in less than 60 days from launch.

Then, there’s Stability AI’s open-source image generation model Stable Diffusion, which has been used on pop music videos, Hollywood movies and by more than 10 million people on a daily basis. Stability’s brash CEO Emad Mostaque predicts the “dot-AI bubble” is coming. If OpenAI (recently valued at $29 billion) and Stability ($1 billion, off virtually no revenue) are any indication, it’s already begun. While the experts Forbes spoke to have different views on how the market will play out, one thing is for sure: soon, AI will be affecting the way that you work, like it or not.

Forbes spoke to OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Greg Brockman — and more than 60 other leaders, from Bill Gates to Fei-Fei Li — about the new wave of AI hype, driven by the viral popularity of ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion. Here’s why AI is about to change how you work, like it or not.

In an unremarkable conference.

While the furor around robots taking our jobs has largely died down in recent years (not least due to the lack of any real evidence that it’s happening), it remains inevitable that the introduction of new technologies will cause disruption in the labor market.

“Throughout history the introduction of new technologies has had an inevitable impact on the labour market, whether through displacing jobs, creating new ones, or significantly altering those that already exist,” Alexander Dick, Executive Chairman of cloud technology firm VeUP says.

Previous technological revolutions significantly disrupted the labor market. What lessons can we learn about who and how that disruption played out to prevent the same happening today?
