Tiny black holes can compress Mount Everest into an atom size

Posted by in categories: cosmology, particle physics

These tiny black holes lose mass faster than their massive counterparts, emitting Hawking radiation until they finally evaporate.

One of the most intriguing predictions of Einstein’s general theory of relativity.

When a sufficiently massive star runs out of fuel, it explodes, and the remaining core collapses, leading to the formation of a stellar black hole (ranging from 3 to 100 solar masses).

‘Desire for invisibility’: World’s first 3D-printed solar yacht concept

Posted by in category: futurism

The ship design has ‘solar wings.’

Designer Jozeph Forakis has introduced the world’s first 3D-printed super yacht concept, and it’s called Pegasus. The concept is 88 meters long and comes complete with reflective ‘Solar Wings,’ allowing it to have zero emissions and an infinite range.

The idea for the futuristic yacht was conceived on a beach in Koufonissi island, Greece. Forakis claimed to be “inspired to create a yacht as close to the sea and nature as possible, made of clouds floating above the waterline, becoming virtually invisible,” according to the designer’s page.

ChatGPT Burns Millions Every Day. Can Computer Scientists Make AI One Million Times More Efficient?

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, robotics/AI

Running ChatGPT costs millions of dollars a day, which is why OpenAI, the company behind the viral natural-language processing artificial intelligence has started ChatGPT Plus, a $20/month subscription plan. But our brains are a million times more efficient than the GPUs, CPUs, and memory that make up ChatGPT’s cloud hardware. And neuromorphic computing researchers are working hard to make the miracles that big server farms in the clouds can do today much simpler and cheaper, bringing them down to the small devices in our hands, our homes, our hospitals, and our workplaces.

One of the keys: modeling computing hardware after the computing wetware in human brains.


“Inference costs far exceed training costs when deploying a model at any reasonable scale,” say Dylan Patel and Afzal Ahmad in SemiAnalysis. “In fact, the costs to inference ChatGPT exceed the training costs on a weekly basis. If ChatGPT-like LLMs are deployed into search, that represents a direct transfer of $30 billion of Google’s profit into the hands of the picks and shovels of the computing industry.”

Some Googlers reportedly aren’t happy about Bard’s ‘rushed’ announcement

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Google employees criticized the company and CEO Sundar Pichai over the ‘botched’ launch of its ChatGPT competitor.

Googlers are talking all about the company’s announcement of its ChatGPT rival, Bard — and many aren’t happy with how things went. According to a report from CNBC, Google employees are calling the launch of the AI chatbot “rushed” and “botched” in posts across the company’s internal message boards, with many targeting CEO Sundar Pichai.

Google announced Bard earlier this week in a bid to get ahead of Microsoft, which took the wraps off of its ChatGPT-powered Bing a day later.

Top 10 Open-Source GTP3 Alternatives You Should Try in 2023

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) is an autoregressive language model that was released just a few years back. This model uses deep learning to produce human-like text, hence has immense potential. However, considering how open the market is, there are numerous alternatives available out there. Here is a list of top 10 open-source GTP-3 alternatives you should try in 2023.

Bloom

Developed by a group of over 1,000 AI researchers, Bloom is an open-source multilingual language model that is considered as the best alternative to GPT-3. It is trained on 176 billion parameters, which is a billion more than GPT-3 and required 384 graphics cards for training, each having a memory of more than 80 gigabytes.

After Google and Microsoft, Opera jumps in the AI race

Posted by in categories: internet, robotics/AI

Opera announced a new feature that will be added to its browser’s sidebar. Called ‘shorten’, the tool is a ChatGPT-powered tool that can be used to generate summaries of webpages and articles. The blog also displays a short demo video that gives us a glimpse of how ChatGPT will be integrated in the browser.

Song Lin, Co-CEO of Opera, said in the blog post, “In more than 25 years of our company’s history, we have always been at the forefront of browser innovation. Whether inventing browser tabs or providing our users with built-in access to generative AI tools, we always push the limits of what’s possible on the web. Following the mass interest in generative AI tools, we believe it’s now time for browsers to step up and become the gateway to an AI-powered web”.

ChatGPT effect: Alibaba group to also debut a chatbot soon

Posted by in categories: business, robotics/AI

ChatGPT, Open AI’s conversational chatbot, is currently one of the most popular tools on the internet. Designed to assist in tasks ranging from summarizing information to generating some of its own, the chatbot has trumped the likes of Tiktok and Instagram regarding daily active users. Microsoft hopes to cash into this rush by powering its Bing search engine with an advanced version of the GPT, the learning language model that runs the chatbot.

Alilbaba to launch ChatGPT rival too

Such has been the craze of ChatGPT that no tech company wants to be left out of this race. After years of hyped-up AI talk, something tangible has emerged and has the potential to knock Google off its perch or at least drastically change how it conducts its business.
