The recent announcement of Scale AI layoffs has served as a reminder that even the most promising startups and IT giants are not immune to the problems of the collapsing tech market as the artificial intelligence (AI) industry continues to grow.
Despite having a CEO heralded as “the next Zuckerberg” and a $7 billion valuation, Scale AI announced the “hardest change” – the layoff of 20 percent of its 700-person workforce on Monday in a blog post.
Modular aviation to meet vector thrust propulsion.
Node Air and JetX are teaming up to develop a new type of aircraft that combines the best of their respective technologies. This collaboration will connect Node Air’s modular transportation system with JetX ‘s Vector Thrust Propulsion.

The concept of modular aircraft is relatively new and has yet to be fully explored in the industry. A modular aircraft can be easily reconfigured or modified depending on the specific needs of the flight. This could include adjusting the seating arrangement, cargo capacity, or even the shape of the fuselage. The goal of a modular aircraft is to be as versatile and adaptable as possible while also reducing the costs associated with maintaining multiple specialized aircraft.
The German carmaker has received approval in Nevada, with California next on the list.
The German automaker, Mercedes Benz, is set to become the first to offer Level 3 autonomous driving technology in the US with approvals for its Drive Pilot system in Nevada, followed by California. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023, showcasing a host of new technology.

According to the German manufacturer, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Nevada has approved the application, and the required certification is expected to come through in the next two weeks. “Mercedes-Benz will be the first OEM to have a Level 3 system to offer in the US – and is optimistic that California will follow soon,” said a press release.
“The domestic transportation sector presents an enormous opportunity to drastically reduce emissions that accelerate climate change and reduce harmful pollution.”
In what can be hailed a significant and impactful move, the U.S. Department of Energy, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and the Environmental Protection Agency released a Blueprint on how to decarbonize the entire U.S. transport system. The strategy is hoped to cut all greenhouse emissions from the transportation sector by 2050.
The Biden administration unveiled a comprehensive blueprint for decarbonizing the transportation sector, which accounts for the nation’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions.
In the last week, I’ve been experimenting with the hot new version of ChatGPT to discover how it might conserve a leader’s scarcest resource: time. When OpenAI launched the AI chatbot at the end of November, it instantly attracted millions of users, with breathless predictions of its potential to disrupt business models and jobs.
It certainly promises to deliver on a prediction I made in 2019 in my book The Human Edge, which explores the skills needed in a world of artificial intelligence and digitization. I forecasted: “…AI can offer us more free time by automating the stupid stuff we currently have to do, thereby reducing our cognitive burden.”
This new chatbot can help time-poor managers by writing emails and talking points — but also in delivering complex tasks like HR performance reviews.
Artificial Intelligence is not the future. It is here today or has been for a long time — depending on who you ask. As we enter 2023, it is not enough to say that 2023 is the “year of AI” — the past few years have all been the “year of AI”. I believe 2023 is the year of AI Education.
What is AI Education? I have previously written articles about AI-Literacy, and the need for everyone in the world to understand AI at some level. AI Education is the process of becoming AI Literate.
Why is 2023 the year of AI Education? This post shows why it should be and why it can be.
Fake scientific abstracts and research papers generated using OpenAI’s highly-advanced chatbox ChatGPT fooled scientists into thinking they were real reports nearly one-third of the time, according to a new study, as the eerily human-like program raises eyebrows over the future of artificial intelligence.
Researchers at Northwestern University and the University of Chicago instructed ChatGPT to generate fake research abstracts based on 10 real ones published in medical journals, and fed the fakes through two detection programs that attempted to distinguish them from real reports.
ChatGPT created completely original scientific abstracts based on fake numbers, and stumped reviewers nearly one-third of the time.
OpenAI this week signaled it’ll soon begin charging for ChatGPT, its viral AI-powered chatbot that can write essays, emails, poems and even computer code. In an announcement on the company’s official Discord server, OpenAI said that it’s “starting to think about how to monetize ChatGPT” as one of the ways to “ensure [the tool’s] long-term viability.”
The monetized version of ChatGPT will be called ChatGPT Professional, apparently. That’s according to a waitlist link OpenAI posted in the Discord server, which asks a range of questions about payment preferences including “At what price (per month) would you consider ChatGPT to be so expensive that you would not consider buying it?”
The waitlist also outlines ChatGPT Professional’s benefits, which include no “blackout” (i.e. unavailability) windows, no throttling and an unlimited number of message with ChatGPT — “at least 2x the regular daily limit.” OpenAI says that those who fill out the waitlist form may be selected to pilot ChatGPT Professional, but that the program is in the experimental stages and won’t be made widely available “at this time.”
Year 2022 Basically this can create diamonds from trash.
Laser compression of PET plastics mimics the chemistry inside Uranus and may offer a way to simply produce nanodiamonds.
The agency is placing more holds on trials to protect patients and ensure studies are designed properly, a Wall Street Journal review found.
