If the whole AI thing kind of fizzles out, what does that mean for AI safety? “Is it all hype and no substance?” is a question many have been asking about generative AI lately, pointing to delays in model releases, the slow emergence of commercial applications, the success of open source models making it harder to make a profit on proprietary models, and the high cost of this whole thing.Many of the people crying “AI bankrupt” don’t seem to have a clear grasp of the bigger picture. Some of them have long argued that generative AI has no value as…

How fast is the universe expanding? Over the past 20 years, scientists have measured the “Hubble constant” (the rate at which the universe is expanding) in two different ways, leading them to come up with different answers as they wonder if there’s something missing from their models of how the universe works. But new measurements from the James Webb Space Telescope suggest that the collision, also known as the “Hubble tension,” may not exist after all. After analyzing Webb’s data, University of Chicago cosmologist Wendy Friedman and her colleagues measured the distances to 10 nearby galaxies and a new value…

A data dump containing 2.7 billion personal details of US residents, including social security numbers, was recently leaked online. The contents of the data dump were linked to National Public Data, a company that collects information from undisclosed sources and sells it for background checks. The company has now admitted to a “data security incident” in which individuals’ names, emails, addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, and mailing addresses were stolen.The language in National Public Data’s security incident report is somewhat vague and convoluted, but it does attribute the security breach to a third-party malicious actor. It states that the…

A group of medical experts considered May’s expedition a success.

Internet subscription fees remain high in Botswana. For example, 10GB of data can cost 1,400 pesos ($103), a significant amount considering the country’s minimum wage is 1,500 pesos ($111). This pricing structure has historically limited access to the internet for many people, especially young people, despite growing demand. To address this issue, Botswana launched the Smart Bots initiative in 2019 to install free Wi-Fi routers in public areas. Five years later, the project has been a resounding success, attracting over 1.6 million users. As a result, internet penetration is expected to soar from 42% in 2019 to 77% by 2024,…

In this storyLawmakers and activists are calling for federal legislation to criminalize AI-generated pornography, which they say is being used to ruin the lives of its victims, many of whom are women and girls.Medicare patients could save $1.5 billion on 10 prescription drugs”In the absence of clear laws at the federal and state levels, when victims go to police, they are often told there is nothing they can do,” Andrea Powell, executive director of the advocacy group Image-Based Sexual Violence Initiative, said at a recent roundtable discussion on the issue, an online forum hosted by the nonprofit National Organization for…

Audrey Tang didn’t have the easiest of starts in life. The Taiwanese hacker turned government minister was told at the age of four that she had a 50-50 chance of dying unless she had a major operation to fix a hole in her heart. Her doctor told her she could drop down dead at any moment if she got overexcited – and she had to wait eight more years for the op. This kind of news might bring out someone’s selfish side – if your life is going to be so truncated, live for yourself. Not Tang, though. She was…
