It has been nearly a year since ChatGPT exploded into the public consciousness, sparking in equal measure excitement and anxiety about the rise of artificial intelligence (AI).

This is precisely why for most people, AI refers only to large language models like ChatGPT. But even before such models were accessible to the public, AI was ubiquitous in modern lives. Personalised social media feeds, automated spellcheckers and digital voice assistants like Siri are all powered by AI.

Those alarmed by the rise of ChatGPT feared that AI would eat into jobs or be misused to spread disinformation. Proponents of AI branded such people as Luddites.

Since then, opinions have not become any less polarised. This became evident at a recent panel discussion at the Hong Kong Laureate Forum, hosted by the Shaw Foundation. During a talk on the role of AI in science education, some panellists were deeply sceptical that AI indeed had a role at all, while others said it would democratise science.

Despite the polarised reactions, one thing remains common between the two camps: Nobody really knows where AI is headed, even in the near future. Our best bet at prediction, it appears, is through imperfect analogies.

Professor Andrew G. Cohen of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology was of the opinion that ChatGPT would be as disruptive as an electronic calculator. When calculators first became available, he said, many were concerned that it would discourage students from performing arithmetic and mathematical functions. In the long run, calculators would negatively impact cognitive and problem-solving skills, it was believed.

While this prediction has partially come true, Cohen says the benefits of calculators far outweigh the drawbacks. With menial calculations out of the way, students had the opportunity to engage with more complex mathematical concepts. What calculators did for arithmetic, large language models can do for language, the professor argued. The interactive nature of AI will allow students to engage with science in a way they have not been able to so far, he says.

Called “Active Listening,” CMG claims the capability can identify potential customers “based on casual conversations in real time.”

Most Palestinians alive today were born into what is practically an open-air prison that is cordoned off by Israel. Being oppressed is all they have known. Its obvious that they hate their colonisers. And all these bombings will only fuel that hatred.

They have clearly linked their source as BBC. Also, pretty much all major publications have reported on it. Here's a report by AP: https://apnews.com/article/brazil-heat-wave-climate-environment-wildfires-1e4714fb2c6566120c13cf4e2b657f7d

I am confused by the way this is reported. Did he mistake his son and his ex-partner to be officers who had come to evict him and shoot at them? Or did he hold them responsible for his looming eviction?

Anyway, US really need better gun control. Looks like any nutjob can get a gun there. It is tragic to see a young life ending this way.

Yes, that one could be misinterpretation. But there are also more problematic behaviours listed in the lawsuit:

The legal action, filed in Los Angeles on Tuesday, includes allegations the dancers were "forced to endure sexually denigrating behaviour" and were "pressured into participating in disturbing sex shows" between 2021 and 2023.

Among the claims against Lizzo - whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson - are that she "pressured Ms Davis to touch the breasts" of a performer in a nightclub in Amsterdam, and Ms Davis - after resisting - eventually acquiesced "fearing it may harm her future on the team" if she didn't do so.

The case also alleges that staff working for BGBT scolded dancers for "unacceptable and disrespectful" behaviour while working on the tour, without specifying what that behaviour was.

The dancers allege that "only the dance cast - comprised of full-figured women of colour - were ever spoken to in this manner, giving [the dancers] the impression that these comments were charged with racial and fat-phobic animus".

Additionally, it alleges the dance team's captain, Shirlene Quigley, pushed her Christian beliefs on performers and derided those who engaged in premarital sex.

She is also accused of openly discussing one of the former dancers' virginity, and posting about it on social media.
