☆ Steve Wozniak's warning: No matter how 'useful' ChatGPT is, it can 'make horrible mistakes'
  + stars: | 2023-02-10 | by ( Megan Sauer | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
On Wednesday, the Apple co-founder made an impromptu appearance on CNBC's "Squawk Box" to talk about the increasingly popular artificial intelligence chatbot. Wozniak said he finds ChatGPT "pretty impressive" and "useful to humans," despite his usual aversion to tech that claims to mimic real-life brains. Wozniak pointed to self-driving cars as a technological development with similar concerns, noting that artificial intelligence can't currently replace human drivers. By multiple measures, ChatGPT's artificial intelligence is impressive. The Webb telescope did take photographs of such planets, called exoplanets, in September.

Yet US manufacturing has likely already contracted into a recession, housing sales have plummeted, tech layoffs keep coming and corporate earnings growth is souring. “We continue to think the economy will suffer from rolling recessions, evidenced by the fact that corporate earnings growth is now entering its downturn,” wrote Sonders in a note on Wednesday. For five straight weeks, the bank’s clients have been big buyers of individual stocks and sellers of ETFs, she wrote. Disney revenue in the quarter rose 8% to $23.5 billion, edging past estimates of $23.4 billion from analysts surveyed by Refinitiv. The company reported revenue of $8.6 billion for the quarter, beating Wall Street’s estimates and marking a 49% increase from the prior year.

The tech giant posted a short GIF video of Bard in action via Twitter, describing the chatbot as a "launchpad for curiosity" that would help simplify complex topics. loadingIn the advertisement, Bard is given the prompt: "What new discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) can I tell my 9-year old about?" The first pictures of exoplanets were taken by the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in 2004, as confirmed by NASA. At the time of writing, the ad had been viewed on Twitter more than 880,000 times.

☆ Google’s AI chatbot Bard had an inaccurate response in public demo
  + stars: | 2023-02-08 | by ( Catherine Thorbecke | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
CNN —Google’s much-hyped new AI chatbot tool Bard, which has yet to be released to the public, is already being called out for an inaccurate response it produced in a demo this week. Bard’s blunder highlights the challenge for Google as it races to integrate the same AI technology that underpins Microsoft-backed ChatGPT into its core search engine. In trying to keep pace with what some think could be a radical change spurred by conversational AI in how people search online, Google now risks upending its search engine’s reputation for surfacing reliable information. Like ChatGPT, Bard is built on a large language model, which is trained on vast troves of data online in order to generate compelling responses to user prompts. The executive said AI technology would pave the way for the “next frontier of our information products.”

The first full-color image released from the next-generation James Webb Space Telescope is the sharpest infrared image of the distant universe ever produced, according to NASA. Space Telescope Science Institut / NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Webb ERONASA released the first batch of images from the tennis court-sized observatory to much fanfare in July.

Chinese officials have also said they intend to use the space station for space tourism and commercial space initiatives.
☆ AT 2022cmc: Rare cosmic event beamed light at Earth from 8.5 billion light-years away
  + stars: | 2022-11-30 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
But the rare cosmic event actually occurred 8.5 billion light years away from Earth, when the universe was just a third of its current age — and it has created more questions than answers. This graphic shows how a tidal disruption event might look in space. Carl Knox/OzGrav/Swinburne University of TechnologyWhen a star is torn apart by a black hole’s gravitational tidal forces, it’s known as a tidal disruption event. Observing more events like this could reveal how black holes launch such powerful jets across space, according to the researchers. “Scientists can use AT 2022cmc as a model for what to look for and find more disruptive events from distant black holes.”
☆ New image from one of Earth's largest telescopes shows a 'star factory' nebula in stunning detail

A new picture shows a nebula 2,500 light-years away in spectacular detail. The Cone Nebula was snapped by the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope. An annotated picture shows the nebula on a wide field picture of the sky. At about 2,500 light-years from Earth, the Cone Nebula is relatively close to us, which makes it easy to observe. The Cone Nebula can be found at the tip of the Monoceros (unicorn) constellation ESOThe unicorn constellation is visible in the winter sky from the Northern Hemisphere.
☆ Eerie image shows spectacular aftermath of a large star's death

Oct 31 (Reuters) - The aftermath of a large star's explosive death is seen in an image released on Monday by the European Southern Observatory, showing immense filaments of brightly shining gas that was blasted into space during the supernova. A light year is the distance light travels in a year, 5.9 trillion miles (9.5 trillion km). The image shows the supernova remnants about 11,000 years after the explosion, Leibundgut said. The beauty of such images is that we can directly see what material was inside a star," Leibundgut added. The star itself has been reduced in the aftermath of the supernova to an incredibly dense spinning object called a pulsar.
