Bad news teachers: You have no way to figure out if students are using ChatGPT to cheat. Bad news for teachers and professors though: OpenAI says that sites and apps promising to uncover AI-generated copy in students' work are unreliable. Professors began to detect students using ChatGPT to cheat on college essays a little over a month after the chatbot was released in November 2022 . A survey earlier this year found that one in four teachers claimed to have caught students cheating by using ChatGPT. "By keeping a record of their conversations with AI, students can reflect on their progress over time.

The researchers behind the SemiAnalysis blog say Google's upcoming AI Gemini smashes GPT-4. That might explain OpenAI boss Sam Altman's defensive response to a post published over the weekend titled : "Google Gemini Eats The World – Gemini Smashes GPT-4 By 5X, The GPU-Poors." Gemini is a next-gen, multimodal AI model being worked on by researchers at Google's AI arm DeepMind, and is expected to be released later in 2023. In response, SemiAnalysis' Patel posted on X that he got data on Google's GPU stores from a supplier of Google — rather than Google itself. But to say Gemini Smashes GPT-4 by 5x makes it sound like it is 5x better than GPT-4, it's not, its 5x compute.

Vision 2030 is Saudi Arabia's grand plan to transform its economy and reduce its reliance on oil. The centerpiece of Vision 2030 is Neom, which includes a $1 trillion megacity known as The Line. But time is ticking: Seven years after announcing Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia has reached the midway point of its timeline, with just seven years left to the finish line. That said, much of this is being financed by the Public Investment Fund, Saudi Arabia's powerful sovereign wealth fund, which manages assets worth about $700 billion. NeomA key factor that could determine this project's success involves Saudi Arabia's changing appeal to the West.

Bosses who allowed fully remote work during the pandemic want workers back in the office, pronto. Experts say RTO orders come from elite, often male CEOs who prioritize work over work-life balance. AdvertisementAdvertisement"For most employees, life is partly work, but partly things outside work," Stanford economist Nick Bloom said. "These elite CEOs probably work 100-plus hours a week and they're much more work-focused." The mandates symbolize the sharp disconnect right now between the way CEOs and employees think about work.

The push to get workers back to offices could put millions of jobs at risk if people don't comply. What makes this even more difficult to swallow for Meta employees is just how quickly Meta's tone has changed. In June, they were informed about the need to come into the office three days a week from September 5, per The Information. AdvertisementAdvertisementAmazon is making a similar play to Meta, with a return-to-office strategy that involves scare tactics. But since few people can afford to be out of a job right now, employers may get their way.

San Francisco is getting ready to tell robotaxi operators: not so fast. San Francisco wants robotaxi operators to slow things down amid a series of unfortunate events. San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu filed motions to the California Public Utilities Commission, the regulatory body that voted in favor of full-scale robotaxi services this month, asking for permits to be temporarily suspended, The San Francisco Chronicle reported. Previously, Waymo could only offer rides without charge and Cruise was limited to operating in about a third of San Francisco. However, San Francisco residents have been increasingly vocal about their city becoming a dangerous test-bed for driverless car technology amid fears the robotaxis will cause havoc.

Pettiness is the order of the day for prominent tech bros.Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and others are behaving similarly amid their rivalries with each other. It comes at an awkward moment: petty season has come straight after layoff season. Whatever the case, it's got tech bros stooping to new depths of pettiness. Musk's response, in peak petty fashion, was to suggest that he'd rock up at Zuck's home in Palo Alto and fight him there. Tens of thousands of tech workers have been laid off in recent months amid claims that they need to get serious.

ChatGPT isn't the hottest commodity in AI right now — it's a chip named Hopper. Nvidia's Hopper, also known as H100, is the workhorse that drives the AI models behind ChatGPT. A mad dash for H100 processors is leading to a shortage. Without them, the advancement of AI models risks grinding to a halt. It also explains why there's been a mad dash to get a hold of H100 processors as the threat of shortage jolts buyers into action.

Researchers found programmers often prefer ChatGPT's (wrong) answers on coding questions. But a pre-print paper released this month suggests ChatGPT has a neat little trick to convince people it's smart: A kind of style over substance approach. Researchers from Purdue University analyzed ChatGPT's replies to 517 questions posted to Stack Overflow, an essential Q&A site for software developers and engineers. The Purdue findings follow research from Stanford and UC Berkeley academics indicating that the large language model is getting dumber. In response to the Purdue research, computer scientist and AI expert Timnit Gebru tweeted: "Great that Stack Overflow is being destroyed by OpenAI +friends."

On Thursday, California regulators voted in favor of expanding robotaxi services across the city. On Thursday, regulators at the California Public Utilities Commission voted 3-to-1 in favor of greenlighting the expansion of robotaxi services across the entirety of San Francisco. This signaled their confidence in the safety of driverless vehicles for more than 800,000 citizens. It is this that will linger in the minds of San Francisco's residents as robotaxis go mainstream in the city. This does, of course, pale in comparison with the number of accidents that take place daily in regular vehicles, but it highlights challenges for driverless vehicles nonetheless.

The internet went wild over claims scientists discovered a room-temperature superconductor. Here's how a room-temperature superconductor could change everything:Revolutionize the medical industryMRI machines currently depend on liquid helium coolant to keep cool enough to operate. A room-temperature superconductor would go a step further in helping create these fields under normal conditions. With room-temperature superconductors, EV makers might be able to take a closer step towards delivering cheap battery-run cars. This is where room-temperature superconductors could one day step in.

WeWork's rise and fall offers a stark warning for the AI era. Companies racing for glory in the AI era would do well to learn from the over-exuberance in the WeWork saga. Since the launch of ChatGPT last year, private tech investors have abandoned their temporary pullback in startup investment to throw money at almost any company with AI in the name. ChatGPT's creator OpenAI has bagged billions of dollars from Microsoft, while venture capitalists announced $10.7 billion of generative AI startup deals in the first quarter of the year, per data firm Pitchbook. But equally, investors would be wise to learn from WeWork and look under the hood of any AI firm claiming it will fundamentally alter any market.

Humanity could be on the brink of making major progress in multiple areas of science. These are artificial intelligence, room-temperature superconductors, and nuclear fusion. A lesson from ChatGPT: people get excited by progress when they understand what it means. It's not a surprising attitude from the man who also said "we wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters." Efforts remain underway to replicate a room-temperature superconductor's creation.

Tech firms once had the luxury of pursuing expensive AI research. It's a sign that companies hope AI will play a greater role in boosting revenue. The Financial Times reported that the company axed a team involved in protein folding research as part of its massive restructuring program, which Mark Zuckerberg has called the "Year of Efficiency." The company's vice-president of AI, Joelle Pineau, also said Meta "remains committed" to its Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) Team, which conducts "exploratory research based on open science." The race to make money from AI then is heating up.

These are artificial intelligence, room-temperature semiconductors, and nuclear fusion. A lesson from ChatGPT: people get excited by progress when they understand what it means. In South Korea last month, researchers declared the discovery of the world's first room-temperature, ambient pressure superconductor – a rock-like material known as LK-99. But if Andreessen and his ilk want the general public to get excited by nuclear energy and superconductors, they have the answer in their own backyard in ChatGPT. Humans need to see and understand the benefits of progress for themselves.

Mark Zuckerberg says he's eating 4,000 calories per day, 1.6 times more than the recommended intake. Apparently this includes McDonald's staples like the Quarter Pounder, fries, and McFlurry. After McDonald's posted on Threads for followers' favorite orders, Zuckerberg responded: "20 nuggets, a quarter pounder, large fries, Oreo McFlurry, apple pie, and maybe some cheeseburgers for later?" But Zuck said he needed around 4,000 calories a day to maintain his weight during his current training regime. Meta didn't respond to Insider's request for comment to confirm if their fitness-loving boss did go ahead with his McDonald's order.

Meta could soon be launching AI chatbots that speak like famous people including Abraham Lincoln. CEO Mark Zuckerberg is hoping to retain users by introducing chatbots that rival ChatGPT. Meta is exploring plans to launch AI chatbots as soon as next month that imitate famous figures, including Abraham Lincoln, as it scrambles to retain users and see off the threat from ChatGPT, a new report says. However, Meta has lacked a more consumer-facing, engaging interface like ChatGPT or Snapchat's My AI chatbot. The FT report added that the chatbots will aim to offer users fresh search functions as well as recommendations.

There's a new ideological interest in Silicon Valley: effective accelerationism. It's called effective accelerationism. The more formalized e/acc idea has taken shape on Twitter and through Substack newsletters since 2022. In an e/acc world, no idea that offers hypothetical value should be considered too absurd, too dangerous, too out there to make a reality. But one thing does seem certain: as long as AI remains front and center, so too will effective accelerationism.
