  • The robots achieved a 98% success rate in various simulations, showing great potential.
 

A report from Morgan Stanley suggests the datacenter industry is on track to emit 2.5 billion tons by 2030, which is three times higher than the predictions if generative AI had not come into play.

Oh, that's crazy. I guess it's more about the cost/risk of upgrading their core systems rather than the language itself.

They seem to be experimenting with that for sure, but need to ensure quality of the model doesn't degrade, as per source article:

Anthropic’s chief scientist, Jared Kaplan, said some types of synthetic data can be helpful. Anthropic said it used “data we generate internally” to inform its latest versions of its Claude models. OpenAI also is exploring synthetic data generation, the spokeswoman said.

Probably those who distrust technology companies in general I'd guess.

Only a trace amount in the air. Water is the best source but energy intensive to extract.

Apart from Dokku, there's coolify and caprover.

This seems to be the conversation logs being used for training Bard, without the bits pulled from Gmail etc. (if we're to believe the bard workspace TOS). I believe OpenAI does it too, for improving chatgpt, unless you've an enterprise subscription.

I probably won't be using this too, as terms can change anytime. But I can't seem to find the part where it says it'll using it for training data. I read the verge article, bard blog as well as TOS that is presented when you want to opt-in to this, but didn't see find it.

Here's the excerpt from the TOS:

How data is used

Bard processes your personal data that it gets from Google Workspace, such as your name and email address, and your private content, like emails or docs you created or received, and uses it to:

  • Provide Bard features to you. For example:
    • Summarize your emails when you ask
    • Share content at your request
  • Maintain Bard services. For example:
    • Recover from service crashes
    • Measure overall user experience

Your personal content that Bard gets from Google Workspace is:

  • Not allowed to be accessed or reviewed by human reviewers
  • Not used to improve generative machine learning technologies that power Bard
  • Not used to show you ads
  • Not stored past the time period needed to provide and maintain Bard services
