OpenAI has now made ChatGPT more human than it ever has been before

Jak Connor | Jan 22, 2025 12:02 AM CST

When OpenAI's ChatGPT was released in 2022, it was already jarring to see how much the chatbot could engage in fluent conversation. Three years later, the humanizing aspects only continue to evolve.

OpenAI has now made ChatGPT more human than it ever has been before

The latest update from OpenAI emphasizes personalization and customization. You can now tailor the chat box to the dimensions of tone (witty, supportive) and functional roles (lab assistant, companion). You'll find a settings window that provides a few options to contextualize the conversation:

Functionally, this allows me to hardwire the chatbot into the harsh, but honest tone of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Highlighting that it needs to call me 'Steve', and that I'm an office worker with a bonked knee. The perfect recipe for fitness advice!

More teens say they're using ChatGPT for schoolwork, a new study finds

Jak Connor | Jan 21, 2025 10:02 AM CST

The rise of ChatGPT and learning language models have understandably disrupted almost every knowledge industry, and education systems are no exception.

More teens say they're using ChatGPT for schoolwork, a new study finds

A recent study from the Pew Research Center examined the way that high school students interact with ChatGPT for their schoolwork. The results shed some light on the matter but suggest there's still more to uncover. 26% of US teens (aged 13-17) are reported to utilize the famous AI tool, double that of 2023. The data also reports that only 79% of teens have even heard of ChatGPT.

This figure appears awfully low, given the extent to which schools and universities are scrambling to establish new curriculums and policies in response to the chatbot. While the study openly outlines the testing methodology, the student in me is prone to suggest that, well, schoolers don't want to incriminate themselves. Given the media coverage of OpenAI, the tech savviness of a youth generation, and the discourse within education in general, it's hard to believe that the figures would truly be that low.

OpenAI's new 'Operator' touted as the next breakthrough in artificial intelligence

Jak Connor | Jan 21, 2025 9:36 AM CST

Amidst the AI arms race of 2025, OpenAI has detailed its plans to release an autonomous artificial intelligence agent entitled 'Operator.'

OpenAI's new 'Operator' touted as the next breakthrough in artificial intelligence

As reported by Bloomberg, the fancy new AI agent is designed to take actions on behalf of the user. For example, writing code or making your travel arrangements. The key distinction of agents from a tool like ChatGPT is that agents represent a shift to fully autonomous task management. Meaning, you set it up, give it a task, and let it figure out the rest. No hand-holding, minimal oversight.

Given how common it is for AI features to simply... not work. I'm reluctant to entrust an AI for my own travel plans. However, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman has been persistent in stating that agents represent the next key breakthrough for artificial intelligence. NVIDIA's Chief Executive Officer, Jensen Huang, echoes this sentiment, proclaiming that 'IT will become the HR of AI Agents.'

NVIDIA ordering more CoWoS-L advanced packaging from TSMC: ready for more Blackwell AI GPUs

Anthony Garreffa | Jan 17, 2025 4:04 PM CST

In order for NVIDIA's continued AI GPU dominance it needs advanced packaging -- TSMC is the king of the semiconductor industry, and has the world's bleeding-edge advanced packaging technology -- but NVIDIA needs more, much more.

NVIDIA ordering more CoWoS-L advanced packaging from TSMC: ready for more Blackwell AI GPUs

NVIDIA's new Blackwell AI GPUs have multiple chips glued together using a complex chip on wafer on substrate (CoWoS) advanced packaging technology that TSMC makes, with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang making some new remarks on needing more CoWoS advanced packaging capacity.

Huang said on the sidelines of an event by chip supplier Siliconware Precision Industries in Taiwan's central Taichung city: "As we move into Blackwell, we will use largely CoWoS-L. Of course, we're still manufacturing Hopper, and Hopper will use CowoS-S. We will also transition the CoWoS-S capacity to CoWos-L. So it's not about reducing capacity. It's actually increasing capacity into CoWoS-L".

NVIDIA's next-gen Rubin AI GPU rumored for 2H 2025: more AI domination thanks to next-gen HBM4

Anthony Garreffa | Jan 17, 2025 2:02 PM CST

NVIDIA's next-generation Rubin GPU architecture will enter "trial production" in 2H 2025 according to the latest rumors, with SK hynix working on getting its next-gen HBM4 memory ready earlier than expected.

NVIDIA's next-gen Rubin AI GPU rumored for 2H 2025: more AI domination thanks to next-gen HBM4

The company promised a 1-year cadence on new AI GPU architecture releases, but it seems NVIDIA is even more keen on getting new AI GPU architectures into the wild even quicker. In a new report from ZDNet Korea, we're learning that SK hynix is shipping out HBM4 AI memory samples in June at the latest, with mass production of its new HBM4 expected to begin in Q3 2025, around 3 months earlier than SK hynix had planned.

NVIDIA requested SK hynix bring its HBM4 AI memory to market ahead of schedule, and this is ahead of the expedited release of HBM4 by NVIDIA. ZDNet Korea reports that the tape-out of HBM4 to NVIDIA had taken place in Q4 2024, which means SK hynix has already completed verification stages with big partners.

Princeton experts warn against AI snake oil being widely sold by companies

Jak Connor | Jan 17, 2025 10:17 AM CST

If you've been following our coverage of CES 2025, you'll notice that AI has been the key buzzword from this year's conference.

Princeton experts warn against AI snake oil being widely sold by companies

In fact, it's been the buzzword of the last 5 years. However, amidst the fog of false corporate claims and gimmicks - two experts from Princeton University have been cutting through the falsehoods and misconceptions about the technology.

Prof. Arvind Narayanan and former Facebook engineer Sayash Kapoor appeared in a recent conversation that explored the concept of 'AI Snake Oil', and the ways that companies are using these tools to deceptively market products. One of the cited examples was how hiring tools, which claim to predict a candidate's job performance, lack any credible foundation. "Companies are selling products that literally cannot work," Kapoor emphasizes.

A woman was scammed out of $855,000 by someone who was using AI-generated photos and videos pretending to be Brad Pitt.

Scammer uses AI to pretend to be Brad Pitt: woman divorces her husband, gives 'Brad' over $800K

In February 2023, the scammed woman who identifies as Anne, says someone who was claiming to be Brad Pitt's mother, reached out to her on Instagram introducing her to her son "Brad". The woman was skeptical at first, but the scammer sent her messages, poems, and AI-generated photos and videos pretending to be Brad Pitt, and she completely fell for it.

Anne said that the purported Brad Pitt confessed his love for her, and even proposed... if that wasn't crazy enough, the woman accepted Brad's proposal, and divorced her husband. After she divorced, she received a settlement of around $798,000 to which the scammer acting as Brad Pitt.

Taiwan suppliers for NVIDIA GB200 AI servers, components: rumors of overheating GB200 are wrong

Anthony Garreffa | Jan 16, 2025 2:28 PM CST

In a report from outlet The Information a couple of days ago, rumors of NVIDIA GB200 AI servers having overheating issues heated up again, but now Taiwan suppliers have come to the table saying these rumors are false, and asking "how many times is this rumor going to get repeated?"

Taiwan suppliers for NVIDIA GB200 AI servers, components: rumors of overheating GB200 are wrong

The 4 major cloud service providers (CSPs) with Amazon AWS, Microsoft, Google, and Meta (as well as others) are reportedly cutting back on NVIDIA GB200 AI server cabinets, wanting the newer versions according to reports. The NVIDIA GB200 supply chain in Taiwan "generally expressed helplessness" yesterday, in response to the rumors of GB200 overheating.

They said "how many times will the same rumor happen" while emphasizing that shipments of NVIDIA GB200 AI servers are on schedule, and that the shipments are not affected by overheating issues. The issues from the GB200 AI server cabinets are coming from the complexity of the packaging, as there are far more higher-end, power-consuming chips inside GB200 NVL72 server cabinets compared to the previous generation.

Meta accused of training AI with illegal content, documents reveal engineer 'torrenting'

Jak Connor | Jan 16, 2025 10:10 AM CST

One of the amazing aspects of AI large language model is the sheer amount of data on which they're trained. However, the process in which this is achieved has been a subject of scrutiny for companies like OpenAI and NVIDIA.

Meta accused of training AI with illegal content, documents reveal engineer 'torrenting'

Meta is the latest to join this scandal, following a series of lawsuits that claim these organizations have been using copyrighted data to train their AI model 'Llama.' The recent allegations against Meta, entitled "Kadrey et al. vs. Meta Platforms", come from two novelists: Richard Kadrey and Christopher Golden. Like the previous cases, the lawsuit was filed on the basis that Meta was using copyrighted content without authorization.

Following a recent court order from the Northern California District Court, a range of documents were made public that indicate just that. In a documented conversation between Meta employees, an engineer says: "torrenting from a [Meta-owned] corporate laptop doesn't feel right."

Makers of viral CES 2025 human-like robot speak on ties to the adult industry

Jak Connor | Jan 16, 2025 2:02 AM CST

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) held in Las Vegas caused a wave of interesting new tech announcements, and among the tsunami of new products was Aria, the human-sized AI-powered robot that, according to the company behind it, is designed for "companionship and intimacy."

According to Andrew Kiguel, the CEO of Realbotix, the company behind Aria, the robot is designed to interact with other humans and provide comfort to those who can't find a way to bond with another human. It wasn't long before Aria became sexualized by commenters on the numerous videos floating around social platforms, which sparked an investigation into the company's history.

According to reports, the versions before Aria were in fact, sex dolls, as Realbotix once produced silicone sex dolls that have now evolved into what we can see above. A spokesperson from Realbotix told Futurism the company "no longer produces sex products" and that Aria, in particular, "does not have genitalia" and "is not meant for sex." Realbotix has spent the better part of a year rebranding its products as emotional companions rather than dolls designed for sexual engagement.
