In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have gained widespread popularity for their ability to process, generate, and manipulate texts in various languages. While these models have shown impressive capabilities in producing human-like text, they are also prone to what researchers refer to as hallucinations. These hallucinations occur when an LLM generates responses that are
Researchers at the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Huazhong University of Science and Technology, have introduced a groundbreaking electrochromic (EC) structure for energy-saving windows. This innovative technology has the potential to significantly reduce the energy consumption of buildings by dynamically regulating solar radiation through external voltage stimuli.
Trump Media and Technology Group, the owner of former US President Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform, faced significant financial challenges in the first quarter of 2024. The company reported a staggering net loss of $327.6 million from January to March, a drastic increase from the $210,300 in losses during the same period the previous year.
The field of electronics engineering has been continuously evolving, with a particular focus on designing smaller and more advanced transistors. Traditional silicon-based field effect transistors (FETs) have certain limitations when it comes to scalability, prompting researchers to explore alternative materials with higher electron mobility. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have emerged as one of the most
OpenAI recently introduced GPT-4o, an AI system designed to power the popular ChatGPT chatbot. This new version, dubbed “omni,” emphasizes natural engagement with users through human-like personality traits and behaviors. While the demonstrations showcase GPT-4o as friendly, empathetic, and engaging, the focus on personality raises important ethical questions. Comparisons to the movie “Her,” where the
Sophie Rollet, a former French childcare worker, spent ten years of her life conducting a solitary investigation to hold the US auto equipment group Goodyear responsible for her husband’s death. Her hard work and determination finally paid off when authorities conducted raids on Goodyear sites in Europe as part of a probe into involuntary manslaughter.
Artificial intelligence has made significant advances in recent years, with the ability to generate decisions in various fields such as health care, finance, and law. However, the use of AI comes with its own set of risks, particularly when it comes to biases that are ingrained in the data it is trained on. The reliance
The rejection of the union drive at Mercedes-Benz’s Alabama facilities marks a significant setback to the United Auto Workers’ ambitious campaign to organize the American South. The preliminary tally released by the National Labor Relations Board revealed that 2,642 workers voted against unionization, while 2,045 were in favor, resulting in a margin of 56 to
Spotify, the popular music streaming platform, is currently facing a lawsuit in a US federal court for allegedly underpaying songwriters, composers, and publishers. The Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC), a non-profit organization responsible for collecting and distributing royalties from music streaming services, filed the lawsuit in New York. The lawsuit claims that Spotify made changes to
