Eco-Deadly As the likes of Microsoft, which recently unveiled its ChatGPT powered Bing search engine, usher in an era of ubiquitous AI, there’s certainly no dearth of ethical and legal questions being raised. But there’s another worrying aspect of the technology that’s received far less attention: its environmental impact, Wired reports. “There are already huge resources involved in indexing and searching internet content, but the incorporation of AI requires a different kind of firepower,” Alan Woodward, a cybersecurity expert at the University of Surrey, told the magazine. “It requires processing power as well as storage and efficient search. Every time we see a…

After the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released a decryptor for affected victims to recover from ESXiArgs ransomware attacks, the threat actors have bounced back with an updated version that encrypts more data. The emergence of the new variant was reported by a system administrator on an online forum, where another participant stated that files larger than 128MB will have 50% of their data encrypted, making the recovery process more challenging. Another notable change is the removal of the Bitcoin address from the ransom note, with the attackers now urging victims to contact them on Tox to obtain the wallet information.…
Google’s product portfolio is constantly changing, and there may have been additional products that were discontinued since then. Here are the last 5 products that were discontinued by Google, along with their respective shutdown dates: Google Cloud Print – Discontinued on December 31, 2020. Google Cloud Print was a service provided by Google that allowed users to print from any device to any printer, as long as both the device and the printer were connected to the internet and registered with Google Cloud Print. The service was discontinued on December 31, 2020, and users were advised to find alternative printing…
Neural Prison When it comes to the search engine department, Microsoft is finally giving Google a literal run for its money for the first time in well over a decade. Earlier this week, Microsoft revealed its newly reinvented and AI-augmented Bing search engine, which is powered by a souped up version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. In a conversational format much like the chatbot it’s built on, the new Bing can answer almost any question you throw at it with impressive results (though varying degrees of accuracy). While some employees at the company are sobbing tears of joy, Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella took the opportunity to address concerns over safely…
Google Knol was a now-defunct knowledge-sharing platform launched by Google in 2008. It allowed users to create articles (called “knols”) on various topics, with the aim of providing a repository of expert knowledge on the internet. Despite the initial buzz around Knol, it failed to gain widespread adoption and was eventually shut down in 2012. There were several reasons for its failure, including a lack of distinctive features compared to existing platforms like Wikipedia, poor user engagement, and a lack of marketing and promotion by Google. Additionally, the competitive landscape of online content and knowledge-sharing platforms was rapidly evolving at…
Google’s new AI chatbot, Bard, has gotten off to a start after its first demo resulted in a factual error. The bot was announced on Monday as a rival to OpenAI’s ChatGPT and was set to become “more widely available to the public in the coming weeks.” In a demo shared by Google, Bard was asked about new discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope and replied with three bullet points, including a statement that the telescope “took the very first pictures of a planet outside of our own solar system.” However, this statement was incorrect. Some prominent astronomers…
Google’s Bard business model is not exactly to compete against ChatGPT but to assist Google search with logical answers. Search ads form 60% of Google’s revenue, so obviously, they don’t want to kill it. ChatGPT is a language generation model, while Bard is a text completion model. Both have their own strengths and limitations and can be successful in their respective domains. Bard is still in the testing stage while ChatGPT has passed Google’s coding interview for the level 3 engineer test with a $183k salary package. This means ChatGPT easily passes “technical level” questions but struggles to answer “logical questions”. For example – So Google has a search…
Google’s new, much-trumpeted AI appears to have made an error in one of the very few questions the world has seen it answer, and may have helped wipe $100 billion from the company’s value. The system appears to have claimed that Nasa’s James Webb Space Telescope took the first image of an exoplanet – but that was wildly wrong. The first such image was actually taken in 2003, by the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope. Google had used the question and false answer in a tweet that looked to demonstrate how the new system, named Bard, might be used in…
Amid Google’s preparation to launch its own chatbot-integrated search feature — a major push to compete with Microsoft’s ChatGPT-integrated Bing — the search giant has quietly issued some new warnings regarding publishers looking to run AI-generated content. Specifically, Google is warning outlets that there’ll be extra scrutiny from its search team on AI-generated content regarding “health, civic, or financial information.” So, basically, areas where you really want to get things right. “These issues exist in both human-generated and AI-generated content,” reads the new Google FAQ, speaking specifically to “AI content that potentially propagates misinformation or contradicts consensus on important topics.” “However content is produced, our systems look…
