The report suggests that Broadcom or Marvell will design the chip, but Apple might be a partner, too.

Last week, OpenAI published the GPT-4o “scorecard,” a report that details “key areas of risk” for the company’s latest large language model, and how they hope to mitigate them.

In one terrifying instance, OpenAI found that the model’s Advanced Voice Mode — which allows users to speak with ChatGPT — unexpectedly imitated users’ voices without their permission, Ars Technica reports.

“Voice generation can also occur in non-adversarial situations, such as our use of that ability to generate voices for ChatGPT’s advanced voice mode,” OpenAI wrote in its documentation. “During testing, we also observed rare instances where the model would unintentionally generate an output emulating the user’s voice.”

Alternative splicing is a genetic process where different segments of genes are removed, and the remaining pieces are joined together during transcription to messenger RNA (mRNA). This mechanism increases the diversity of proteins that can be generated from genes, by assembling sections of genetic code into different combinations. This is believed to enhance biological complexity by allowing genes to produce different versions of proteins, or protein isoforms, for many different uses.

Will artificial intelligence save us or kill us all? In Japan, AI-driven technology promises better lives for an aging population. But researchers in Silicon Valley are warning of untamable forces being unleashed– and even human extinction.

Will artificial intelligence make life better for humans or lead to our downfall? As developers race toward implementing AI in every aspect of our lives, it is already showing promise in areas like medicine. But what if it is used for nefarious purposes?

Experts have created a ‘miracle material’ that will be the end of conventional solar panels: 60 times more energy and unexpected performance.

The study

The researchers monitored the brainwaves of 100 students as they performed a series of cognitive tasks. They then conducted a group comparison analysis between the performance of students with higher test scores (as recorded prior to the study) against those with lower test scores.

The brainwave analysis was then analyzed using algorithms running on a D-Wave quantum annealing computer. According to the researchers, the study resulted in new insights concerning how cognitive ability relates to testing outcomes.
