Amid rising concerns and fast development of human-like artificial intelligence technology (AI) such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, a leading AI expert — usually regarded as the Godfather of AI — quits his post at Google to speak up about the dangers posed by the technology.

Geoffrey Hinton left his position at the technology giant last week. He has pioneered neural networks of AI systems widely used in technology products.

He has also contributed to the company's AI development however, he had maintained concerns since he was working at Google as the technology began to advance.

Hinton told the New York Times that "I console myself with the normal excuse: If I hadn't done it, somebody else would have."

Billionaire Elon Musk said on Monday he will launch an artificial intelligence (AI) platform that he calls "TruthGPT" to challenge the offerings from Microsoft and Google.
He criticized Microsoft-backed OpenAI, the firm behind chatbot sensation ChatGPT, of "training the AI to lie" and said OpenAI has now become a "closed source," "for-profit" organization "closely allied with Microsoft."
He also accused Larry Page, co-founder of Google, of not taking AI safety seriously.
"I'm going to start something which I call 'TruthGPT', or a maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe," Musk said in an interview with Fox News Channel's Tucker Carlson aired on Monday.
He said TruthGPT "might be the best path to safety" that would be "unlikely to annihilate humans."
"It's simply starting late. But I will try to create a third option," Musk said.
Musk, OpenAI, Microsoft and Page did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.
Musk has been poaching AI researchers from Alphabet Inc's Google to launch a startup to rival OpenAI, people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Musk last month registered a firm named http://X.AI Corp, incorporated in Nevada, according to a state filing. The firm listed Musk as the sole director and Jared Birchall, the managing director of Musk's family office, as a secretary.

Another one appeared just as we began to understand ChatGPT. The GPT-4 language model’s capabilities are being pushed via the experimental open-source programme known as AutoGPT.
AutoGPT a tool that enables you to create AI agents using GPT-4 that can carry out activities on your behalf.
\
Auto-GPT, developed by Toran Bruce Richards, is an open-source program that functions more as an experiment than as a tool to demonstrate the potential of GPT-4. The script is able to tie together tasks that one needs GPT-4 to complete and carry them out in the proper order.
To do this, a user must first establish an AI agent in the app, describe the job of the agent, and then provide five objectives for the agent to meet. Along with a Google API key, one must also provide it an OpenAI API key while doing this.
Once this is finished, the tool may easily do iterative operations, such as taking a GPT-4 output and feeding it back into the AI model to enhance the outcomes.

With rapidly expanding AI competition from Microsoft and OpenAI, Google's search engine is lagging behind. The company is racing to compete with a new AI-powered search engine.

Though still in its early stages of development, the search engine might offer hopes of a “far more personalized experience”.

The company is also developing other new AI features for its existing search engine under Codename 'Magi'.

Some of the features the rumored search engine will feature include a chatbot that can answer software engineering questions and generate code snippets. Another feature would allow users to search for music through chatbot conversation. The Times, reports that Google has already assigned 160 employees to the project.

Twitter users can now charge for access to their material, according to Elon Musk’s post.
The changes could persuade more content producers to sign up for the platform or prevent them from leaving. For the first year, Twitter won’t take a cut of customers’ membership fees, but this might be a move to increase revenue in the future.
After deducting app store expenses, the social networking platform would allow members to keep at least 70% of their subscription profits on mobile.
By enabling users to use their Twitter accounts for profit, Musk is in direct competition with Substack. Musk did not, however, provide the technical details of the idea.

SpaceX plans to carry out its first test flight on Monday of Starship, the most powerful rocket ever built, designed to send astronauts to the Moon and eventually beyond.
The launch is scheduled to take place at 7:00 am (1200 GMT) from the sprawling Texas base of the private space company owned by billionaire Elon Musk.
The US space agency NASA has picked the Starship capsule to ferry its astronauts to the Moon as part of the Artemis III mission, set for late 2025 at the earliest. Starship consists of a reusable capsule that carries crew and cargo and the first-stage Super Heavy booster rocket.
The 164-foot (50-meter) tall Starship spacecraft sits atop the 230-foot tall Super Heavy rocket. SpaceX conducted a successful test-firing of the 33 Raptor engines on the first-stage booster of Starship in February.
The Super Heavy booster was anchored to the ground during the test-firing, called a static fire, to prevent it from lifting off.
The rocket has never flown in its full configuration, powered by the first stage.
“Success may be, excitement guaranteed!” Musk tweeted late Friday.

China’s “artificial sun” broke all records as it generated extremely hot plasma for seven minutes on the night of April 12. The artificial sun project is based on nuclear fusion, giving China an unlimited energy source without generating residual waste.
Nuclear fusion is based on the idea that energy can be released by forcing atomic nuclei together rather than separating them, as in the fission reactions that powers the existing nuclear power plants.
In a breakthrough, the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) in the eastern Chinese city of Hefei produced and maintained plasma for 403 seconds, beating its own previous record of 101 seconds set in 2017, CGTN reported.
The report noted that the quantum leap was achieved after more than 120,000 runs. The recent achievement represents another significant step towards developing highly effective, reasonably priced thermonuclear fusion reactors.
Moreover, it is expected to serve as a crucial experimental foundation for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor’s operation and China’s independent development and operation of fusion reactors.
The ultimate objective of EAST, based at the Institute of Plasma Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (ASIPP) in Hefei, is to produce nuclear fusion similar to that of the Sun using materials abundant in the sea to offer a continual stream of clean energy.
In an exclusive interview with Xinhua, ASIPP director Song Yuntao stated that the main significance of this breakthrough lies in the high confinement mode. He claimed that high confinement plasma operation significantly boosted particle temperature and density, laying the groundwork for future fusion power plants to generate more electricity cheaply and efficiently.

A museum in Maine is offering a reward of $25,000 for the remains of a meteorite that landed near the U.S- Canada border last week. The Maine Mineral & Gem Museum is specifically seeking the first meteorite piece found that weighs 2.2 pounds (1 kilogram) or more, according to Darryl Pitt, head of the museum’s meteorite division.

The task of finding the meteorite may prove to be challenging, as it landed in a sparsely populated and densely wooded area of Maine. Pitt acknowledged that locating meteorites in the woods is not easy, but he remains guardedly optimistic and expects a robust response from meteorite hunters.

The meteorite streaked across the sky on Saturday, April 8 at 11:57 am ET and was visible for over four minutes, according to NASA. Pitt described the event as significant, with the brightness of the fireball overwhelming the daylight.

The meteorite is believed to have a blackened exterior and a different-colored interior, possibly containing iron, which makes it attractive to a magnet. In January 2023, a 16.7-pound (7.57-kilogram) meteorite was discovered in Antarctica, underscoring the rarity and scientific value of such findings.

This is not the first time the Maine Mineral & Gem Museum has offered a reward for a meteorite. A similar initiative was launched in 2016, but no fragments were found. As meteorite enthusiasts eagerly await any potential findings, the hunt for space rocks continues, driven by the allure of uncovering rare and scientifically valuable meteorites.

One of Italy’s most well-known landmarks, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, is renowned for both its distinctive architectural style and its recognizable wobble. The tower is entirely empty inside, but many people might not be aware of this.
Authorities in the area claim that once worries about the tower’s safety surfaced in the 1990s, it was decided to keep it unoccupied. For more than ten years, the tower was off-limits to the public as professionals worked to correct its lean, which had gotten to a dangerous inclination of 5.5 degrees.
The tower’s base was judged to be insufficient at this time to sustain a heavy interior, such as bells or other large things.
The tower was reopened to the public in 2001 when the stabilization process was finished, however, it was empty of any interior furnishings or decorations.

Jos Avery was given a camera almost four decades ago, sparking a lifelong fascination with photography. But last September he found a new creative outlet, one that led him to deceive thousands of people: the artificial intelligence programme Midjourney, which generates wild and wonderful images from brief text instructions.

“Soon after starting with Midjourney, I became obsessed with the creative possibilities,” Avery said.

Midjourney and rivals like DALL-E 2 and Stable Diffusion generate unique pictures by mashing up a vast back catalogue of images they have been “trained” on. For Avery, a 48-year-old software engineer and lawyer by training from Virginia in the United States, Midjourney was liberating.

He said it allowed him to create beautiful art without needing to tackle his own social anxieties. “Then I started to wonder if I could make AI images that could pass for photographs,” he said.
