But this time, the AI won. But what if this framing obscures something vital that human and artificial intelligence are not the same? It’s free, every week, in your inbox. The most interesting question is not who will win, but what can people and AI achieve together? Combining both forms of intelligence can provide a better outcome than either can achieve alone. This is called collaborative intelligence. Machines can do repetitive and dangerous work, but only in a set environment....
Last week,OpenAIremoved the waitlist for the tool programming interface toGPT-3, its flagship language model. Since the beta release of GPT-3, developers have built hundreds of applications on top of the language model. Butbuilding successful GPT-3 productspresents unique challenges. Heres what the people who have been developing applications with GPT-3 have to say about best practices. Models and tokens OpenAI offersfour versions of GPT-3: Ada, Babbage, Curie, and Davinci. Ada is the fastest, least expensive, and lowest-performing model....
The technology is centered on the fact that quantum particles such as electrons exist in superpositions of states. Quantum mechanics also dictates that particles will only collapse into one single measurable state when observed by a user. On classical computers, we write and process information in a binary form. Similarly, quantum bits (also known as qubits) are the native information carriers on quantum computers. Much like bits, we read binary outcomes of qubits, that is 0 or 1 for each qubit....
Black holes helped to explain new astronomical discoveries, becoming essential ingredients of astrophysics. Science regardedblack holes as abstractions until the 1960s. The recent experimental discovery of gravitational waves has changed our understanding of what black holes are. In 2019, theEvent Horizon Telescopereleased an image of the supermassive black hole in the nearby galaxy M87. What is a black hole? 40% off TNW Conference! Whatever falls into the event horizon is lost forever....
