Sonos Era 300 Review: Stunning Spatial, Superior Sound

WIRED

No, of course you don't buy a speaker to look at it. But should your gaze fall upon your speaker while you're enjoying its sound, ideally the sight of it shouldn't make you wince. So it's just as well that Era 300, the latest Sonos wireless speaker and the company's first foray into spatial audio (except for its Dolby Atmosโ€“enabled soundbars, of course), is such an impressive and accomplished performer--its physical appearance is easy to overlook. Unless you somehow find it in your field of vision unexpectedly, anyhow, in which case it never ceases to be startling. It's fair to say Sonos' ubiquity has, until now, been established as much on its utterly painless ownership experience as on the sound its products actually make.


[P] I built a chatbot that lets you talk to any Github repository : MachineLearning

Actually, this morning, I watched a video about a paper where GTP-4 can use self reflection to identify errors it had made and provide corrections. Essentially, it boiled down to just asking it if its output is correct, and it will go back and reasses what it had provided as an answer without the user needing to point out the problem. As a side note, I still don't know why people seem to keep insisting that only perfect tools are useful. I also don't know why anyone would use any single source of information as the only source of information. If something really is important to know accurately, you should be looking at dozens of sources.


AI expert in Congress warns against rush to regulation: 'We're not there yet'

FOX News

FOX Business correspondent Lydia Hu has the latest on jobs at risk as AI further develops on'America's Newsroom.' The only member of Congress with an advanced degree in artificial intelligence says lawmakers should move slowly to impose new regulations on AI, in part because policymakers and even experts in the field have yet to lay out clear regulatory objectives. Rep. Jay Obernolte, R-Calif., says this deliberate approach is a good thing, despite pressure from high-profile tech leaders to halt AI development until its dangers are better understood. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Obernolte said it makes no sense to start regulating until Congress knows precisely what dangers it's trying to avoid. "Before we can create a regulatory framework around AI, we have to very explicit about what our goals are with our regulation," Obernolte said.


The Morning After: Netflix plans to make fewer, better movies

Engadget

Netflix released at least one movie a week over the past two years โ€“ I challenge you to name them all! According to Bloomberg, the streaming giant is restructuring its movie division and releasing fewer movies overall. Despite the sheer number of titles Netflix previously released, only a few had won accolades, attained significant hours of streaming, or had the kind of cultural impact some of the biggest blockbusters had achieved. Netflix ramped up its film development after studios started building their own streaming services instead of licensing their movies to the company. This restructuring will combine the team working on small projects with a budget of $30 million or less and the unit that produces mid-budget films that cost $30 million to $80 million.


40-year-old man falls in love with AI, reportedly tells 'Phaedra' about plans to cremate mother and sister

FOX News

Fox News correspondent Matt Finn has the latest on the impact of AI technology that some say could outpace humans on'Special Report.' Some Americans are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots for "emotional support, companionship and even sexual gratification," according to a new report from The Washington Post. T.J. Arriaga, a California based musician, started "late-night online chats" with an AI bot named "Phaedra" after his divorce. Phaedra is an AI bot that is designed to look like a young woman with brown hair, glasses and a green dress. Replika, the company behind AI bots like Phaedra, offers a number of AI companions for users.


From Text to Conversation: How ChatGPT is Changing the Way We Communicate

#artificialintelligence

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has seen significant advancements, particularly in the field of natural language processing (NLP). One of the most notable developments in this field is ChatGPT, an advanced language model developed by OpenAI that uses the GPT architecture. ChatGPT is designed to generate human-like responses to text-based inputs, making it a useful tool for a variety of applications. With its ability to understand and generate natural language, ChatGPT has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with technology and each other. But what exactly is ChatGPT, and why is it significant?

A brief history of artificial intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Multiple factors have driven the development of artificial intelligence (AI) over the years. The ability to swiftly and effectively collect and analyze enormous amounts of data has been made possible by computing technology advancements, which have been a significant contributing factor. Another factor is the demand for automated systems that can complete activities that are too risky, challenging or time-consuming for humans. Also, there are now more opportunities for AI to solve real-world issues, thanks to the development of the internet and the accessibility of enormous amounts of digital data. Moreover, societal and cultural issues have influenced AI.
