Luckily for humanity, most astrophysicists' estimates don't have the universe's grand finale scheduled for around 10¹¹⁰⁰ years (that's a 1 followed by 1,100 zeros). However, based on new calculations that include the peculiar nature of certain black hole particles, the universe's curtains may fall much sooner than expected--cosmically speaking.

He is expected to attend a Gulf summit in the city on Wednesday, visit Qatar later that day and conclude his visit in the UAE on Thursday.

The debate over the risks and harms of artificial intelligence often focuses on what governments can or should do. However, just as important are the choices that AI researchers themselves make. This week, in Singapore, more than 100 scientists from around the world proposed guidelines for how researchers should approach making AI more "trustworthy, reliable, and secure." The recommendations come at a time when the giants of generative AI, such as OpenAI and Google, have increasingly reduced disclosures about their AI models, so the public knows less and less about how the work is conducted. The guidelines grew out of an exchange among the scholars last month in Singapore, in conjunction with one of the most prestigious conferences on AI, the International Conference on Learning Representations -- the first time a major AI conference has taken place in Asia.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. I love it when I find a discount on a product I use all the time in my home. In this case, the Hydro Flask Travel Tumbler that I use literally every single day is nearly half off in a bunch of great colors. This model took top honors in our list of the best travel tumblers. I would have used a real picture of my actual Hydro Flask tumbler in this post, but I adorned mine with a bunch of death metal stickers that are not totally safe for work.

ChatGPT can go far beyond writing an email or coding a complex project. Some of the most useful applications are assistance with practical tasks in your everyday life, such as explaining that really complex x-ray diagnosis that is pure jargon or why your electric bill was sky-high (both based on real scenarios that happened to me). However, this requires you to give your personal information. If you are hesitant about giving ChatGPT your private information, you have good reason to be. The companies behind these popular generative AI tools, such as OpenAI, often use user inputs to further train the models and make them smarter.
