This study examines the ability of GPT-3.5, GPT-3.5-turbo (ChatGPT) and GPT-4 models to generate poems in the style of specific authors using zero-shot and many-shot prompts (which use the maximum context length of 8192 tokens). We assess the performance of models that are not fine-tuned for generating poetry in the style of specific authors, via automated evaluation. Our findings indicate that without fine-tuning, even when provided with the maximum number of 17 poem examples (8192 tokens) in the prompt, these models do not generate poetry in the desired style.

It's one thing to have your cabbage patch or running man shown up by Zoomers on TikTok, but it's another level of embarrassment to have a robot out dance you. That's exactly what Boston Dynamics' cohort of robots -- including its dog Spot and more human-like bot Atlas -- did in a video that resurfaced on Twitter this weekend. Swaying to the tune of the 1962 classic "Do You Love Me?" by the Contours, the robotic dance team inspired awe, disbelief, and dread in users. But while online lamenting over the robot apocalypse is nearly always tongue-in-cheek, the engineering achievement lurking behind Spot's dance moves means this reality could be much closer and darker than we realize. It is difficult to believe your eyes when you watch the Boston Dynamics robots bust a move -- albeit jerkily -- in the December 2020 video that made new Twitter rounds this weekend.

Like many agencies, the Census Bureau looks for reductions in expenses and workloads when it makes decisions about machine learning. But the agency has discovered another advantage in the technology: It can find data that employees never knew they needed. More than 100 different surveys are handled by siloed programs within the Census Bureau, and the capture, instrumentation, processing and summation of the resulting data is "really hard to manage," said Zachary Whitman, chief data officer, at an AFCEA Bethesda event Wednesday, The bureau's dissemination branch exports data in a consolidated system where discovery and preparation is "difficult" for employees, Whitman said. So the agency is piloting ML that flags valuable information employees may not have even been searching for originally. "How do you get people to translate into information they might not know about but would be very valuable to them?" Whitman said.

With the advent of cloud computing, e-commerce, and social media, it's difficult to keep tabs on who has access to our data, and harder still to know how much care they're taking with it -- barely a day goes by without some form of data-breach, lapse, or privacy scandal coming to the fore. But what constitutes "data-misuse" is covered by a broad gamut of scenarios that reach beyond poor security hygiene. Online tracking and profiling is rife -- it turns out there is a heap of money to be made from knowing where you are, what you do, and what you like. It all comes down to personalization: selling things, be it products, playlists, or a political ideology, based on who you are. The Facebook and Cambridge Analytical, which highlighted how social networks armed with vast banks of personal data could be leveraged to profile voters and micro-target with personalized political ads, was something of a watershed moment in terms of elevating the issue of data-privacy and abuse into the public consciousness.

Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman will keynote Variety's Innovate: AI and Data Science in Media summit, presented by PwC, on Dec. 5 in Los Angeles. The duo will discuss launching mobile entertainment platform Quibi. Previously CEO and co-founder of DreamWorks Animation, Katzenberg now invests in new consumer technologies as co-founder and managing partner of WndrCo. He is also founder/chairman of Quibi. Whitman, CEO of Quibi, served the same role at Hewlett Packard Enterprise until February of this year.

Uber has had their fair share of press, both good and bad. Travis Kalanick, the combative and embattled CEO of ride-hailing giant Uber, resigned June 20, 2017 under pressure from investors at a pivotal time for the company. SAN FRANCISCO -- Uber's CEO search just reached its destination. The ride hailing company Sunday chose a surprise candidate, Expedia CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, over much discussed possibilities such as GE chairman Jeffrey Immelt and HPE CEO Meg Whitman, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to USA TODAY. Uber employees will be informed first before the company issues a public statment, the source said.

Uber's quest for a new chief executive to succeed Travis Kalanick has taken another twist after one of America's most senior corporate figures ruled himself out. Jeffrey Immelt, the former chief executive of General Electric, said via Twitter that he had "decided not to pursue a leadership position at Uber", while expressing "immense respect" for the cab-hailing company and its founders. I have decided not to pursue a leadership position at Uber. I have immense respect for the company & founders - Travis, Garrett and Ryan. Meg Whitman, chief executive of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, is now the frontrunner to become the new Uber boss, the New York Times reported, despite Whitman stating publicly last month that she would not be leaving HPE.

After Meg Whitman dismissed speculation that she is replacing Travis Kalanick as Uber's CEO, the board is struggling to find someone to fill the company's top spot. Amidst the disorganization of the board, Kalanick continues to meddle despite the fact that he stepped down in June, according to Recode. The outlet reported that Kalanick has been telling people that he is'Steve Jobs-ing it', a reference to the Apple founder who was fired and then returned to the company. Sources have said Kalanick is trying to stay involved in daily operating decisions and is having a difficult time letting go of the company. Top executives are now hoping they can look to the board for help, the outlet said.

Meg Whitman has dismissed speculation she is replacing Travis Kalanick as Uber's CEO. Hours after stepping down from chair of the Hewlett-Packard board, multiple sources claimed the 60-year-old was the front-runner for the top spot at the popular ride sharing company. But claiming the rumors were having distracting her from her ongoing role as the computer giant's CEO, she officially ruled herself out of the running. Meg Whitman, 60, (left) has emerged as the front-runner in Uber's race to find a new CEO before Labor Day to replace Travis Kalanick (right). In a statement on Twitter, she said: 'Normally I do not comment on rumors, but the speculation about my future and Uber has become a distraction.

When his criminal trial begins next week, attorneys for Andres "Andy" Avalos, a Florida man charged with murdering his wife, a neighbor and a local pastor, will mount an insanity defense on behalf of their client because, as they announced last summer, a PET scan revealed that Avalos has a severely abnormal brain. In March, shortly after an Israeli American teenager was arrested on suspicion that he made bomb threats against Jewish institutions in the U.S. and abroad, his lawyer declared that the teenager had a brain tumor that might have affected his behavior. Both cases are part of a growing movement in which attorneys use brain damage in service of a legal defense. To support such claims in court, lawyers are turning to neuroscience. The defense brings in hired guns to testify that brain scans can identify areas of dysfunction linked to antisocial behavior, poor decision-making and lack of impulse control.
