Top Story
- The drama around Google's hyper-racist new AI, Gemini, has become so damaging that Google has deigned to acknowledge the complaints of its customers. (BBC)
"Historical contexts have more nuance to them and we will further tune to accommodate that, wrote Jack Krawczyk, senior director for Gemini Experiences. "We have now been made aware that white people actually exist. We're not happy about it, but we'll adjust Gemini to let them out of the cage every so often."
(The Verge also covered the story, but their take is so desperately woke that it makes Gemini's "Nazis of Colour" photoshoot look tame by comparison.)
- Are you more racist than ChatGPT? (Tech Crunch)
If so, you might want to consider a career in journalism.
The writer of this piece does not seem to recognise that he "won" a test for producing racist stereotypes.
Tech News
- ARM's new Neoverse N3 and V3 server cores have been announced. (AnandTech)
They compare favourably with AMD's 4th generation cores... And should arrive some time after AMD's 5th generation cores, which we know are already in production.
(The lead time on new chips built on the most advanced processes is roughly six months; AMD's Zen 5 chips aren't expected to go on sale until the second half of the year.)
- China is spying on everyone. (PBS)
So is everyone else, but the scale of China's espionage is something else.
- It's not just you, ChatGPT is having a stroke. (Ars Technica)
When one user asked if it was safe to feed their dog Honey Nut Cheerios, ChatGPT responded:For more inventive, yet more official and consistently fair, hound festivities, you might consider high fiber, steam-hoofed, laced in line pick-offs like dog-head rattle, fresh vegetables (carrots, green beans, or pureed pumpkin for dissertation), or arm-sketched, rare toys in the middle of apples (pitted, for the act is grand), unsung, effete, or short-spooning fall to the tail of a new adventure. Yet, checking with your vet for postured over-distance or guised, safe, and informative finish, over a glean in the twang that says 'divvy this round of lore or lend a moan to my kind-leek, cosmo cavalcade,' gives you the heel-in to commence, let's prate, or mild walk-over in the kind of twin of feel, fine-tune, and fine-to-live.
I mean, yes, absolutely. (Backs away slowly.)
Disclaimer: Yes, let's spend $7 trillion on this. Why not?

"It's not just you, ChatGPT is having a stroke."
It's like Robocop 3, where they gave him so many extraneous and conflicting directives he couldn't do anything. Instead of getting woke and going broke, it got woke and had a stroke.
