ChatGPT, OpenAI’s text-generating AI chatbot, has taken the world by storm since its launch in November 2022. What started as a tool to hyper-charge productivity through writing essays and code with short text prompts has evolved into a behemoth used by more than 92% of Fortune 500 companies. That growth has propelled OpenAI itself into […]

Via Fox News, icky Leonard Leo complains that the proposed SCOTUS reforms would "politicize the institution." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Conservative activist Leonard Leo says President Biden's efforts to overhaul the Supreme Court may be an effective way to energize his political base, but he should also watch out for less progressive voters being reminded of what's at stake in November.
"It's a good political ploy. It certainly will help to energize a Democrat base that's reeling from a lot of disorder and uncertainty lately," Leo told Fox News Digital. "But ultimately, these are the kinds of proposals that, I think, not likely to be adopted, but if ever adopted, they would really politicize the institution.".
He knows what he did, and he knows how he did it. It's just that he's used to Dems politely looking the other way instead of taking action, and he can't believe things have changed.
Go away, Leonard Leo. You're a weird little man who's obsessed with imposing your religious beliefs on this secular nation.
As failed EV startup Fisker winds its way through bankruptcy, a persistent and tricky question has become a flashpoint of the proceedings: does its lone secured lender Heights Capital Management deserve to be at the front of the line to reap the proceeds of a liquidation?

So-called “unlearning” techniques are used to make a generative AI model forget specific and undesirable info it picked up from training data, like sensitive private data or copyrighted material. But current unlearning techniques are a double-edged sword: They could make a model like OpenAI’s GPT-4o or Meta’s Llama 3.1 405B much less capable of answering […]

Disgraced former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy turned to Fox News blowhard Mark Levin to criticize Kamala Harris. He came up short, just like his entire Speakership.
After being ousted by MAGA's great forehead, Matt Gaetz, McCarthy quit instead of fighting to regain his reputation. Lucky for him, he doesn't need a reputation to be on Fox News.
"Let me tell you this. When she got elected to the US Senate, I was the Majority Leader," McCarthy said. "I reached out to meet with her. Not once would she meet with me."
Poor baby. How long were you the fearless leader of the MAGA cult? McCarthy's speakership lasted only 269 days; it was the shortest Speaker reign in more than 140 years.
"If I talked to the Democrats inside the California delegation, they didn’t care for her because she would not meet," McCarthy whined. .
Ouch. What an attack.
Dumpy Levin wants the press to interview Harris' former staffers for some dirt.
Oh sure, THAT will undermine her candidacy.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg rebuffed Fox News host Shannon Bream on Sunday after she suggested that Vice President Kamala Harris was unqualified to lead the country.
During an interview on Fox News Sunday, Bream noted that one conservative New York Times columnist had called Harris's candidacy "anti-democratic."
"That's the playbook of ruling parties in autocratic states," the Times column charged.
"You know the optics of this, that it was donors who pulled the plug on President Biden and they're the ones calling the shots about how this proceeds," Bream said.
"Well, it's true that the Democratic Party is not famous for falling in line," Buttigieg replied. "That's part of why it's so remarkable that in a matter of days, Kamala Harris has consolidated our big tent party."
"And this is something that is coming from the ground up. You can feel it," he continued. "And it's a level of energy that, frankly, I haven't seen on the campaign trail in a long time."
Bream argued that Harris had not received any Democratic delegates during primary voting.
"The idea that somebody hasn't been tested or vetted when they have been the vice president of the United States for nearly four years just doesn't make any sense," Buttigieg disagreed. "She is in obviously one of the most visible leadership roles in the country."
