GPT-5: When Your Artificial Intelligence Has Expensive Taste

OpenAI's latest wonder-child, GPT-5 (nicknamed " Orion ," because apparently " Bob " wasn't fancy enough), is having what we might call a rather expensive midlife crisis.  And when I say expensive, I mean "half-a-billion-dollars-for-six-months-of-training" expensive.  That's right – this AI costs more to maintain than my neighbor's collection of vintage sports cars he never drives. GPT-5: The AI That Ate the Internet (And Is Still Hungry) You see, OpenAI has stumbled upon a fascinating discovery: there might not be enough data in the world to make their new AI as smart as they want it to be.  Imagine that! We've finally found something the internet doesn't have enough of, and it's not cat videos.  Who would've thought? The situation reminds me of trying to feed a teenage boy during a growth spurt. You open the fridge, and no matter how much food you put in there, it's never enough. GPT-5 is sitting there like a d...

Artificial Intelligence: Sam Altman's Superintelligence

A world where computers are smarter than your know-it-all uncle at dinner with your family, more efficient than your microwave, and potentially capable of solving humanity's most complex problems while simultaneously figuring out how to make the perfect cup of coffee.  Welcome to Sam Altman's vision of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) - a technology that is part science fiction and part Silicon Valley fever dream. The Comedy of Artificial Intelligence: Sam Altman's Wild Ride into Superintelligence The Prophet of Pixels: Sam Altman's AGI Prophecy When Sam Altman speaks about Artificial General Intelligence, it's like listening to a tech shaman predicting the future while juggling algorithms and venture capital. At the recent New York Times Dealbook Summit, our digital oracle made statements that would make both AI enthusiasts and skeptics scratch their heads in bewilderment. "We'll achieve AGI earlier than most people think," Altman proclaimed,...

Sam Altman: OpenAI Can't Get Enough!

So, let's talk about OpenAI, shall we? This little startup that could, or should I say, has and has and has . It's like the kid in your class who always got the best grades, the cutest girlfriend, and the lead role in the school play. And now, it's got more money than it knows what to do with. Sam Altman, OpenAI Can't Get Enough! I mean, $157 billion? That’s more zeros than I can count on my fingers and toes, combined. It's like winning the lottery, but instead of buying a yacht and a private island, they're investing in... more AI . Talk about a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," right? But hey, who am I to judge? I'm just a guy who can barely figure out how to work his coffee machine. Maybe these AI geniuses know something I don't. Maybe they're planning to build an AI that can do my taxes, walk my dog, and make me laugh. I'd be down for that. Speaking of laughter, let's talk about the leadership at OpenAI. I...

Nuclear Renaissance: How AI is Powering a Surprising Comeback

In a twist that sounds like science fiction, artificial intelligence is breathing new life into... nuclear power plants? That's right, the voracious appetite of AI for electricity is reshaping the energy landscape in ways few could have predicted. The Unlikely Alliance: Microsoft and Three Mile Island The Unlikely Alliance: Microsoft and Three Mile Island Picture this: Microsoft, the tech giant behind your computer's operating system, is now in the nuclear power business. In a groundbreaking move, they've partnered with Constellation Energy to reopen a unit at the infamous Three Mile Island nuclear plant. Yes, that Three Mile Island. But why would a company known for software venture into the world of atoms and radiation? Two words: data centers. The AI Power Hunger Games As AI technology races forward, it's consuming electricity at an alarming rate. These sophisticated systems require a constant, reliable power supply - something that solar and wind can't alw...

New AI law: Europe abolishes progress!

The EU, known for its penchant for smothering innovation, has found a new toy: artificial intelligence. And how could it be otherwise, they want to immediately strangle it with their over-regulating hands. The latest AI regulation with the sonorous name "Artificial Intelligence Act" could mean the end for ChatGPT in Europe. What a pity!   The EU also has a problem with AI systems   ChatGPT, the superstar of the AI world, has created a real hype about artificial intelligence. But of course the EU sees things differently. She would like to evaluate the various AI systems according to their risk and, depending on the classification, introduce bans and obligations. Yes, you heard that right, bans! The EU wants to ban AI systems with unacceptable risk because they could allegedly endanger people. As if we humans weren't capable of taking care of ourselves.   And it gets even better. The EU also has a problem with AI systems that all...
