In 2023, the website then known as Twitter partially open sourced its algorithm for the first time. In those days, Tesla billionaire Elon Musk had only recently acquired the platform, and he claimed to be on a mission to restructure the social media platform to make it more transparent. However, the algorithm’s code release was swiftly critiqued for being “transparency theater,” with critics noting that it was “incomplete,” and that it didn’t reveal much about the inner workings of the organization, or why the code worked the way that it did. Now the site (rebranded as X) has open sourced…

As concern for AI’s impact on young people continues to mount, OpenAI has introduced an “age prediction” feature into ChatGPT that is designed to help identify minors and put sensible content constraints on their conversations. OpenAI has been heavily criticized in recent years for the impacts that ChatGPT can have on children. A number of teen suicides have been linked to the chatbot, and, like other AI vendors, OpenAI has also been criticized for allowing ChatGPT to discuss sexual topics with young users. Last April, the company was forced to address a bug that allowed its chatbot to generate erotica…

[CAIRO, SciDev.Net] The world has entered an era of “global water bankruptcy,” with water systems in many regions no longer able to recover to their historical levels, according to new report by the United Nations University (UNU). The report, released today (20 January) is based on a peer-reviewed paper that defines water bankruptcy as the persistent over-withdrawal of surface and groundwater beyond renewable inflows and safe limits, leading to irreversible or prohibitively costly loss of water resources.

The criticism was particularly notable because one of those chipmakers, Nvidia, is a major partner and investor in Anthropic. “The CEOs of these companies say,…

West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said the battery had gone into thermal runaway, a process whereby a battery short-circuits and begins to heat up uncontrollably.  Crew commander Mike Wattam said: “E-bike conversion kits are becoming increasingly popular, but they pose a serious fire risk when incompatible batteries and chargers are used. “Electronic devices, batteries, and chargers should only be purchased from reputable retailers to ensure they meet UK product safety standards.” On arrival, firefighters…
