• Artificial Intelligence not possible without wealth of human knowledge

  03-05-2024 14:30 via ocregister.com
  
  There is no artificial intelligence without the vast trove of human knowledge. Today’s generative AI applications were built on a foundation of such information, drawn from across the internet and from various databases totaling, according to at least one estimate, somewhere around 300 billion words.
  That’s a lot of intellectual property, much of it produced by generations of professional writers, honed and polished by editors and sent out into the world by publishers in newspapers,

• With fewer Californians and more construction, where are the housing bargains?

  03-05-2024 14:03 via ocregister.com
  
  If California’s population is well off its peak, and developers keep on building housing, why does the cost of living in the Golden State remain lofty?

  As to the signs held by and the slogans chanted by the “pro-Palestinian” protesters, switch out the words “Jew” or “Jewish” and insert the word “black.” The nationwide George Floyd/Black Lives Matter protests of the summer of 2020 would then look like a knitting circle.
  President Joe Biden condemned “the antisemitic protests,” but added, “I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians.&
