Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin CTO & Head of AI - Responsible for driving ethical, explainable & pragmatic AI for global customers @ Provenio AI . The Spice The power of reinforcement learning is phenomenal. It has special importance in the AI ecosystem and is unapologetically ubiquitous in nature. Reinforcement learning, simply put, is the main "spice" in tools like ChatGPT. Undoubtedly, ChatGPT has been intelligently crafted with a series of reinforcement-learning algorithms, plus more ingredients, and is no doubt taking the world by storm. People are relating to the technology by focusing on the use cases and gamifying it—the free use and access also help capture the public's imagination. But I did not like the rap song it wrote me. I'll carry that opinion to the grave. "Show The thumb And Get Your Hand Eaten" The concept of feedback economics has existed for a while.

Like clockwork, the United Nations is out with yet another climate report, and the usual suspects are already blaring the global warming alarm sirens. The New York Times warned the planet is on track “to cross a critical threshold for global warming within the next decade” and the only way to “hold global warming to relatively safe levels” would “require global cooperation, billions of dollars and big changes.” The Associated Press declared the world is on “thin ice” due to warming. The BBC characterized the UN report as a “survival guide” — if we don’t follow it, we’ll see “the worst effects of climate change.” The alarmist frenzy was joined by prominent scientists, eco-activists, Democratic politicians and even the UN chief himself, who called the report a “how-to guide to defuse the climate time-bomb. In other words, the media, elites and the scientific establishment want you to take this report very, very seriously. The problem is no one who actually cares about … [Read more...] about BASTASCH: The UN’s Newest Climate Report Is A Woke Dumpster Fire Masquerading As Science

Mr. October kept it real. Being the subject of a new documentary that will be streamed on Amazon Prime Video starting Friday, MLB Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson is currently on the promotional tour. He made a stop Wednesday to speak with Howard Stern on SiriusXM about a multitude of topics in relation to the documentary. At one point, Stern asked the New York Yankees legend if he had a hard time opening up his heart for women. “It wasn’t hard for me to open my heart, but it was hard for me to be loyal,” said Jackson. “As a man, I cheated a lot.” Jackson was completely blunt about his past infidelities. “I won’t blame it on any excuse,” Jackson said. “I just cheated. I saw a pretty girl and I tried to sleep with her.” Now I’m not advocating for cheating or anything like that, but I think we can all see what happened here, right? If you were a professional baseball superstar like Reggie Jackson with millions of dollars in your bank account and championship … [Read more...] about ‘It Was Hard To Be Loyal’: MLB Hall Of Famer Reggie Jackson Admits To Being Serial Cheater

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Mortgage rates tumbled last week to their lowest level in over a month, according to data released Wednesday morning by the Mortgage Bankers Association, as waning confidence in the U.S. banking system provides a reprieve to home buyers. Key Facts The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate slipped from 6.71% to 6.48% last week, falling to its lowest level since mid-February and its largest percentage decline since November.
