    AI data centers are using the same Texas permit category as dry cleaners, and the numbers are staggering (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The data center boom powering a lot of AI infrastructure has provoked pushback from a wide array of groups critical of how they are built and run. The backlash has been strong enough that even in Texas, which had become a hub of new data centers, Governor Greg Abbott felt the need to order an audit of those seeking connections to the state’s electricity grid and to tell the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to stop issuing permits sought for them until the audit is complete. But a rather

    America.gov wants AI to deal with government bureaucracy for you — I tried it, and the future it promises makes me nervous (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    America.gov has a pitch that I suspect almost anyone who has dealt with the federal government will understand immediately. Instead of figuring out which department, or obscure corner of an agency, controls the thing you need, you tell one website what you are trying to accomplish. Then AI sorts out the bureaucracy for you. The Trump administration launched the AI-powered America.gov this week as a single digital front door for federal services. Its ambitions eventually extend to passports, Medi

    ChatGPT may have helped save a man having a stroke, and this is exactly how I want AI health advice to work (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    There are plenty of grand ideas about what AI could eventually do for healthcare, whether discovering new drugs or acting as an interactive medical historian for everyone. But a viral Reddit post offers a better, and much simpler vision for AI doctoring. According to the poster, the family was eating dinner when their father repeatedly dropped his chopsticks. His right hand felt numb, his mouth looked slightly uneven, his speech sounded strange, and he briefly lost his balance. Then he seemed to

    I tried ChatGPT Voice with plugins, and now it finally feels connected to the rest of ChatGPT (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    ChatGPT Voice has learned a useful new trick. When you're using the new Live voice model it can now use plugins and connected apps while you are talking to it, bringing services and brands into a spoken conversation. I spent some time trying the combination with everyday tasks. Instead of asking ChatGPT about dinner and then opening a grocery app myself, for example, I can keep going by voice. The change sounds relatively small until you use it because plugin support means some of those conversa

    I used ChatGPT's new flashcards to study dinosaurs — and learned embarrassingly more than I expected (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    ChatGPT has a new way to help you study with interactive flashcards that the AI chatbot can generate on demand from almost any subject or from documents you upload. The decks save automatically in your ChatGPT Library, so they become something you return to whenever you need a refresher. In my case, it was all about dinosaurs and the history of paleontology. The flashcards are baked into the conversation; you just have to ask for some on a topic or based on attached information, and ten will app
