The giant Chinese technology company Baidu released the answer to ChatGPT
As expected, Ernie Bot (the name means “enhanced representation from knowledge integration”, its Chinese name is 文心一言, or Wenxin Yiyan) works particularly well on tasks specific to Chinese culture, such as explaining historical facts or writing traditional poetry. (Li says that as a Chinese company, Baidu should “perform better than pre-trained LLMs” in terms of understanding Chinese.) But the highlight of the product release was the multimodal output feature of Ernie Bot, which ChatGPT and GPT-4 do not provide (OpenAI claims that GPT-4 has the ability to analyze photos of…
Anonymous app Sidechat is taking on its rival, Yik Yak…and users aren’t happy
It looks like the anonymous social media platform, Yik Yak, that started blowing up on college campuses last year, has found its way. While you may remember Yik Yak’s problems in previous years, where bullying and harassment eventually led to an embarrassing exit in the form of Square Find Tenant, the gossip app promises improved moderation starting in 2021 under new Nashville-based ownership. But now, the Yak Yak app has been republished as SideChat — under the app store’s developer label Flower Avenue. Originally published under its own name, Yik…

Mistaking performance for competence | TechCrunch
A year or two before launching Actuator, someone on staff floated the idea of my writing a weekly robotics newsletter. I balked at the suggestion. Surely, I suggested, we would be struggling to fill the pages by week two. It’s not so much that I doubted whether there was enough robotics content to keep the engine running; it was more a question of whether there would be enough relevant robotics content. We do a lot of vetting at TechCrunch. Not everything that crosses over the transom makes it on our…
Senator Warner on the restriction law and the ban of the US Tik Tok

Mark Warner (D-Virginia) wants the U.S. to take swift action against tech companies suspected of colluding with foreign governments and spies and remove their products from shelves and…
