A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yesterday I gave OpenAI's latest chatbot a photo of a challenging board game quiz card with questions that I couldn't answer.
The questions were intentionally difficult, no ordinary human is expected to be able to answer them all - at least not without spending an hour googling/etc. Most of us could only answer a couple of the questions before the timer ran out and we all compared answers.
The new version of ChatGPT answered every question, perfectly, in two seconds. It couldn't do that a week ago, the tech is advancing incredibly fast.
There are definitely some things it's not very good at, but there are equally things it's very very good at - the technology is useful, unlike crypto which I see as an interesting solution to a problem that nobody has.
