Both actually. Ukranian journalists are nowbout of job because there's nothing else to report. Zelensky has reported it all, on his Twitter page.

LOL

NO... THE WHOLE JOURNALISTS AND MEDIA CREW ARE IN FRONT LINE AND BEING DECIMATED BY PUTIN

⚡🇷🇺 Kazan Helicopter Plant has become the only helicopter manufacturing enterprise in the world with a full production cycle.

In total, the plant has manufactured about 12 thousand helicopters, and more than 4 thousand have been exported to almost 100 countries.

By Gary Marcus
Mr. Marcus is a founder of two A.I. companies and the author of six books on natural and artificial intelligence.


GPT-5, OpenAI’s latest artificial intelligence system, was supposed to be a game changer, the culmination of billions of dollars of investment and nearly three years of work. Sam Altman, the company’s chief executive, implied that GPT-5 could be tantamount to artificial general intelligence, or A.G.I. — A.I. that is as smart and as flexible as any human expert.
Instead, as I have written, the model fell short. Within hours of its release, critics found all kinds of baffling errors: It failed some simple math questions, couldn’t count reliably and sometimes provided absurd answers to old riddles. Like its predecessors, the A.I. model still hallucinates (though at a lower rate) and is plagued by questions around its reliability. Although some people have been impressed, few saw it as a quantum leap, and nobody believed it was A.G.I. Many users asked for the old model back.
GPT-5 is a step forward but nowhere near the A.I. revolution many had expected. That is bad news for the companies and investors who placed substantial bets on the technology. And it demands a rethink of government policies and investments that were built on wildly overinflated expectations. The current strategy of merely making A.I. bigger is deeply flawed — scientifically, economically and politically. Many things, from regulation to research strategy, must be rethought. One of the keys to this may be training and developing A.I. in ways inspired by the cognitive sciences.
Fundamentally, people like Mr. Altman, the Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei and countless other tech leaders and investors had put far too much faith into a speculative and unproven hypothesis called scaling: the idea that training A.I. models on ever more data and using ever more hardware would eventually lead to A.G.I. or even a superintelligence that surpasses humans.
However, as I warned in a 2022 essay, “Deep Learning Is Hitting a Wall,” so-called scaling laws aren’t physical laws of the universe like gravity but hypotheses based on historical trends. Large language models, which power systems like GPT-5, are nothing more than souped-up statistical regurgitation machines, so they will continue to stumble into problems around truth, hallucinations and reasoning. Scaling would not bring us to the holy grail of A.G.I.
Many in the tech industry were hostile to my predictions. Mr. Altman ridiculed me as a “mediocre deep learning skeptic” and last year claimed “there is no wall.” Elon Musk shared a meme lampooning my essay.
It now seems I was right. Adding more data to large language models, which are trained to produce text by learning from vast databases of human text, helps them improve only to a degree. Even significantly scaled, they still don’t fully understand the concepts they are exposed to — which is why they sometimes botch answers or generate ridiculously incorrect drawings.

Scaling worked for a while; previous generations of GPT models made impressive advancements compared with their predecessors. But luck started to run out over the past year. Mr. Musk’s A.I. system, Grok 4, released in July, had 100 times as much training as Grok 2 had, but it was only moderately better. Meta’s jumbo Llama 4 model, much larger than its predecessor, was mostly also viewed as a failure. As many now see, GPT-5 shows decisively that scaling has lost steam.

Many of generative A.I.’s shortcomings can be traced back to failures to extract proper world models from their training data. This explains why the latest large language models, for example, are unable to fully grasp how chess works. As a result, they have a tendency to make illegal moves, no matter how many games they’ve been trained on. We need systems that don’t just mimic human language; we need systems that understand the world so that they can reason about it in a deeper way. Focusing on how to build a new generation of A.I. systems centered on world models should be a central focus of research. Google DeepMind and Fei-Fei Li’s World Labs are taking steps in this direction.

Second, the field of machine learning (which has powered large language models) likes to task A.I. systems to learn absolutely everything from scratch by scraping data from the internet, with nothing built in. But as cognitive scientists like Steven Pinker, Elizabeth Spelke and me have emphasized, the human mind is born with some core knowledge of the world that sets us up to grasp more complex concepts. Building in basic concepts like time, space and causality might allow systems to better organize the data they encounter into richer starting points — potentially leading to richer outcomes. (Verses AI’s work on physical and perceptual understanding in video games is one step in this direction.)

Large language models have had their uses, especially for coding, writing and brainstorming, in which humans are still directly involved. But no matter how large we have made them, they have never been worthy of our trust. To build A.I. that we can genuinely trust and to have a shot at A.G.I., we must move on from the trappings of scaling. We need new ideas. A return to the cognitive sciences might well be the next logical stage in the journey.

Sorry this is pretty long but worth the read. The Ai bubble is a disaster waiting to happen.

⚡Austria is ready to become a venue for peaceful negotiations between Russia and Ukraine — Austrian Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger

According to her, Vienna should strengthen its weight in global diplomacy and become a center for conflict resolution while maintaining neutrality.

"Austria is not a member of NATO, and I do not support joining NATO," said Meinl-Reisinger.

Losing neutrality is like losing your virginity, once it’s gone it’s never coming back.

I've to agree with Procashtips.
This forum is compromised.
First the censorship.
It is very extreme.... They can't even allow you to criticize Israel, If you must do it, be ready to serve a 30mins ban. Your post will be deleted too. After 30mins , you will just naturally lose interest.

I don't want to talk about the numerous spam ware & phishing mails especially once you criticize the Zionist on NL front page threads.

Y'all should thread carefully brothers. I mean if APC can weaponize this forum for the purpose of winning election, imagine what the Zionist with a bigger paycheck/capacity will do? After all, NL is one of the BIGGEST online forum in Africa.
Writer might have immunity because he probably doesn't live in Nigeria.

Have a blissful Sunday to y'all.

Trust me it's nothing like that. I used to think that way until I got banned 15 times for typing the word Robert Fico and assassination.

Even Seun is having a hard time keeping control of the bots on nairaland. He made an apology thread the other day.

There's nobody immune to ban on Nairaland. No one!

Pro Israeli folks on this thread have been banned left and right.... and you don't see them backing down.

I'm not trying to discourage anybody from posting or commenting. Just that people should apply caution. This is not about bot/antispam bot. We have to agree to disagree on this

Meanwhile, Iranian students wrote a letter to the Arab countries.

shoodboi2:
Fishermen have been an endangered species for a while. Saudi Arabia killed them extensively during its war in Yemen.

Just as Israel is doing in Gaza, Saudi attacked Yemen's food sources and bombed their ports, farms and food depots. Yemen's fishermen were not spared and were targeted and killed as part of Saudi's effort to cause a famine in Yemen.

Who managed the war for Saudi Arabia?

Is it not the same West Point educated contractors and Arab alumnus?

They're all using the same script.
From Yemen to Gaza to North Korea to Venezuela.
Evil POS.

Katz, the Israeli Defense Minister, today issued a warning to two countries to stop cooperating with Iran.

The two countries are, wait for it...

China and Russia.

Xi and Putin be like: Make my day punk.
Just do whatever is in your mind.

I'm asking them to pick a fight with Egypt and Turkey, the buff**ns are threatening China and Russia at the same time.
Asked for a rabbit, and the universe is about to deliver a herd of bison.
