Sam Altman admits what everyone knew and promises to fix the laziness affecting ChatGPT. Some companies may still be amassing billions on classic IP addresses. IBM is the leader in AI patents, but does it really matter? AI, robots, and new types of asphalt can help slow global warming.
All about spring in Winnipeg, the axle-breaking edition of hashtag trends. I'm your host, Jim Love. He is the CIO of IT World in Canada and TechNewsDay in the US.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged what we all know, addressing user complaints about ChatGPT's performance and announcing an update designed to reduce AI's “lag” .
Following reports of chatbots failing to complete tasks and providing lackluster responses, this update aims to make ChatGPT more responsive.
This adjustment was based on user and developer observations of the AI's inconsistent behavior, such as instances where it returned short answers based on perceived timing.
In some cases, the response from ChatGPT was, “If you want more information, please refer to this website. In other words, do your own research.”
Interestingly, my own experiments show that using Bing as a search engine results in shorter responses and less interest than using WebPilot, the app that first gave ChatGPT the ability to access the web directly. I understand that.
We also promised to report the test results over the weekend, but we ran into a real issue with ChatGPT breaking down every few minutes, so the test may take several more days to complete.

Is it okay if we have a little chat here?
IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol (IP), a set of rules that defines how data is sent and received over the Internet. It was first introduced for production use within his ARPANET in 1983 and is still used to route most Internet traffic today, even though the introduction of its successor, IPv6, is underway.
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses and allows approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses, but that address supply will be exhausted, leading to a gradual transition to IPv6, which has a larger address space. IPv4 is an important part of the Internet's internetworking method and is supported by all network devices. It is known for its simplicity, ease of setup, and wide compatibility with devices. However, due to the limited number of available addresses, transitioning to IPv6 is necessary to accommodate the growing number of devices and networks.
I'm not very clear, but I pulled it from a new AI search app called Perplexity. Please check it.
But that's the conventional wisdom. However, IP advisory firm Kalorama Group revealed that he was secretly selling his IPv4 addresses worth $1.2 billion as of the end of 2023. The company specializes in processing large-scale transactions of this kind for his IP address, facilitating transactions involving 1 million people. address.
Apparently, some large companies are stockpiling IP addresses and selling them for literally millions of dollars.
So forget about peeking into the attic or going to antique roadshows. You find that you need to check these servers to see if your company has classic IP addresses in stock. They seem to be worth a lot of money.
There's a link to the Kalorama group in the show notes. Remember me when you achieve something big.
IBM has emerged as the leader in AI-related patent filings in the US, outpacing tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and even OpenAI.
With 1,591 applications over the past five years, IBM's results demonstrate a deep commitment to AI research and innovation. But despite this, and despite Watson AI's early success winning Jeopardy, the company has not received much attention in the world of generative AI.
However, in the world of AI, the number of patents may not matter. OpenAI only holds one patent, but that may not be indicative of a lack of innovation.
The findings point to a nuanced approach to intellectual property that may prioritize trade secrets over patents, reflecting the diverse strategies companies like OpenAI have in protecting and commercializing AI advances. may be suggesting.
As Meta's recent loss in copyright protection litigation shows, it is difficult to find patentable original developments in AI models. AI models are based on developments widely shared in academic literature because they grow by absorbing information from the world around them.

Now, this is where things get serious. Climate change is not only wreaking havoc with wildfires and extreme weather events, but it is also leading to more and more severe potholes.
Approximately 630,000 potholes will be reported in the UK in 2023, the highest number in five years. In the United States, approximately 44 million drivers reported vehicle damage due to potholes in 2022, which is a 57% increase compared to 2021, according to AAA data.
But it turns out that AI-powered robots could be the solution to this critical problem.
British startup Robotiz3d has developed something called ARRES PREVENT, an AI-powered robot designed to efficiently detect and repair potholes.
These robots patrol, discover potholes, analyze the shape of the holes, and collect measurement data. This will enable local authorities to identify where road maintenance is most urgently needed.
This is not just a major improvement in infrastructure. It also provides a market for carbon capture. It turns out that the solid carbon obtained from carbon capture can be processed into asphalt, which not only strengthens road surfaces but also provides a market for carbon removal.
My only question was, forget about the UK as a market. Have you ever seen Winnipeg in spring?
