OpenAI and Concerns with the Rollout of Chat GPT-4

The latest iteration of the AI language model is bigger, faster, and potentially dangerous The OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, in a recent interview with ABC News talked about the rollout of GPT-4. In the interview, Altman starkly warned the new technology could be used for “large-scale disinformation” and potentially assist in cyberattacks. For what this technology promises, Altman has a strong reason to believe that certain ‘bad actors’ who don’t put some of the safety limits that OpenAI puts on.

Meta Moves on from NFTs to Focus On Other Ways to Support Creators, People, and Businesses

Space left to grow NFT and Web3 content creator communities, but with whose tools? Meta last week announced plans to end support for NFTs on Facebook and Instagram, less than a year after jumping on the digital asset bandwagon. The move was announced Monday, March 13th, by Meta commerce and fintech lead Stephane Kasriel. Kasriel wrote in a tweet: “We’re winding down digital collectibles (NFTs) for now to focus on other ways to support creators, people, and businesses.” It hasn’t been easy for the entire crypto sector recently.

GoPro might have the action camera market all sewn up, but that hasn’t stopped other brands from trying. The latest challenger is the Akaso Brave 6 Plus.

Here’s what you get in the Brave 6 Plus: 4K recording at 30fps (also, 2.7k30 / 1440p60 / 1080p90 / 720p120), 20MP still photos, 6-axis stabilization, and a USB Type-C port that also lets you plug in external microphones. You can control your Brave 6 Plus via the touchscreen, the Akaso Go app, or even via voice commands (basic operations are supported so don’t expect Alexa-level intelligence). The Brave 6 Plus comes with a clear plastic housing that makes it waterproof up to 40m, and other features include a driving mode, time lapse, slow motion, burst photos, and loop video recording (which means this could double up as a dashcam).

Akaso’s also bundling a few accessories alongside, including a splash-proof wi-fi remote with photo and video triggers, and a ‘full’ range of mounts, and yes, that includes a body clip as well as helmet and bike mounts. Unfortunately, there’s no standard tripod mounting socket on the camera itself, but Akaso bundles a housing that provides that.
