OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently published a post on his personal blog reflecting on AI progress and his predictions for how the technology will impact humanity’s future. “We are now confident we know how to build AGI [artificial general intelligence] as we have traditionally understood it,”Altman wrote. He added that OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is beginning to turn its attention to superintelligence. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] While there is no universally accepted definition for AGI, OpenAI has historically defined it as “a highly autonomous system that outperforms humans at most economically valuable work.” Although AI systems already outperform humans in narrow domains, such as chess, the key to AGI is generality.

Eight months since he joined the Broncos, there is nothing Bo Nix cannot fix. After producing a winning record and a playoff berth, Nix burst the thought bubble hanging over the franchise’s head since the 2018 draft. Should the Broncos have selected Wyoming star quarterback Josh Allen instead of defensive end Bradley Chubb?

At least one thing is crystal clear in the murky waters of mile-high stadium’s future: the Broncos’ new owners are preparing to make a roughly $2 billion investment and Denver’s leaders should pull out – almost — all the stops to make sure that investment is in the city. All we ask in exchange for this substantial public financial assistance is complete transparency (and of course the continuation of the popular lottery system for affordable tickets to Broncos games). The elected officials in this state and city must be honest about the value of any proposed land deals, tax breaks, taxing authority or no-bid contracts awarded to some of the wealthiest people in America to help their real estate venture. The Denver Post launched a four-part special report this month: The $tadium Game.

Any time a person catches H5N1, or bird flu, their infection is a chance for the virus to mutate in the wrong direction. When someone dies from the bird flu—as an elderly Louisiana man did on Jan. 6, becoming the first U. S. death from the disease—experts get especially concerned.

Thousands of residents have been forced to flee the Los Angeles region in the wake of raging wildfires, as firefighters have struggled to contain several blazes that were fanned by strong winds and are expected to worsen. Fueled by low humidity and raging Santa Ana winds of up to 60 mph, the Palisades Fire burned through 2,921 acres by Wednesday morning, while the Eaton Fire, which has left two people dead, had spread across 2,227 acres.

In 2017, Beijing unveiled an ambitious roadmap to dominate artificial intelligence development, aiming to secure global leadership by 2030. By 2020, the plan called for “iconic advances” in AI to demonstrate its progress. Then in late 2022, OpenAI’s release of ChatGPT took the world by surprise—and caught China flat-footed. At the time, leading Chinese technology companies were still reeling from an 18-month government crackdown that shaved around $1 trillion off China’s tech sector.
