Dan: I don't think that there's an ethical issue with doing what he wants to do. John works as the head translator at a company involved in adult video games. Is it ethical for someone working in that industry to essentially jailbreak these generative ais so that they can actually use them for this work? Kevin: As his manager, is it ethical for me to raise his daily quota on the amount of text that he is required to submit?

A few days after a lawyer used ChatGPT to write a brief filled with made-up cases, a group of A.I. experts released a letter warning of the “risk of extinction” from the technology. But will A.I. ever be good enough to pose such a threat?

Then, FAANG is now MAAAN, with the addition of Nvidia. Here’s how the GPU company became a trillion-dollar behemoth.
