Sam Altman asks: Should OpenAI let ChatGPT-4 off the leash?
In a few short months, ChatGPT has convinced a lot of people - particularly the ones closest to it - that we're standing at the inflection point of the most significant technological leap humanity has ever made. Fire, the wheel, science, money, electricity, the transistor, the internet - each of these made humanity vastly more powerful. But AI is different; it seeks to create machines that will in some sense be our equals, and will eventually become our superiors.

Most of us don't really need to wear special pants that let us know when we're exhausted; we're good at figuring that out all on our own. However, when it comes to hardcore athletes, getting an alert when the body starts moving in a way that indicates physical exhaustion could be a good thing.

Cheap, fast induction tech enables unlimited-size 3D metal printing
Additive metal manufacturing can be done in a number of ways, but the idea is generally the same: you run a big printer that deposits molten metal in layers onto a substrate that then fuse together into a solid shape. By printing from the ground up, you can create shapes that are impossible to make with traditional subtractive manufacturing, and while it's too slow and fiddly for mass manufacture, it's an incredibly fast and effective technique for small-run parts and rapid prototyping.

DREAM complex could hold key to fighting cancer and living longer
DNA may be the stuff of life, but if it isn't repaired in our bodies on a regular basis, it can lead to diseases that can cause some pretty unpleasant types of death. DNA damage has been linked to the formation of cancer, Alzheimer's disease, COPD and many other serious and often life-threatening conditions. It has also been implicated in our natural aging process. Now researchers may have found a key to why DNA is repaired in certain cells but not in others: a set of proteins called the DREAM complex. The findings may have implications for warding off cancer and extending life, although more research is needed.

The genie escapes: Stanford copies the ChatGPT AI for less than $600
Six months ago, only researchers and boffins were following the development of large language models. But ChatGPT's launch late last year sent a rocket up humanity's backside: machines are now able to communicate in a way pretty much indistinguishable from humans. They're able to write text and even programming code across a dizzying array of subject areas in seconds, often of a very high standard. They're improving at a meteoric rate, as the launch of GPT-4 illustrates, and they stand to fundamentally transform human society like few other technologies could, by potentially automating a range of job tasks - particularly among white-collar wo
