Summary
A solar-powered, ePaper digital photo frame has been developed which requires no maintenance or electric outlet, is powered by a capacitor and employs simple software to download and display an image on ePaper. The solar engine can perform for millions of cycles, meaning V2 has the potential to last a long time. Three different prototypes have been built using 5.65, 7.3 and 10.3-inch e-paper displays.
Facts
Source: ChatGPT is not ‘artificial intelligence.’ It’s theft.
Summary
ChatGPT and other AI language models generate content using material created by others but are not credited or paid for it. While it is not stealing intellectual property since the units are too small to trace, it represents a form of the most advanced chop shop. They divide the source material into tiny components and reassemble them into something “new.”
Fact
💻 ChatGPT generates articles by dividing into small word components and repurposing them to form new narratives. The source material is not created by the model but rather input by other authors, who are not credited or paid for their work.
