[ad_1] The chatbot that millions of people have used to write term papers, computer code and fairy tales doesn’t just do words. ChatGPT, the artificial-intelligence-powered tool from OpenAI, can analyze images, too — describing what’s in them, answering questions about them and even recognizing specific people’s faces. The hope is that, eventually, someone could upload a picture of a broken-down car’s engine or a mysterious rash and ChatGPT could suggest the fix.What OpenAI doesn’t want ChatGPT to become is a facial recognition machine.For the last few months, Jonathan Mosen has been among a select group of people with access to…

[ad_1] What Is the MQTT Protocol? Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) is a lightweight messaging protocol designed for constrained devices and low-bandwidth, high-latency, or unreliable networks.

[ad_1] Tesla has launched a feature called “Charge on Solar” that allows owners to fill up their electric vehicles’ batteries using only excess solar energy. As TechCrunch notes, the automaker started testing the capability in May, but now it’s more widely available to Tesla customers in the US and in Canada.
