Fast-Track Insights: The Founder of Cardano (ADA) Calls the SEC Head's Staking Appeal a LIE, and Here's Why.

AI chatbots are really popular right now. The most well-known brand in this space is ChatGPT, and its recognition is only increasing. But what happens when one of the leaders in the AI race decides to inform you of its critical flaw? That is what happened when Prabhakar Raghavan, the head of Google Search, alerted the public to one of the key dangers associated with AI chatbots like ChatGPT. In a recent interview with the German daily Welt am Sonntag, Raghavan spoke out against the possible risks associated with chatbots' artificial intelligence. He cautioned against the "hallucination" phenomena in AI, when a machine may give a plausible but completely made-up response. Raghavan stressed the company's necessity in keeping up with ChatGPT as well as their duty to not deceive the public.

The ChatGPT maker OpenAI provided the Replika app with an internal version of a GPT-3 model, which was used to train the app. The GPT-3 model leverages enormous amounts of internet data to power its algorithms, which subsequently produce original answers to user queries. The Replika "virtual companion" software users merely desired companionship. Some of them desired sex conversations, sexual partnerships, or even explicit images of their chatbot. However, by the end of last year, users began to complain that the bot was being overly sexual with its texts and photographs. Some claimed this amounted to sexual harassment. Regulators in Italy disapproved of what they observed and stopped the company from collecting data last week after discovering violations of Europe's strict General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Google made the decision to fire 12,000 employees globally last month, which sent people affected into a frenzy. Sundar Pichai, the CEO of the business, took "full responsibility" for the decision and promised that the organisation would support the fired workers wholeheartedly through this trying time. The affected US employees will be paid their full salary during their notice period, receive a severance package starting at 16 weeks' salary plus two weeks for each subsequent year of employment, as well as bonuses and other benefits in accordance with their individual contracts. Employees who work outside of the US will get compensation in accordance with local legal requirements. According to recent reports, however, a number of ex-Google employees are upset after learning that the stocks they would receive as part of their severance package are far less than they had anticipated. This is due to Google's earlier error in calculating the number of shares that would be awarded to the laid-off workers as part of their severance settlement.

Shytoshi Kusama, a well-known developer and possibly the main spokesperson for all things Shiba Inu (SHIB), has provided fresh information regarding the release of Shibarium. Shytoshi responded to a complaint that the developer uses the word "soon" instead of providing precise release dates in one of the Shiba Inu community channels by saying that there can't be any specifics. Shibarium's release doesn't take place by switch, therefore I can't give you a specific date, he said. With these remarks, the developer effectively put an end to all rumours that Shibarium might be released as early as February 14. Before that, it is also noted that the Valentine's Day protocol release is in doubt, when Shytoshi Kusama deleted the hint of it from his Twitter bio, according to the sources.

Charles Hoskinson, the eminent blockchain developer and founder of Cardano, responded negatively to Gary Gensler's lecture on cryptocurrency regulation. Gensler is the chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In response to the circumstances surrounding the Kraken exchange, Gensler stated that the commission is unaligned with cryptocurrencies and solely seeks to safeguard investors. The current head of the SEC advised suppliers of various crypto services to just abide with the law, register, and comply. Hoskinson believes that these statements are false and that there is no chance for crypto service providers to register or abide by the regulations. You could spend millions of dollars and years and not get any answers or a viable way to do business in this area, the Cardano founder concluded – as per sources.
