Germany balks at paying for a European ChatGPT

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:16:30 GMT

The Large European AI Models (LEAM) initiative wanted Germany to help fund its hoped-for European version of ChatGPT — but the government has other ideas.“The mundane problem is that the money is not there,” Jörg Bienert, chairman of the German AI Association, which is behind LEAM, told POLITICO. “That’s actually very sad because we’re not investing in our future at all right now,” he added.LEAM consists of scientists and researchers who want Europe to catch up in the artificial intelligence race and not be stuck relying on foreign technology. Essential to their plan is the construction of a supercomputer dedicated to building language models, at an estimated cost of between €300 million and €400 million.“We roughly estimated that we need 60 to 70 percent from the public sector as infrastructure investment,” coming to about €230 million, said Bienert. “We see these large models as a kind of public infrastructure … like a pi...

New Bedford once lit the world with whale oil. Now it wants to do the same with wind power

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:16:30 GMT

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (AP) — New Bedford was once the city that lit the world, exporting vast quantities of whale oil for lamps in the early 1800s. Workers packed the docks, unloading casks of oil that had been extracted at sea from whale carcasses and brought in by a fleet of hundreds of whaling ships.Nearly two centuries later New Bedford aspires to light the world again, in a different relationship with the sea, as the offshore wind industry arrives here.On Wednesday, the vessel UHL Felicity bringing wind turbine tower sections from Portugal reached the Port of New Bedford. Once assembled out on the water this summer by developer Vineyard Wind, the turbines will stand more than 850 feet high.“There’s this sort of poetic coming-about for New Bedford as a center of energy,” Mayor Jon Mitchell said.It’s also a milestone for the industry. The United States does not yet have a single commercial-scale offshore wind farm. But it will soon.THE BUILDOUTVineyard Wind is building a 62-turbine ...

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:16:30 GMT

SAN DIEGO -- Restaurant owners closest to the coastline will now be required to make up for parking spots they use for their outdoor dining.The new rule is outlined in a new California Coastal Commission regulation for coastal zones."I love being able to dine outdoors, it stinks when it has to be in the street and takes away from parking," said Lacy Cole, who lives in La Jolla.Parking near the coast continues to prove challenging. In new regulations by the California Coastal Commission, restaurants near the coast will have to replace parking spots taken up by their outdoor dining.It's a modification of the city's "Spaces As Places" outdoor dining program, which launched during the pandemic to help with indoor dining closures."It helped build morale, it certainly helped save the retailers and all restaurants," said Darren Moore, the owner of the Shore Rider Bar and Dough Mama Pizzeria.Moore said al fresco dining has been a lifeline for him."The number of people showing up has been sh...

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:16:30 GMT

U.S. applications for jobless claims rose slightly last week but remain at healthy levels with companies reticent to let go of employees in a tight labor market.The number of Americans filing for jobless claims for the week ending May 20 rose by 4,000 to 229,000 from 225,000 the week before, the Labor Department reported Thursday. The previous week’s number was revised down by a significant 17,000.The weekly claims numbers are broadly as representative of the number of U.S. layoffs.The four-week moving average of claims, which evens out some of the week-to-week gyrations, was unchanged at 231,750 after the previous week’s number was revised down by 12,500.
