Bible Verses of the Day

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. [John 15:4-5, ESV]

Ahead of the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Anthropic, the well-funded AI startup, is testing a technology to detect when users of its GenAI chatbot ask about political topics and redirect those users to “authoritative” sources of voting information.

Called Prompt Shield, the technology, which relies on a combination of AI detection models and rules, shows a pop-up if a U.S.-based user of Claude, Anthropic’s chatbot, asks for voting information. The pop-up offers to redirect the user to TurboVote, a resource from the nonpartisan organization Democracy Works, where they can find up-to-date, accurate voting information.

Anthropic says that Prompt Shield was necessitated by Claude’s shortcomings in the area of politics- and election-related information. Claude isn’t trained frequently enough to provide real-time information about specific elections, Anthropic acknowledges, and so is prone to hallucinating — i.e. inventing facts — about those elections.

Nvidia on Thursday published a video that gives the first public glimpse into the architecture of Eos, its newest enterprise-oriented supercomputer designed for advanced AI development at the datacenter scale, and the company's fastest AI supercomputer.

The Eos machine, currently being used by Nvidia itself, is ranked as the world's No. 9 highest performing supercomputer in the latest Top 500 list, which is measured in FP64; in pure AI tasks, it's likely among the fastest. Meanwhile, its blueprint can be used to build enterprise-oriented supercomputers for other companies too.

"Every day EOS rises to meet the challenges of thousands of Nvidia's in-house developers doing AI research, helping them solve the previously unsolvable," Nvidia stated in the video.
